ton of present day capitalism is such
high one that the rate Of income
of tax free securities looks ridiculous
to the industrial capitalist in compar-
ison to the one he can extract from
his industrial investments in spite of
high taxes.
Incidentally. big capital is constant
ly hollering about its patriotism. Mr..
Mellon whining about the lack OF
patriotism of the rich patriots shown
in their endeavor to escape taxation
by investing in tax free securities,
throws welcome light on this patri-
otism.
THE Mellon plan submitted to the

taxes on incomes below $4,000 is
rejected by Mr.. Mellon on the ground
that the payment of taxes by people
who derive their total income from
wages or salaries gives them some
sense of ownership in the govern
ment. This is a nice little joke on
Mr.. Mellon. The big capitalists do
not need to get their sense of owner
ship thru taxation. Their sense of
ownership is derived from the fact
that their lawyers and attornies are
at the same time the congressman,
the senators, the secretaries of state,
and the presidents, ready and willing

these capitalists. Since the owner

tax That such reduction could not
be carried on without at the same
time reducing taxation on incomes of
$4,000 or Whereabouts was clear. But
the reduction propagated for lower
incomes was practically only a nom
inal one, while the reduction on sur
tax of higher incomes was up to 40
per cent.
The reduction on high incomes was
propagated on the basis that a high
tax stimulates the investment by
many of tax free securities. But this
argument is sheer nonsense. First,
there is only a limited amount of such
securities. And even these are al
ready placed in the hands of invest
ors. High taxes and big incomes

While the Americans started off

After Americas first refusal to ac-

would have to raise her offer to at

AS WE SEE 1T

THINGS are not going too well with
M. Caitaux's debt funding mis-
sion. The best way to test financ-
ial or other genius" is to put him to
the test. When that test is made I'M
der unfavorable conditions, there Is an
awful splash, and another reputation
hits the bottom Some writer's get a
great kick out of giving the whole
sole and true account of what Caillaux
came here to do. how he is going to do
1t and what will be the result Of his
efforts. But this is something where
we can only make decent guess at
the outcome. If the capitalists, who
are now running things outside Of
Russia knew what was going to hap
pen IN the near future, their problems
would be considerably simplified.
MO writer, least of all, a revolution
~ airy writer, should lose sight of
the fact that the interests of the cap
italist powers are SO conflicting that
any kind of lasting peace between
them is impossible. Let us take the
financial controversy between the
United States and France for in
stance. France owes this country
over four billions Of dollars, money
loaned by this country to France to
help save democracy, by the way.
Well, democracy was saved, and this
country was the principal gamer. But
this country wants its money along
with the victory of democracy.
TNHE two principal debtors to the
4 United States are England and
France. England has already settled
her indebtedness, that ID she has be-
gun to make payments. This places
England at a disadvantage over
France. 30 England brings pressure to
bear on the United States to make
France fork up. France lodges the is-
sue and instead OF turning TO Wash
ington. goes TO Moscow and begins
negotiations to collect the money she
loaned to the car some years ago.

CHICAGO MEET
VOICES PROTEST
FOR SAKLATvALA
1--WE Want SGkIatUGIG,' y
Meeting Demands

1--WE want SakIatvala," was the ac-
cepted slogan and the spirit Of resc-
luton Of protest unanimously passed
at an inspiring and enthusiastic de-
monstration held in Chicago against
the barring Of Shapurii sakIatvaIa,
Communist member Of the British par
Lament.
The meeting was addressed by A. J.
Marjai, Hindu. Lovett -Whiteman,
Negro, Manuel Gomez. secretary Of
the Anti-Imperialist League and both
editors of the DAILY WORKER, j.
Louis Engdahl as chairman and Com
rade William F. Dunno, as the prin-
cipal speaker.
Fear Lone Communist
In opening the meeting Engdahl
said there was an important lesson
in the barring Of Saklatvala, the only
Communist representative sent to the
inter parliamentary union meeting in
Washington. If they were afraid of
the influence that one Communist
can bring to bear just think what the
influence of hundreds of Commun-
lists would mean?
He then introduced Manuel Gomez,
secretary of the All-America Anti-Im-
perialist League.
Barred at British Request
Gomez said there must be no mis-
take about the fact that Saklatvala
was barred at the request of the Brit
ish government. "Saklatvala is a Com
munist, and a Hindu Communist. The
fact that he is an Indian is very sign
ificant. India is the backbone of the
British empire Britain realizes that
without India the British government
must fall. The British imperialists are
trembling very noticeably today. And
why? Because everywhere we can see
signs Of the disintegration Of imperial
ISM
Especially is this true of England.
The radicalism of the British workers
has manifested itself in numerous
ways today. We have a demonstra-
ton of it in the. recent activities Of
the trade unions of Scarborough and
also in the cooperation of the British
workers with Soviet Russia. The Brit
sh workers have taken position for
unity with the exploited workers in
other countries.
lmperialist Unity N
In the barring Of Saklatvala we can
see the unity of interests between Am
erican imperialism and British i'm
perialism. We can see the united front
for the continuation of the exploita-
tion of the yellow races.
Here Is an example how other
countries return these favors. In
Cuba, deportation OF the comrades be-
cause they talked against American
Imperialism. Every foreigner in Pan
anna deported for attacking the United
States government The truth of the
matter is we have imperialist domain

they belong to labor unions, and come
into the labor party congress both
from local labor party sections who
