On the grounds of the White House stands a tree which is also associated with the name of Washington and which links the past and the present in an unusual manner. This tree is the outgowth of an acorn brought from Russia, and because of this and its unique n lineage it is known as the Oak. The tree from which the acorn was obtained stands in Leningrad. It grew from an acorn produced by a tree at the tomb of Washington, at Mt. Vernon. The Mt. Vernon acorn was sent to the czar of Russia by Senator Charles Sumner, of Massachusetts, and planted in the grounds of the imperial palace n by the czar as a symbol of friendship.

I mighv add that it is one of the few official analyses coming out from the goernment these days that is not colored in any mariner or Urm. The reason this review is so interesting is because it points out what can be expected to happen by a disclosure in detail of what has happened in commerce and industry. fo Uiat extent ,t delivers a rather definite body blow at some New Deal policies affecting business. Since it does this sort of thing, the review is entitled o more faith and credit than usually Is accorded government publications, whether compiled by the Roosevelt administration or Uiose before it. Political leaders always want to put their best foot forward and the New Deal under Mr. Rooseve't has not failed to carry on this tradition to the fullest possible extent. The section of the World Economic Review that was most interesting to me contained this statement: Deficits of great magnitude created yearly during the depression to meet payments of wages, salaries, interest and dividends sapped the vitality of the entire business structure and could not have been sustained indefinitely. Here then is an official declaration from that agency o. the government most concerned with commerce and industry which says that corporations and employers of labor maintained as far as they were able the payrolls and interest payments during the depression. It says likewise that had corporations failed to do this, our unemployment problem would have been much greater, the Income of those who hold securities, whether in large or small amount, would net have received dividends on their stocks or Interest on the bonds and, as a result, it is obvious the buying power of the country as a whole would have been sharply reduced. That is to say, had these payments both to labor and capital, been curtailed there would have been even a lower level of retail business than oh It tabled during the depression. ought to be added as well that had a lower level of business resulted, the manufacturing industries from which the retail store; buy their supplies would have closet down their plants in even greater number than they did. As we look back over the last five or six years it is easy to see bow things could have been very much worse. It is easy to recognize that the strength that comes from amassing capital in corporation form has developed in this country one of the greatest shock absorbers that any people ma; have when those busithose corporations, nesses, are permitted tc develop under sound management and with as little governmental interference as the general public welfare will permit. Now, as to the reason why these businesses were able to accomplish the things they did: The answer is simple. Managements of businesses must follow the same practices in guiding the financial affal s of those businesses as you or I do in the management of our personal af-- , fairs. Picture have another planting. Then cele-f- n i Washington. The Department of Commerce has lately released its W o r Id annual 1 Next Best Thing Are you in the habit of speaking to ladies you dont know?

Thii is called a surplus. The surplus is invested. It is made to yield a return In the form of interest or dividends. It is seldom touched. It is treated just as you and I would treat our savings accounts Just as we deal with our Christmas savings rent interest. account Thus, the arrival of slack times, dull business, no profits, the arrival of the time when we must live on our own fat so to speak, does not find us without a reserve because that is what a surplus la. The records of the savings bank and of the life insurance companies through the last six yeara show definitely how many hundreds of thousands of people had to draw on that surplus just as the Department of Commerce statement now reveals how many corporations drew upon their supluses in order to maintain their organizations, pay the workers and be honest by paying the interest on their debts. AU of this sounds like a Chautauqua lecture on savings. But however it may sound, it links in directly to legislation that was enacted in the last session of Congress, a law driven through under the lash of President Roosevelt after it was conceived by a bunch of radicals who constitute the majority of the brain trust at Washington. That law levies a new tax on corporations. It does not touch us as individuals except indirectly. The tax applies to surplus, to the savings of business, a savings designed to meet just such conditions as those through which we have gone and which business was able to i ireet because heretofore it had been permitted to pile up reserves to car- ry it through the rainy day. Official figures from the Depart- ment of Commerce show that the payments for wages, salaries, interest and dividends from 1930 to 1934 amounted to $21,238,000,000. In 1935, according to incomplete fig- ures business paid out $1,500,000,000 for these same purposes, thus making the total for five years approximately $23,000,000,000. Now, in normal times these figures would not prove exciting Unand der present circumstances those through which we have been passing, they border on the sensational. This is true because these payments have been made, not from the earnings of the businesses during the years in which lliey were paid, but from earnings of earlier good years when a part of the profits were laid aside as a protection. It would seem therefore that since business has performed a social service of this kind under its own management that it ought to be allowed to continue. I am convinced that it is a much safer method than to have the federal government mess around through laws such as the tax on surpluses, tor it must be remembered that under the law which I have criticized, no corporation can build up again such surplus as has happened in the past I might mention further that the effect of this law is going to be to prevent small corporations from ever growing targe. I mean by that if a corporation, through careful management and frugal savings, was able to expand its plant facilities, increase its production and thereby increase the number of workers it employs, it will be unable to do ao. It will be unable to accomplish this for the reason that the operation of this tax law prevents it from storing its savings. The law takes such a heavy toll of earnings that no corany atored-uporation can afford to store them up. They must be passed out in dividends during the yea they are earned or else the government puts its tax hand inta the business treasury. One might say that such a distribution is helpful and undoubtedly in the cases of some owners of securities it is helpful. But questions of this kind must be treated in the whole and not on the basis of isolated cases. Consequently, it takes no stretch of the Imagination to see how a business is forced to distribute Us earnings, to distribute them in good times when a comparatively small number of Us security owners need the funds and the result is obviously a shortage of reserve for that rainy day. In other words, a corporation is compelled to be a spendthrift or else pay a tax that is designed as a punishment i wont speak to me. Faired She (coming out on the piazza) What I Only you here?
