Dromotizing Idea of Private Giving

to would-be donors how easy it
is to give away a small portion
Of what one would really re-
tain after taxes and how much
Of the contribution would in
fact be paid by Uncle Sam.
Congress, of course, prob
ably wouldn't spend $500 mil
lion for the same purposes, for
example, that the Ford Foun-
dation designated. At present
there is raging a battle over
Federal aid to education, with
some protagonists insisting
that the Federal Government
should build school buildings
and provide educational facil-
tiles generally to supplement
t use provided by the several
States. and there are othen
groups which want Federal aid
confined to welfare OF auxil-
iary services such as transpor-
tation, lunch es and health
benefits.
Meanwhile, the Ford Foun-
dalton has cut through the
whole problem by deciding
what Congress wouldn't be able
to decide without a lot of con-
troversy
No private organization in
American history has ever be-
fore made such a large bequest
as the $500 million announced
the other day to be given to SIS
colleges and $500 hospitals.
But the American citizen
who is inclined to donate to
private charity has the same
right-he can make up his
own welfare program. The tax
laws are written so as to en-
courage philanthropy. The
Ford Foundation gifts serve to
dramatize the whole idea Of
private giving and. in a sense,
it is a challenge to the citi-
zenry to take care Of their own
institutions without relying on
the Federal Government to do
it all.

fords, Instead of Congress, Decided
. Where Their Money Should Go

It wasn't all Ford money,
but at least three-fourths of
the $500 million recently an
nounced as donated by the
Ford Foundation to hospitals
and colleges really would have
belonged to Uncle Sam If the
estate taxes had been applied.
Instead of letting Congress
decide how to spend the 1888
million which would have been
collected in taxes. the Ford
family exercised its legal right
to determine how the money
should be spent.
The estate-taX rates of the
United states Government and
of the government Of the
State of Michigan are about
1853 per cent at present. If
the Ford Foundation had not
been created, approximately
So billion-which is the esti-
mated present value of the
shares of stock held by the
Ford Foundation--would have
been subject to taxation. While
there would be some slight
diminution of the tax due to
marital deductions and divi-
sion of interests among mem
,bers of the. family. the ap-
proximate tax on the shares
bequeathed to the Ford Foun-
dalton would have been about
$2,308. 400. 900.
This means that the Ford
family would have had about
1891 800, 900 remaining out Of
the So billion after paying
the tax collectors. So the late
Henry Ford and his son Edsel
determined that 1t was much
better to give the whole So
billion to a chartible founda-
ton.
Actually the gift represented
80 per cent Of the Ford shares
outstanding. The remaining

mand is expected to insist that
we not only match the Soviet
promises but improve on them.
The Democrats also are ex-
pected to demand a new "give
away" policy in Asie with at
least as much largesse as IN
Europe. In this they will have
the support Of at least a por-
ton of the so-called left-of-
center Republicans who share
this point of view. And 1t Is
along these lines that the bat
tie on foreign affairs is ex-
pected to be fought.
Middle Of the road and right
wing Republicans definitely
ere opposed to an indiscrimi-
nate economic aid program.
They maintain that American
assistance to Asia must be de-
cided on d selective basis. The
needs Of our friends-and they
still form a substantial num-
Der on that continent-should
be satisfied with utmost speed.
But when some members Of
both parties who believe that
give-away policies will earn us
friends insist. for instance. that
we should appropriate some
thing like $3.50 billion to help
India. they are unrealistic.
Ever since India became an
independent republic we have
leaned backward to help her.
Whenever she was in difficult
ties, as two years ago when
there was a threatened fam
inc, we did not hesitate to
send her wheat and even paid
the transportation. We did
not expect India in return to
blindly follow our policies.
But we had the right to hope
that she would not give aid
and comfort to the Commu-
mist regimes in the USSR and
in China. These hopes were
in vain. Not once in, the pres
ent disturbed international
atmosphere, regardless Of how
just our position was. did the

The same thing applies to

Lenin talked about the neces-
sity Of an Asian detour."
This is happening now. But
to counter the Red efforts in
some very populated areas Of
that continent, 1t would be
foolish for US to rush to help
the Asians who are eager TO
accept highly questionable
economic assistance from Rus
STA and China. Our first task,
say the so-called rightwing
Republicans. is to strengthen
those who are rejecting the
outstretched Communist full
of poison ivy. Let those who
now lean on the USSR learn
their lesson the hard way. :
In the meantime we have

of October 81 through the
= Commodity Credit Corporation
is 900 million bushels in which
the Government invested $2.5
billion. Stocks of corn owned
by the Government total TOO
million bushels of which the
cost was $1.2 billion. while the
Government owns So million
bales of cotton which cost it
ST. billion. The Government
also owns SIT million in rice
and $l8 million in dried beans.
This is not the entire surplus.
The Commodity Credit Cor
poration holds other large
amounts on loan.
During the past year the
Government disposed Of SIT
billion in surplus agricultural
commodities by the various
means permitted under the law
which include barter and sale
as well as the charitable dis
hibution used this week. In
addition, to religious organiza-
tons which participate. there
is also CARE which has long
been in the field of distribut-
ing packages OF food that are
paid for by individual donors.
CARE expects, TO distribute 2
million packages containing 40
million pounds Of surplus farm
products for an estimated cost
of Sl2 million between October
/ and through the Christmas
season.
Still needed is grar1d-scale
distribution Of which our Gov
eminent should be capable of
devislng ways and means. An
other effort in this direction
was announced recently by
Senator capehart, Republican
Of Indiana. who is having q bill
drafted to set up an "Interna-
tional Food Community Fund"
and a board to administer 1t
and to distribute our surpluses.
It would be comparable to the
Community Chest funds ia

are to be worked out.
1t is a complicated problem.

IL per cent. which wasn't
given away, represents a size
able fortune by itself, too.
It is estimated by experts
that Government expenditures
for welfare purposes Fed
eral. State, and local-now are
at least nine times the amount
given voluntarily "for the same
purposes. which a generation
or two ago would have been
determined to lie wholly with
in the field of private char
ity'."
Any American can do in
principle what the Fords did.
The Federal income tax laws
permit up to 20 per cent to be
deducted from gross income Of
individuals for charitable con-
tributions and, if additional
dona tions are made to
churches, tax-exempt schools
and hospitals, the total exemp-
ton from taxes can go as high
as 80 per cent.
Thus, on a $4,000 income,
with a donation of $4,000, the
individual would, In effect.
give $4,000 of his own money,
while Uncle Sam would be con-
tributing $3,4o0 through a re-
duced tax.
Out of a $4,000 income, the
taxpayer could give $4,000.
with his own share being $1,000
and the Government really
contributing $4,000.
Out of a 100000 income.
there could be a $4,000 con-

payer would have to give only
$3.50, while the Government
would be putting up $24,l50
