DAVID LAWRENCE tN
The Tax Cut Issue in Congress

Treasury would bring on an
imitation and impair the
dollars purchasing power.
Why. however, did the
Democrats accept that ar
gument inasmuch as since
New Deal days they have ar
gued the other way? The
reason is that the Southern
Democrats who are the
leaders in Congress today
don't think like New Dealers
and are concerned with a
sound and stable economy.
From a political point of
view, the Northern Demo-
crats-who will put UP a
fight for amendments to the
tax bill that comes up for
passage before June 30
win continue to try to make
political capital out of -the
Administrators position and
they will not be too much
bothered by what their
Southern conservative breth-
rem have done.
For, politically speaking,
the natural tactics Of the
Democrats in the North will
be to say on the stump in
the Forthcoming congress
sional campaign that the Re-
publicans are responsible for
the recession" and have
failed to provide tax relief
and more purchasing power.
The Republicans will make
their rebuttal with arguments
about the dangers of runaway
spending and imitation that
could diminish purchasing
power. especially for those
persons living on fixed in
comes.
The truth is everybody
knows the Treasury can't
stand any immediate cuts of
substantial size in tax reve-
nues, but the truth also is
that sooner or later a start
has to be made on an equi-
table revision of the tax
structure. There is no rea-
son why it shouldn't be be-
gun in the current session of
Congress and the way paved
for early action next year,
especially if business i'm
provement' by that time has
begun to be widely felt.

mostly on the ground that
any arrangement that sub
ordinates French sovereignty
to that Of an international
agency. even in a military ale
lance. is opposed to the fu.
ture he sees for France.
Without a doubt, If Gen.
de Gaulle is as confident q
nationalist as he has given
every evidence Of being,
he will avoid ENHANCEMENT
in international commit-
ments that may even remote
ly tend to diminish Frances
role as a Great Power q

ton that the general is de.
termined to translate into

Thus it would appear al
most inevitable that the De
Gaulle technique will be to
play both sides against each
other for the greater glory
Of France. In practice, Of
course. no such simple course
is at all possible. The Mos
COW leaders would never be
taken in by such q trans
parent device, except so far
as they we're able to make the
best use Of it.
But the Vests defensive
position in the cold war
might rule out any real
tough-mindedness toward a
French move to juggle the
issues. There are still power.
full influences in the free
world quite ready to run the
risk Of a rightist poker player
rather than the clear dan
gers of popular front" type
of democracy. The Kremlin
gambled on this tendency be-
fore World War. II, when its
leaders figured that Britain,
France and the United States
would rather have a Nazi like
Hitler in control than an un-
practicable democratic re-
gime. What will they do this
time, and where do the real
risks lie?

Gray FldnneIs and the Soft Sell

So almost aggreSsively
Nordic in looks is he that
you might take him, in pass
ing on the street, for a Min
nesota halfback of two de-
cadeS ago-a man still trim
in a blocky way and prob
ably. as the saying goes, a
whale of a golfer.
Unlike me st foreigners,
whose English usually comes
with a British accent, his is
more nearly American Eng
lish. So are his idioms. He
uses such a general American
expression as without any
kind of strings attached"
And occasionally there are
phrases Of such automatically
Republican connotation as
"the American way of life."
And what is the Russian
line that is going forward in
WaShington-and, to repeat,
is making progress?
1t Is that while the Rus
slams have one system and
the United States another
there is no reason why they
cannot get along fine.
1t is that the presence in
Russia of only one political
party is the highest express
sion of democracy, since 80
per cent-plus wish it So-and
don't. you, too, believe in
majority rule? And anyhow
with here a jab at France)
isn't it possible to have too
many parties?
Most of all the Russian line
is answering questions only
by asking another question.
When will there be a statisti-
cal report to the U. N. on the
number Of persons held in
slave labor? Why should there
be such a report when there
are no slave laborers in
Russia?
Are the Russians making
any effort to develop "clean"
bombs and thus at least to
limit their effect on nom
combatants? Now, really, isn't
the important thing just to
stop nuclear tests altogether?

Democrats Expected to Press Changes
Despite Leaders Stand for Stotus Quo

siderable interest In tax
legislation during July.
Just now, it is being asked,
why was the administration
able to ward of any opposi-
ton by the Democratic lead
ers Of the Senate and House
to the proposal that there be
no change in existing tax
rates on excuses and corpora
tons. and no tax cut in the
other categories? Why did
the Democrats go along with
the administrations plan?
The answer is that once the
line Is broken and a con-
cession is made, for instance,
in one article on the list, the
demand for similar treat
ment would come from all
other groups. The Congress-
man from Massachusetts,, for
instance. may not have as
many voters In the auto
mobile category as the Con-
gresham from Michigan,
but the Massachusetts, Repre-
sentative does have them in
the plants that manufacture
other articles on which a re-
duction in excise taxes is
being urged as a stimulus to
employment. So, finally it
came down to the simple
proposition that If the doors
were opened to one conces-
sion on excise taxes, it would
mean that there would have
to be concessions granted all
along the line.
The point was made, too,
in the conferences between
the administration spokes-
men and the leaders in Con-
gress, that with a $3-billion
deficit this fiscal year and a
deficit of more than So billion
anticipated for the next fiscal
year, it would be dangerous
futher to curtail Federal tax
receipts.
But what becomes of the
doctrine that tax reductions
would add to purchasing
power and that this would
help to restore employment?
The Administrations answer
is that a bigger deficit in the

any Russian spokesman in
Washington since the years
OF the great delusion. These,
OF course, were the late thir-
ties and early forties. Many
persisted then in the notion
that the Russians were really
democratic" and were per-
haps the worlds best hope
against Naziism.
Most Of these true believers
left their extraordinary dog
ma only when Hitler and
{ Stain made a common front
over the corpse of Poland
and over what they both
hoped would be the corpse of
Western Europe.
Much time has run since
then. The atomic-hydrogen
weapons have been spawned,
Many now argue that the
Soviet Union really wants
peace and not war, concord
and not conquest. This COR
respondent does not pretend
to know whether this is a
morally right or a MORALLY
wrong estimate. But the in
stinct and memories of this
one wholly inexpert person
keep saying Look Out"
At any rate, this is only
a report on what is going on
now in the soft-sell phase of
Russian diplomacy.
Mr.. MenShikov is, in ap-
pearance. a sunny world
away from the terrible gla-
cialness that so obviously lay
in such a man as v. M. Molo-
tov. And he is an open-faced
continent removed from the
dark. closed and sullenly
monosyllabic quality of an
Andrei Gromyko.
For Mr.. Menshikov is
fair, rudy, with grazing
hair sleekly combed back
above a buttoned-down shirt
and just such a dark maroon
tie as might be seen on any
middling-young executive in
a club in st. Louis.
