RISK CAPITAL MUST BE FREED All history tends to prove that without risks there can be no progress. Those eras characterized by gress. Those eras characterized by risk-taking were the most progressive, while periods in which people clutched at security were epochs of non-progress, stagnation and retrogression. Also history reveals that whenever a free people retreated from risk, they reverted back to a condition of servitude and slavery. Every forward advance in America has been marked by risk-taking. The Pilgrim Fathers left sheltered homes to brave the unknown, with no guarantee of security or liberty. During the first winter in Plymouth one half of these risk-takers died of starvation, yet, when the Mayflower left for England the next Spring, not one of the Pilgrims returned to what would 4iave been a life of comparative comfort and security. THEY WERE WILLING TO PAY A REAL PRICE FOR FREE DOM.

This same spirit dominated the pioneers who converted the American wilderness into a mighty industrial empire in a short period of time, into a giant production cachine that is standing us in good stead in this war emergency period. But as risks are inherent in the very nature of business enterprise, there were rewards commensurate with the hazards involved. Investment of capital always involves possibility of loss, and no one can afford for long to; incur risks, nor will one do so, without prospect for profit. Yet, for the past two decides, the average net return on capital invested in American industry has averaged around three per cent, which is small compensation for the use of capital and of services for directing the business affairs of the nation. For the first 150 years of our history, American business enterprisers took their chances because there was prospect of liberal rewards /or

risks involved and contributions made. Then came the Great Depression. The confusion and anxiety of the times developed a defeatist theory on the part of some; a belief that America had reached the peak of development, and that there was no further outlet for business capital. The proponents of this new, foolish school of thought held that the government should obtain money from taxation and borrowing end redistribute it through doles, subsidies and public works. Unfortunately these ill-advised economists prevailed and we entered into an era of mounting government deficits, sharply increased corporate taxes and multiplying government regulations. Venture capital went into hiding, and it will stay there until we throw overboard the policy of “spending ourselves rich,” and get back to the principals which enabled U 9 during the first 150 years of opr history to build the most prosperous civilization the world has ever known. To do this we must repeal the 16th Ammendment (Income Tax). We have made mention frequently in this column of the proposal to set a new 22nd Admendment to limit the power of Congress in peacetime to impose taxes on incomes, inheritances and gifts to a maximum rate of 25 per cent. To date, 14 States have passed proposals to the Congress to call a convention for the purpose of submitting such a proposed Constitutional Admendment to the States for ratification. If two-thirds (32 States) enact such proposals, Congress must do so. In February, the Lower House of Virginia passed the resolution, and the Upper House is expected to follow suit. The proposal will be up for consideration by toe legislatures of several other States shortly. Such a tax limitation on Congress would bring risk capital out of hiding; that capital every dollar of which this nation is going to need to cope with the post-war America back on the pathway it trod for 150 years with such unprecedented success.
