ization that would have Gre
ated a climate for European
reduction of agricultural lev
les. Instead, the adminiStra-
ton has decided to pay back
the Europeans by retaliation.
The chief present concern Is
to work out with the Euro
peanS an agreement on the
amount of damage done to
this country by loss of the
poultry markets. That
amount would govern the ex-
tent of American retaliation.
In that way, retaliation
would not beget counter-re-
taliation, and a protectionist
cycle.
BY their very nature, hold
ing operations are not pretty,
and it is tempting to decry
the CONSTANTS placed on
foreign policy by domestic
politics. Tempting, but not
realistic. For the world has
shrunk to the point where
foreign relations cast a long
shadow over the domestic life
of all nations and notably
the United States. Inevitably,
foreign policy has become a
principal staple of domestic
politics. And If 1t ever exist
ed, the day is long since
done when politics could stop
at the waters edge.

Tax Cut This Year Seems Sure

long range program to slim
ulate the economy. Plenty
of funds are already availa-
BILE for investment if a fair
margin of profit increases
should come into sight.
Business planning requires
a careful appraisal Of the fu-
ture trend. Even this very
month there are many COM
pany executives who are
trying to figure out what to
do about 1864 budgets. For
an expected decrease in cor
poration taxes next year Is
not the only factor. 1t is i'm
portant to appraise the out
look for 1865 as we'll as 1864
and judge on the basis Of
past experience whether the
stimulus furnished by the
revision of tax rates will be
more than a passing phenon1-
enon.
Not only must Federal tax
legislation be taken into &C
count but the rise In State
and local taxes. Some tax
payers will find the savings
made on Federal income tax
es offset to some extent by
increases in State and local
taxes and by a rise in the
prices of consumer products.
But, from the administra-
ton point of view, 1t is i'm
portant for the new tax bill
to be gotten through Con-
gress before next January, so
that businessmen can indeed
do some a 6vance planning
and so that the economic ef-
fects may be felt by the
country before the November
1864 Presidential election. If
the bill were to be postponed
till the January session of
CongreSS-as some opponents
will try to do this could
bring confusion in planning
and in computing current
taxes and cash flow" for
1864.
That's why the a m in
istration has given priority to
the tax measure over civil
rights" legislation. Negro
leaders are being told by the
administration that it's more
important to help create jobs
so racial discrimination can
be Jesse e d than 1t is to
plunge Congress into q long
filibuSter on "civil rig hts"
and cause the taX-revision
bill to be unduly delaye d.
From the administration
viewpoint, of course, this is
good logic on the political as
we'll as the economic side.

Mcnamara will presumably
try to block out a line of pol
icy to which the military can
subscribe. Thus committed,
the soldiers will be at least
somewhat constrained from
shipping at their Government.
BY so much, the President
will have neutralized the dam
ger of political attack.
A similar political caution
Is evident in the handling of
the Soviet bid to buy Ameri-
can wheat. Acceptance of the
Russian gambit is manifestly
in this country's interest. 1t
can be justified for its bene-
fetal effect on the balance of
payments alone. But fear of
being vulnerable to political
charges of trading with the
enemy has caused the White
House to move with circum-
Spection. Instead of swapping
up the Russian offer, the
President is allowing farm
interests in the Congress to
build up pressure for making
the wheat deal. And even if
the President finally bows to
the pressure, it is certain
that he will take out political
insurance by emphasizing
that the wheat deal is a one
shot operation. without gen.
eral significance for Ameri-
can trade with Russia.

coming into view the familiar
tidying-up process that. every

An important case in point
Is the So-called fact-finding
mission to South Wet Nam of
Defense Secretary McNa-

real backgroun of the

political.
At least some of the Amer

the usual journalistic chan

lists have been putting out
stories purporting to show
that the State Department,

been interfering with the

far the leaks are only skir-
mishes in a tug-of-war be-

over Wet Nam policy. But
trumped up and over-simpli-
fled, they could easily be-
come the basis for a political

Inere II be a tax cut begin
ming next January and an
i other the following year.
This is the outlook today, as
the House has passe the
measure involving an $11 bill
lion total reduction in taxes
in two years. While the Sen
ate may use up a few weeks
in committee hearings anG
debate, it may find prepon-
derant the reasons for enact
ing the new law this year in
stead of next year.
Opinions will differ as to
whether the country will be
benefited by passage of a
two-step $11 billion reduction
in taxes raising the Treasury
deficit to above So billion
next year and entailing
further deficits in the next
two or three years. But
whatever viewpoints may be
held about the wisdom of the
plan, the fact is that tax leg
iSlation now will produce an
immediate impact on the Ma
tional economy. Business is
already scrutinizing the mea-
sure and trying to guess the
resultS-the extent of the
shot in the arm" that may
be expected and what will
happen when the initial eff
fects wear off.
The Republicans in the
House tried to a tach an
a m e n d m en- t which would
make tax cuts contingent on
a reduction in budget expen-
ditureS. BY a margin of only
81 votes the amendment was
defeated. A change Of IA
votes would have put the
amendment across. Some ex-
pected support from South
ern conservatives was not
forthcoming. The reason is
that many members felt that
an opportunity to hold ex-
penses down would come any,
how with each appropria-
ton bill.
The big question at the
moment is what the tax cuts
will do to or for business.

upper and lower b brackets.

produce a plentiful supply of

scales have not been accom-
panied by an increase in pro-

The main argument made
by President K enn e dy for
the tax bill is that 1t will
stimulate consumer spending.
The experience of the 1905
shows that temporary rises
in consumption do not bring
prosperity or cure high
unemployment.
The administration realizes
that, for political purposes,
temporary prosperity can be
fruitful. Hence the pressure
to get the tax bill through
this autumn so 1t will begin
to take effect in January
1864. AS the taxpayer gets a
cut In the taxes wit h h e ! d

sumption is that he will go
happily to the polls in No

nately, the savings are rela-
lively small to the vast ma

cases to less than so cents a
