Office. 602 , 1411 A TAX ON INCENTIVE along Labor gone the British businessmen have with the inroads In general calmly, if not cheerfully Government has made on private business enterprise. A large majority of the people voted for the Laborites, gave a mandate for the policies now being pursued. The best that business can do is to string along and | hope the people will change their minds when another | general election comes oposal the business community has won a clear-cut victory. \That came when business groups persuaded Sir Stafford Cripps and his colieagues in the cabinet to abandon their proposed tax on advertising about half the typical British business concern’s ad- vertising subject to a tax of 50 to 60 per cent On one Laborite however Cripps was persuaded, by the showing of various business groups, that (1) the tax would be evaded on a large scale, and (2) that consumers need informa- tion about prices and availabilities of goods, and need this especially at present that there just is no practical way to distinguish be- tween types of advertising that are useful to the national economy and types that are not there may be two such classes of advertising impossible to draw a line between them equitably it is British businessmen agreed, as nart other taxes to produce the $40,000,000 ise have brought in. It is of some significance that they were willing of them, but were not willing to have that burden laid on advertising as such Their underly reason vertising is not only a legitimate production, a business expense, it also is one of the devices which preserve competition and help to make a competitive economy werk. To levy is clear enough. Ad- cost of a tax against it is to destroy one of the basic incentives of an economic system private initiative. And the Government, al- though formally committed to certain socialist policie: Labor is not so inimical to the traditional free economy of ; Britain as to strike this blow at the most clearly competitive element in that economy. of Com Moscow a e and T | sweep The Washingfon oo Merry-Go-Round | & Pran polituuro By DREW PEARSON { tind new victor Marshall | ereat encourager | cratic Western | big question is | enough?

It is certainly true, hewever, t the 2450000 bushel limit decreed by | Mr. Anderson is a material saving over the 8,584,000 bushels consumed last January and the 8,164,000 ! bushels used during the wild period in October before the voluntary shutdown took effect Now the principal concern is that the allocations be equitable. M son has rightly included in allocations all gr sed by distillers since the vol- | untary shutdown ended December 24. That is only fair to the public-spirited members of the industry who observed the request to continue the suspension | quring the last week of December; the difficulty is that some distiliers who ignored the request may already have exceeded their January allocation. That grain, of course, cannot be recaptured. citizenship rlin since waired, septus ed white- he munist Russ! renburger t-controlled city which was installed by | the Russians when they were sole cupiers of the c and which swept out of office when Berlin first postwar election on 20, 1946, [ -o o Russna Strengthens Airfield in Siles 2 WROCLAW, Poland—®—A liable source said Russian ."A(u in Lower Silesia are developing land expanding a new airfield at ‘As for the formula itself, it appears to favor old- | Br%e8, on “"‘" main : highyay jbe-Y line producers unduly.
