EDITORIAL

Even our seasons, like so many other things nowadays, are
a bit twisted. In Montana the first robin has appeared and
trees are budding while here the writer saw a flicker Sunday.
After being under fire for some time Karl de Schweinitz
has resigned as Secretary of Public Assistance. With his
resignation came bitter remarks against the Earle adminis-
tration. He was charged with inefficiency and mismanage-
ment.
The Department at Washington made public a list of sal-
aries paid men throughout the United States. At the head of
the list is President Sloan, of General Motors, who received
$561,311, Korudsen $459,878: Brown, $353,732; Smith, $349.-
357, all of General Motors. Four other General Motors of-
ficials each received over $300,000 last year. Is it any wonder
automobiles are high?
Of course we have a number of movie stars who are also
being paid far more than they are rally worth in our estima-
tion. Heading the list is Gary Cooper with $370,214. These
are the main reasons why it costs from 25 cents up to see a
movie.
We are still of the impression that no man’s hire is worthy
of such salaries.
STOP THE “RECESSION”
The hopes that were held out during the first half of this
year for continued expansion of industrial production,
growth of private employment, and an increasing national in-
come, have been dissipated. The United States enters the
new year under the cloud of a critical business recession.
The values of securities depreciated by more than 40 per
cent in a single week during October—and they are still hov-
ering near the lows reached at that time. The unemployment
totals, notably in the heavy industries, are soaring seriously.
The standard indices of business activity have shown alarm-
ing and continued drops. Frightened investors reveal in in-
creasing disinclination to place their money in productive
enterprise. Individuals, worried as to the future, are cutting
their personal buying to the limit, with the resultant depres-
sive influence on the entire business structure. The chaotic
labor situation is still another barrier to the normal progress
of trade and industry.
This recession cannot be accurately compared to the oc-
casional declines which characterize almost all upward busi-
ness cycles. It is, instead, the inevitable result of a long series
of deliberate acts which could culminate only in what we
witness today. Those whose voices were disregarded for
many years, because they refused to view conditions through
rose-colored glasses, are seeing their prophecies and their
fears come true today. :
The federal government has pursued a policy of competi-
tion with private businesses, which has prevented the spend-
ing of billions of private capital.
The federal government has pursued a fiscal policy which,
long enough continued, must end in bankruptey—and has
continuously put off the day of reckoning. Some two dollars
have been spent for every dollar received in tax revenues. The
federal debt has doubled in about five years. And the burden
of present heavy taxes, plus the prospect of still heavier taxes
in the future, has been one of the most dampening or all in-
fluences that retard investment and industrial development.
The federal, as well as many of the state governments, has
hampered normal competition in the field of retail trade, to
the end that prices have been artificially forced upward, and
the consumer has rebelled.
Business has been burdened with special taxes which, while
small revenue producers, disrupt normal industrial opera-
tions, prevent the creation of the financial surpluses which
are essential safeguards against bad times, and discourage ex-
pansion.
In brief, government has tended in late
enemy, not the ally, of legitimate business-—a subsidized com-
petitor, not an umpire, in affairs that belong properly in the
vears to be the
sphere of private enterprise in a democratic nation.
What caw be done to remedy this? The answer is plain—
and it has been given many times by men prominent in fin-
ance, in industry, in journalism, and in the government it-
self.
First, business must be reassured—and that means that it
must be convinced that it will be permitted, under the Ameri-
can system of free enterprise, to carry on its functions with-
out bureaucratic dictation, and earn a reasonable profit from
its labors.
Second, it is essential that Congress takes the necessary
steps to remove from the bent back of industry, the capital
gains and the surplus profits taxes which are often called
“taxes without a friend.
Third, business must

Fourth, our basic medium of transportation, the railroads,
must be permitted tarifl's that provide a fair margin of oper-
ating profit. This industry is normally the nation’s greatest
single employer and purchaser of supplies.
Fifth, the government must put its fiscal house in order—
which means a balanced budget, and a plan for steadily re-
ducing the national debt.
Sixth, in matters that effect all industry, there must be a re-
storation of confidence. There must be a cooperative spirit
toward our great security exchanges, instead of an inimical
attitude that tends to render them impotent. There must be
a rebuilding of our faith in the processes and philosophy of
our constitutional form of government.
The industrial and agricultural resources of this country are
greater than ever. We lead the world in national wealth, in
living standards, in opportunity, and in potential achieve-
a finer civilization than the world has ever known—if onl
we use to the fullest advantage the tools we have. And in se-
curing. this, the first essential is fairness and tolerance —on
the part of industry, of government, of labor, and of all other

elements in our national life.
