The assurances of Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles that the
u. S. will not shoot its way through
the Suez Canal are reminiscent of
some earlier and now historic re-
marks of other leaders. In 1910, the
late Franklin Delano Roosevelt as
sured the voters that american
boys will not fight on foreign soir'
In a matter of days, his Republican
opponent, Wendell Wilkie, echoed
this pledge. In 1916, Woodrow Will

president to leave his country dur

The Dulles remark appears to
mean that if Egypt objects to ad-
mitting u. S. vessel to the canal
under the new users association
scheme, that vessel is to proceed
back through the length of the
Mediterranean and around the con-
tinent of Africa to it eastern des-
tination. Further, Mr.. Dulles made
it quite plain that the u. S. would
help the shippers, of other nations
to pay the added costs of the
longer voyage.

WELL-INTENTIONED-BUT!


WELL-INTENTIONED BUT!
< Once again drive is underway to bring
about revision of the federal wage and hour
law. One goal is to raise the minimum wage
again. Another is to extend this wage to
certain service enterprises, retailing being
one, which are and have been exempt ever
since the act was first passed.
An arbitrary raise in the wage would be
an invitation to more imitation. 1t would
lead to demands for wage boosts all along
the line, for workers in more skilled and
responsible jobs would naturally want to
maintain their traditional differentials in
the pay scales. 1t is likely that the minimum
wage group would soon find they were no
better off than beforehand very possibly
would be worse off.
Blanket extension of coverage to the
presently excluded groups would be another
blow TO states rights. 1t would ignore the
plain fact that retailing and other service
functions are 100 per cent local in nature.
Whether a store is one-man operation or
part of big chain, it must compete on the,
local level, meet local needS-and adapt it
self to local costs and other conditions which
vary greatly throughout the country.
Finally, these proposed changes would
hurt those they are designed-to help by de-
priving them of opportunity. Retailers and
others would be forced to pare marginal
employment to the limit-the service rem
dered would not be worth the wage cost.
Then the inexperienced would have a dimin-
shed chance of learning the skills that would
qualify them for better jobs.

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR LUCK
We Americans are lucky people, so
lucky that we take our miracles for granted.
We have grown used to the fact that we can
bridge time and distance with the twist Of
the dial, that we can push buttons to control
light and darkness, heat and cold. We no
longer marvel that we can swallow few
pills. and take few simple injections, and
thus Danish much of the pain and sickness
that has been mankind's lot since the world
began.
It's dangerous attitude, this compla-
cency of ours, if it leads us to neglect the
great benefits with which modern science has
enriched our lives. Right now millions of
Americans are facing just that danger be-
cause they have failed to use the latest medi-
cal miracle, the Salk Polio Vaccine.
The season of greatest polio danger is
upon us and many needless victims have
already paid the price of neglect. But many
more such tragedies can be prevented If
everyone men, women and children, will
avail themselves of this cheap and easy in
surance against the crippling disaster Mil
lions of dollars and seventeen long, hard
years of painstaking research went into this
discovery. More than 100000 people were
cruelty stricken while scientists sought the
weapon which provides protection against
raralytic polio. Now the weapon is known,
The vaccine is available to all. 1t will be
ironic and tragic if thousands more are
stricken while the vaccine lies idle In the

JOBS AND CAPITAL INVESTMENT

No subject is more frequently discussed
than the federal income tax. Yet apparently,
a good many people still don't realize just
how deeply this tax cuts into our incomes.
The tax begins at 20 per cent, on the first
$4,000 of taxable income. Then it progresses
upward, reaching a top figure of 81 per
cent.
A short time ago the National Associa-
tion of Manufacturers offered documented
plan for tax reform. Over a five-year per-
iod the tax rates in all brackets would be
gradually reduced. At the end of that period
the maximum rate would be 35 per cent.
poll was taken to find out what people
thought Of the plan. Approval was given
by the majority. And many of those polled
expressed amazement that the tax rate went
as high as 35 per cent. When told that it
nows goes far higher, to 81 per cent, they
"could hardly believe it."
The peak tax rates are paid by rela-
lively small number Of people with big in
comes. But that doesn't mean that the rest
argues, and tellingly, that the main reason
why tax relief is needed is to make more
money available for industrial investment
and expansion--which is an absolute neces-
sity if jobs are to be created for the 100000
additional workers who enter the labor force
each year. Tax rates which take as much as
nine cents out of each ten cents man earns
certainly don't encourage this kind of in
vestment.
1t will be the many, not just the few,
who will gain the most from tax relief-if
and Wlien6sY get 1T. 80
