"SMALL BUSINESS”
B C. WIISON HARDER
Quality southerners often mis-
lead people. Contrasted to the
more abrupt speaking northern-
ers, the innate desire of southern
gentlemen to at all times show
the greatest courtesy leads them
Into some very involved forms of
speech which sometimes appear
to be all flowers, and not thorns.

Senator Geori
Florida gave a
perfect demon-!
stratlon of this
the other day
before the Sen-
ate Finance!
Committee’*
summing up
hla examina-
tion of Treas-
ury Secretary
George Hum
phrey.
C. W. Harder
see
In this session of Congress,
there has been some very exten-
sive inquiry into the problems of
small business, especially in re-
gards to putting on a permanent
basil the Small Business Admin-
istration, or SB A, with continua-
tion of powers to make loans to
small business deprived by taxes
of the opportunity to lay aside
expansion funds from profits;
handicapped in borrowing funds
by current fiscal and credit pol-
icies of government.
• * *
Or as George Burger,vice pre%
ldent of the National Federation
of Independent Business pat it
when testifying before the House
Bsnkink end Currency Commit-
tee,“we do not believe the Treas-
ury Dept, has s full understand-
ing of the problems of Small bus-
iness and ore bold the tame view
ns It relates to Commerce Dept.
Both of these deportments have
» rightful place la our govern-
ment, hot they do net belong in
any direct action that will he
helpful to small business.”
e e e ,
On the Senate side. Senator
Smathers decided
,u.t how aware -
retary was of the problem. And
after a long and courteous dis-
cussion with Secretary Hum-
phrey, Sen. Smathers made the
following statements.
* * *
"I thoroughly agree with the
Secretary,” the Senator stated,
“when he stated that “upon the
sucoess of amali business firms
to prosper and grow depends
much of our production and our
survival as a free competitive so-
ciety.” But then he wondered,
In view of this official pronounce-
ment, why in the past few years
have these things happened.
* * *
The Senator wanted to know
why small business which in 1954
was awarded 25.1% of govern-
ment "prime contracts, is now
being awarded at the rate of
18.9%, a drop of 33%.
* • *
He also wanted to know how
come that while In 1955 53% of
firms with a net worth between
85,000 and $25,000 had credit lines
with banks, a year later only
18% had anch credit lines, while
firms with net worths of $500,000
or more suffered no dimlnlsh-
ment of bank credit.
. * * *
Senator Smathers related
many other statistical facts
about small business conditions,
of a similar nature.
• * *
And with the true courtesy of
the Southern gentleman, the Sen-
ator did not in the least attempt
to discredit any testimony by
Treasury Secretary that present
governmental policies have built
a fine climate for free enterprise.
• • *
He merely said in effect "I
present herewith the facts as
they appear today/’
And. on the reverse aMu si the

ed Me claims with a like set sf
