SCUTTLE AND RUN It has been estimated that “one dollars spent by_the government of unemployment will produce appt mately 500,000 jobs for one year at $ each. When the money is spent, nothing permanent has been added to purchasing | power, and industry and the people are | faced with a tax burden to repay the bil- | lion dollars with interest. One billion dol- lars invested gs risk capital will create the same 500,000 jobs in the year in which in- vested, but thereafter furnishes the tools for 200,000 permanent jobs at a $5,000 in- vestment per job. And those 200,000 | permanent jobs in industry, will Aupport another 100, 000 in service trate’! aha Other industries. It'Should bE apparent that anyepehicy of government which destroys.the forma- tion of risk capital, or the desire of people to take business risks, is extremely short- sighted. The greatest incentive to risk capital is reasonable taxation under solvent gov- ernment. Recent tax reductions were in- tended as an invitation to risk eapital dur- ing the reconversion period. But the plain fact is that they are a fake invitation. If taxes are to be successfully reduced, econ- omy in government must accompany tax cuts. Tax reductions, countered by con- tinued government borrowing, should de- ceive no one. Today we hear of plans for bigger and bigger government and lower and lower | taxes. One of the most respected observ- ers in America terms this type of action a scuttle and run” It not to the maximum activity of billion con- } risk | < policy. is ducive capital. ! A WHAT OF SMALL TOWNS? The metropolitan area of New Xork is worried by what the publicists eal) a crime wave and Mayor LaGuardia has ap: pealed to Washington to release from mili- tary service all former policemen of the great city. Now, here we have an illustration of how things work in the republic. Because of its size the great city wants its police- men favored but what about hundreds of small municipalities who have ex-policemen | in the armed services? Does anyone imagine, for example, that if Key West wished to get a former | policeman, or other official, released from service to meet a local need that there | would be any prospect of persuading mili- | tary authorities to act, or that local leaders | would be going to Washington with such a request? | The size of New York multiplies its problems but they are no greater, in rela- tive degree, than the same problems in hu dreds of small towns and cities. In fact, | the probability is that the metropolis is bet- ter prepared to meet an emergency than the smaller municipalitie: When you buy Christmas Seals you help the war against tuberculosis and thus humanity. 5 It may be heretical but we suspect that the world would get along about as well in the event that most of its “leaders” ~-were eliminated overnight. | progres in making the world safe for atomic | Vita Staal a long and unexplained vacation | diplomaijé world:!.

There | are hints Stalin has walked out on his for- mer allies, and will remain in retirement until they have something definite to offer for a renewal of peace negotiations. This means, of course, a program | h completely satisfies the Soviet gov- ernment, and one under which it will profit | to the fullest extent. According to this version, Stalin is not | acce puing| responsibility for the breakdown of\Allie d peace negotiations. His govern- ment has’ been represented. by, some ot its Younger diplomats, while he has assumed the role of adviser. » Presumably, if the impasse continues efinitely, he will step in.and take charge of a situation in which others have failed, with the object of increasing his stature at home. Meanwhile peace must wait. The man who waits for somebody else to do his work will wait to see his work undone.
