Gov. Bryan today started the Nebras-

WINSTON IN flavor
. OF LOWER SURTAX
Acting Secretary of Treasury
Declares for Maximum of
20 Per Cent.

Acting Secretary of the Treasury
Winston has come out in favor of a
maximum surtax of 20 per cent.
In letter TO a correspondent, made
public last night, Mr.. Winston said
this figure was "the highest that
should now be in the law"
Reduction of the Federal normal
and surtaXes on income to a maxi
mum of % per cent was declared pos
Slble from a revenue standpoint"
The Acting Secretary reiterated the
Treasury's previously announced po-
siuon of favoring adjustment of the
inheritance taxes, but did not COM
ment further regarding these taxes.
He opposed application of gradu-
ated income tax on corporations and
said he hoped agitation for such a
plan would be avoided.
An income tax on corporations
graduated on the amount of income
has no logical basis" Mr.. Winston
= wrote. THE theory of a graduated
income tax is that it is related to the
capacity of the taxpayer to pay. A
man with 100000 can spare a larger
proportion of his income than a man
with $4,000. This reasoning has no
relation whatsoever to corporations.
A large corporation having a large in

ber of small stockholders who can not
afford to have their dividends cut
down, whereas another corporation
having a moderate income may be
owned entirely by one man who can
we'll afford to pay a larger proportion
of his income to the Government.
IF we have two corporations, each
earning $1,000, 900, they would be tax
ed at one rate; if they were consoli-
dated into one corporation they would
be taxed at a different rate, a purely
arbitrary discrimination. The tend
ency of a graduated income tax would
be to split up large corporations into
a great number of small corporations.

More Polish Capitalist Brutality


The Polish government by shooting on their way
to Soviet Russia two Communist prisoners who
were to be exchanged has set the world a new pre-
cedent in studied brutality and disregard of all in
ternational agreements
The theory of the Polish government seems to
be that with the backing of France and America it
battle in the blood of the workers to its hearts
content. This theory may have some basis in fact
as it is certainly true that Soviet Russia will not
make war on Poland even to save the lives of de-
voted revolutionists.
But there are other matters that the Polish gov
eminent would do we'll TO consider, such as the
former rather friendly attitude of the masses out
side of Poland to her desire for national freedom,
the interest with which her attempts to restore ma
tiOnal unity were watched, the federation with
which the bloody excuses of her government were
at first received. Even when she started war on
Soviet Russia at the behest of allied Imperialism
she had the sympathy of millions of workers who
knew nothing of the sinister forces backing Poland
All this is changed. The Polish workers altho
rigid censorship exists and the jais filed with
trade unionists and revolutonists have succeeded
thru the Communist International, in getting the
ear of millions of their fellow workers 1t is a
hopelessly ignorant worker who does not know
today that the Polish government is government
OF murderers, grafters and degenerates that first
betrayed the Polish masses to the allied imperial
lists, slaughtered thousands in counterrevou
tionary war and that now brushes mercilessy trade
unions and revolts alike
Poland is caught between Germany and Russia
Her natural resources and factories are being
plundered by French adventurers who plan on the
existence of Poland for ten years only. The masses
are poverty stricken, but the landlords and capital
lists have greatly enriched themselves Economic
Ially, Poland cannot survive as a national entity
Politically she will go down beneath the feet of her
working class when they can bear no more.
When that day comes the Polish ruling class will
pay for every broken strike for every torture for
every murdered worker and for such bloody
brutaities that of shooting working class prison
ers on their way to be exchanged.

party was made absolutely illegal.
+ The Karolyi government took an
open anti-labor stand. But Karolyi &
Co. made a mistake. Their methods
of persecution produced effect
which they had not expected. There
were protests against the persecu-
lions of Communists by the govern
ment. Thee masses Of workers began
to recognize the treacherous role
which this half bourgeois, half social
democratic government was playing,
and the masses streamed to the Com
munists. No one believed any longer
that either Karolyi or the social dem
ocrats represented the working mass
es. .
= This recognition gave the basis for
the dictatorship of the Hungarian pro-
letariat. Michael Karolyi might per-
sonally be the most honest and most
agreeable man in the world, but his
policy was nothing else than the pol
icy of Noske- Ebert. Kar-
olyi himself was dragged - perhaps
against his will-into swamp, into
the capitalist terror, Imprisonment of
workers, suppression of newspapers,
the shedding of innocent blood of
workers. Karolyi and "Karolyism"
sacrificed the blood of the working
class to capitalism.

CLARITY M5sTHE KAROLYF FRAUD

BY JOHN LAssEN editor, u Elorey
TT should be of interest t0dhe Am
erican workers to find out some de-
tails about the role played by Count
Michael Karolyi during his presidency
in Hungary. ealg8lle ss
The first Hungarian republican
government differed in no way from
the rt-Scheidemann-No govern
ment 1t contained social-democrats,
liberals of the old middle class school
and small peasants. The storm of
the revolution swept together this gov
ernment which, it was hoped by the
great working masses, would repre-
sent the interests Of the}aworlSing
class and the peasantry. Soon enuf
it became clear that thisswas out of
the question, that this government
too was being utilized by the capital
lists, and that the working class could
depend only on itself. The employ
ing class used the Karolyi govern
ment simply for keeping the rebellious
masses quiet, for Calming them
effectively considered President
Karolyi and his government were just
as much hostile to labor as the gov
eminent in Washington, A few of
the anti-labor acts of the Karolyi gov
eminent are taken from the wealth
of facts and reported here in order to
serve the rich store of facts.
A spontaneous movement of dis
contented miners arose in Salagotar-
yam. This movement which was di-
rected against the inhuman dealings
of the coal mine bosses there, was
quenched in the blood Of the miners
by Peyer, on the order Of the Karolyi
government. Peyer came with ma
chine guns into the city, and fired at
the innocent miners.

capitalist governments-wor with

list Party in order to get information
on the activities of the Communists,
The Karolyi government organized

sole task was the combating of the
revolutionary movement.
In the various strikes the soldiers
and police were almost always ION
the spot" Thus, for instance, a ire
mendous mass strike movement was
suppressed in the Oeckert & Homolka
factories.
Under the Karolyi government the
single Communist newspaper, Voros
Ujsag, could appear only Illegally
And even this illegal existence they
tried with the greatest craftiness to
make impossible.
But the Karolyi reaction reached its
| high point when the unemployed took
by storm the editorial office of the
treacherous Hungarian Social Demo-
cratic Nepszava. The demonstrators
! were attacked by the civilian guard
and the police from both sides, and
as the battle lasted into the night the
civilian guards and police shot at each
other in the dark and some of them
fell in that way.
The next day the leaders of the
Communists were arrested. Bella

brutally mishandled. The whole

AMERICAN TRADE
IN CHINA GOES
STEADILY DOWN
Russia and Japan Cut
Out u. S.

SHANGHAI, April Although the
United States shipping interests are
gradually gaining control of the com
merce sent out from here, the largest
port in China, American business
firms are losing their hold on manu-
facture and trade, within China.
The figures show that in 1922 Amer
lean ships handled s4s per cent Of the
shipping out of Shanghai to the
United States, and this figure was in
creased to so per. cent two years ago
and 81 per cent last year.
On the other hand the participation
of American merchants in Chinese
trade to the United States fell off
from S5 per cent1n 1922 to less than
80 per cent last year These figures
are based on the percentage of ex-
ports from Shanghai to the United
States handled by American firms.
The reason for this slump, accord
ing to American Consul Cunningham,
is the more active participation of
other foreign firms in Chinese trade.
Coolidge is finding it difficult to ap-
point someone to the vacant post of
American ambassador to China, as
American Imperialism has received
heavy blows in the far east recently,
and the post has grown important to
Wall Street.
Japan and Russia have closer con-
tact with China than ever before and
the United States capitalists are
growing desperate.
