PENALIZING SUCCESS

Today's income tax rates are undermin-
ing the primary source OF our nations new
investment capital-the retained earnings of
business and of the middle and upper income
groups. They place a penalty on success.
Many people think of our current system
of taxation as "soak the rich" scheme. Ger
tainly many of its. sponsors intended it to
drastically cut down income from establish
ed wealth, as witness the 919o tax slice from
top-bracket income earners. But there is no
economic or moral justification for this ap-
prOach.
Progressive tax rates ''sOak" the ener-
getic, dynamic Americans on their way up.
The rates increase with particular severity
over the income range of small businessmen
the job-maxers of tomorrow.

IN ALL MODESTY

Most presidential candidates are uncer-
tain how to state that they are in the race
and at the same time preserve the appearance
of modest reluctance. Harold E. Stassen has
accomplished this quite simply. In answer to
queries he has said that he will do what
President Eisenhower wants him to do. If
the President asks him to run, he will obey.
This is also a reminder of his strong place
on the administration team and his loyalty
to his superior. If the President does not ask
.Stassen to run, however, and remains neu-
tral in the fight for his succession, will Stas-
sens formula work? In the light of what he
has said, if he decides to run, it would injure
him if the President did not encourage his
ambitions.
No matter how it is said, for any man
who intends to throw his hat into the ring,
that first declaration is hard one to phrase.
How to present oneself as able and ambiti-
Gus without alarming the electorate; how to
be becomingly hesitant of SO great an honor
without arOusing a quizzical cynicism are
problems grave enough to keep many man
lingering his hat long before he tosses it.
The chances are that if Hamlet were con-
sidering the problem, he'd have a sOlilOquy
for it which would run something like this,
'To be, and yet not seem to be, that is the
question"

GLAsS OF THE FUTURE


Research men are currently trying to
figure out why no more than one per cent
of the strength of glass is being turned to
useful account. Men have been working with
glass for thousands of years but they know
little about this material which is potentially
stronger than steel, lighter than aluminium
and as abundant as sand.
The glass industry is spending millions Of
dollars trying to earn more about the COM
position and nature of its product. The
market for glass has expanded to such an
extent that it can be handled only by ma
chimes which have replaced glass blowers
To design such machines, it is essential to
understand the nature of glass.
Tests have been conducted on samples of
glass that have up to 100000 pounds per
square inch tensile strength. This is amaz-
ing when it is realized that the highest mea-
sured tensile strength for steel wire is about
100000 pounds per square inch. Moreover,
glass never has been known to fail in COM
preston. Glass of this nature, not yet avail
able, could be used as structural material.
Produced commercially, it could be put to
dozens Of uses as substitutes for materials
used today.
Before this can happen, manufacturers
must learn how to control its structure.
Once they gain this knowledge, glass houses
that won't succumb to stones and cities en-
closed by glass as protection from the wea-
theirs vagaries may be possible.

"Uncle Konrad," as Chan
cellor Adenauer is affection
ately called by a number OF
top officials in Washington,
carries weight with American
policymakers, who are i'm
pressed by his wisdom and
careful approaches to both the
difficult problems of his IA
therland and global diplo-
matte strategy.
During his recent converse
tions with President EiSen-
hover and Secretary Dulles. he
is said to have pointed out
that world problems have be-
come so interviewer that it
would be of little use to find a
solution to the European ten
sion without at the same time
dealing adequately with Ash
attic problems.
Mr.. Adenauer was by no
means in favor of an American
surrender in Asia under some
sugar-coated formula as our
British and French allies may
wish us to do. He is reported
to have expressed his belief
that a temporary easing OF
the European tension may give
the Communists the needed
strength to improve further
their position in the Far East
and force the United States
and the free peoples in Asia to
yield in that area.
According to highly placed
Washington observers, Mr..
Adenauer intimated that Asia
and Europe form a single in
terlinking front and a Commu-
mist victory in one area will
seriously affect the other. This
thought has been presented
to the administration on a
number of occasions by people
with lesser prestige than the
German statesman. For in

What this meeting should

agree upon the scope OF the

methods by which agreements
could eventually emerge. They
would plan the outline of the

Adenouer Takes Realistic View

from moving his forces from
a dormant to an active front.
Chancellor Adenauer did not.
of course, venture an opinion
on what we should do about
Nationalist China. the recog-
milton of Peiping or its admis-
sion to the United Nations.
These are all alien matters to
him and it is doubtful that
he had given them much
thought. His principal prem
Use was that the world must not
make the major mistake Of
agreeing to some vague and
tricky Soviet devices of relax
ing the tension in Europe while
the Asiatic situation remains
as it is today. Such a solu-
ton would give the men in
the Kremlin the opportunity
to support the Communist on
ward march in the Far East
without our obtaining some
positive advantages across the
Atlantic.
Mr.. Eisenhower and Mr..
Dulles have stated that the
Geneva Conference will not
deal with Far Eastern affairs
which, from their point Of
view, have nothing to do with
the problems on hand in Eu-
rope. In this they will find
themselves in conflict with the
views not only of our British
and French allies, who insist
that the Chinese Peoples Re-
public is the effective govern
ment of China and should be
recognized by us, but also with
the sound views of the German
Chancellor.
Mr.. Adenauer does not offer
any solution for the Far East.
He merely points out that Asia
is as important as Europe If
a genuine relaxation Of ten
sion is to take place. Whether
we are willing to deal with that
problem from a position Of
strength, as we intend to do
in Europe, or through a yield
ing policy, is up for our de-

The Soviet note accepting
the Western invitation to a
conference in Geneva on July
Is confines it's view of the pur-
pose of the conference to the
'lessening of international
tension" and "the strengthen
ing of mutual confidence" and
protests only the time limit
proposed by the West.
The statement by the Soviet
News Agency. Tass. that ac-
companied the note, is. in the
main, a rebuttal to recent
statements by Mr.. Dulles, who
was quoted as intending to
bring up at the conference the
activities of international
communism and the problem
of the countries OF Eastern
Europe. These are rejected by
Tass as topics of discussion
which, the statement says,
should confine themselves to
reduction of national arma7
mentS, prohibition of atomic
weapons, the establishing of a
system of collective security in
Europe. the safeguarding of
peace and security in Asia, and
the restoration of the legiti-
mate rights of Red China in

the four heads of state "at the

Thus far there is no for

that nature will have to take

ready it is announced that in

nothing is to be decided on the
major issues except the man
ner in which these issues are
to be tackled thereafter. Shall
it be by the establishment Of
an agenda of subjects with
special meetings of commits
sions to consider the pro and
con? Shall the United Nations
be asked to take up some of
the problems?
Certainly the four-power

without the source of military
strength which this country has
provided since the cold war

Their purpose Extensively.
while smokescreened by peace

their power over Germany and
Japan. whose industrial resources
could swing the military balance
respectively in Europe and Asia.
These two purposes coincide
In official thinking here most
emphasis is now placed upon the
defensive purpose which-z-though
the Russians may conceive it to
be some years away-is the one
to be realized first if their STRAIT
egy is to be successful at all.
Neutrality for Germany and
Japan fits in with such a scheme
in both instances. In Europe
the Soviets can try to lull French
fears of a revived German mill
tary machine with neutrality
arguments. In both Europe and
the Far East the Soviets can hold

Meanwhile the Soviets are los
ing no time in putting their
strategy into effect. Through
talks of neutrality they appar-

that differences over neutrality
may divide the allies they serve
the purpose of dissension.

it would create a condition o1
