Pearson has come “With a stunning election platform and it w gyeem about a year too late, Have used Mr, Pearson's up ould The Liberal party could talents as a leader long ere this and had it done go it might have returned the Harty to office last June. Mackenzie King in all his Wears of toadying to the province of Quebee and Mr, St Laurent with all his fatherly administration never brought forth a bribe to equal the one Mr. Rearson now dangles before everyone, * Indeed, everyone appears included in Mr. Pear- son's plans... . low bracket Wage-earners, small businesses, newly-weds, car buyers, university stu- dents and municipalities. With 4,000 a year exemp- tion for newly-weds for the first three years of mar- viage, it would almost make it worthwhile for a tax- burdened husband to divorce his wife, marry her again and go ona second honeymoon with the tax rebate, In‘any case it is certain to hasten a lot of Weddings that have been held-up for lack of funds, 4 There are a great many attractive points in Mr. Rearson’s platform. The aid to university students ig most praiseworthy, the 25 per cent tax cuts cannot hely but win favor and small businesses would love the Liberal party if all this were to be brought home. ' Serious study of this amazing platform is nec- ebsary, however. This is the same party that intro- diced the “tight money” policy, that restricted cred- it, that retained the 19 per cent excise tax on automo- bales, that urged home-owners and low bracket wage eginers to put more savings in the bank and not bor- rpw so much. : This is the same party that has been screaming against Conservative government expeditures, After aysojourn at a secret retreat, obviously with his fairy godmother, Mr. Pearson is going to change all this. fe is going to launch a program necessitating a bud- get deficit of $400,000,000 a year. And what then? Back in power, the following year the Liberals would start building up a gigantic surplus again with in- creased income taxes, excise taxes, reduction of grants and a retightening of credit curbs. Mr. Pear- son's platform needs examining for knotholes. Diminishing Returns ALES of midget cars are believed to be nearly 5 per cent of the diminishing total of all car sales right now, . This estimated percentage includes the Ameri- ‘an-made Rambler as well as foreign small car im- ports. It’s close to the figure that presumably would interest the major domestic manufacturers in tool- ing up for small car production, Zooming small car sales at a time when big car sales are slowing down suggests that American motorists are becoming economy conscious at long last. Suggested also is a possible point of diminish- ing returns in gasoline tax boosts to finance ever ex- panding road projects, Higher taxes won't produce more revenue if their only effect is to put’ more of these little puddle jumpers on the road. —Duily Ok lahoman. ¢ ? 9 World’s Number One Money In any typical week, the more than 8,000 employees of American Express, scattered in 939 offices in 36 countries, are likely to be involved in a wide variety of assignments, As guardian angel to travelers in trouble or American Express and ity employees seemingly insuperable travel v difficulties, To keep their traveling cus- tomers happy, American Express sometimes goes to great lengths, Like the time a sick man on one of their around-the-world cruises asked if he could sea Mt.
