One of the most important
steps to be taken by this Con
gress is the enactment of a mu-
tual security assistance program
for the coming fiscal year. Presi-
dent Eisenhower has submitted
his recommendations to the Con
gress and they are now under
congressional study.
The mutual aid program is con-
troversial. There are many in
Congress, regardless of party la
bel, who do not agree with the
president on the necessity for
continued foreign aid. Then, there
are those who feel that the pro-
gram should be expanded beyond
its present scope. l feel that the
majority of the members of Con.
gress are in between these two
extremes.
would like to point out that
the major share of the funds re-
quested are earmarked for mill
tary assistance and defense sup

For example, today "A million
employers pay into social secur.
ity almost So billion, $2.85 millions
as the employers half of this
program. If present plans &c
through, by next year that will be
raised to over $3.5 billion.
These billions have to be tackled
onto the price of every loaf OF
bread, every pork chop.
Another example is fairly re-
cent habit of states and cities OF
assessing inventory taxes. Every
year, on a certain date, whole
salers and retailers must pay tax
on goods they have in stock.
AS these firms cannot be oper.
ating with empty floors during
this tax period, this tax cannot
be escaped. In some areas it is
estimated this tax alone raises
average family food costs 2 per
cent.
The billions given away to for
eign nations are also inevitably
reflected in the cost of food.
And 1t would be a super-hum.
an task to try and arrive at how
much is added to the price of
pork chops by all the clerical and
accounting labor that is necessar-
lily expended to collect these tax
es, make out reports.
Actually, the independent mer-
chant knows firsthand how grave
the farm problem is. His own
welfare, he knows, depends to a
large extent on the welfare of
the farmer. Thus, perhaps the
real solution to the farm problem
would be for the establishment of
cordial relations between the in
dependent operator in the food
business and he farmers. Be-
tween them they could exert sub.
stantial influence in getting that
problem licked. But of course,
bureaucrats would not like to see
such a relationship established.
1t is much easier to try and drive
a wedge between the two most
segments of the &c.
nomy.
