j For many years, and especially
I since World War 11, the United States
has exported much more than it has
imported. This surplus is what is fa- i
miliarly known as the “dollar gap.”
Actually the dollar gap represents our ;
economic surplus . with much of the ]
rest of the world, and in the same]
manner, it represents their deficit!
with us.
The dollar gap was at its height of,
$11.5 billion in the postwar year ofj
1947. From 1946 through 1949 the!
annual gap never fell below about!
$6 1 2 billion. One reason for this ex- ’
treme dollar gap in the immediate ’
post-war years was the wartime de-j
struction and disorganization in manyj
foreign countries which reduced the|
amount of goods available for export!
to us.

I’be philosophy of government upon!
which the northern element of the!
Democratic Party intends to cam-!
paign, both in the November Con -•

in Congressional debate on the now'
Atomic Energy Bill. |
This philosophy (branded socialistic,
by Congressional Conservatives) is
that the government must construct!
and operate production facilities to i
supnb men* the output of private en-j
terprise. This .is based upon the re-1
jected Full Employment Act of 1936. j
The controversy over the new
atomic energy legislation hinged has-1
ii-ally on two points (1) whether the !
Atomic Energy Commission should
have authority to build and operate
THE CEO WAN HERALD. EDENTON. N C„ THURSDAY. AUGUST 26, 1954.
Since the early post-war years,!
there has been a substantial reduc- 1
tion in the dollar gap. During 1953
i the gap amounted to about $4.7 bil- j
; lion, and if one subtracts military aid!
j of about $4.3 billion from this figure,
! the actual excess of commercial ex- '
| ports over imports would be only
j about S4OO million. It would seem
! logical to eliminate military aid from'
1 our export statistics since it repre
j sents loans and gifts to foreign coun-!
i tries for mutual defense and should
| not be considered a commercial export
; in the strict sense of the term.
Among the reasons for the narrow
ing of the dollar gap are the increase
i in production in Western Europe and
i the attempt by some foreign countries
to improve their international position
by imposing restrictions on imports
- from the United States.

, The bill, as originally approved by
the Senate, would have given the AEC
to build plants and would

that the phrase “insofar as practic
able” be deleted. The House finally
agreed to this modification.
With respect to patent ownership,
the Senate again refused to accept
the House provision favoring private
ownership and insisted that all atomic
patents be under compulsory licens
ing for at least five years. In order
to get an Atomic Energy Bill, the
House leaders finally agreed to this.
Friends of free enterprise in both
the House and Senate felt it was pref
erable to obtain legislation this ses
sion in view of the doubt over which
party may control Congress after
November.
This group also felt that, by con
ceding ground with respect to patent
ownership, it won a major victory in
prohibiting the AEC from engaging
in the construction of other than ex
perimental plants.
It also was this group’s opinion
that if authority for the AEC to con
struct, produce and sell power were
written into law such authority would
never be repealed. The experience
with TVA, which slowly developed in
to the nation’s largest power produc
er, served a vivid reminder of how
j government bureaucrats can expand
authority.
! The House managers made it clear
in the conference report that they
I agreed to the compulsory licensing of
j patents only because they were, as
sured that the patent problem would:
! be “fairly and fully studied at the
next session of Congress.”
Even before the bill reached the!
White House, the friends of public!
power also served notice at the Cap
itol that the fight to tighten govern
ment control of atomic power would
he renewed in the next session of
Congress.
The Tax Revision Act: The Presi
dent, in signing the new law, said it
“will benefit all Americans” and “will
help our economy expand and thus
add materially to the strength of our
nation.” In this connection it is in
teresting to note that since the first
federal income tax law was passed by
the Democrats in 1913 there have
been 15 tax increases. Democratic
Congresses voted 14 of the 15. In the
same period there have been 10 in
come tax reductions. Os this num
ber, Republican Congresses approved
7 and Democratic Congresses only 3.
It also is worth noting that in 1932,
the last year of the Hoover adminis-
I tration, fewer than two million por
i sons reported taxable returns. After
20 years of Democratic control there
were more thah 46 million persons
reporting taxable returns.

Set Record For Year
The Great Smoky Mountains Na

way, Which meet in Western North
Carolina, set a new attendance record
for July by drawing a combined total
!of 1,301,413 visitors —an increase of
94,680 over the total for July, 1953.
Figures announced by the National
Park Service show that 735,027 per
sons traveled over the Parkway in
July of this year and that 566,413
persons visited the Great Smokies
Park. For both attractions, this was
a sharp gain over the preceding
month as well as over the correspond
ing month of last year.
Wright Brothers National Mem
orial on the North Carolina coast was
visited by 48,652 visitors this July, or
19.7 per cent more than in July,
1953.
Attendance at North Carolina’s 15
State parks totaled 1,047,596 for the
first seven months of 1954, an in
crease of 348,189 over the correspond
ing period for 1953.
