A World Survey Was Made

A World Survey Was Made
Our churches know the needs
that must be met They know
exactly how every dollar-every
penny-will be used for the great
est good without waste. -
A world survey was made by
the churches that astounds business
men In its thoroughness. County
after county was studied; the coun-
tries of the world were visited and
reported In minute detail.
How the Interchurch
World Movement Originated
Our churches said: "The task of
meeting the urgent needs shown by
the world survey is too great for us
to do individually as denomi-
nations. We must do this work
together"
So thirty great denomination
are cooperating-cach keeping Its
own purpose and identity-but all
working together under the name
of the Interchurch World Move
ment
Because of this cooperation, il
is estimated that over one million
dollars will be saved alone in elimi-
mating waste and duplication

FOE TAX PLAN
Germany Can't Collect or
Incomes in Occupied
Areas.

Service. Special Wireless Dispatch.)
Berlin, June 24.-The entente au-
thorities in the occupied and plebes-
cite areas of Eastern and Western
Germany have taken steps to pre-
vent the collection of the German
income tax on wages in the dis
tricts under their control. The pro-
visions of the new income law re-
quiring employers to deduct a fiat
10 per cent from all salaries and
wages goes into effect on June 25.
The workmen are very bitter over
the new imposition and the entente
authorities apparently fear that
strikes will result from an attempt
to enforce the law. The workmen
and others with small salaries look
upon fiat deduction as an injustice,
since under the progressive gradu-
alton of the tax they usually are
liable for less than 10 per cent, par
ticularly when the exemption for
the family is considered.
Workmen with small incomes,
therefore, are virtually compelled
to make a forced loan to the state
until the next year. when the excess
over the actual tax will be refund
ed, whereas the deduction is felt
less severely by those with larger
incomes, on which the tax runs well
over 10 per cent.

IMPORT SUGAR
UNDER U.S.EYE
Government to Rule Price
And Distribution of Newly
Purchased Stocks.

Sugar being purchased by Ameri-
can interests in South America
and Europe with the assistance
of the State Department will be
sold in the United States at mar
gins of profit approved by the
government and distributed under
the direction of the Department of
Justice. it was announced yester-
day by Howard Z. Figg, special
assistant attorney general.
Mr.. Figg's announcement was
to set at rest persistent reports
that the government was buying
sugar in Argentina and Czechoslo-
vakia. He said it was to the in
terest, of the government and a
part of the sugar policy of the
Department of Justice to increase
sugar imports and government
agencies abroad were extending
all possible aid to American sugar
importers. The government, he
stated flatly, was without funds
to purchase sugar outright and
none was being bought by govern
ment representatives.
