AN IMPORTANT INQUIRY The people of the United States should be interested in the investigation of defense production announced by Senator Burnet R. Maybank; of South Carolina, and designed to find out if tax concessions, designed to advance the nation’s indus- trial mobilization, have been abused. Senator Maybank points out that, un- der the defense production act, accelerat- ed depreciation allowances on plant ex- pansion permit charge-offs over a_five- year period, This compares with a normal spread of fifteen to twenty years. Up to, the present time, certifications have been granted, making concessions on $3,500,000,000 but applications nave been received for an additional $8,000,- 000,000 in tax concessions. During the whole of World War II, when similar con- cessions were made, only $7,000,000,000 of tax incentives was granted. The South Carolina Senator the investigations will include every gov- ernmental agency: that has anything to do with certification of such tax incen- tives. This will involve at least fifty agen- ¢ He wants to find out if the certifica- tions are being confined to truly defense production. Asked if he was fearful that non-defense industry was getting tax benefits-designed only for those contribut« ing to the defense efforts, Senator May- bank replied: “I don’t feer it: I saw it. Was it neces- sary to give concessions for the manufac- ture of railroad cars, cotton gins and ce- ment factories?” Not every American understands the immense benefit that manufacturers and industrialists receive through the certifi- cate granting them the right to depreciate their expenses in five years. This means that they will be charged off against the extra profits expected from the war boom and, in essence, may be equivalent to pay- ing for.the facility out of the tax exemp- tion granted. For éxamiple, if a company invests $1,000,000'in a plant, certified to be for the defensé effort, the plant can be charg~ ed off at the rate of $200,000 a year. This s that means, if the company makes a_ pro the $200,000 will be deducted before tax- es are paid.” Without the exemption, the taxes of the-company would be consider- ably increased because the new plant would have to be charged off in a period of fifteen or twenty years. We thoroughly commend Senator Maybank for his interest in this problem. Certainly, there is little doubt but that the government is, in a large degree, fi. nancing the construction of these plants and facilities which are in defense work. Up North, 60 years ago, the general run of people thought that Key West, be- cause of its widely advertised Havana cigars, was part of Cuba. Now comes a man, right here in Florida, who asked At- torney General Ervin if Monroe county has a government. Ervin replied, “Not on- ly a govert.inent (125 years old) but also excellent turtle steaks and key lime pié” in the e@unty seat in Key West | INQUIRIES CONSUME SOLONS* TIME The revelations uncovered by the Senate Crime Investigating Committee suggest that it should continue its activi- ties but the question arises as to the pro- longed application of senatorial time and energy on such an investigation. The Senators, who have traveled around the nation holding investigations in certain key cities, have been compelled to forego much of the usual busine. of being Senators. If the inquiry continues and becomes more extended, it is doubt- ful if they will have time to do much more than keep up with the record being made. The suggestion is that a special com- mission be appointed to continue the work may solve the dilemna. Nevertheless, Sen« ator Alexander Wiley, of Wisconsin, does, not want Congress to surrender inves- tigative power to a crime commission. He thinks that FBI-trained personnel should be assigned to the committee, if it is con. tinued. This may be a solution to the’ present problem but the number of commissions, investigating boards and special commit- tees appointed by Congress-in recent relieve the Members of Congress from such duties. There would be missing, of course, the publicity that follows the work of these special congressional badies, but, | after all, publicity is not the main objec. tive in mind.
