Russia And "FulI Employment"
President Kennedy cannot. or
at least will not, go to Russia to
seek disarmament while there is a
large amount of unemployment in
the United States. To make any
satisfactory deal with Russia to
reduce the "cold war;" the Presi-
dent needs to have full employment
here at home. Yes, we should act
ually have a shortage of workers
in order that those workers then
discharged by plants now making
missiles, rockets. and other wea-
mons will be able quickly to get
jobs in peace industries.
Some of President Kennedy's
suggestions will help the unem-
ployment situation in a small way,
but his ideas will not come near
providing full employment" Only
advertising natural or subsidiz-
ed will accomplish this. Sub
sidizing advertising to reduce un-
employment Is something which
would like personally to help with,
Secretary of Defense Mcnamara
should Immediately operate a new
division to study this problem

USE FOR SURPRISES

The Kennedy administration seems to
have taken a firm hold on the idea that the
Over-abundance of food produced by Ameri-
can farmers ought to be put to better use.
The idea itself is by no means new, but an
inclination to put the idea to work in va
riety of ways is more evident now.
On the whole, this seems to be a good
thing. Certainly more diligent and varied
approach to the problems of using up our
surpluses in ways not detrimental to the
national interest is worth trying.
The most striking move thus far has
been the Presidents order to establish
''pilot" food stamp program in a number of
economically depressed areas. This follow
ed previous orders to add more protein foods
to those being distributed to needy families.
The food-for-peace administrator, George
McGovern, has directed that vegetable oils
be provided for shipment abroad by private
charitable groups. An increase in the
amount of food being sent to the Congo has
been ordered.
There also is encouraging evidence, how
ever, that the administration will not be in
discriminate in its use of surplus food
stocks. Mr.. Kennedy has baked at sending
food to alleviate mainland China's distress
until the Peiping government calls halt to
its politically-motivated food exports. All
in all. there is reason to hope for improved
and more imaginative-ma of
food surpluses

TWO BILLION DOLLAR STAKE


TWO BILLION DOLLAR STAKE
How would you feel if you read some
morning in your newspaper that someone
had absconded with over 81 billion of gov
ernment tax revenues and that emergency
tax increases were to be levied against you
and all other taxpayers to make up the loss?
Your emotions would run the gamut from
amused disbelief to suspicion and anger.
Of course, nothing as dramatic as the
disappearance of 50 billion is likely to hap
pen-not overnight that is. However, if the
long-term program of public ownership ad-
vocates to nationalize the electric industry
should ever succeed, billions of dollars of
tax revenue now paid by investor-owned
electric companies to all units of govern
ment, will be wiped off the books as clean
as if the money had been removed from pub
lie treasures in the night
1t is estimated that taxpaying electric
companies will have total tax bill of ap-
proximately S2.35 billion for the year 1860.
These tax payments to every level of gov
erDment help strengthen national defense,
support schools and other essential services.
During 1860 investor-owned electric COM
panies paid 24.1 cents out of each dollar of
revenue to the tax collectors. Customers of
government-owned taxpayer-financed COM
mercial power agencies contributed" 3h
cents out of each dollar Of revenue. They
are exempt from tax laws that apply to all
private citizens and businesses. Every time
public power project displaces taxpayer
development a source of tax revenue van
ishes-a nick in the So billion stake we all
have as taxpayers in the investor-owned
electric industry.
WHO is THE "OTHER FELLOW'.?,
n~.o =
modern, highly-specialized industrial society
in which we live is the tendency of groups
in differing economic activities to blame the
other fellow for cost increases. Initiation and
depreciating currency aggravate the situa-
ton. good example is the marketing
spread" of farm products. This spread is
the difference between the price paid by the
consumer and the price the farmer receives.
In the case of meat animals, the farmers
largest cash crop, the spread is 33 cents out
of every dollar.
The widening spread of recent years i'm
the marketing of farm products is attribu-
table to number of factors: (1) added SER
vices for consumer; and (2) increased costs
of processing.
Consumers today expect TO buy meats in
different sizes and shapes, frozen and un-
frozen, sliced and plain, closely-trimmed
boneless or pre-cooked. There has been
great Improvement in the preparation, pro-
cessing and packaging of meat and meat
products to meet these demands for built
in maid services. These improvements rep
resent costly programs.
Infationary cost increases over which
meat packers have no control have also TAX
en- their toll Wage rates in the food indus
try rose ~ per cent between 1947 and 1858
Freight rates in the same period increased
