Emphasizing that the primary interests of business men are in harmony with those of Americans as a whole, Julian E. McGiffert last night challenged Lehigh" Valley industrial and professional leaders to become thoroughly familiar with legislation and to constantly press for the basic principles in which they believe. Those principles, Easton business man said when he spoke to an area Chamber of Commerce meeting at the Americus hotel, include the belief that the superior living standards Americans enjoy are basically due to the historic system of higher rewards for individual achievement. Recent trends of legislation and of social and economic philosophy, he said, have progressively been undermining this cornerstone of America's heritage.

Mr. McGiffert, president of the Dixie Cup shared the business men's panel with Truman D. Weller. national affairs advisor of the United States Chamber of Commerce, and Donald Marcellus, manager of the northeastern division of the national Chamber. The conference on national affairs was sponsored by Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trades in Allentown, Bangor, Bath, Bethlehem, Catasauqua, Easton, Ern-maus, Hellertown, Nazareth, Northampton, Perkasie, Phillipsburg, Portland, Quakertown, Slatington, Stroudsburg and Wind Gap.

Fred F. Kramer president of the Allentown Chamber of Commerce, presided. American standards of living, surpassing on every level those in au other parts of the world, Mr. Mc-Giffort said, are the result of the great central principle that the individual is all-important and that his opportunity to make the most of his talents shall be unlimited except to the extent necessary to ensure corresponding freedom for his fellows. A part of that belief, he pointed out, is that the individual should be stimulated by hope of high reward for achievement or fear of unwelcome penalty if he fails pull his full weight.

"By near-confiscatory taxes upon incomes in the higher brackets and punishingly heavy rates even upon the middle ranges we have all but eliminated the reward- motivation of the very groups upon whose abilities we are chiefly dependent for economic leadership," he declared. "At the other end of the economic scale there has been a sharp reduction of the spur to better effort through the broad dissemination of the vicious doctrine that the world owes every American a living whether or not he pulls his weight. This has caused miUions of Americans to be unconcerned or" only mildly concerned whether they work hard enough or well enough to be self supporting." Emphasizing the important role business men must play in preserving the American system he espoused, he said that everybody benefits when business flourishes and progresses; that everybody suffers when it doesn't. Mr. Weller, who outlined measures now before Congress, stressed the importance of labor and tax measures.

He warned that unless the labor bill now being compromised by the Senate and the House become law, there will be no labor legislation at this ses ported the following temperatures for Wednesday: High Low Allentown 87 57 Boston ....79 58 Chicago 48 42 Cleveland 81. 55 Denver 37 83 Miami 86 74 New York t. 78 61 Philadelphia 86 60 Pittsburgh 85 53 St. Louis 86 61 Pa, Thursday, May 29, 1947 5 Into the work they died to do."
