Catholic Thought And Opinion
By REV. JOSEPH F. DONNELLY
PROMOTING TIIK WELFARE
OF THE PEOPLE.
Th* Founding Father wrote these
words into their Declaration of In
dependence:
■•We hold these truth* to be self
evident, that all men arc created
equal, that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain unalien
able rights, that
among these are
Life, Liberty and
the Pursuit of
Happiness. That
to secure these
rights govern
ments are Insti
tuted among
m e n. deriving
their Just pow
ers, from the
consent of the
governed. That
whenever any
form of govern
mnit becomes
Rev. J. Donnelly destructive of
these ends, it is the right of the
people to alter or abolish it, and to
Institute new Government laying its
foundations on such principles and
organizing Its powers in such form,
ss to them shall seem most likely to
effect their Safety and Happiness."
In the Preamble to the Constitu
tion they wrote that one of the ends
of that instrument was "to pro
mote the general welfare.”
Prom both sources we have an
' explicit statement that the purpose
of government Is to secure for all
of the people their rights to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happi
ness.

ERROR OF THE FAST
Otic of the great errors Uiat dom
inate the economic lilc of the eight
eenth century In our country was the
notion that government should keep
out of economic life. It was ex
pressed in that catch phrase; "That
government is best which governs
least." It made the government a
policeman who should preserve law
and order so that each individual
might be free to pursue his par
ticular economic objective.
But Leo XIII wrote; "Whenever
the general Interest of any par
ticular class suffers, or is threat
ened with, evils which can in no
other way be met. the public au
thority must step in to meet them."
In other countries the reaction
came sooner, but in our country
wc officially rejected this false no
tion in 1932. The government must
protect and promote the general1
welfare. In other countries govern
ments went to the other extreme;
they would not simply Interfere to
protect the welfare of the people
but they insisted on regulating
everything, and we had the up
surge of the totalitarian states. In
our country in the early thirties wc
hud to give the Government emer
gency powers to cope witli the great
depression. In the late thirties wc
were trying to decide how much
power must be left to the State
when war came and again we said
the slate must gear nil that is
necessary to the winning of the war.
THE PROBLEM
The problem ahead of us, both
now and at the end of the war, Is
the decision on how much we must
leave to the Government and how
much the jicople can do themselves.
The rule that will guide as must
be the promotion of the common
welfare, by the people themselves,
where passible and through organ
izations directed to that end, but
where necessary, through the direct
action of the Government.
THE GENERAL WELFARE
Essential to the general welfare
Is the opportunity of a decent hu
man life for each and for all of
the people, and It Is sound Catholic
• ocinl teaching that, not only is it
the right, but it is the duty of the
state to provide for all the needs of
a decent life for the people when
the economic life of the nation eith
er cannot or will not provide it.
So many make loose charges of
socialism to propose legislated so
Uitll WIWO <WIHU IHU.TL UJll’Jl JIUVU |
come the duty of the state because i
of the selfishness and injustice of'
our social order.
Our duty in life Is to save our
souls and get back to Gcd through
the practice of a good moral life.
Morality does not thrive In poverty
and insecurity. Many times these
make it morally impossible for some
to live a decent life. Then it be
comes the moral duty of the state
to legislate away such evils.
VVIIAT ENGLAND DOES
In legislating for the assistance of
the underprivileged we In America
have made great strides in recent
years. We may have a long way to
go, however, if the social provisions
of England are an Indication.
There nine persons out of ten are
insured against sickness and unem
ployment, and the first provisions
of this kind In England were made
In 1911.
A national health insurance plan
gives free medical treatment and
medicine and allows the patient to
choose his own doctor. There are
maternity benefits and sickness and
inability benefits for those who
cannot work.
There has been a school medical
service there for 35 years. Since
1906 free meals have been served to
school children. Today one child in
five receives such meals and eight
out of every ten receive milk at
school. The national government
meets 95 per cent of this cost.
Housing projects have rehoused
one-third of the population since
1919 and rents arc adjusted down
ward to meet the sire of the fam
ilies.
Large tracts of land have been
bought for the recreational uses of
the people.
The blind arc given a pension at
40.
And all this ante-dated the war.
Today those who have been perma
nently Injured In alr-ralds get pen
sions and private property loses are
covered by compulsory insurance.
In 1890 the annual expenditure
per head for social services was $3;
in 1936 It was $40. Almost 10 per
cent of the national Income went
for such services in 1937.

Shortages On Front
Likely Says Byrnes
_
War Production Must Improve Sharply in Coming |
Weeks to Avert t hreatened Handicaps
By JOSEPH LAITIN
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington, Jan. 2--<UP> —
James F. Byrnes, War Mobilization
Director, warned today that Amer
ica's front-line fighting men may
run short of supplies "in a few
weeks” unless the home front de
votes undivided attention to war
production.
Byrnes told President Roosevelt
QUIET NEW YEAR’S
OBSERVED HERE
Factories Maintain War
Tempo; Festive Spirit
Noticeably Absent
Steeled for a stent year of war,
Waterburians today took up the
reins of Industry, after observing
one of the solemnest New Year's
day ever remembered. A steady
rainpour and high winds enhanced
the somberness of the holiday, since
few people ventured forth to pay
New Year calls.
Except for church attendance
when residents of the Brass City
offered prayers for the 10,000 men
and women in service, the day
did not differ from any other day
for most residents.
Thousands of war workers at the
American Brass Co., Chase Brass
and Copper Co,, and Scovill's re
ported for work as usual, to meet
urgent, orders for huge quantities
of additional brass and shell cases.
Other Brass City plants that op
erated yesterday were the Benrus
Watch Co., Inc,, Waterbary Par
rr*I FVmrvIrv nnrl Marhlno f!n Wi»
terbury Buckle Co., Waterbury Com
panies, In",, U. S. Time Corp. and
Lux Cloock Mfg. Co. Several de
partments in other plants also
worked to meet orders or to take
Inventory.
Holiday travel was light, it was
reported, except for New York bound
trains which were filled with holi
day visitors.
Only the somber chimes irom the
clock on St. John's church belfry,
followed half a minute later by the
lusty peal of church bells from all
parts of the city, marked the usher
ing in of the Nw Year here Satur
day night. Except for a few revelers
who tooted an automobile horn or
clanged a nolsemaker. a dismal
quietness shrouded the city. Curious
residents, who came down to the
center, imping for a little excite
ment, stood in store fronts seeking
shelter from a cold rain and return
ed home shortly past midnight, sad
ly dlsappointd that the gaycty of
former New Year’s was lacking irom
the familiar scene.
The state ruling prohibiting the
sale of liquors between 9 p. m. and
midnight kept Waterburiuns close
to their home fire for most part. It
would seem that local residents,
whose spirits have been bogged
down by recent reverses in the Eu
ropean theater of war, did not even
have the heart for home nipping,
since few home parties were held.
Except for record crowds which
attended the midnight perform
ances at local theaters, and the an
nual New Year s dance at the Y. M.
C. A , most Walcrburians remained
close by their radios to hear reports
of merrymaking in Times Square.
Though restauranteurs and inn
keepers set a precedent by closing
their doors promptly at 9 p ,m„
more than the average number ot
people dined out Saturday evening,
they reported. Pew proprietors ex
pressed disappointment that they
could not keep open during New
Year s eve. Most people, they ex
plained had little heart for cele
brating. Waiters and wlaresses. it
was reported, welcome a night off.
; and the incoming Congress in a
i lio.ouo word report that mobilization
i of this country's industrial and
, manpower resources was still in
complete despite the fact that 1944
I arms production equalled the to
| (til output of all other countries
j combined.
"The German counter-attack
; through the First Army positions
has convinced us thut we can win
this war only by the all-out efforts
of the American people—that we
could not pursue an all-out pro
duction effort while simultaneously
releasing materials, facilities and
manpower for civilian production,"
he declared.
“Our soldiers at the front today
are not short of ammunition and
supplies as result of any produc
tion failures,” Byrms slad. "How
ever, they may be short a few weeks
hence if we fall. If they are to
freely use what they now have in
order to save human lives, they
must know that more, in abun
dance, is on the way.”
Byrnes’ report, one of the most,
comprehensive ever issued on the
status of the war program at home,
covered the need for stronger man
power controls, Increased authority
for the War Labor Board, the status
of the food program and the fight
against Inflation. His manpower
recommendations included a pro
posed draft of 4-F's not In essential
work.
"Our forces in the field need
more guns, more ammunition, more
trucks, more tires, more ships, more
airplanes, more rockets and more
men to finish the Job which they
have done so well to date," Byrnes
said.
Byrnes would not predict how
long the war would continue but
said he felt compelled to direct the
government's home effort to the
mAintonanrp nf nll-nnt war nrnrliu*.
tlon.
"We cannot be complacent yet,"
he wild.
Byrnes sounded the death knell for
civilian reconversion production
while the nation is engaged In a
two-front war and scofied at the
idea that civilians had suffered in
conveniences from war-caused
shortages.
Admitting that the government
had made “one too early start" on
reconversion last summer. Byrnes
said that it had been necessary
since that time to "undo what had
been done" in order to make the
public fully aware of the pressing
need for more munitions.
He reassured the President and
Congress that "we are ready to
move quickly" on partial reconver
sion the day Germany is defeated
but until that day, lie added, war
requirements must get the country s
1'ujidlvided attenlion."
Byir.es urged extension of the
stabilization act controlling wages
and prices to June. 1946. to help
guard against inflation or deflation
during the transition period, when
the danger would be greatest.
He noted that consumers now
have *40.000.000,000 in cash and
war bonds, much of it represent
ing a potential demand for auto
mobiles, refrigerators and other
goods. This situation, he warned,
can force prices up unless there is
adequate provision for price con
trol.
INCREASING EGG PRODUCTION
Farmers report that electric light- i
ing and electrically warming the
drinking water for |>oultry floeks
"step up" win ter-time poultry
profits through Increased egg pro
duction.
MAGNET LIFTS 120,000 POUNDS
The most powerlul electro-magnet
known up t 1830 could lift only nine
nine pound,s. That year Joseph
Henry devised one capable of lift
ing 750 pounds. Today's magnets
can lift 130,000 pound*.

New Yolk .Ian. 2 —lUPl—The
key to the outlook for commodity
markets In IRAS Is locked up In the
uncertainty of ‘he war's duration
am1 future government price con
trol policies, according to market j
experts.
Legislation, highlighted by pas- ;
sage of the Bankhead amendment ;
In revised price control bill, assur- j
lng a "full parity” return to pro
ducers, took first place over t'e-!
mantl.i In elevating prices to new
higlis In 1944.
Cotton, the outstanding perfor
mer, rose to a new 16-year peak at
22:75 cents a jiound. Wheat held
around the 15-ycnr peaks; steers
climbed to the highest level since
1937. while wool tops pressed hard
against the OPA ceiling price of
*1 34 a pound
But much of the .significance of
the rise was lost sight of In the
welter of discussion on problems
likely to arise In the post-war tran
sition period. Most vexing topics
included: subsidies, export quotas,
disposal of war surplus material,
foreign exchange regulations, crop
production control, government
loans, cartels, likely termination of
lend-lease, and adjustment of ceil
ing prices.
Seek Reopening of Future Markets
Agitation for a resumption of
trading in futures markets, as soon
as possible after the war took a
bold step forward In the closing
days of the year. A recommenda
tion at the International Business
Conference at Rye, N. Y., urged
their opening as a means toward
aiding international trade.
"The role of British people as in
ternational traders,” the Hon. Mac
kenzie Hay, chairman of the Brit
ish Federation of Commodity and
Allied Trade Associations, declared,
"hinges on the reestablishment of
futures markets in commodities."
The Federation, which is the conn
terpart of the National Association
of Commodity Exchange, and Al
lied Traders, Inc., here, and formed
about a year bro to work for re
newed futures trading, embraces 43
or practically all, of the organized
markets in Britain.
Confidence in the eventual re
opening of futures markets was
seen in the steady appreciation in
value of various New York ex
change memberships over the past
year, even in the organizations
where trading has been at a stand
still since shortly alter Pearl Har
bor. For instance. New York Cot
ton Exchange seats, from the post
Pearl Harbor low of $2,700 rose to
$6,000. The New York Coffee and
Sugar Exchange saw ILs member
ships rise lrom $3f>0 to $2,150; New
York Cocoat Exchange from $400 to
$1,700, and Commodity Exchange.
Inc., from $435 to $1,900
Some Spot Markets Restored
In the spot markets, Jute and
shellacp robably had the distinc
tion of being the first commodities
to go back to private enterprise.
Similar steps- for burlap were under
discussion as the year closed. While
still operating under ceiling prices,
the actual handling of imports,
storage and distribution lias been
put back in private hands.
Government floor and ceiling
prices for cotton and wheat, it was
pointed out, may provide price sta
bility at the source of supply, but.
processors and manufactures will
need hedging facilities—a form of
or ice Insurance—against inventory
positions. Bankers with loans out
standing against raw materials in
processors' hands may be lenient
now but in the event of a sudden
cessation of hostilities, they may
calif or the "laying off’ of some of
the risk through the medium of
hedging.
Events in the Pacific in 1945
could have important repercussions.
Recapture of the Philippines and
liberations of the East Indies, bar
ring heavy war-inflicted damage to
plantations and machinery, could
reopen new large-scale sources of
supply for presently short-rationed
commodities such as sugar, veget
able oils, rubber, spices, tin, tea,
and hemp.
YOllR FEDERAL INCOME
TAX
No. 1
OlIR INCOME TAX
SYSTEM
your income tax is a major part
of the Federal Government’s meth
od of paying for the war and all
other governmental coats. It is fig
ured by subtracting various exemp
tions and deductions from your in
come and talcing percentages of the
remainder. It is based on your tax
able income from all sources, in- j
eluding wages, salaries, bonuses,
commissions, business profits, divi- j
riends, Interest, rent, and royalties
The individual income tax on 1944
Income includes a normal tax ' of
1 percent and also a "surtax" which
begins ut 20 percent and increases
by steps (frequently called bracketsi
to successively higher percentages
[or larger amounts of income. The
victory tax which was in elfect In
1943 has been repealed. The norma
tax and surtax are now the taxes
for which an annual income tax
’return" must be filed on or before
March 15, 1945.
“Under the "pay-as-you-go" sys
tem now in effect, part or all of the
Federal income taxes of most em
ployes was withheld from their
wages during 1944 and turned over |
,o the Treasury by employers. Num
erous employes thus had their tax
es paid up In full before the end of
die year. Individuals who were not
cepf substantially paid up by the
wage withholding were required to
nake additional payments on the
jasis of "declarations" of estimated
tax.
However, since both ol these
,ypes of payments were only ap
proximate. it is still uecestsary af
ter the end of the year 1944 to file
i "return"—ns a general rule, not
atcr than March 15—in order to
Jeterntlne the amount of the eor
■ect tax. Persons who file regular
•cturns will compute their own tax

ban $5,000 Income may elect to
