POINTED QUESTION
Asked of big Biz" By
Church Men

Washington-If the excess profits
tax can be shifted, why does big busi-
ness want this tax abolished? is the
pointed question asked by the depart
ment or social action, national Catho-
lie welfare council
"The excess profits tax is claimed to
have increased the cost of living. Be-
cause of it, profit-takers are reported
to have raised prices and lowered
wages so as to get enough profits to
pay the tax and still not suffer any
loss in their normal profits. The ex-
cess profits tax, according to this, has
been an incentive to proft-takers to
raise prices and keep down wages so
that other people will pay their taxes.
They have even made higher profits, it
is said, through the operation of the
excess profits tax.
1T is not known whether this ar
gument should be accepted because the
organizations which are advancing it
are composed Of profit takers, and
newspapers favoring it have long been
recognized as the mouth-pieces of
groups of profit-takers If they have
forced others to pay their excess pro-
fits tax, 1t is not clear why they are
now confessing to this practice unless
it is that they want to pay their own
taxes in the future Their statement
is also a confession that their power
over prices, wages, and salaries is
practically unlimited as long as the
consumers can or will buy goods"

The harpies who prey on public

Behind a shield Of plausibilIty, the
promoter sends his money solicitors
out upon the public. Needless TO say,
little Of the money raised actually is
used 10 assist the unemployed ex-
service men. The promoter takes good
care 10 see that his account books, IL
he keeps any. never record the full
amounts which have been extracted
from the sympathetic public. And II
he makes a pretense Of accounting for
the way the money Is expended, this
accounting is only clever construc-
ton Of falsities. intended to protect
the promoter. II be Is made the sub
ject OF inquiry by public officials. The
system by which he operates precludes

These swlndlers often copy me

which are legitimate and have repu-

Dawn Of a New Day,

The world ALREADY knows that the
armament conference is not 4 fore
gone futiliv. not an inevitable re-
treat to chaos and failure, not the
staged creation Of diplomatic fencerS.
not the actual paralysis and negation
Of the worlds aspirations for peace
through disarmament
The Harding-HugheS proposal has
put to rout at once the objectorS,
the dreamerS the Missionaries, the
evangels Of peSSimiSm the prophets
Of an impossible millennium, the
peidlers Of internationaliSt piffle, the
babblerS about world federation.
Il is more than a proposal; il is
a demand for action, couched in ir-
reSiStible phrase, responsive to the
highest and best thought of a world
wearied and nearly ruined by war,
supported by the moral power and
coercion Of an enlightened, aroused
and chastened mankind.
1t is idle to talk now Of the obSta-
cleS TO limitation Of armament. They
do not exist; they never did exist as
against a bold and determined pur-
pose TO overcome them. What are
they now? Where are those who
say that a great step forward has not
been made toward the actually Of
a more peaceful world through aban-
donment-even partial abandonment
of the provocative instrumental
tiles of warfare?
1t is a day and time of realities,
not visions; courage, not timidiy; of
outright diplomacy, not Of secret in

ing; not sunk, but saved. A new era
