Britain and Italy.

Capt. Anthony Eden, new British
minister for League Of Nations affairs,
is not accustomed to travel the rocky
road he has encountered on his present
continental mission of Precipitation. In
the past, as a rowing ambassador of good
will, Capt. Eden's peregrinations almost
always turned out to be successful pill
grimages.
This time a tougher task was assigned
him. He was called upon to justify in
Paris and Rome the unilateral action Of
Great Britain in patching up deal
with Hitler, whereby Germany is restored
to rank as a sea power. Capt. Eden's
visit to France took place in an at
mosphere heavily charged with chill and
Laval issued communique breathing in
stereotyped language the general ac-
cord which still characterizes French
and British views, but it did not remove
the impression that Capt. Eden's diplo-
macy had failed to smooth ruined French
susceptibilities over Britain's private rn-
derstanding with the Nazis and the
final blow it administers to the treaty
of Versailles.
In Italy Capt. Eden thus far seems
not to have experienced much better
luck than awaited him in France. Rome
dispatches report that Mussolini has
turned deaf ear to his visitors de-
fense of the German naval transaction.
With respect to London's view that Italy
should compose her quarrel with Abys-
sinia through the League of Nations, II
Duce reveals an even sterner attitude.
In final conferences with Capt. Eden
today, the premier is expected to de-
mand the exclusion of Abyssinia from
the League If there is any insistence
upon Geneva's right to interpose itself
in the conflict. Every indication coming
out of Rome confirms Mussolini's de-
termination to settle his account with
Halle Selassie in his own way, regard

Rushing the Taxes.

Having handed over to the President
the Government purse, the spending
power, it is now proposed that the Presi-
dent shall be given the taxing power.
Or so it seems. How else, in practical
sense, can be interpreted the sudden
demand of the White House that a new
tax program, enunciated by the PreSi-
dent less than week ago, shall become
law within five daysP The new tax
program has been described as a great
new principle in American taxation, de-
signed to redistribute wealth and break
up great concentrations of economic
power This is the proposal that is to
be written into law in five days.
The House Ways and Means Commit
dents proposals. Nor has the Senate
Finance Committee examined it. In the
astonishing program for this legislation,
neither committee will have opportunity
for careful consideration. Indeed, the
tax plan of the President had not been
revealed in detail up to the very hour
that the congressional leaders received
their orders from the White House to
go ahead and put it through in five
days. The assumption was, however,
that the details of the bill had been
worked out by the administration and
would be handed to the Congress with
out further delay. 1t is not for the Con-
gresham to reason why. 1t remains for
him to do or die, politically.
There is a provision of the Constitu-
ton that says all revenue laws must
originate in the House of Represent
atives. Its purpose was to bring the
taxing power as directly as possible into
the hands of the people, who elect the
members of the House every two years.
If the plans of the President and the
congressional leaders who met with him
yesterday afternoon are carried out,
however, this great new tax program,
this new principle In tax legislation,
will originate in the Senate and the only
function the House will have will be to
agree to what the Senate and the Presi-
dent have done. The plan to bring this
tax program into the Senate first is sub
versive of the Constitution. 1t is possible
only because there is before the Senate
joint resolution to extend beyond July
-&o{,1 %
temporary taxes to produce needed
revenue. Under the rules of procedure,
the Senate may amend a tax measure
which has passed the House and has
been sent to the Senate. In this case,
however, the amendments will have
nothing whatever to do with the original
purpose of the joint resolution. 1t is a
mere subterfuge.
In this plan of action there is prac-
tical denial to the people and the busi-
nesses that are to be subject to these
proposed new taxes of all opportunity
to be heard before the law is enacted.
The Congress itself may rebel. It
may not swallow THIS plan, so glibly
declared by the President and the ad-
rniniStration leaders Of the House and
Senate. Perhaps the leaders themselves
were convinced that this would be the
case when the agreement was made to
push immediate passage of the tax pro-
gram. After all, there appears to be q
great deal of face-saving in the ma
neuvering.

Uncle Sam and
Miss Prosperity

To the Editor OF The Star:
What is The Sunday Star trying to
do to us-tear out our heart strings?
The illustration heading DIR. Carother's
article, lovely Miss Prosperity pleading
to come in, with stern Uncle Sam barring
the door, almost moves us to tears. Al
most-not quite. For If you will look
closely you may discern over Uncle's
shoulder the shadow of his two bad
boys; that rotund profiigate, Super
abundance, and his side-kick, Maldis-
tribution, both waiting to do the girl
a mischief.
1t has taken our Uncle a good $50
years to get hep to these two unregen-
crate rogues. He knows full well that
if Miss p. could be persuaded to forget
what they did to her in %, and also
back in 93 and in '73, and in fact every
other time during her fleeting calls at
Uncle's house; If Miss p. should forget
all this and get well into the house
they would treat her just as they always
have, then turn her out on the street
again looking just like that old hag,
Depression.
To give him his due, one Of these boys,
Supe is at heart a good egg. Uncle
uOColl hlWdyS oCCxll W hppA tLl1c
and tries to cramp his style. To be
sure, when Supe and Nal gang up, it is
pretty hard to say just who is to blame.
and it appears like the old man has
been taking it out on Supe for quite
q spell.
However, that Nal is a tough. ornery
guy. It's my private opinion that sooner
or later the boy will be hung. And
within the last week 1t began to look
as If it might be sooner than some Of
Mails cronies thought probable.
Anyhow, Uncle may tell Miss p. to
just make herself comfortable on the
front stoop, or perhaps go back around
the corner until he has the boys under
control. And maybe after Nal gets
himself hanged, the well-known good
qualities of Supe will come to the fore,
and he will turn out to be such pleas
ant companion that Miss Prosperity
will come in and pay us q heap longer
visit than has been her habit in the
past. DWIGHT T. SCOTT.

A Dead Airport Bill.

The same vote in the House that
passed the airport bill yesterday put
the airport bill on the shelf for at least
another year, eliminated all prospect
of immediate steps to build an airport,
continued unabated the unsatisfactory,
dangerous conditions at Washington Air
port, universally condemned by every
aviation expert who ever gave them
minutes thought.
The paradox is explained by the ap-
parently willful opposition, on the part
of a small group of men in the House
to anything proposed by the House
District Committee which is fair to the
people of the District. There was the
usual difference of opinion over location
Of an airport. There are many students
of the airport problem who remain
convinced that Gravelly Point is the
most suitable site But while the House
bill favored Washington Airport as
against Gravelly Point that bill was
written by members of the House Dis
trict Committee sincerely interested in
obtaining for the National Capital a
suitable airport, which, in turn, largely
depends upon some practical method
of financing it.
The bill provided that the 81, SOC, 900
cost be divided half and half between
the National and District Governments,
the latter repaying its half after ten
years, at three per cent interest. Rep
resentative Blanton and one or two
others were able to strike out the divi-
sion of cost arrangement by parlia-
mentary strategy; the whole cost of
the project would have been thrown on
the District. The Senate, of course,
would never consider any such unfair
arrangement. The District has no funds
to meet such requirements. The bill, as
one of its proponents, Mr.. Nichols, said,
Is dead.
Mr.. Blanton's characteristic argument
was that the people of the District
should build and pay for their own air.
port, without aid from the National
Government, as do the people of Abilene.
But, of course, there is no parallel and
Mr. Blanton knows it as well as any,
body else. The people of Abilene con-
troll the expenditure of their own tax
money, run their own airport, decide
what they can afford and what they can
not afford, and without the anomaly of
having every section of the country
cept their own city represented in their
local government. In Abilene, the mu-
nicipal airport is run for Abilene. In
Washington, it would be built for the
Capital of the United States, and ac-
cording to the terms of the bill passed
by the House yesterday it would be
operated by commission, appointed by
the President, on which no member of
the local, tax-paying community would
necessarily be represented.
Mr.. Blanton's suggestion that the peo-
pie of Washington build their own air
port was merely figure Of speech, and
is as possible or as probable as the cows
jumping over the moon. The unfor-
tunate part of the business is that the
exclusively controlling Congress is block
ed in its serious duty of legislating for
the District by such tactics.
If there is tragedy at Washington
Airport some day, the responsibility has
already been fixed.

Shooting Stars

Chorus Of Taxpayers.
I love to pay my taxes. 1t will aid my
moral health
To know that I am sharing all the
penalties of wealth.
I'll sweeten the old jack pot, as I'm
called upon to do,
Being proud of my white chip, the
same as If it was blue.
I love to pay my taxes. AS under
stand the game,
No matter how I kick I'll have to pay
them just the same.
So cheerfully I'll ante up until perhaps
some day
I'll go upon relief and let the other
fellows pay.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By {
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Summertime Blues

Summefume blues
Alone in his big dwelling,
As twilight ends the day,
With all his sons gone camping,
The wife and girls away.
He roamS to his cooled kitchen
Where every latest thing
Modernity's invented
Eases the housekeeping,
Takes out a bit of supper,
Closes his frigidaire--
And wishes he could sit down
In a well-remembered chair,
And, switching OF his radio,
With every blatant lay
Just strum the old piano
That once he used to play.
