Getting the federal government out of business enterprises it operates without constitutional authority would eliminate these staggering yearly losses. A NON-JNFLATIO- PAY NARY RAISE Giving Continued from page 4 FOR ALL The 1979 Budget shows that 58 of federal revenue will come from income taxes. Another 12 will come from borrowing which will increase inflation. These two items add up to half of federal spending. If spending were cut more than 50, the need for the income tax (16th) amendment would be ended. If federal spending were cut more than 50 not only could the income tax be repealed but federal borrowing would cease. Adoption, of the .Liberty Amendment, by repealing the income tax, would eliminate the federal withholding tax that takes such a' bite out of every paycheck. Workers would then receive about 20 more take-hopay without any change in their rate of pay. This increased purchasing power would stimulate production and make the economy boom. There' would be a demand for new plants, better machinery, more crops, more raw materials and more finished products to meet the accelerated purchasing power. When the federal government is compelled by passage of the Liberty Amendment to sell its "businesses" which it is operating with tax subsidies to make up for their losses, these businesses, under private ownership will be far more efficient, and will go on the tax rolls. Excise and corporation taxes, duties, imposts, and other miscellaneous taxes will provide ample revenue to provide for national defense and 'other legitimate activities specified in the UJS.

What goes against the grain for almost anyone you talk to is giving to our our technological know-hois it still enemies. And going on, as it has ever since World War II . . . and it's hurting us today. Americans, eyeing short-terprofits, have virtually given away basic technical knowledge that the communist nations are now using as an economic weapon which reduces American jobs, industrial production and living standards. Most commentators concerning themselves with the problem vent their spleen on Japan. The argument is that when we sell our basic know-hoabroad and it comes back with tremendous impact on our economy, then the government has to step in. Well, of course.

Now, the industrial development of Japan. Taiwan and West Germany may be surpassed by the oil producing nations which have accumulated the wealth to buy technology on an unprecedented scale. Says one knowledgeable observer in Washington: "Saudi Arabia is importing large amounts of know-hogoods and services from us and others, and this large-scal- e transfer of technology could well reshape the economic map of the world." This is probably true, for the huge jump in oil prices in 1973 resulted mainly from American petroleum companies transferring their knowledge to the Arabs. But what is more important, and is largely ignored by the national press or even the public relations flacks of the major companies involved, is the sale and transfer of our knowledge and technical expertise to the communists. With the Japanese and the West Germans we were, in a sense, supporting American interests, ideologically if not economically. But what in God's name forces us to sell our secrets to the communists . . . who will use the information against us, and never even deny that's exactly what they ' arc doing? Short term profits over long term national interests are something the government could well get interested in. But if you talk to the State Department, there is no difference between the Soviet Union and its satellite nations. Red China. Cuba and the Marxist Third World and the Free Enterprise nations of Free China on Taiwan. Japan, West Germany and Latin America. They all have dollars to send home to America.
