1. Public ownership of natural resources ant! basic in
dustries,-to be operated by production technicians and
engineers, so as to ensure maximum employment,—with
labor and consumer representation.
2. Paying most costs of war by current taxation, based
on ability to pay, and benefits received from—Government
exempting the minimum income essential to hea'tii.
3. Government direction of farm production, and con
trol of processing and distribution of farm products with
direct payments where needed to marginal farmers.
4. Effective government control of prices and of qual
ity of essential consumer goods.
5. The initiation and participation of the L'nlted States
Government in international arrangements, sucti as the
control of atomic energy, money, credit, trade, natural re
sources and cartels, to prevent depressions and wars.
6. Opposing peacetime universal compulsory inilitarv
training.
1. The Surplus Property Administration stated Dec
ember 30, 1945:—“By July 1, 1946, it is estimated that
over §35 billion of property will have been declared sur
plus.
“T/n's is fice times the surplus resulting from World
W ar /.”
The Government now owns about half the nation’s ma
chine tool factory facilities, a tenth of its steel production
capacity, nearly all the synethetic rubber industry, and
three-fifths of aluminum capacity.
Ownership is Government, and unless the p;-^ple own
the productive and distributive agencies, fhey can neither
own the Government,—nor have an economy of abundance
2. There are about 60 million people in families re
ceiving a family income of less than §2,500; many famil
ies have less than §1,000.
The Federal Government can raise §35 billion a year,
for a few years, without taxing people with incon:cs below
a health minimum.
*
Corporation profits after taxes were 89 billion in 1945; i
will be baout as much in 1946.
In 1942,—78.2 percent,—nearly four-fifths.—of the j
88,911 million net income received by 380,5550 persons i
having incomes over 810,000,—was from ownership or
control of property.
In 1943, net savings of individuals were S35 hiiiion.
The larger the income, the larger the proportion from
ownership of property.
Sales tax and other consumption taxes are not needed.
All Government spending, and high prices, increase land
values. The selling price of land has increased about 825
billion during the war.
A 1^ tax upon present selling price of land,—with a low
exemption for small home and farm owners,—would yield
nearly 8750 million.
3. The Post-War Committee of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture states: “The agricultural production of the
United States should be adjusted to national requirements,
with due regard for export demand, and desirable profits”
Farmers as a whole, are getting their highest income, but
one-half get about 83%.
Direct Government payment to marginal farmers is the
most practical way to get needed farm products.
In Britain all processors and distributors of rarm prod
ucts are agencies of the Government, and all farm produc
tion is directed, by Gpvernment.
4. The cost of living, under present policies, will prob- j
ably increase about one-third, in a year or so.
CHESTER BOWLES, Price Administrator warns:—
“Unless ice can uin theijight in the next few months, we
shall condemn America to a brief period of false boom
followed by a shattering smash-up that will shake] our eco
nomy to its foundations.”
JOHN W. SNYDER, Director of Reconversion, told a
Senate Committee:—“We have to stand off inflation, which
remains a very real danger, and the false promises of in
flation are a danger just as great.”
Nearly
their dollar income only slightly.—if at all. so—
holding the price-line, and quality is, a part of price, is
vital to them, ^ wrrr u y, *ri*.
The Department of Labor reports the cost of living has |
increased about one-third during the war. It must be held j
there, and can be reduced. ■
The Office of Price Administration must be continued
for at least two years, with adequate appropriations.
Increasedi prices compel smalt income folks to pay much
of the war debt.
5. War can be prevented only by social ownership of
all basic industries, and international controls of natural
resources and other basic materials, of ocean borne com
merce, war equipment, markets and currencies.
The British Labor Party is committed to major social
ownership at home, and an Association of Nations, “the
collective authority of which must transcend in the econo ni
ic sphere, the rights of separate nations.”
Eight corporations out of eightv-five affiliated with in
ternational cartels, indicted by the Department of Justic'
for violation of anti-trust laws, have assets of abopt S5.65C
million; one-tenth of assets of all manufacturing corpor
ations.
International government by international cartels, still
threatens.
The practical alternative is social national and interna

6. The whole science of war has changed with the re
lease of atomic energy.—and the atomic ltomh. Trained
specialists.—not manpower, will be the basic of aggressive
as well as defensive war.
Use of force to restrain aggression, must be limited to
an international police force, which makes large national
armed forces a menace,—not a protection.
