fifth five-year plan eight months

an immense buildup of Soviet

Foure Arms Plan Seems
Mostly Germ of an Idea

furthermore, would be enthu-
siastically received by the under
developed nations Of the world
who would be its chief bene-
flciaries. This would solve the
problem of reducing ornaments
production without upsetting the
economic applicant Of great in
dustrial nations. It would put
an end to the armaments race
and get the great powers back
on the right track as benefactors
of humanity.
When it came to difficult ques-
tions. Mr.. Faure argued-perhaps
with some justice-that this was
not the moment to bring them
up. II you approach good ideas
from a negative and sceptical
viewpoint, he said. nothing would
ever be accomplished.
Still. to some of the audi
ence at least it seemed that
certain Of the objections would
have to be faced before Mr..
Faure's proposal could be taken
seriously in Geneva or any
where else. It would be hard,
for example, to conceive Of
realistic negotiations with Rus
Isia to work out a proportional
Icut in its arms budget when no
one except the Russians them
selves have any idea what the
size of that budget is to begin
with. A fiscal approach to dis
armament would somehow have
to be adjusted to two completely
different fiscal systems. The
economic impact of disarma-
Iment would have to be measured
against a number Of completely
different economic conditions.
Whole idea Resisted
Beyond these difficulties. the
whole idea Of proportional arms
cut has always been resisted by
the West. The Russians them
selves have recently agreed to
the principle of absolute ceilings
Ion their armed forces-a fact
which makes Mr.. Faure's return
Ito proportional disarmament the
more surprising.
It may be. as Mr.. Faure hope
fully suggests, that these and
other equally thorny difficulties
can be dealt with successfully
by experts once the basic prin-
Iciple is agreed to. 1t may also
be that Mr.. Faure has some more
ideas of his own on the subject
which he is reserving for the
conference itself. In the mean
time, however, it is hard to see
more in his proposal than a
Ipious and not very practical
wish.

PARIS, July IA Standing IN
the crowd lining the Champs
Elysees, with jet planes roaring
overhead and tanks laundering
by, makes a person wonder on
this Bastille Day what In the
world the French would do If Mr..
Faure gets his way.
To a people as nutty about
parades as the French world
disarmament might come as a
somewhat mixed blessing. Bas-
tile Day would never be the
same.
There's probably not too much
to worry about. however. Judg-
ing from what Premier Edgar
Faure has said so far about the
disarmament plan which he will
bring up at Geneva it is hard to
predict any imminent dearth of
military paraphernalia.
In fact, one gathers that the
Faure plan is not really a plan
at all but simply a germ of an
idea. AS far as it goes, his
proposal to cut military budgets
and turn the savings over to
developing the underdeveloped
is a good and praise-worthy idea
indorsed at one time or another
by most world leaders. Un-
fortunately it is an idea that
doesn't have to be followed very
far before it runs into trouble.
At a jammed press conference
yesterday the Premier elaborated
on his proposal, which had al
ready been thoroughly leaked to
press. But additional explana-
ton did very little to fill in
details or show how the plan
might be made to work. Mr..
Faure simply confirmed the basic
thought. Great powers should
reduce their military budgets by
an agreed percentage.
Sees 1879 Cut for France
AS a hypothetical example. he
suggested the French budget
might be cut by 5 or 10 per cent.
But he was careful to add pro-
portional reduction of other
powers might not necessarily be
the same.
Naturally enough. the Premier
concentrated on the advantages
of his proposition. 1t would. he
suggested, require no elaborate
system of inspection. Since pow
ers would pledge their contribu-
ton to world development in ad-
vance. they would automatically
penalize themselves economical
ly if they failed to go through
with the arms cut. The plan,

Who's Taxes Cut!

TAN collections are pouring into the In
ternal Revenue Department faster than
had been anticipated. and this good news
brings about the prospect of a tax reduc-
ton next year
There are several reasons why tax
reduction next year is probable. For one
thing, Congress and the President will be
completing terms. and elections will be due
for both in November.
Another reason is that cash collections
Tor the next budget year indicate cash
surplus Of perhaps two billion dollars
This surplus will probably be built up by
the business boom now in progress, the re-
sulting higher tax collections from both
Individuals and corporations making quar-
terly payments and from final tax colcc-

There is no doubt that tax reduction
