€011111 Important Economic Report This week the President sent to the Congress a vitally important economic report which made these major points: (1) Our domestic economy is the keystone of United Nations victory over communist aggression in Korea and to the defeat of any future communist aggression in other parts of the globe; (2) Our economy is strong and must be kept strong; (3) Our Nation has the “human and material resources to do the job ahead—if we achieve the unity which will enable us to do our best.” I hope every Democratic leader, devoting all his energies toward unity and national success in our present emergency, will study the facts given in the President’s Midyear Economic Report carefully. The President has not glossed over the difficulties we will face, but he has given us a sound blueprint for overcoming them. If all Americans understand the problem and the President’s proposals, we will achieve the home front unity we need for victory. Here in convenient outline form are the main points the President made: THE GOAL Expand military production and supply; avoid inflation; maintain non-military programs at rate needed to assure a strong economy to meet needs of increasing population in the future. WAR PRODUCTION STRENGTH AT PRESENT Steel: Wartime peak was 90 million tons per year; present production is at annual rate of 100 million tons, an all-time high. Aluminum: Present output nearly 743 thousand tons a year, almost as high as record war output of 775 thousand. Electric power: Now at annual rate of 317 billion kilowatt hours, compared with 228 billion wartime high. Food: Index which was 97 in 1929 and rose to 140 during war is now about 139. Manpower: Output per man hour 65 per cent greater than in 1929 in industry; output per farm worker about 43 per cent higher than in pre-war years. DUTY OF GOVERNMENT IN GENERAL TERMS “Provide for the common defense.” Test is not how far we can go without straining our domestic economy or creating inflationary pressures. In all-out emergency there is no limit short of our total strength as to what we should do to resist aggression and seek peace. Present conditions indicate that we do not require a complete set of economic controls at this time—“If business, labor and consumers practice moderation, and if adequate steps are taken at once to adjust private and public policies and programs to our supply needs and to the curbing of inflation.” Fiscal and • credit measures—increased taxes and tightening pf credit—are the main tools at present to restrain inflation and avoid more controls. These can reduce demand for critical materials needed by military forces. The government also .should: Tighten federal programs which might compete for materials needed for defense. Take steps to pave the way for future expansion of production if it is needed. Take steps to assure that military manufacture receives its necessary share of available raw materials. Make advance planning to enable our economy to meet future defense needs in efficient and orderly way. Build (as military needs permit) upon existing programs to maintain stability and encourage growth of our economy as part of a strong world economy. LEGISLATION NOW SOUGHT $5 billion tax increase: (1) Drop exdse tax cuts and other cuts in pending bills; retain loophole closing provisions, dividend withholding and life insurance company levy; (2) Revise corporate income tax to raise normal rate f r om 21 to 25 per cent, increasing (with 20 per cent surtax) corporate tax rate on incomes over $25,000 to 45 per cent; (3) Individual income tax would be raised by removing reductions of 1945 and 1948 (but retaining joint return provisions which let husband and wife split their income for tax computation), which would require increase in the withholding rate from 15 to 18 per cent, beginning in last quarter of 1950. Inflation curbs: Authority to regulate consumer credit, to restrain mortgage

INDIANA, FRIDAY, AUG. 11, 1950.

credit, particularly for housing, and to limit commodity speculation is required. Handling shortages: Authority is needed to use priorities and allocations of commodities in short supply, to limit non-essen-tial uses of such materials to prevent inventory hoarding and to permit the requisitioning of materials for military needs. Speeding production: Program of loans and other incentives for the extension of production capacity of certain vital defense materials, for technological developments and for production of essentials is required. THE DUTY OF ALL OF US Voluntary cooperation: . Changes in national economic policy recommended by the President are “based upon the proposition that we must look also to individual and voluntary adjustments within our free economy to see us safely through the type of economic situation which is now unfolding.” If conditions do not change greatly, we should continue to place large reliance on voluntary adjustments. Business: Growing productive strength depends upon business policies sucb as enlargement of capacity and investment to make full use of growing labor force. Price and income practices which maintain a balance between full output and buying power are required so as to avoid either inflation or deflation. (This, of course, bars profiteer price rises.) Business should not hold back on needed expansion because of fears that such productive capacity may be too much for the future. Our growing population requires an expanding economy. Military expansion can help build normal peacetime prosperity. Labor: Increasing strength and influence of unions upon the course of the whole economy brings great responsibility. More effective use of manpower will be needed. Inflationary wage demands should be avoided. Labor and management should join to consolidate industrial peace. Work stoppages cannot be afforded in some vital industries in the present emergency. All of us: Every American is a consumer. How we buy will have tremendous effect in the future course of our economy. Buy normally. There is no outlook for serious consumer goods shortages unless they are brought about by speculators or hoarders. The normal buying rule applies to business buying as well as housewife buying. The President avoided extremes of pessimism or optimism in his general summary of our present situation. He said: “The world responsibilities of the United States have become heavy. Clearly, they will become still heavier before the united efforts of the free nations of the world produce a lasting peace. “The American people know how much is at stake. They are prepared to shoulder their tasks without flinching. “The facts should warn us equally against easy indifference and sensational alarm. This is not the time for business as usual. “We are not now living under peaceful world conditions. But neither are we engaged in a general or widespread war. We are in a situation between these opposite extremes, and economic policy should be guided accordingly. . . . “Economic policy, to the best of our ability and foresight, should proceed in line with our appraisal of the developing situation. While it should not lag behind, it should not run blindly ahead. . . . “We cannot now take action against all the contingencies of the future. But if we deal promptly and realistically with the problems of the present, the foundations will be firmly established for meeting new problems as they arise. “Working cooperatively together, through their free enterprise system and their Government, the American people have won a great war and established a unique pros-

perity.

“Our task now is to help to restore and maintain the peace of the world, and to protect and advance our economic strength. These two purposes are inseparable. “We have achieved unity in our policies to resist foreign aggression. We must seek and achieve the same unity in economic policies, which will enable us to make that resistance successful as rapidly as possible. All else must yield to this controlling consideration in the minds and hearts of the freedom-loving people of the United States.” I know every Democrat, from Cabinet officer to precinct worker, will work for this unity in the days of decision ahead. The President On Domestic Unity “The response of the whole Nation to developments in the Far East has already provided an overwhelming demonstration of unity in the conduct of our international policy. This has lifted the spirits of our friends all over the world. “In these difficult times, there is tlie same need for unity on the economic front here at home. “If our economy should fail to realize its full potential, our international strength and our domestic strength would both be affected. “We cannot afford division on the home front, when some of our young men are fighting overseas. “We cannot afford an economy which performs below its best, when nothing but the best will assure the triumph of freedom and of right.” —From the Midyear Economic Report
