Murphy,* Chairman, ' Another Cents Will Not Serve the Public Interest Popular insistence that something be done at once about an as yet non-existent recession seems to be rising from day to day. Various groups have sundry plafrts or schemes they think ought to be adopted by Congress and the White House. All are familiar enough. Pressure appears to be rising quite rapidly at the moment behind the de¬ mand for immediate and apparently quite indiscriminate tax reduction. It could well be that presently this par¬ ticular suggestion will occupy most of the stage. As an anti-cyclical device tax reduction has long been preferred by many authorities to increased Government spending since the latter is inevitably slow in getting under way and likely to be unfortunate in the choice of projects. The present situation is, however, unique by reason of the fact that there is no recession, and no certainty that there will be one in the early future. The complaint, rather, is that business has not moved forward as rapidly and as far as had been hoped or planned. *> 50 DIRECT Goodbody & Co.

The standard suggested by the CED is expressed in terms of the "high employment surplus" — that is, the jamount of surplus which the budget would show in a year of high 'employment. The CED suggests that we should plan our Federal budget to achieve a target "high employment surplus". If the target surplus is set too high, the CED suggests that the budget itself might contribute to preventing full employment from being reached. If it is set too low, the danger would be on the inflation¬ ary side. The proper size of the ? high employment surplus would depend on the strength of private demand, the availability of other policy instruments such as mone¬ tary policy, and other circum¬ stances which change from time and various proximately and 43 The San the minerals. 25% Ap¬ land the of n„ ac holding a prospectus.
