j Booby Trap ,
In public speeches, in published
articles and in this column since
early January, 1944, -1 have been
caUing attention to the "booby
trap" in America's wartime tax
laws. Now, as bur fighting men
press harder upon Berlin, the in
dustries that support them are
drawn closer to the trap. Most war
contracts win be voided on V-Day
but taxes and payrolls must still
be met.
Corporations pay income tax each
r- - - ' --
firms will .be taxed on 1945' earn
ings. But if war ends (terminating
war contracts) this year, 1946 will
be the year of change-back, of
costly sales and few. Problem: How
to hire more men and pay 1945' s
taxes with small earnings or none?

business. But right is m right
Prosperity in America depends on
full employment; full employment
depends on business expansion and
business expansion depends on wise
tax provisions.
Firms that have used their war-
,year proflts expanding production
for victory are not to be blamed.
They are solvent They will have
adequate working, eppitnl due them

Refund Bonds are cashable and
after their Carry-bad: credits on ex

After a . man has starved to

Neither will money due a firm, help
its employees after bankruptcy.
What war-production , firms need is
money when they need it; -to hire
men, to buy machinery for peace
time work, to save useful enter
prises and avoid wholesale un
employment in their communities.
Laborers and farmers and small
town merchants have the most at
stake. .

the United Brotherhood of Carpen

conversion time.
Labor Leader Says
"Analysis of a large number of
companies shows that . .' . they have
had to use their tax reserves for
current operations, so that when war
ends they . . . can not reconvert to
peacetime operations and employ
ment of men. ... We strongly urge
that these provisions be amended
in a manner which your Commit
tee believes will make refunds
available immediately at the time
war production of these companies
has stopped." 1
4Mr. Hutcheson's letter reached
Mr. Dough ton's desk only shortly
ahead of one like it from William
Green, president of A. F. of L. Are
these labor leaders apple-polishers?
No! They are far-sighted think
ers serving the interests of working
men, and they know how. They are
not recommending boodle for busi
ness men. They are intelligently
promoting postwar Jobs and pros
rwity for the United States.

China
Quashing Hlrohito's dream of
great empire will not finish the -United
States' Job in the Orient.
Chinese, 460 million of them, already
are holding out Imploring hands to
ward America. Most of them don't
know what they need but this fact 7
only tightens our obligation because
we do know what's good for them. '
They need slow, regular feedings ef
the diet on which America, grew
strong.
On a diet of Christianity, encour
agement for initiative, free enter
prise and protection for invest-
ments, America grew in' ISO years
from 13 rustic colonies to be the
world's most powerful nation. China
has had none of it Since the year
One China has had everything but a
chance, so it had nothing. Fertile
soil, timber, iron, coal, oil and man- .
power, China has hod. But Chiaa
stayed poor.
China Wants a Chance
Far-sighted leaders in China are
frankly bidding for capital lavast-.
ments from other countries whea ;
the war is over. It is America's
invitation; no other big country will
have capital at the end ef the war. "
Will China be a 'good place for
Americans to invest money in the
postwar years? Will it be a good
frontier for adventurous yeung
Americans to enter as Industrial pi
oneers? Both these questions have me
same answer. China offers oppor
tunity only if investments will be
safe there after the war. Less thaa
ten years ago when I lived there no
body, except in a few favored spots,
dared own a paying business. If
local warlords didn't, confiscate such
enterprises,. 4andits would plunder
them. Chiang Kai-shek will remedy
this, I trust, if he can enjoy united
cooperation from his present allies.
Business Not Safe
In order to make profitable bust-,
ness safe in China, it will be neces
sary to have a strong, represents-
live .. government. 'Government
must be able to .crush the rule of
'countless local warlords at home .
and command the respect, r-nd
recognition- of ether aiafcraie. wrki-
powers. Investment of capital there r
depends upon the creation, of a set
, of conditions that do not now exist. -
Developments that might' take
place in China in 25 years of private
enterprise are staggering to think '
about. China's population Is three .
times ours. China has one billion
dollars invested in industry, we have
130 billion. America's capital invest- -ment
is $C0Q per person; China's is
$2.50. Chinese still farm with hoes
while their soldiers fight with American-made
guns.
Selnshnew Kills
Some short-sighted person is al
most certain to ask: "Why should
we help industrialise China, teach
them how to build wealth and beat
us at our own game?" The idea is
silly. We will prosper with China.
Prosperous customers always help. .
For. instance, there are ISO million
people in the lands south of El
Paso; less than' a tenth as many
live in industrialised Canada. But
Canada buys approximately as
much from us.
Chinas needs 25,000 locomotives,
20 million tractors and ether items
in proportion. China also has valu
able things to trade for America's
goods. It would take 100 billion dol
lars or more to make her competi
tive with the United States In
dustrially, but nint billion would
bring her up to about our horre-and-buggy
days. After that she eeutt
finance herself. , It we caa at
Chiang Kai-shek to stabilize Cklaa
politically there is little doubt the
ash would be available.
