THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1945 Unfair Competition Government in business in compe tition with its private citizens is daily becoming an issue of greater national importance. This is what Henry Wal lace stands for, the man the Presi- -dent of the United States wants ap pointed to one of the most important financial jobs of the government to pay a personal political debt. This issue is of vast importance for two reasons. First, because gov- t rnment in business, no matter how von try to guild it. is state socialism, fascism or communism.' Whichever l ame it goes under, it means that the hberties and opportunities of indi- \ 'duals are restricted. Second, because government jn bu.'iness destroys local control and taxation in the fields it invades; it demands tax exemptions, public sub- .»idies. freedom from state regulatory laws. etc. The whole principle is unfair. What large business enterprise could n't show a si^bstantial profit if given tax-exemption privileges?
