(UPI Telephoto) Medford Tribune SECTION B MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, JANUARY 9, 1961 PAGES 1 to 8 Soundness of Tax Concession For Industry Frowned Upon By HENRY J. BECHTOLD UPI Financial Editor New York - IUPII - Tax con cessions are one of (he main attractions offered by many stales in their quest for new industry. In some areas these concesssi o n s reach a 100 per cent lax freedom for a certain amount of uenrv oechtoid years. A lead ing tax expert questions the soundness of this policy in the latest issue of Challenge mag azine, a monthly publication of New York University's in stitute of economic affairs. It ' cannot be proved that lax concessions or other sub sidies achieve their intended goal, according to Dr. Kenyon Poole, professor of economics at Northwestern University. He warned that unless there is some way to estimate fairly accurately the direct and in direct benefits and costs ol an industrial development pro gram there may be a tendency for the program to snowball excessively. ' Urges Careful Selection A very important aspect of the tax subsidy is the kind of industry and firm that is like ly to be induced to move in. Adding new industries blind- lv. Poole stated, does not necessarily improve the eco nomic structure of a state or municipality. He noted that firms that do not need subsidies may be willing to accept them, there by wasting tax money. And the so-called fly -"by - night firms may remain only long enough to use up the tax sub sidy and then move on.

Points lo Dangers If such a mistake is made, Poole said there would be a real possibility that an unduly large proportion of industry will consist of firms having some disadvantage, such as in ferior management, that they are trying to offset through lax subsidy. And the taxpayer who al ready is burdened with in creased taxes does not want industrial properly kept oft the lax rolls, even for a few years, unless very clear eco nomic benefits follow, the Northwestern professor said It also was pointed out that those areas fighting the emi gration of industry are not likely to find tax concessions successful in stimulating new industry. Their task is to try to offset the disadvantage that causes the emigration in the first place. V - ' By JACQUES SAUSTELLE Written for UPI Paris - IUPII - The national regrouping over which 1 pre side recommends that the French people vote "no" in the referendum. j First of all, because what they arc being asked to do is to approve a plan which is anti-constitutional. Articles 2 and 5 of the con stitution forbid any attack on the integrity of the national territory. The constitution gives an express mandate to the chief of slate to maintain this integrity of the "In divisible republic." It is a violation of this man date to authorize this same chief of state to separate the 12 departments of Algeria from the rest of the republic Ambiguous, Contradictory Next, in our eyes the ques tion which is being posed is ambiguous and contradictory. In fact, in the first part of the question the country is being asked to approve self-determination, that is to say lo leave a free choice to the Al gerians, while in the second part the proposal is made to set up institutions which, by forming the embryo of an Al gerian state, make this free choice impossible. Those who believe that vot ing "yes" would mean to has ten the return of peace will be profoundly disappointed. Not only does pursuit of the present policy present a risk of prolonging the conflict in Algeria itself, but more and more it creates and will cre ate a risk of world war, Strategic Platform In fact, the FLN, which is inextricably committed to Pciping and Moscow, could not do otherwise - if it were allowed to take over Algeria - than to give its Communist allies bases which would make this territory a strategic plat form of prime importance, dominating Spain, Italy and France. Europe, already cut in two by the Iron Curtain, will find itself isolated from Africa. Conditions thus would be ripe for a brutal thrust of Soviet imperialism, acting the same time from outside and from within, against the countries of western Europe. The loss of Algeria would throw a big fraction of our industries into unemployment, depriving them of an outlet for sonic 500 billion francs ($1 billion) a year, while hundreds of thousands of refugees would flock back to metro politan France. It is an illusion to imagine that guarantees can be given to non-Moslems in an inde pendent Algerian state. the millions of Europeans who live there from suffering the fate which overcame many Europeans when Morocco and Tunisia became independent. It is true that it is a ques tion of honor to now allow those Moslems who have com promised themselves for us to get their throats cut. Negotiations Difficult This means that negotia tions with the FLN will be dif ficult. But France has remained faithful to the tradition which has established its prestige in the world by granting inde pendence to i(s former colon ies in black Africa and Mada gascar. And she has also remained faithful to that traditior by declaring through the lip of Gen. dc Gaulle that the peo ple of Algeria will be able to decide Algeria's destiny free ly by referendum. If the French people should O The Soviets and Chinesa would give more and more ef fective aid to the FL.N. Gen. de Gaull down.

France would be isolated. But the reaction of the army to what might appear to be a success for the settler ex tremists could constitute a danger for internal peace. Communism could profit from (he troubles which would fullow. That is why the French peo ple should vole "yes."
