: Scarcity Economics
Plan Criticized
By Vice President
: SEATTLE; Feb. Lashing
out at pressure groups without a
national viewpoint and at what
he termed as a Wall street practice
of scarcity 4 economics. Vice Pre
sident Henry A. Wallace tonight
warned that fso called hard
headed business men will exist af
ter this world war" and "we must
not let them; lead the world astray
again j ,
He' asked! for a postwar policy
of maximum use of all resources
in the service; of the general wel
fare. . .
Wallace defined the scarcity-ec
onomics theory as "the dead hand
of the past trying to make a profit
for a few by; blocking" the pro-
- m t . m .
ress 01 Dusmess engagea in Den
efitting alL j "
Current practices in Russia were
cited favorably by the vice presi
dent in his address scheduled for
delivery at a ; meeting sponsored
by democratic,- civic and labor
groups. 7
Wallace declared the Russians
couldn't understand how the Unit
ed States could ' get along with
out giving workers incentives,
such as large cash prizes for going
beyond their quotas.
"That the! Russians could go so
far in the past 20 years and evoke
such an extraordinary response
from the people in time of stress
is the greatest 'indictment I know
of the scarcity economics prac
ticed by those who believe that
profit and free enterprise are on
ly for the few.'
"We are hot going to use the
whole Russian political - and econ
omic systeni here in the United
States," he added. "It was made
for Russia and not for us.
"But the system of rewarding
men for inventing improvements
on their own jobs is already well
established j in some progressive
American Industries. Once the
management and the workers
learn to trust each other and to
work together, ' it is proved that
they can get a spectacular increase
of output." j
On international trade, the-vice
president outlined a system of
barter, to replace certain systems
of prewar international finance
whereby, for example, . if Russia
wanted machine "tools after this
war she wduld pay for them' in
terms of mahganese and platinum
of which she has a surplus.
"One of the best ways to' make
suae that there will not be another
war is to build up, in all the peace
ful countries. ,01 thew;orld,, such
large supplies of the materials of
which each is short, that no friend
ly nation anywhere in the world
will ; ever be caught helpless by
sudden attack," he declared.
He forecast that one of the big
jobs ahead pould be in" supplying
a necessary standard of living in
this - country! which would ; be at
least 40 per cent higher than it
was prior to the war, but "we
business busts." '
On individual income taxes: he
said there was little doubt that
the nation Would have to continue
with heavy, steeply graduated per
sonal .income taxes after the war.
i For corporations: he asked for
a tax policy to force corporation
savings, beyond legitimate needs,
into the building of plants and
new equipment or Into distribu
tion as dividends. ; -
He also called for a department
of justice big stick after the war
to. convince every monopoly group
that in the future its welfare could
be served only by all-out produc
tion which served the welfare of
all. T ! ' -V ;'V
On post-war trade, he said: ev
entually there will be more trade
across the Pacific than there once
was across the Atlantic.
He forecast a "profound revo
lution, partly as a result of the
aftermath of two great wars -and
partly a result of 150 years of
modern technology and democrat
ic thinking about the rights and
duties of man.";
Such a revolution, the vice pre
sident he believed, would be gra
dual and bloodless if the makers
ef public opinion would influence
their followers in behalf of the
public good) instead of regional
and class prejudices.
Wallace said the nation must
have full employment and its
peacetime system ready to begin
its march the moment the wartime
system slackens. '7
"Halfway j measures will pro
duce chaos, , he; declared.
