C.. aa eeccnd-claaa matter. i LOOKING | AHEAD fir GEORGE S. BENSON ?k PutiicH-Mt'drnt CtlUft ? Suttp. Arktttu Employment First People who work in the field*, in mills, mines and shops, on railroads and in industry generally, are to be congratulated upon President Truman's choice of Fred M. Vin son, the new Secretary of the Treas ury of the United States. His under taking is enormous, delicate and vital. But it is my belief that no body else in government is quite as well qualified to handle the Job as Vinson. The new cabinet member knows taxes. Things he has said already prove that he is keenly aware of two things that are currently the most important facts about taxes. (1) High taxes are necessary, now and for some time to come. (2) Wrongly devised taxes in the United States can wreck the financial struc ture of the entire world in a few months. Dark Ages might visit the earth again. A Dependable Thing The "yankee dollar" is one of few known quantities left in the finan cial world. While this condition lasts, there is a way for weak and depleted countries to gain industrial and then financial strength. The dol lar will remain good so long as Uncle Sam keeps meeting his obli gations promptly, fulfilling prom ises and paying the interest on his stupendous national debt. Our debt is so big and America's moral obligations are so exacting that taxes must be high after the war, much higher than they have ever been in peaceful years before. Government has no way to get mon ey except by taxing its citizens. Con sequently the citizens to be prosperous. There must be full em ployment, plenty of Jobs at good wages?otherwise not enough taxes. Holding our Ground The world is relying on the sol vency of America, on the soundness of the dollar, and it all depends on Jobs. Mr. Vinson said: "Taxes should be levied in such a way that they have the least harmful effect on the expansion of business invest ment and the creation of Jobs bo cause productive employment is the source of . .. revenue which the gov ernment collects from taxes." The Secretary's eye was not on taxes alone. In a recently published report he made It clear that pro ductive employment is the foun dation of America's living standard (highest in the world), the source of all Income and the basis of pros perity for business and agricul ture. We may be assured that Vin son will always do his best to pre vent ruination of jobs by taxing busi ness to a standstill. A Rational Economy Here is a powerful and rational sentence from Vinson's pen: "The sooner uncertainties in the post-war tax structure are removed, the soon er business management will be inclined to make Arm commitments for expansion and the faster men can be put back to work following the wholesale cancellation of con tracts that will occur with the un conditional surrender of Japan." Persons who would like to see America in chaos, people who would like to see a dictator climb to power over America's wasted estates, may call the new Treasury head a friend of big business. He apparently is, to whatever extent such a friendship means Jobs for workers, prosperity on the farm, customers in the store and food on the table for Ameri ca's plain people. ?Behind??

Charles Whittier, 21, Aufusts, Me., smiles becanse War Bond funds have helped his recovery from a fractured tibia and flbia. An infantryman, he was airborne in a flider to the flfhtinf in the Rhine river area. Landing in a field under Nasi mortar and machine fun fire, he was hit instantly and then removed to an overseas hospital and finally to Halloran General Hospital at Staten Island, N. Y. He fared a long fight courageously, but most advanced medical care and equipment are mending his bones better than ever before was possible. While driving an Army tank at St. Vtth, Belgium, Pvt. John Chester, 25, ef Geneva, N. Y., suffered a broken leg. Enemy heavy Are knocked over the advancing vehicle and the driver has been under medical care ever since. Pvt. Chester urges Investment in Victory Bonds to help provide funds to equip hospitals, supply medicine and proper food for men wounded in action. Still suffering (ram multiple fracture of his ??< (eat, CpL Vincent Jaeianes, *9, New York City, says Americans most bay Victory Bonds to assure proper care tor the boys that were injured. Healing such wounds as Cpl. Jaeianes sustained when struck by a land mine while advancing with the eombat engineers hi the Ardennes Forest is a slow process. V. S.
