Annual Wage Talks

DETROIT, Mar. 10.-The bell
sounds next week for the OPEN

It Is doubtful if the Amer
lean people understand or
properly assess the powerful
influence that Herbert Hoover
exerts on the Eisenhower ad-
ministration. which is, as we
know, the first Republican
adm mi t Y alton since Mr..
Hoover's own which had to
devote itself chiefly to wrest-
ling with the depression that
broke only six months after it
began.
Mr.. Hoover had to wait a
long time for a Republican ad-
ministration after his own was
repudiated so Overwhelmingly
at the polls in the 1882 elec-
ton But he has come back
strong. He offers his advice in
many fields to the Eisenhower
regime though his impact is
directed through the Commits
sion on Reorganization of the
Government of which he is
chairman, and chairman in
fact as well as name.
The former President was.
as you recall, brought back
into public service by ex-
President Truman to head the
commission. Then, however,
the commission was limited to
recommending ways to make
the Government more efficient
and less waSteful by eliminat-
ing duplication of services and
functions. overlapping, and
such.
In the Eisenhower adminis-
tration. however, the Hoover
commission was given author
ity to invade the field of policy
in many areas of Government
and this Mr.. Hoover has set
out religiously to accomplish.
You can imagine he is direct
ing this with some relish; for
the policy" chiefly affected is
that body of laws and prin-
ciples passed and established
in the 20 and more years since
Mr.. Hoover left the White
House--the New Deal which
he so vigorously assails from
time to time.
This will become clear with
the release shortly OF the
Hoover Commission report on

the many groups affected
would take this lying down,
especially farmers, small -busi-
ness men and veterans. One of
the greatest economic battles
of our time, and it was bitter,
was the struggle of the farm
ers to free themselves of bank
er control so they could get
reasonable interest rates. It
was this battle that William
Jennings Bryan led around
the turn of the century; that
Woodrow Wilson Joined in his
time and which resulted dur
ing his administration in new
credit facilities for farmers
and Small-business men; that
f1ared up again in the Harding
administration, with its brief
postwar depression, to bring
additional credit facilities for
farmers, and which finally
ended with basic banking and
credit reforms in the Franklin
D. Roosevelt administration.
1t is possible that Herbert
Hoover finally has handed the
Democrats the issue for which
they have been seeking.
They have made him an
issue ever since 1882; but it
had been wearing thin the last
couple of elections.
Now he is asking for it.

closed and the taxpayer is not
permitted to change those
items as he pleases after his
income-tax return is filed,
though the Government re-
serves the right to change its
own rulings at any time.
Many a business which
started last year on a deprecia-
ton plan permitted under the
1854 law made commitments
and probably borrowed money
for expanding plant and reno
waiting equipment because of
a reliance on the good faith of
Congress. But evidently the
Democrats who are sponsoring
the reputation program are
not concerned with how much
they undermine the confidence
of the public in the future of
business. They appear more
and more irresponsible, as if
the sole object might be to
bring on a depression. This

advantageous. as the citizens

Morality is perhaps getting
to be an obsolete word in public
life. as selfish politics often
reveals, but there can be no
crime worse than a broken
word given by the Congress Of
the United States to the tax
payers Of the Nation.
Yet this very thing-repu-
dating the words of a law
passed last August and making
the repeal of certain provisions
on taxes applicable to a year
already ended, namely, the
calendar year 1954-is what is
being seriously proposed in the
Congress.
If a private citizen writes his
signature on a promissory note
and then backs out on his
word, he is subject to the pen
alties of the law. But evidently
Congress can welsh and get
away with it even though the
Constitution says plainly that
no bill of attainder" or lex
post facto law" shall be passed.
The Democratic nine -mem-
Der Policy Committee has just
come out nevertheless with a
bill which, if passed, would re-
peal Immediately the property
depreciation tax formula writ
ten into law last year. This
would affect all companies
which since the law was passed
in August, 1854, have made
extensive plans of a financial
nature to conform to that for
mula.
Some other tax-relief provi-
sions which were granted last
year and which the taxpayer
in good faith accepted as ap-
plicable to the calendar year
1854 are to be repealed if
pending bills are passed. The
taxpayer cannot recover any
sums he now may lose because
he rearranged his business af-
fairs during 1854 to fit in with
Evening star., 1955-03-10

cancel existing legislation and
make the cancellation retro
active through last year.
It is the right of Congress
to repeal anything it has ever
passed. but the date on which
the repeal becomes effective
ought, in fairness to the citi-
Zens. naturally be a day in the
future. The 1854 tax revision
law was passed after many
years of study by expert ac-
countants and specialists. It
now is reported that Congress
made some mistakes and that
some taxpayers will get some
temporary tax advantages. But.
instead of acknowledging its
errors in manful fashion and
making any new laws appli-
cable only to the future, Con-
gress is considering a scheme
which will impose upon the
citizens a penalty for the err
rors made by the legislators
themselves.
This isn't morality. 1t may
be political expediency, but it
is not calculated to improve the
relations between the taxpayer
and his Government. It is far
better that the Congress should
make up any losses from its
own mistakes by passing new
laws with new rates applicable
to future earnings than that
Congress stand convicted of
crooked dealing with the citi-
zen.
How can any American here
after plan for his children's
education or for the care of
his widow if the Congress feels
it can at any time pass retroac-
tive laws taxing the savings of
years already gone by? It's a
discouraging picture of the
future which some members
of Congress are today giving to
the American people.

But hopeful diplomats be-
lieve that Mao Tse-tung and
Chou En-lai may have decided
to think things over before
starting their much-adver-
tised attacks against the Ma
tionalists for two reasons: Cd
The obvious determination of
the United States to stop, by
force if necessary, any further
Chinese Communist aggres-
sion: and 90 the suspicious in
Peiping that when the chips
are down and Red China be-
comes heavily involved with
the Nationalist forces backed
by America, the USSR will
not come to the rescue.
For the first time since 1949
Washington has gone formally
on record that, regardless of
the attitude of our Western
European allies. we will use
our strength in the Pacific to
prevent further Communist
expansion.
The-Peiping government had
in the past good reasons to
believe that our bark was
worse than our bite. Even when
we had the wherewithal to
punish their aggressions, as in
Korea. we followed the timid
policies of our Western Eu-
fopean allies and did not seek
victory. Although the USSR
never committed itself to an
armed intervention in favor of
China. the Western politicians
renounced victory for fear of
another world war.
