Stymie Law
On V-Day, when fighting ends and
the peoples of a plundered world
begin shouting their joy and grati-
tude in a thousand tongues, aerial
bombs and floating mines are going
to seem pretty cheap. All treacher-
ous and destructive machines will
appear in their right light again.
Their values will show as minus
quantities. Then slow, cautious men
will set to work getting rid of them.
But there are instruments of war
more treacherous than floating
mines, more ruinous than any block-
buster ever devised. Uncle Sam wiU
have one of these on his hands when
war ends unless Congress does
something about it. It is trained on
American factories and farms now,
ready to start a bombardment on
Armistice Day and nothing can elim-
inate the serious menace but new
legislation.
Congress Can Save.
The United States has a law
against progress. It was not enact-
ed to stop scientific and industrial |
development but, if it stays on the j
statute books in peace time, even for I
a short while, it will be a govern-
ment freeze of creative work. It :
was passed five years ago to raise j
money for national defense and keep j
war-mongers from profiteering on !
the misfortunes of other people.
I am not criticizing the purposes
of the act. America had to raise
war employment problem.
Small companies employ more
than 80% of the nation's workers.
They handle the lion's share of our
national income. What their em-
ployees eat makes farm prosperity.
If these little firms see a chance to
earn a profit, they will get ready for
peace . . . new business and new
yobs in large numbers. But If until
V-Day they remain scared to ex-
pand, America is stymied and so la
the world.

VEGETABLES AND
BERRIES
Towering waves rolling on mile*
of broad beaches, acres of factories,
smoke-plumed and glass walled-
revenue quickly for defense, and that's the picture Mr. and Mrs.
right thinking people did not want
to see a new crop of war-lords en-
riched with blood-money. Just the
same, there ought to be a new act,
worded to take effect on the day of
victory, repealing certain provisions
in the 1940 tax law which are war
measures, ruinous to any people at
peace.
Kills New Business.
The sense of the law is this: Add
up all the profit a firm made in four
pre-war years, 1936-1939 inclusive;
figure 25% of the total and call It a
sample pre-war year’s profit. If a
corporation earns more than that in
any year of war, it must pay the
government 85% of the difference in
a special tax.
Small business concerns can’t
grow if the law stands. Really big
corporations can escape being dev-
astated. Some will want to expand
further and can’t, but they can stay
big. Here is why: by percentage,
not much of a giant corporation’s
business is ever new business; its
profits (however big) grow slowly.
Small firms, not so. What will be
the net result?
Service to Humanity.
Thrifty little enterprises like you
and I might form will be paralyzed.
They can’t expand because their dol-
lars of increased profit will be split
two ways, 15c to keep, and 85c for
the government. Many will die, as
losses on development of new prod-
ucts wipe out their meager capital.
Huge firms, which have no need for
substantial growth, can develop new
products with no risk to their strong
financial position.
A big company’s losses on new
developments can be used to reduce
taxes on profits from old business.
In this way, government pays more
than four-fifths of such losses for big
concerns. It must be remembered,
however, that big corporations are
too few to solve nation’s post-
America get in passing through New
Jersey. But in the shadows of
those rambling industrial plants and
bordering the wide concrete high-
ways, stretch thousands of acres of
food-producing fields which will re-
main among the most fertile in the
country as long as War Bonds are
purchased to insure their future.
More than 29,000 farms covering 40
per cent of the state’s area grow
$100,000,000 worth of corn, potatoes,
beans, strawberries, asparagus,
blueberries and other nourishment
for millions of Atlantic coast dwell-
ers with tons to spare for export.

HOW MUCH TO MOVE
A WAR?
)AS boon as we can, we'll bring to hear
il on the Japs all the additional might
.we’ve been using against Germany.
What will it cost, this Moving 1 lay of War?
Estimate it in these terms: The job of
moving millions of men from one front to
another. Thousands of ships to carry tho
supplies of battle. Swarms of new-type air-
craft to blast the path into enemy territory.
You can get an idea of the cost from the
fact that Uncle Sam needs 7
billions from us in the mighty
Seventh War Loan—now!
The Seventh War Loan I
will call for the greatest bond- J
buying we have ever done.
