Co-Author Volume
Series War II Books
Charles B. MacDonald, Presbyter
ian college alumnus formerly of Lit
tle Rock, S. C., and now with the
military history office in Washing
ton, is the co-author of }he latest
volume in the series on the U. S.
Army in World War II.
Inn the book entitled "Three Bat
tles”, MacDonald wrote of The Cross
ing at Arnaville, and Objective:
Schmidt.
The purpose of the book, as defin
ed by the military history ofifice, is
“to achieve a microscopic view of
battle by focusing on the small front
line units and to provide a picture
of, the interrelationn of small parts
on the battlefield in as great a va
riety of tactical situations as pos
sible." 1

1 We are prone to repeat with unc
tion what some one says, especially
if he be a person “visible,” as the
Spaniards say, meaning an outstand
ing person.
With tremendous earnestness men
are saying “We must not reduce tax
es until we balance the budget.”
That sounds like the orotund voice
of a profound thinker, doesn’t it?
Then the Executive Department of ]
the Government can’t agree on rp-:
, ducing taxes until all the bureau-,
crats agree to reduce spending. Does
; that really seem advisible? Has any-
; one in authority considered the tax-

the story of a battle that started bad

Schmidt tells of one that began with
an unexpectedly easy success and
turned into tragic defeat.
After graduating from Presbyter
ian college in 1942, MacDonald serv
ed with the infantry in Europe. He
recounted his war experiences in the
book “Company Commander.” He i
has been with the military history
office since 1948.

Our rapidly increasing population
will require more jobs. How do we
make jobs? By enequraging people
to invest their savings in new en
terprises and in expended enterpris
es. Consider this illustration be
cause it*is an everyday experience.
A new development in or near a
town is planned. It will have five
hundred homes, a school, one or two
churches, streets. The first service
they call for is electricity. Electricity
for the homes, the churches, the
schools, the streets. Of course water,
sewerage, policing and fire protec
tion. I mention electricity because
that is usually a Company formed by
and owned by men and women who
i put their savings into the project,
j They invest their savings becau^
[they want dividends (like interest)
on the money. Lf the taxes are so
high that industry cannot prosper,
people will not risk their saving
and we shall virtually choke off the
development of business. Now in the
case cited, the Company would prob-
I ably have to employ additional men
! and women. That is how jobs are
i made. If the people do not invest
j their savings there will be no jobs,
j It is as plain as that.
Look around you: if a hundred
men and women decide to invest
in a new store, the store employs
clerks, and other “help”. So we cre
ate jobs; so some more people earn
their bread and meat.
This very wise talk about oalanc-
ing the budget sometimes makes us
think that it is the same as reduction
in spending; but not so; even in South
Carolina, some years ago, we had lo
insist on reducing taxes because the
gentlemen who earnnestly talked of
balancing the budget meant to in
crease the taxes! Certainly, if a bud
get m a ust be balanced, and spending
is not curtailed, we must balance the
budget by increasing the taxes. If
we want to come nearer home, we
South Cafrolinians balanced our
budget by collecting forty million
dollars in a sales tax, didn’t we?
Then we became so rich that today
the vexing problem is to balance the
balance. We have learned how to
spend, which any child can do; but
have we learned how to husband our
resources wisely and prudently?
The iNational t Government has
some legal obligations, such as bond
interest; and some moral obligations,
as to our Service men; but it will
ne^er balance anything unless we
reduce the revenue; we must reduce
the taxes and sternly examine the
spending of every dollar. Perhaps all
administrative jobs in Washington,
except personnel, should be manned
by capable and honest civilians
Sometimes a man is both capable and
honest; it isn’t always necessary to
take two men in order to find those
two qualities. Occasionally we may
become confused, and we may think
like the little boy who visited a cem
etery with his father. “Dad, why
did they bury two men in this
grave?” asked the boy. He read the
inscription: “Here lies an XYZ and
an honest man.”
