has been, and shall continue to
be, our policy to maintain a
strong reserve position, thereby
affording an extra measure of
safety for all investors. By set

six months, our general reserves
have now reached a figure of ap

During World War II, U.S.,

of war in 1946 this was cut down
to mere $600 million, payable
over a long term at a low 2%

Alas In 1946, after debt was

out of another loan for $344 bil

By C WILSON HARDER
Itogether 'In past 49 years
8. government baa taken from
American taxpayers almost |42tt
billion to loan, give, or otherwise
convey to England. Repayments
have been only $4*4 billion. Not
n very healthy record.
* * *
This current “Bucks to Brit
ain” episode will likely loom
large in forthcoming Congres
sional struggle to seek amend
ment of tax laws so small enter-
prise^may keep part of profits
for expansion and modernization
to stay combetitive.
Ta * *
In fact, it almost seems this new
loan made to England with great
haste was for purpose of fore
stalling any Congressional tax
cuts. It has often happened that
way. “Boys,” Congress is told,
“Yon can’t cut taxes now, be
cause while yon were not in ses
sion, we spent n lot of money that
must be raised somewhere.”
* • *
Of course, throughout history,
bureaucrats have never advo
cated tax cuts. Theory of bureau
cratic thinking seems to be that
if screws are once loosened on
taxpayer, it may be impossible
to tighten them up again.
* o •
However, this time It coaid be
different. President has already
promised tax relief for small
business.
• • *
And at grass roots level there
Is great resentment against U. S.
policy of throwing tax money all
over world in blind delusion this
policy wins friends who can be
counted upon. Repeated expres
sions of opinion by nation’s small
businessmen voting on mandates
of National Federation of Inde
pendent Business shows this.
In addition, high-living, global
thinking, freo spending bnrean-
crata will have to come to this
hard fact. The wen la running
dry. Dollar has now hit Its lowest
value in history. In event of war,
this could be fatal, as even U. 8.
victory at arms would not stave
off bankruptcy. — * ~~
