he added that if they can mark 125

The term "merit" pay, he agreed,

ultimately and in the long
run these monies will be COM
ing back. But how long a
run?"
The President is saying,
in effect, that America can
not wait. But what MIR.
Kennedy evidently doesn't
realize is that so vital a
problem cannot be solved by
short-run measures, either.
Many American companies
operating abroad are sending
back to this country today
large sums in dividends to
be taxed. They are also
spending in America money
for materials or parts to be
proceSSed in their factories
abroad. All together. the
total often exceeds the
amount of capital actually
sent abroad. Why stop such
a trend and make matters
worse?
The President, in the sec
ond instance. is yielding to
expediency rather than ad-
herring to principles of fair
ness in taxation when he
insists that taX-depreciation
allowances must not be ma
terially changed. He comedies
that the idea itself is good
but nevertheless says:
so that we're not unSym-
pathetic, and l can think of
very few tax changes that
would be more useful to the
country in stimulating en-
ployment and keeping us
competitive particularly
with Western Europe. And
the only reason we have not
gone further in it, and the
only reason we have limited
ourselves to the proposal
which is now before the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee, is because we do not
have the available revenue
to provide for a tax reduction
this year"
Yet a sensible tax policy
on depreciation allowances
would wipe out deficits and
bring surpluses to the United
States Treasury. That's why
businessmen have come to
feel that politically-minded
administrations fail really to
understand what makes the
wheels go around, what makes
the profits that in turn pile
up the revenues to balance
the budget, and-most i'm
portant of all-What creates
the Jobs that steadily reduce
unemployment and bring
prosperity to the Nation.

in taxation, but we need the
money"
This has been repeated so
often that it has become
commonplace. Indeed, Presi-
dent Kennedy in his speech
on Wednesday twice fell vic
tim to the same sort of ad-
vice from his own staff. He
was talking, first, about his
request that Congress re-
move what he calls an "arti-
ficial tax preference for
American investment in high
ly developed countries with
no capital shortage and the
unjustifiable tax avoidance
loopholeS available to those
Americans investing in So
called 'taX-haven' nations"
Now. nobody but a small
number of beneficiaries OBJ
jects to legislation that will
remove the "tax-haven" de-
vices which are merely get
rich-quick schemes for indi-
viduals. But there is a de-
cided objection here to the
Governments telling bust
neSSmen they must stop COM
peting inside France, inside
Germany, inside Britain and
inside other countries that
are highly developed, and in
stead must turn their atten-
ton to investments in the
Congo or in those Castro
like countries where the
United States doesn't give
10 cents worth of protection
when billions of dollars in
American-owned plants and
property are being confis-
Gated.
If American companies are

Market area for the goods

handicaps as against their
European competitors. Yet
Mr.. Kennedy says:

free flow of capital-but we
also want to make sure that

DAVID LAWRENCE

While many members of
the National Association of
Manufacturers may not have
agreed with all that Presi-
dent Kennedy said in his
speech to them in New York
on Wednesday, they would
have to agree that he stated
clearly and comprehensively
the essentials of his new
program for international
trade.
FrankneSS and fortnight
ness of statement were never
more necessary, and II is to
be hoped that this will en-
courage equal candor and
cogency of expression by
businessmen.
For, if America is to pros
per, if world trade is to in
crease. and if the Western
countries are to succeed in
their attempts to improve
progressively the position of
both labor and industry. then
it is important to recognize
elementary principles - the
things that make the wheels
go around, the things that
make a profit or loss, and
the things that bring in rev.
enues to help the Federal
Government balance its
budget.
Mr.. Kennedy uttered a
basic truth in a few sentences
that told more of what the
problem really is than was
revealed in all the rest of
the $500 words of his speech,
when he said:
To put 1t on its most
narrow basis, we are, tn e
national Government and
know. a rather unpopular
partner in every one of your
businesses. Our revenues
come from you. When you
are making profit, then we
are able to meet our bills.
When you fail. then we fail"
Truer words were never
spoken in public affairs. but
at the same time no princi-
pie has been more consist
emily ignored or violated in
the last half-century by Dem
ocratic administrations and,
to some extent now and then.
by Republican administra-
tions. The position of the
Government as told again
and again to the taxpayer is
something like this:
I'VE know it's unjust. we
know it's inequitable, we know
it's unfair to apply this rule
