THE TOWNSEND PLAN IN A FADE-OUT
The admission by Dr. F\ E. Townsend himself that his
pension plan of $200 a month could be applied at first only
to those who u’ere 75 or older is a terrific blow to this Uto
pian scheme. Dr Townsend’s admission was made before a
House committee after an economist he had offered as a wit
ness in support of the pension idea had testified that the pro
posed 2 percent transaction tax would yield only 4 billion
dollars a year, and put up living costs nearly 11 percent at
that.
Dr. Townsend, in self-defense, says he hasn t deceived
anybody. Perhaps not, deliberately or consciously. But both
Dr. Townsend and the agitators for his fantastic program
have said repeatedly that it would apply to all who were 60
or above who met certain simple requirements. It has been
said from the same source that even that age limit soon would
be lowered and those several years under 60 brought within
the magic realm of benefits. It has been promised, and with
out qualification as to time, that a 2 percent tax on all busi
ness or money transactions would yield 200 billion a year,
with ever-enlarging revenues as the plan got its stride and
gained powerful and inevitable momentum.
The number of persons in the country who are 75 or
older is exceedingly small. On the basis of 4 billions in re
venue—and nobody knows how many years it would have
to remain at that figure or go even lower—considerably less
than 1million persons could receive payments. Yet to
provide for them, according to testimony submitted in behalf
of the Townsend scheme, would be to compel everybody in
the country to pay 10.6 percent more for food, clothing and
other necessities and to double the ordinary costs of the en
tire Federal government.
People who have been able to maintain their balance
in a time of stress, and especially the aged who are in genu
ine need of pensions, will find it profitable to look to a sane
security plan such as now is offered in the administration
program. The Townsend program stands condemned by its
own sponsors.—Kansas City Times.
NATIONAL ISOLATION DANGEROUS
The United States is probably big enough and strong
enough to withstand the attack of any group upon the shor
es of its 48 states. In spite of the cries of jingoists we doubt
if there is a combination of military strength in the world

today that could successfully invade and subdue the people
of this country.
However, there is more to be said on the subject of na
ational defense. Today, our people are struggling to set their
economic house in order and one of the important questions
is whether we shall retire within a nationalistic shell of self
sufficiency, with stringent regulations, or take a part in the
line of the world about us, share its trade and reap the bene
fit. Many contend that only through this latter course will
it be possible to maintain and broaden that favorite of ora
tors, “the American standard of living."
Cotton and wheat producers know what the outside
world can do to the prices they get for their farm products.
The suffering of the agricultural group in this country for
more than a decade can be attributed, largely to the absence
of foreign markets for their products. Once we go into a self
contained economy that market will be gone and, more than
likely, the rest of the world, seeing no opportunity for co
operative efforts with us, will get together among themselv
es, with the inevitable result that the United States will be
isolated.
This may be the best thing that can happen to the peop
le of the United States. Again, it may not be. Time will
toll, but in our opinion the people of the greatest nation in
the world cannot successfully emulate the example of the an
cient Chinese and live apart and aloof from the rest of the
globe, without paying a terrific price.—Exchange.
