GOVERNMENT?THE
NON-PRODUCER *
Government is esnentiully a nonproducer.
That fact supplies the key to the
riddle of "Why hasn't pump-priming
by the government worked?" It has
not worked because it has Inevltai.ly
drawn more and more flsancial
life-blood from industries and individuals.
at the expense of private
productive spending. It hasn't worked
because It has so extended political
power over Industry that private
capital has been discourage and drl
ven into hiding. It hasn't worked because
it has applied So much of our
tcrnurc.es to political, rather than
economic ends.
In the past ten years. we have
spent some thirty billion dollars"
which we have not yet earned ? in
addition to those other billions actually
collected in taxes ? in comhtJ

have to shew for It is the highest
national debt in our history. Has
business been stimulated? No?look
a? any of the standard indices, and
you will find that It Is not far above
>h< worst depression lows. Have
-hs Iven f^ttnd for the Unemployed?
No?according to the best surveys
unemployment today Is about as
creat as at any time in the past.
This is the fruit cf a policy which
has discouraged private, productive
effort on every occasion, which has
penalized and reviled business, and
which in certain cases has actually
put the government into business as
a competitor, using the unbeatable
weapons of tax-subsldles ' and taxfreedom.
Never was there so grave
a lack of confidence In the future as
there Js today. And never was there
sounder cause for that lack.
Isn't it about time we adopted a
policy of aldisg and encouraging bus
loess, to the end that the real pro
ductive Influence* of this-country be
utilized? Isn't it abont time we
made It possible for capital to go
confidently to work to build and rebuild?
Isn't it about thne w.e listened
to the wise counsel of those who
point > to the vital necessity of cooperation
with and tor business ?
Instead of to ths extremists wtth
their harsh philosophies of destructiou?

The next morning, Cathy went
early to Wutherlng Height*. She
gave no word of greeting to the
quietly smiling Haathcliff.
"Heathcllff, la It true?"
"Is what true?"
! "That you asked Isabella to

She waited for his reply, and
none came.
"It Is true then...Oh, Heathcllff.

But missing from the guest list h<
,vere the so-called bright young men
and wctnen who have filtered Into
Washington (and into responsible, th
well-paying government Jobs) in 'I'
the iast few years. And so it was to
that this group began raising a ter- M,1
mir sunipus over theff social hurt?. I-^1
Reasoned this group: If we are big |\'
enough to make busfnoss men . and
Tqhn Taxpaver. bow in respect be- f '
fore us, aren't we good enough to ',r
I ow before tbe ' visiting Royalty? v'
The energy that has been expended
by these Socially ambitious ones m
In an effort to get on the guest list, ^
In many oases, exceeded the energy
they expended to" get they choicy r'
Jobs. It is the most interesting?and U'
bitter ? social war waged in tire
Capitol since the fernuus'l>olly Oonn _
-Alice Longworth feud of many *
years ago.
Indeed, the metamorphosis of a
polltUcal pebble Is strange when for u\
tune lifts It from the unknown and in
commonplace of Pcdunk to the potent
pot of politics and patronage In pt
Washington. at

But the stugglp for social reoognl ?ft
tion Is op)v for the sltghted brain or
trusters. The Congressmen and the PC
administration top-rungers have a tji
war of their own on. and the stakes? -b,
ere considerably higher. That strng- re
gle is over the question of :"More th
experiments or a^ return to normal-. 0r

It Is a more furious battle than Is co
nortraved In headlines. It is keening
a lot of administration strategists
working overtime try'ng to head off
that "return to normalcy," ?
Tvnlcal of the Issues Is the tax
ouesflon. a formidable group of Cob
gressmen decided a few wepks ago '
to take this matter Into their own
handB and write a new tax schedule.
Their goal was to ease some of the
tax restrictions on business so that
Investment would be stimulated. Until
business and Jnsentment Is stimulated.
ths group reasoned, there can
be no recovery. ?I
When the plan was presented at
the White House the answer was
no Finally, however, when It apnmrede
pertain that Congress would
Ivve Its own way in the matter, re""rdless
of administration wishes,
h?re was a face-saving retreat.
"Some nhserrers are saying: Now
