TOUGH GOING Chairman George of the Senate finance committee says that income tax rates must be lowered after the war, because at their, present, level; they would stifle initiative, and crush. business activities, Dewey has said the same thing.
So has everyone else. But before anyone gets too optimistic. about the matter, he would better glance at a few facts, which, will, be, in existence, at. the time when lower rates will be proposed, The, national debt by then will be not less than $300,000,000,000. Interest on that would be at least 500,000,000 a year, and amortization, at the low figure of, 1, per cent, an: other $3,000,000,000.
Debt, service, then, $10,500,000,000 a year for 8 starter. For some years we're going to maintain a big Army and Navy as Insurance against World War, III. Also we shall spend very heavily to rehabilitate. victims of this war. The cost of all this cannot be foretold intelligently now, but, 000,000 a year, for a time at least, seems a reasonable guess.
We have learned how, easy it is to spend. $6,000,000,000 a year for non military government. We. shall find it mighty hard to cut back those administrative costs. But let's assume that we do, as far as $5,000,000.000 a.
year. Let's ignore the probability of substantial relief and made-work expenses, and stop at this, point, with a $20,000,000,000 a year budget. which, unless we want to concede that the United States is insolvent, must be financed out of current income. That is as much as this country ever has raised up to the current fiscal year, For this year federal receipts from all sources are. expected to reach $41,000,000,000.
That is on, a national income estimated in the vicinity. of $150,000,000,000. But the greatest peacetime national income in. history, for, 1929, amounted only to $80,000,000,000. The current $150,000,000,000 year rate of national income certainly is grossly excessive by any peace time standard.
It is. based upon huge government war, spending. from the bottomless resource of deficit borrowing. How far it will drop when the war is over no one knows- -but it certainly will drop, a long way. To raise $20,000,000,000 a year out of the national income that will remain after, the war is going.
to call, for tax rates, not so terribly much, lower than we have right maintained a rate far closer to the $150,000,000,000 than anyone has a right to expect on the basis of past experience. All of which simply emphasizes that full employment and a high level of national income after the war are more than a desirable goal mthey, are a flat. necessity if. crushing income tax rates for the indefinite future are to be avoided. A lieutenant nurse returning from active duty on the Italian front asked first for a fresh slice of her mother's Irish bread.
I hope she got it. Ideologies, philosophies, patriotism, love of adventure, even resignation, to, the inevitable will sustain soldiers and sailors, nurses and WACs over long periods of deprivation. But all the time there is building up in each heart an overwhelming need to get back to something, It may be a wife, a child, a sweetheart. Or it may be a slice of mother's Irish bread, of old-fashioned brown, bread, or lemon, meringue pie. What are the boys fighting for? Often, for the privilege of staying at home within arm's reach, at all times, of a crock of homemade doughnuts.

The voice paused a moment, then resumed, seriously, somberly. "Every evening, you are used to hearing me over these stations, at this hour, giving you the latest news from the battlefronts of the world.
Again, the voice, paused. God groaned. He certainly didn't want to inflict war news on his people. "You don't have to listen that part," he advised them quickly. "Just wait till he gets to us, if he gets to us," he added nervously.
"But tonight, I'm not going to do that," the voice continued. "Tonight I'm going to tell you a story that I heard just 10 minutes ago." God held his breath, scarcely daring to hope. more. not sure," the voice say, it's a story. Maybe it's mitted simply.
"But if it is true, then it's a miracle a miracle which oceurred in our land, here, today, just a few hours ago." Little Phillip rushed eagerly to God, clasped him around the knees.
