Restoring Business Confidence

2. Stop asking for the cleo
ton of more such liberals"
who want the Government to
take over and run the coun-
try.
8. Stop the flow Of COB
bledygook on "guidelines" for
wage and price increases. II
prices or wages are to be reg
ulated by the Government.
it's better to set UP a wage
price board under Federal
law.
4. Stop using the antitrust
laws to haraSs business, and
start getting laws that will
do away with monopolistic
power exercised by either big
unioniSrn or big business.
5. Stop interfering with
the operations Of American
businesses in Europe which
are bringing back hundreds
Of millions Of dollars a year
in tax revenue, and stop tell
ing them they cannot use
their earnings for reinvest-
ment. Competing businesses
owned by the British and
other Europeans are per-
mitted to do so by their
respective governments.
6. Stop soaring the promo
tiers of free enterprise. Make
them feel they have a future
and that investors have a
better-than-even chance of
getting their money back at
q profit If they now lay long
range plans based on the
natural growth Of Americas
population and the inevitable
triumphs that efficiency can
bring in a self-stabilizing
economy.
There is nothing wrong
with the economic situation
currently that can't be cor
rected by a change in BUSH
ness psychology - brought
about by a conservative
minded President and q con-
Servative-minded Congress,
elected in November. For
conservatism today primarily
means to conserve the free
enterprise system as against
those who would undermine
it and perhaps unwittingly
destroy it.

Europe. How is it, they want
to ascertain, that in 10 years
free Europe, despite the
unprecedented devaStations
Of the last war, is in a better
condition than the United
States?
European financial and
economic planners do not
conceal their surprise that
Americans are crossing the
Atlantic to learn from them.
American financiers, eco
nomic planners and engineers
have earned the reputation
Of being the greatest in the
world. Their record has been
unique in history. In less
than 100 years they have
transformed a fertile country,
rich in raw materials, into
the greatest industrial and
financial power in the world.
Europe with its old civili-
cation and unQuestionable
enterprise has looked up to
America and tried to initiate

has happened to the success

to the sturdiness of the
American individual but also

industrial and financia
planners.
Now. II years after our
greatest military victories, we
are asking the Europeans to
show us how to get out Of our
predicament.
Germany, despite It's amaZ-

the part Of our economic and

Gen. de Gaulle assumed pow
er in 1858, France was on the
verge of economic and moral
bankruptcy. Its currency was
practically worthless. Its gold
and hard currency reserves
amounted in 1857 to less than
$3.50 million. The national

the country.
Everybody who could afford
it was stashing gold away.
Politicianism was rampant,
and governments ch ange
every few months with more
or less the same faces emery

the Grand Chariot" came
into the picture. Although he
was brought to power by a
coup of the military, he was
warmly embraced by the peo-
pie. The plebiScites which
have been held since 1858
prove this. In less than five
years, France has become not
only the foremost political
power in Europe but also is
in a neck-and-neck race with
Western Germany in as far
as industrial growth and
power are concerned. Her
gold reserves have risen to
SIS billion, while ours are be-
coming dangerously depleted.

can learn a good deal from
studying the French mir

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Miracle of Europe and France

After a short honeymoon,
France was beset by strikes
Of all kindS-farmers who
did not get sufficient support
from the government; fac
tory workers. railway men,
all walked out at different
periods. Paris was without
electricity, gas and trans
portation for hours or days;
railroads did not function
for periods Of time: customs
officers abandoned their
posts, and airplanes did not
take off. In short, all the
methods Of the labor unions
and these included the
nom communist organiza-
tions-were applied to induce
the government to yield. To
outsiders it appeared that
Gen. de Gaulle's government
Of specialists and techni-
clans would not be able to
stand the gaff. The con-
sensus of observers was it
would have to give in or quit.
Gen. de Gaulle did neither.
Although he realized that
wages had not kept pace
with the cost Of living. he
held firm in his conviction
that national interests must
take precedence over re-
gional or group interests.
Relying on strong patriotism,
he stumped the country and
led the crowds in his cracked
voice in the singing of the
MarSeillaiSe. He re-indoc-
trinated them in the Rean-
ing Of the word "patrie."
The miracle" Of France
has been hard work, q pride
in nation, and a careful huS-
banding Of her relatively
small resources. Can our
administration follow this
recipe? Can 1t cut down
vast foreign commitments
and abandon gigantic plans
for social engineering? From
this distance 1t seems doubt
full.

Somehow the shoe sinners
Of Japan have the most in
teresting faces seen in the

older men or women. Their
faces are without exception
reflections of a struggle for
survival. They are marked
faces, beautiful with lean
lines and shrewd, appraising
eyes. Even the ugly ones,
lacking teeth, or those deeply
wrinkled, are worth looking
at. The women seem to have
the best spirit. Even the old
ones have q sort Of fey, street

They sit. japanese style,

Spread out about them is all
the paraphernalia Of their
trade. There are a dozen
boxes and bottles Of polish.
Their places usually are near
some office building or near
the movie houses where the
traffic is the most dense.
They do not depend merely
on passersby. People who
work in nearby shops and
offices bring shoes to be
cleaned. These pieces Of
trade sit in neat rows, the
cleaned ones on one side, the
dirty ones on the other. The
old women avoid the look of
crones. They have a leer-
ing grin In which are all the
wisdom and cynicism Of the
streets. In q city Of many
millions they are undefeated.
AL about them surge the
crowds. The scene seems
artificial to a WeSterner.
There are old women and

cotton ones for summer.
These are usually of a con-
sentative blue and white pat

Six Moves to Improve Psychology
Offered as Tox-Cut Alternatives

Ia gain Of only $4,000. or
a rise of about $4,000 in
net profits-and he will
quickly choose the larger
sum. How could he get that
extra $4,000? II business
conditions improved and his
sales rose so that his profits
were SIS million a year, he
would have an additional net
after taxes Of $40, 900 with
out any change whatsoever
in tax rates.
Increased volume Of sales,
therefore, is q much more
important factor than a tax
cut. For the latter could con-
ceivably diminish public con-
fidence because Of the big
Treasury deficit that would
be incurred. It could bring
an array of new and perhaps
more acute problems as the
finances Of the United States
come under the sharp scru-
tiny Of the outside world,
especially since the dollar Is
in serious trouble anyway.
What, then, is the alterna-
tive If there isn't to be a
general tax cut2 The answer
is for the Kennedy admins
tration and factional groups
in Congress to stop doing the
things that have undermined
confidence and to give some
assurance that such q rever-
sal would not be temporary
but permanent. What are
some Of the things that need
to be done? Here are a few:
l. Stop tampering with the
normal and natural processes
Of the free-enterprise system
and leave it to Moscow to
argue for government owner

private incentive as q way of
life. Recent speeches by So
called liberal" Democrats

ment ownership Of commu-
nications projects in the air.

The spectacle Of a Presi-
dent Of the United States
watching over the country's
business mechanism as If it
were q sick patient. and
waiting for the opportune
moment to administer or
withhold an economic hypo-
dermic. Is psychologically at
least. q strange one. It could
prolong rather than cure the
illness.
For the argument about
whether to ask Congress to
grant q tax cut now or next
January ignores the realities.
The theory back Of q tax re-
duction is that the money
saved by the taxpayer would
be used to spur spending.
But the truth is that people
in the aggregate have plenty
Of money today which they
could spend If they weren't
Scared-lotS Of it In saw
ings banks and lots Of it in
surpluses in corporations.
The real trouble is q wide
spread fear that savings win
be depleted and cash &C
foundations drained if busi-
ness gets worse and If what's
ailing business isn't soon
remedied.
The Nation doesn't really
need q general tax cut. either
for individuals or corpora
tons, though there are some
glazing inequities that should
be promptly removed.
A business making 81 mil
lion q year today pays the
Treasury $4,000 in taxes
and retains $780, 900. If, by
the cut in tax rates now be-
ing suggested for corpora
tons, the rate was to 60 from
50 per cent to 48 per cent, it
would mean that the same
business would retain $780,
600, and the Government
would get $480.000. This
represents a net gain for the
above business Of exactly
$4,000. Ask any businessman
