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.

This, the tax expert de
clared, means that the tax
exemption program cannot be
allowed to run by itself year
after year without regard to
changing economic circum
stances.
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.

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

mean a rupture on the Alger
ian problem with our friends
in the world and with the
slates of black Africa and
Madagascar which have just
affirmed their solidarity with
France by voting against the
FLN motion at the United
Nations.
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."
