TWILIGHT OF UTOPIA
(New York Times)
High tide for the Townsend
movement was reached last De
cember when a supporter of the
plan in Michigan was elected to
Congress on the Republican tic
ket. But (he plan's good fortune
was its misfortune. As soon as
it threatened to make serious pro
gress it became worth while for
the country to examine it critic
ally and to lcok into its sponsor
ship. Since this scruitiny began,
the fortunes of the movement
have declined sadly. Robert E.
Clements, the co-founder, admit
ted a month ago before a House
committee that in a little more
than two years, as a direct result
of his connections with the move
ment, he had received in salaries,
dividends and expenses more
than $77,000. The admission was
irrevalent to the merits of the;
Townsend Plan, but it led many
persons to suspect that perhaps
its sponsors were not guided sole
ly by altruistic motives, and
hence they began examining the
plan itself in a somewhat less re
ligious spirit.
The testimony that Dr. Town
send has been giving tells noth
ing about the plan that critics
had not already pointed out. It
was obvious that a universal
transactions tax would have to
affect the farmer as well as every
body else, and that such a tax
could not be collected without
endless red tape and an army of
snoopers. When Dr. Townsend
admitted that under his plan a
workingman with a family and
a gross income of $1,500 would
have to pay the taxes so that a
single man over 60 with an in
come of $1,500 would receive
$900 additional, he merely con
ceded an implication that had
long been clear to the unsym
pathetic.
The good doctor, indeed, has
even conceded too much at times.
Asked: “Would you pay $200 a
month to J. P. Morgan, John D.;
Rockefeller and Andrew W. Mel-,
Ion, Henry Ford, William Ran- j
dolph Hearst, the DuPonts and
other such needy folks?” Dr.
Townsend said yes, there would
be no discrimination. This, in

deed, is In accordance with his
original plan. His advisers later,
j however, persuaded him to modi
fy it, and under the revised plan
any one with an independent in
i come of more than $200 a month
was not to get anything from the
plan, while those with indendent
incomes of less than that were
to receive only the difference.
This revision was important pol
itically. But when Dr. Townsend
gets an idea, he holds on to it.
He has now forgotten or repudiat
ed this sagacious revision. After
his plan has been bombarded by
two years of annihilating criti
cism, he is still convinced that it
has no kind of fault or flaw. His
followers, more fickle, alas! are
melting away.
