Marshall, continues lit Congress,, where the issue has be come involved, in efforts to secure in Come tax reduction in this country. ,1 The statements of various public figures ii regard to what this country can do for Europe must be measured, it seems to us , by the " opinions of these same spokesmen , in. regard to the tax reduction measure.' Obvious ly, if a roan wants to insure a con siderable reduction, of income taxes, he will not be too strong in his sup port of the Administration bill which calls for an expenditure , of. $6,800,- 000,-000 in the fifteen months begin-) ning April 1st. . " ;.'! While there may be differences of opinion, the overriding clean m Con gress today centers around the efforts to reduce taxation. The European Relief Plan, the appropriations for the next year, and all activities of the Government are weighed in the balance for the purpose Of estimating the result in terms of tax reduction. AVe believe that Congress might have made faster progress with the relief plan if the question of tax re duction could have 'been settled. If the Congressmen have made up their minds to vote for substantial reduc tion in income taxes, the issue should be fixed and future commitments con sidered without the impression that one would prevent the. other. . The cry for a balanced budget has been heard in the country for a long time. Most of the political leaders think that there are votes to be gain ed by proclaiming that the Federal Government is operating in the black. They also believe that there are votes to be had by reducing taxes on in comes. These are the cardinal con clusions for election-minded states men and they will predominate in the deliberations of both Houses. Strong .Demand For More Aid To China "The Soviet Government, using the 'Chinese Communists as tools, is threatening to impose its rule on all China," declares Senator Styles Brid ges, of New Hampshire, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, in a letter 'to Secretary of State George C. Marshall, demanding a major plan to aid Nationalist China. The Senator asserts that " a vital interest of the people of the United States" has been endangered by the Govefnment's policy toward the post war situation in the Far East where it seemed to treat the "Chinese Com munists as mere agrarian reformers" and withholds licenses for, the purpose of arms and ammunition in this coun try by the Chinese Government. There is a strong sentiment in Con gress,' and in the nation at large, in favor of forthright assistance to thr Nationalist ' Government of China. Lieutenant-General Albert C. Wede meyer, former presidential envoy to China, told a House committee late last year that it was "urgently nec essary" to' send military supplies and give' economic help 1 Government In Business Gives Away Its Profits There are many business men who are convinced that the Government is unable to properly handle any busi ness whatever, but most of them do not stop to analyze the reasons for the Government's incompetency. Let us take - the question of in surance, for example. Everybody re members the war risk insurance that the Government underwrote when it appeared likely that private property in the United States would suffer war damage. Fortunately, the premiums collected by the Government far ex ceeded the losses paid. If the in surance had beeji written by private enterprise, the profits would have been distributed to stockholders. When the Government made a profit, however there immediately arose a demand to return the money to the policyholders. Another illustration comes to light in connection with GI insurance. It seems "(hat the dividends collected have left a large balance because the actual death rate was far below that calculated.; Consequently, a bill has been introduced in Congress to divide the surplus among the veterans carrying- insurance, either in cash, or by application to their premiums. We have no particular objection to the idea. If the Government charged an insurance ' rate higher than nec essary on the basis of actual claims paid because of deaths in the service, it could afford to distribute the sur plus and the distribution could be jus tified on the" theory that the govern ment wants no profit on the insurance that its veterans carried. y -While stating all tf these facts, the examples reveal very clearly why the government "makes no money" when it does into business. If the insurance on veterans had been written by pri vate-insurance companies, the surplus would have been profits and there woum have been no talk of distribut ing it to the policyholders. Congress Amplifies "Voice Of Americaf It is somewhat remarkable that the House and Senate, by unanimous vote, have enacted a bill sanctioning the State department's foreign informa tion program,- including the short wave radio program "Voice of Am crto." .
