Weekly Devotional'

One of the greatest of the English
potters was Josiah Wedgwood, who
lived about a century or so ago. To
day his creations are quite rare, and
very costly.
An English nobleman once paid him
a visit at his factory, both to see him
and to study his methods. One of the
employees, a young lad about fifteen
years old, was assigned to accompany
the nobleman through the shop and
to explain to him the successive stens
in making fine pottery. The noble
man, by no means a Christian, was
quite coarse in his speech, and display
ed his vast vocabulary of obscene and
profane words to the boy as they
along together (as you know,
Jg -.here are some who seem to consider
liberal use of the common obscene
and profane terms to be a sign of
sophistication). At first the boy was
greatly shocked, but soon became ac
customed to the stream of vulgarity,
and after awhile even laughed at his
nasty gutter remarks. Mr. Wedg
wood followed them, hearing much of
the conversation, and was indignant at
the depraved language the nobleman
displayed before the boy.
When they arrived back at the of
fice, Wedgwood selected a beautiful
vase (it was beautiful enough to be
called a vahse), of his choicest pat
tern, and explained to the nobleman
the long and careful way in which it
had been made. The nobleman, charm
ed with the design and coloring of the
vase, reached out his hand to take it,
but just as he touched it the owner
let it fall to the floor, where it shat
tered. The visitor, unable to con
trol his temper, exclaimed, “I want
ed that one for myself, and now it is
ruined by your carelessness.”
“My Lord,” answered the old pot
ter, “there are things more precious

winter.
Early next year a situation must be
| faced involving a potential annual loss
,of $3 billion in revenue, with a $3 bil-j
'lion estimated deficit for 1955 already,
staring the Administration in the
face. On April 1, 1955, the 62 per
cent corporate tax rate is scheduled
to drop to 47 per cent ... a revenue
loss of $2 billion. On the same date,
lower excises on automotive products,
tobacco and alcohol are scheduled to
go into effect ... a further revenue
loss of about $1 billion.
Whether the corporate reduction
will go into effect is dependent on the
, budget situation . . . and there is ser
ious doubt that the rate will be low
ered unless unforeseen further sub
stantial budget cuts can be achieved.
' As to the excise reductions, Presi-I
dent Eisenhower has maintained that
| the $lO billion level of excise revenues
existing when he took office should be
! retained, although last winter he did
| acquiesce in a reduction in some rates
! amounting to a revenue less of about
$1 billion. At present it would appear
that the Administration will recom
mend the inclusion of more items in
federal excise tax coverage, and might
possibly propose a uniform broad-base
excise tax.
Since there is doubt that the $3
billion in tax reductions scheduled for
next April 1 can be effected, it is a
foregone conclusion that large-scale
personal income tax cuts are not ini
prospect for 1955.

tax policy, Congress and the Admini

Congressional debate on the Internal I

Tax treatment of foreign business'

ment for retirement income for those
j not covered by pension plans.
I But whether the Administration can
j carry out this tax program hinges en
, tirely on what happens in November.
1 j) The November elections will large
ly determine whether the program of
economy inaugurated by the Admini
stration can be continued. The White
House would find it extremely diffi
cult to keep spending at a minimum
with a hostile Congress on its hands.
Friends of business also are mak
ing an effort to revise the patents
provision of the Atomic Energy Act.
Chairman Cole (R.-N.Y.), of the Joint
Congressional Atomic Energy Com
mittee. will seek to eliminate from l
SECTION TWO-
the new Act the provision requiring
five years’ compulsory licensing of
patents. Mr. Cole, along with several
other House members, agreed to the
compulsory licensing only after a gen
tlemen’s agreement was reached that
the patent problem would be “fairly
and fully studied” by the new Con
gress.
Then, too, the friendsi of public
power will seek to revise the Act to
tighten government control of both
the production and distribution of
atomic power.
It is in this hurly-burly atmosphere
that the businessmen in the Eisenhow
-1 er Administration have to live.
