PAGE SIX —«sCTrow TWO The National Outlook The Republican Platform and Business By Ralph Robey By all odds the greatest con troversy in the Republican Na tional Convention was over the platform. The particular points upon which there was disagree ment were civil rights, defense, and to a lesser degree the pro- j penal for federal aid to educa tion. Until the last it appeared' there would be an argument on the floor, but that did not hap pen. None the less, this is the most liberal platform ever adopt ed by the Republicans. But just as in the case of the Democratic platform, we are con cerned only with those pledges and policies which have a direct bearing upon the business trend. There is a vast and basic differ ence between the two platforms i« this regard. The Democrats, it will be re called, pledged whatever policies that may be necessary to have a national growth rate of 5 per cent, and made it clear that this was a responsibility of govern ment. The Republicans are in favor of more rapid growth (they mention no specific per centage) but insist that this must result, not from government ac tion, but through the decisions of free men. Their proposals, there fore, are designed primarily to create a climate which will en courage growth. The exact words in the Repub lican platform are: “To build a better America with broad national purposes such as high employment, vig orous and steady economic growth, and a dependable cur rency, responsible management: of our federal finances is essen- 1 tial. Even more important, a sound economy is vital to na tional security.” They state it as their belief that “except in times of war or economic adversity, expenditures should be covered by revenues and “our tax structure should be I improved to provide greater in centives to economic progress, to make it fair and equitable, and to maintain and deserve public acceptance." They pledge to support the independence of the Federal Reserve System and this is directly contrary to the pledge of the Democrats. A most unusual item in the Republican platform is the pri ority assigned for the use of fed eral revenues. This is. first, meet the needs of national de fense; second, take care of the needs of the nation” that cannot be handled by local government or private action: third, reduce the public debt; and fourth, “improve our tax structure.” An argument can be made for this order, but in our judgment it is not too sound. Obviously national defense needs must be met, but it does not follow that this should require larger ex penditures, and certainly there is no evidence that we need an increase of $3 billion, as Gover nor Rockefeller has been saying. The “urgent needs of the na tion” is so vague a phrase that it can mean anything, and it could be made to absorb all pos sible growth in revenues. Paying off a part of the pub lic debt is a desirable objec tive, but at the moment it is not as important as tax rate re form. This is because only by tax rate reform can we get the Taylor Theatre EDENTON, N. C. Thursday.

It is not too much of an ex aggeration. therefore, to say that the order of priorities listed in the platform is exactly back wards. There are other points in the platform upon which there’s much room for disagreement from the economic point of view. But the over-riding fact re mains that this Republican platform reflects a basic faith and confidence in individual en terprise and freedom, whereas ' the Democratic platform was di rectly pointed to a more and more powerful federal govern ment and less and less individual freedom. It will be interesting and important to see whether this difference is maintained in the campaign which is ahead, — —— I Mrs. H. S.

Then ih this act the splendor of human life breaks forth. It was in this commitment that the majesty of Isaiah’s prophecy flowered. | In 1770 British soldiers fired I upon a disorderly crown in Bos-1 | ton. John Adams, foe of the j [British, could have remained si- 1 i lent to his own profit. But he accepted the request to serve as counsel for the accused soldiers. It was an unpopular, fatiguing assignment. But when he ad dressed the jury, he expressed his attitude by quoting words of the Marquis Beccaria: “If I can but be the instrument of preserv ing one life, his blessinfs and tears shall he sufficient consola tion to me for the contempt of mankind!” We are able to stand up against the crowd and bravely say the right but unpopular thing if we are totally committed to the call of God. This forthrightly clear utter ance is greatly needed in the area of religion. If we are com mitted, the crowd will probably not be with us. We shall live as a minority group. We should remind ourselves, however, that the Christian religion is never quantitative, but qualitative. It may well be that in this lackadaisical age. where so few in or out of the church desire to carry a cross, the Christian church should grow smaller be fore growing larger. Church membership demanding more from fewer people might result in the release of new power in our personal lives and in the life of the nation. Isaiah did not look around to see who agreed with him, or -vhether he would travel alone. He simply answered God’s call by saying, “Here I am! Send me . Life is never dull for one who takes this stand.
