buoyed. Actual spending would
be boosted as the tax cuts take
place.
The tie between what the con-
sumner has in his pocket to
spend and what he spends is
indisputable. The willingness OF
businessmen to increase their
investments in new plants and
equipment when they get tax
relief has been dramatically il
lustrated by the way they are
raising their spending this year
in direct response to the incen-
tives given them in 1862 via
liberalized depreciation rules
and the tax credit.
Not at any time during the
20 months our economy has
been expanding have we been
in a boom. The upturn has sent
to all-time highs industrial
production particularly auto
output, retail sales, employ
ment, profits, paycheckS. But II
has not been powerful enough
to cut into our unemployment
rate. 1t has not been strong
enough to push prices out of
their long-lived stability.
Although most of the eco
nomic barometers are adjusted
for this season, the summer
doldrums do have psychology
cal influence.
Our economy cannot count on
a new burst of consumer spend
ing. Consumers have been the
heroes Of this advance, but they
cannot be expected to raise
their rate of spending much
unless they get tax reductions.
Our economy cannot count on
a new burst of spending by
Government. The pace OF rise
In this area is being curtailed.
Our economy can count In

YOUR MONEYS WORTH
Tax Reductions Called
As Important as Ever

We are now in the "iffy'
weeks when two developments
about which no one can be pos
tive today, will decide the de-
gree to which the business up
trend slackens this summer.
The economic upturn has now
entered its goth month. 1t has
just beaten the 28-month aver
age life of all peacetime up
turns since World War I. It's
duration is we'll ahead of the
26-month average Of all peace
time upturns of the last 100
years. There's still life in 1t.
It's inevitable, though, that
the pace of rise will slow down
in this July-September quarter
The question is to what extent,
and these are the two big ifs:
l. How much will users Of steel
draw down stocks they accumu-
lated in the months before the
non-strike steel settlement and
thereby force cuts In steel pro-
duction that will curb the up
swing? The experts believe that
the decline this year will be less
severe than that following the
1862 steel accord, but Iron Age
estimates that about 4 million
tons of steel must be squeezed
out of inventories before the
steel market returns to normal.
Steel magazine forecasts that
steel production this month will
be rs per cent under the June
total.
2. What will happen to the
tax reduction-reform bill now
that the civil rights crisis has
befuddled the outlook for all
legislation? If, after a prolonged
buildup. Congress fails to put
through a substantial tax cut
for corporations and individuals
effective in January, the blow
to confidence could be signifi-
ant. If, however, Congress pass

you are sure she will like.
