His New Deal brain- H trusters may tell him that this can be done by reducing the profits of 1 corporations, but of course this would tend to reduce production. It would be like ‘‘sinking the ship to [ j clear it of rats”. Only One Way Out .J g i The only way that these three ! 8 1 promises can be kept is by subsidiz- g j ing key employers. This was a pol- | Jit; icy used in many industries during g j the war. It is “beating the devil 8 1 around the bush”, but in many cas- g es it reduced the price to consumers considerably more in dollars than the 1 subsidy amounted to. On the other j I hand,as in the cast of potatoes, there ' were instances where it was a ter- ; rible farce. It really means that ; in addition to throwing favors to labor, farmers and consumers, he will throw one more gift to certain manufacturers so that production will not be curtailed. Of-c^urse, this means higher tax es. All subsidies must ultimately j be paid by the taxpayers. I, there- : fore, would expect to see an increase NEXT— "LADY IN ERMINE With BETTY GRABLE” n When You’re on Your Feet, Stay Refreshed j in corporation taxes, and possibly J j in personal income taxes to take care j of these subsidies which would be j in addition to our tremendous ex- ! penditures for armament iat home j I and ” peace” abroad. There would 1 be a tremendous yell against such i increased taxes but otherwise the „ „ | deficit budget would require the is- suance of more bonds. This would surely mean further inflation. Business Confidence? F'fcave been unable to find a bus- j inessman—Republican or Democrat— | who is going ahead with new plans not already arranged for before elec- | tion. Of course, there are great, backlogs in industrial building, new homes, improvements to machinery,! material stockpiles, etc. This back- | log should keep gross business fairly 'good during 1SH9. Net earnings and dividends, however, are sure to fall off. Businessmen who were all pepped up to go ahead with ex pansion programs under Dewey are now crestfallen and discouraged. President Truman certainly should maJce some statement to revive the confidence of businessmen or else the present decline may run into a riot. Now as to the New York attitude regarding the stock market: “Elim inating the possibility of more infla tion, it may be wise to take profits at the present time. A few safe com mon stocks, however, are a good hedge against inflation along with sound education for* your children, producing real estate, good furniture, rare diamonds, and solid gold neck laces, even although the quotations for all these things may decline dur ing the next two or three years.” Jjk for it either way ... both trade-marks mean the same thing.
