Under this arrangement, half of their salaries- will be tax free. Further in the tax arena, tfie Belgians allow American corporations to deduct one year's taxes from _next year's payments. Companies taking advantage of tax and loan deals include Standard Oil of Indiana.

American companies get real estate tax exemptions, land sites at cut prices and special rebates and other benefits if they export their product to the United States. , ,; .. ·l l ;. " .

As· such it is .an eff~rt to 'bypass payment of American wages, taxes and other regulation, while selling to the A~erican consumer. ... . In ·this: category,_for example, are the. American _tuna fish pr'?cess01;s, who· se·t up bu~iness in A~erican Samoa, paying to American ; business executives. These ·concessions, ·. incidentally, are over and above those given to native business, _and cannot . normally: be expected to make Americans Qver-popular. . In some respects, these European concessions resemble the type· of ·offering· ptit out by ·inany.'t:owns an4 '(Usfricts · in rural areas of the ·US seeking to atfrac( btisiness.

And; of course; the runaway still paid the same Federal taxes and was subject to the same Federal wage and -hour laws no matter where he located in the continental US. , The . beauty of the foreign 1~·cation, from tlie businessman's viewpoint, is that it · puts America ii business out of the reach of Federal re,gulation. : '" - • • .• ' ~ I • The Netherlands gives up to 50 percent off on land, normally worth up to $13,000 an acre, fast tax write-offs which reduce taxes tr.emendously, cheap loans and construction subsidies on factories. As a result, the Institute for DutchAmerican Industrial Cooperation, a gov. ernment-sponsored agency, claims 'it has gotten 105 American companies to settle there and is contacting 160 others . • Southern Italy is the best yet for "fabulous financing," the newspaper 0 says. A government cievefopment corporation grants" credits of up to 8Q percent of the cost of starting a business, gives the remaining' 20 'percent as a gift, supplies working capital and doe's not require any interest ' payments on the loans for three yeai:s. The entire package comes with a ten-year tax exemption. These are some of the basic proV'isions offered ·to American firms, but acfualiy, they are just the beginning, b~cause American businessmen have recognized wag.e~ in, tli.~ vi~.inity c:i,f · 35 t~ · 40 ce.n !s . that they can negotiate special conces.. ~~~iU!~~,'.'-t~e p~arit-:t\!Ii&iri.tction over~fi?as · an · .hour to· escape union contracts · and " sio.ns over and beyond the regular ' ones. ·1~. ~~~t~fie.d ,.qi} :!.r e gtou~ds that it e~conditions in: California, wher-: SIU .Fis.~" .Among the special conce$sions that have ables American ·business to compete in .-- and :canne:ry Unions . ha.ve fong-_"estaboeen granted are secret income tax re., . ··r." ~ . .

Most ·c o's wASHINGTON-Hopes of unsubsidized ste~mship companies for any substantial Gov.. ernment ·as~istan.ce this year have been dashed by President Eisenhower's budget proposals: The budget would -set a limit 0£ 2,190 voyages under operating subsidY., barring_ :virtually .. ' . . every applicant on the deep., . . would be $150 million. That~s ac- years. At present, the operators sea runs. - tually less than the $.128 millio!l . are suppo..sed to replace ~eir ships At present there. are 1,975 plus a $22 million supplemental ap- at 2!) year int~rvals~ vayages subsidized. The budget proposal would cover a total of 2,190 voyages. However, Maritime has approved applications for 50 voyages on the Lakes alone and at least 25 more have been rese~vesI for new operators on the Lakes. That would leave· a maximum of 140 voyages ayailable for five subsidy applicants-Isbrandtsen, Wa. ·terman, .JS'thrnian, States · Marine and' Prudentil!l-to say nothing of existing subsidi~ed companies who are seeking more trade route coverage . . . Actually, if all 't he applicants were accnmmodated on ·all the voyages they asked for, it would -require a total ·of "' abou.t 2,700 voyages, a:most a third more than the budget provid~s for. Waterman, for example, has applied for 144 voyages and States Marine for 168. In effect then, if these companies meet all the requirements for a subs'. dy, the Maritime Administration will be ·u nable to sign subsidy . cont racts with them for lack of fun!,ls. · . This would leave the American merchant marine in its existing status of having a small group of · ' · co,mp.anies receiving all the benefits of a subsid;;r and the rest of the nation's merchant fleet on the outs:de looking in.. . Underscoring the determination of the Administration to block -any expansion of the subsidy program, Mari.time has ~equested almost exactly the same amounts as were voted last year for this purpose. The consrruction .subsidies would be limited to 14 new ships, the same as in the current year, and $129 .million. Operating subsidies .. .. .Mates Ok.ay Hew ·R_ules - On Shipping .
