All rights dispatches herein are also reserved. exclusively entitled to the use for dispatches credited to 1t or not paper, and also the local news of republication of special Social Security, Taxes THE STATEMENT which accompanied President Roosevelt's signature approving legislation freezing the social security payroll tax at 1 per cent for another: year suggests that he now sees a revision in this tax is necessary. He told congress that its next session must "thoroughly review the methods of financing" social security benefit payments. While he still felt that the rate increase should have taken place as was provided in the original legislation he, too, agrees that the whole system of levies should now be reexamined on the basis of our experience thus far.
In granting this the President agrees with the principal point which has been stressed by those who advocated the plan for freezing the tax at 1 per cent instead of pushing it up to 2 per cent. The main reason why the increase has been three times postponed previously is that congress has felt that the schedule of rate increases for financing social security benefits is unnecessarily high and the whole plan for building a huge reserve fund is not sound. When congress amended the social security act in 1939, it estimated that, with employer and employe tax rates raised to 2 per cent in 1943 and 1944, there would be $3 billion in the reserve fund at the end of this year and $5.7 billion by 1950. Although rates have been frozen at 1 per cent throughout this time the fund will actually have in it about $6 billion at the end of this year. This is twice as much as was deemed necessary by congress at this time and even more than it thought would be required by 1950.
The principal question is what payroll taxes are to be levied for today's benefits. It is generally agreed, as President Roosevelt pointed out in his message, that "as a nation we are committed to social security and will undoubtedly increase and not decrease its benefits." No one denies either of these points. Both political parties in the last campaign indorsed the social security program and urged its expansion. Gov. Dewey advocated that its benefits be extended to millions not now receiving them, and President Roosevelt supports much the same idea.
But neither continuance of the social security program nor the broadening of the base of the plan to include a larger part of the population is involved in the present debate on taxes. It is quite apparent that these plans can be undertaken on the basis of present revenues. The core of the problem is, how big should the contingent reserve fund be in order to protect the solvency of the plan? The treasury and conagreed that it should be three times "the gress highest prospective annual benefits in the ensuing five years." On that basis the fund is now about eight times this highest expenditure. War has increased the tax payments and decreased the claims presented under the plan, it is true, but that should not obscure the fact that the present schedule of rates needs revision in the light of experience. This action should not be taken as a negative step of freezing rates by which the debate centers around social security taxes as an easy means of raising revenue for the government when its need is great, but as part of a plan for building a sound social security program.
Where Do We Stand? DUBLICATION of the terms of the military economic alliance between France and Soviet Russia can hardly be called a step toward the system of world security organization at which our policy is being directed. Based on the principal of bilateral agreements between nations seeking to strengthen and secure their sovereignty behind postwar boundaries, the Franco-Russian treaty runs counter to the idea of collective security. It is not entirely incompatable with such a principle, however, since a world agreement would be superimposed on a whole system of existing bilateral agreements between nations. In general the terms of this latest treaty have been received in this country as inevitable in the present situation. An agreement between Russia a and France is welcomed as evidence that these two great powers are working together in the reconstruction of Europe.
This co-operation between France and Russia is essential for the future peace of Europe. Its signature, in reality, restores an old Franco-Russian alliance which existed previous to the present war. When France announced that it would not be bound by the terms of this old treaty before the war Russia was then forced to look toward Germany. Its revival now is a recognition that the experience which dictated the earlier Franco-Russian treaty is still valid and still requires such an agreement. If anything, this treaty and its terms should emphasize only one thing in this country.
We need to work for constructing a realistic international agreement out of Dumbarton Oaks. One of the reasons for bilateralism in Europe is 111- certainty over what American policy is going to be. Europe has not forgotten its experience after the last war when we dropped all effort at world co-operation to enforce peace after we had been the principal proponents of such co-operation. If we should repeat that performance, where would France and Russia be then? Obviously they are taking no chances and, are taking such steps as they see necessary to secure their own backyards. It we object to bilateralism we should not forget our own responsibility for its existence.
If we are convinced that co-operation of all like-minded nations of the world to enforce peace is the only real answer to the problems which have brought us into two wars in a single generation, we should make that policy on our part perfectly clear to Europe. THE TEMPTATION OF ESAU AROUND MINNESOTA By CHARLES B. CHENEY Popular Vote System Would Give Same Result FLEVEN electoral votes, Minnesota's quota, have been cast for President Roosevelt. More than half a million voters of this state marked their ballots for Thomas E. Dewey, but they are not represented in the electoral figures.
As after every election, we hear complaints about the unfairnesses of this system. Many think the total popular vote of the country should decide an election, without regard to state lines. One point made is that southern states, casting but a few votes in the general election, have a disproportionate voice in the electoral college. Minnesota, which cast 1,125,528 votes on of the house and now, by reason president, had 11 votes. Ala- of his long experience, a valued bama, with 244,743 votes cast member, won the recount in his Nov.
4, has the same number of three-county district. He was electoral votes. 115 votes ahead to start with. That sounds unfair, but sup- The recount gave him four more pose we took the popular vote votes in Mille Lacs county and 19 only. Roosevelt would have a more in Sherburne.
Kanabec's lead of 62,447 to his credit for vote was unchanged, and the Minnesota, but Alabama would give him a plus margin of 154,378 votes. Iowa, which also has 11 electors, went for Dewey by 47,391 margin. Iowa and Alabama are a stand off in the electoral college, but taking the vote, Roosevelt would be than 100,000 ahead in the states. Wisconsin and Georgia have 12 electoral votes. Wisconsin gave theirs to by only 24,119 plurality, Georgia gave Roosevelt a gin of 211,681.
Cheney Cheney Southern Advantage Obviously, taking the popular vote, the southern states would have even a greater advantage than they have now. Also, in case popular votes were the decisive factor, they would do better in getting out the vote in southern states. It is held down now by the poll tax and by disfranchisem*nt of Negro voters, but many just neglect to vote in the finals, because the real election, in the south, is the primary. The final election is a mere formality. They are not likely to do away with the electoral system.
There is too much fear of the big city votes and their possible domination, which was seen this year. Then, too, the small states would not readily give up the system which gives them two electors for each United States senator, the same as the largest states. Henry Rines, former speaker final Rines lead was 138. Rines figured once in a statewide recount. He was a candidate for state auditor in the 1914 primary.
J. A. O. Preus, afterward governor, led him by a small margin, and Rines contested. The recount did not cut the Preus margin, however, and it was dropped before all the counties had been checked.
Rines was elected state treasurer two years later, resigning that post in 1925 to become finance commissioner under the "big three" system. Robert B. Forrest, writing in the Lake Wilson Pilot, recalls the days when Rines served on the first "big three" under Gov. Christianson. "And what a tight bunch was that big three," says the Pilot old-timer.
"They trimmed everything from a Christmas tree to the budget and they saved the taxpayers a lot of money. If Henry Rines had only one-fifpart what he has saved tieth, state of Minnesota, he would be a wealthy man today." Twenty-five Cents The CIO man's remark that farmers should produce butterfat for 25 cents a pound means a wage scale of 25 cents an hour, says Carl E. Larson of Milaca. "Dairy and farm magazines," he writes, "usually figure that a pound of butterfat represents one hour of labor, on an average. So from this you can easily figure what the average dairy farmer's hourly wage is.
Labor's contention that butter should sell for 25 cents a pound is just another way of stating that the dairy farmer's wages should be 25 cents." WAS JUST SITTING HERE--By JACK WILSON Sen. Brewster Says Sen. Chandler Is Hoist on Own Petard: So What? WASHINGTON-I was sitting up in the senate press gallery Monday trying to distinguish one senator from another and Sen. Ralph Brewster, from Maine, said Sen. Happy Chandler, from Kentucky was hoist on his own petard.
Sen. Brewster said Sen. Chandler got himself hoist that way because he was bucking the state department nominations that President Roosevelt had made after Sen. Chandler supported him for re-election. I didn't hear what Sen.
Chandler had to say about it because just then a reporter, who was sitting beside me, asked me what was a petard. I said a petard was a guy who always was stirring up trouble, hence called a stormy petard, but he said I must be confused with stormy petrel and he never heard of anybody being hoist on his own stormy petrel. I said I thought petrel was what they called gas in England. Wilson He said stormy petrel didn't have anything to do with gas in England, because how could Sen. Chandler he hoist on some stormy English petrel just because he was against the state department nominations? He said Sen.
Chandler was and anybody could see that he a petard. I said, well, Sen. Brewster than we were, and maybe it was that the senator from Kentucky standing right there on the floor wasn't hoist on anything, especially was closer to Sen. Chandler very plain from where he stood was hoist. But this reporter said, well, if there were a petard 1 that was big enough to hoist Sen.
Chandler on, it would be pretty evident even from the press gallery, and he would bet the whole thing was just a figment of Sen. Brewster's imagination. I said, well, if Sen. Brewster's figment and Sen. Chandler's petard were the same thing, I couldn't understand why Sen.
Brewster would belonged to Sen. Chandler, because I never heard of a Maine Republican giving anything away to a Kentucky Dem- LETTERS TO THE TRIBUNE Protests Comment on French Morality To the Editor: I protest against persons who imply that the French are immoral. It seems that certain percannot comment upon the French without introducing this poison arrow of propaganda upon which to vent their spleen. I particularly protest against Gordon Gammack's nasty article of Nov. 29, in which he tries to arouse alarm in the hearts of American women over their men and to picture the French as indulging in heartless extravagance while the English suffer.

THE OF POTTAGE AREAS You WOULD SELL ME YOUR BIRTH RIGHT OF FREEDOM LEFT WinG PROMISES Gratur By THOMAS L. STOKES Explanation of Foreign Policy Urged WASHINGTON. EVERYWHERE our armies are on the offensive, but on the postwar peace front we have suddenly been put on the defensive on the vital issues for which those soldiers are fighting. This seems to sum up developments of the last few days, beginning with the British action in Italy and Greece which were followed by Prime Minister Churchill's announcement of the BritishRussian accord on the partition of Poland.
Washington is churned up over this as- Stokes Stokes sumption of the initiative by our allies. It has prompted demands on all sides for: An exercise of leadership by President Roosevelt, with: a restatement of our aims, our intentions and our policy. An explanation by President Roosevelt of Churchill's fident statement that the President was fully aware of the Polish decision, since it seems to be in conflict with Roosevelt's campaign utterances. A meeting as early as possible among the President, Churchill and Marshal Stalin to get some common understanding on policy for liberated countries before disillusionment sets in here in the United States, where isolationists are eagerly waiting to capitalize upon the familiar, "we told you so." President Roosevelt has been silent too long, it is felt here. There was, a few days ago, the statement of Secretary of State Stettinius on Italy and Greece, the reassertion of our traditional policy of non-interference with the form of governments in Europe, and then subsidence into a quiet that was exploded with Churchill's speech.
These developments have contributed to the senate's restive- ness. And the senate is important because it finally must ratify any treaties for postwar European adjustments. There is about Washington a feeling of uncertainty, of uneasiness, a feeling that our government is sort of groping around without any stable policy that it can tie to, or can ask the American people to tie to. Churchill, in his speech to the house of commons, expressed confidence that this country would bear in mind "the practical aspects" of all these matters and stressed how the failure of the three great powers to work together might damage hopes for the future structure of a world government. There are practical considera- tions.
The war lagged behind the liberation and the United Nations are confronted now, in the midst of the war, with complex problems in a number of spots which it was believed would not become so pressing that they could not the peace conferences, they await, could be adjusted with care and deliberation. Granting that is so, why can't President Roosevelt publicly take cognizance of this situation, explain it frankly to the American people, and depend upon their good sense to withhold hasty judgment? must be aware, knowing idealistic thee nature of the American people, which he has so often encouraged, that a great deal is at stake as regards the future.

Ray Wilsey, 61, White Bear Lake. The Home Front FOR GOODNESS about the SAKE, here is another fellow squawking greed and selfishness and the indifference and the complacency and I do not know what all else of the home front. This time it is Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, the old time flying fellow. For goodness sake, has Capt.
Rickenbacker been yachting around on that raft in the Pacific ocean all this time that he does not know of the sacrifice on the home front, like for instance the way people have to wait for things to come back from the cleaners? This is because so many of the cleaners' helpers have gone away to the war instead of Runyon staying home and helping with the cleaning, though how they expect us to have clean things, I am sure I do not know. This Friend of Mine A friend of mine in New York spilt some on his dinner jacket one night and it stain so the next day he sent the jacket cleaners. He asked them to get it back in a week as he had a dinner engagement ing up in a home where dress has always imperative. Well, on the appointed day my friend jacket had not been returned so he hurried cleaners and demanded to know what the wrong and the cleaners said they simply have the help to get the job done because war so my friend had to wear the jacket dinner with the wine stain showing as anything. It happened that among the diners were representatives of the guv'ment who had ing of certain war contracts from friend could have swiped a lot of guv'ment but they saw the wine stain and they said to themselves this guy is a social bum.
way, he lost the swiping privilege and has a permanent sense of humiliation the stain, and Captain Rickenbacker talks difference, for goodness sake. Snoopers at the Track It is plain that he does not know of the hardships undergone on the home front by the people who have to park their automobiles several blocks from a race track during the racing season and walk the rest of the way because snoopers are around to put the finger on them for using a little extra gasoline. I have another friend who always parks his car two blocks farther from the track than most patriots so anxious is he to help our boys over there, and one day last summer the extra distance cost him a fat daily double because he got to the doubles window just in time to get shut out. But did he get sore and park nearer to the racing yard? He did not. And Captain Rickenbacker talks of greed, for goodness sake.
Transportation Trouble I have no doubt he experienced some of the vexations of waiting while gliding about the ocean that time, but what about the way our people right here in New York have to wait for taxicabs on rainy nights because the war has cut down the number of cabs? If Captain Rickenbacker wants some first hand info on how the home front is making sacrifices he ought to try to get transportation by air, especially on that line of own, the Eastern have practically given up convenient and Airways, and he will soon learn. how us civilians pleasant form of travel in the interests of the war and because priorities are too tough to get, for goodness sake.
