A prompt, healthy tax cut,
said Henry Ford II last night,
"is the most urgently needed
measure to move our economy
UP permanently to a higher
rate of growth"
Without it, the country's
nagging problems of slow
growth rate and high unem-
ployment can only become
more Complicated" he added.
Speaking to a group of
Arkansas businessmen at Little
Rock, the automotive executive
and leading spokesman for big
businessmen called on Con-
gress to quickly resolve the
minor details Of the proposed
tax reduction legislation and
to put it into effect no later
than January /, 1854"
The only important thing,
he said, "is to get the cut APP
proved in this session of Con-
gress."
Mr.. Ford is co-chairman of
the Business Committee for
Tax Reduction in 1868, formed
three months ago to support
and promote the administra-
TONS $40 billion tax cut pro-
posal.
The Ways and Means Com
mittee is in the last stages of
preparing a final draft of the
legislation to be voted on by
the House.
Cites Inadequate Investment
In remarks prepared for de-
livery last night, Mr.. Ford
traced much of the Nations
economic problem over the
last six years to inadequate
levels Of business investment,
which he blamed, in part, on
high personal and corporate
taxes.

the future improve the rate
of business investment and
economic growth, we shall be
hard put to meet the need for

sector"
The Federal Government, "es-
pecially the Federal income tax
system" has been the main
cause Of the low level Of invest
ment and risk taking by bust
ness, he asserted.
Mr.. Ford said his group,
which has the backing Of more
than 1000 top businessmen, is
not supporting a tax cut as an
emergency device to head off
a recession" A recession, he
said, mo longer seems to be
around the next corner"
The group, however, does be-
lieve a substantial tax reduc-
ton sis the best way to elimi-
nate the problem of tagging
growth, tagging investment
and tagging employment that
have been with us for six
years." Mr.. Ford stated. Every
day that we delay puts off by
another day our hope of reach
ing the kind of economic per-
Torrance everyone wants." he
Effect on Business
No prudent businessman
would stake his plans on the
assumption of a future tax
cut, Mr.. Ford noted, but
added: Administration pro-
nouncements on the subject
have inevitably affected both
business thinking and the
stock market"
Indefinite deferment Of the
tax cut must obviously have a
negative impact on business
and investor confidence" he
said.
In addressing the Arkansas
State Chamber Of Commerce
and the Associated Industries
of Arkansas. Mr.. Ford also
called for stricter controls on
the Federal budget.
The best hope for a balanced
Federal budget Mr.. Ford con-
cluded, sis a combination OF
two policies a tax cut to slim
ulate the growth Of taxable in
come, and a strenuous effort to
control the rise in expendi-

Borrowing Reasons

Why have consumers been

record-smashing rate in recent
months and why do we now

What are the reasons we owe

lion in noninstalment debt
(single-payment loans, charge
accounts, service credit
While any teenager would say
people are borrowing to buy
cars" what else are we bor-
rowing for?
Household Finance Corp, one
of the largest small loan organ
izations in the world, with Of
fices in 872 United States cities
and all 10 Canadian provinces,
has broken down the 2 Million
plus loans totaling $1.1 billion
which it made in 1862 into
what for" and, at my request,
also has broken down its loans
for the first quarter of 1868
by income classes-$400 q
month or less, $401-$750, over
$3.50. Its loans are typical of
all consumer loans and these
are some Shockers in its find
ingS.
The top reason for consumer
borrowing is consolidation OF
unpaid bills" and this goes for
every income class. This was
the principal purpose of almost
80 per cent Of Household FL
nance's loans in 1862. 1t was
the key reason for almost 38
per cent of the loans made
to middle and upper-income
groups early in 1868.
The implication is clear that
these families were overloaded
with too many separate debts
on which they were paying too
much interest, sought a way
out via a consolidation loan"
at a lower total cost. It is not
a cheerful finding.
The second major reason is
the obvious one-borrowing to
buy or repair a car. This was
the reason for 1873 per cent of
HFC's 1852 loans. The Dor
rowing for autos is much
greater in the understood a
month income group than in
the over $750-a-month income
class.
Next in line on a overall ba-
sis came borrowing for: travel
expenses, medical, dental and
hospital bills; clothing assist
ance to relatives; home fur
niShings and appliances; taxes;
household repairs; miscella-
neous equipment; insurance;
moving expenses; going into
business for self; payments or
real estate loans; education;
fuel; rent; funeral expenses
a final miscellaneous.
A couple of shockers here
are how high up on the list Is
assistance to relatives" and
how far down on the list is
education" When broken
down into income classes
assistance to relatives" re-
mains way up as a reason for
borrowing by all groups, but
upper income groups far out
borrow all others for education.
1t could be that while at the
upper income levels a privately
