Editorial

Mr.. Romans letter on the tax question
brings out some points that need serious
consideration. We are living on a small,
dry island. Duing some years there is an
abundant rainfall, and during othsr years
the earth parches, vegetation withers and
dies and numerous wells cease to spring.
When there is rain the water runs off to
the sea because the island is so small that
there are no sections where it may accumu
late. There are no rivers nor streams from
which farmers may irrigate the soil, but the
Inhabitants have been forced to make the
best of it.
1t is ridiculous to argue that we are not
taxed when our meagre resources and our
ability to pay are considered.
We pay taxes on land and buildings, mo
tor vehicles, buggies and carts, boats and
dogs. Then we are taxed for the repair of
the public roads, besides we pay several
minor taxes. Most of the taxpayers are
willing to do their best and pay as much as
they can, but no one wants to be taxed so
high that the Government takes his proper
ty when he cannot pay.
Here Is where we need to exercise great
caution. 1t is easy enough to sit behind
figures on sheet of paper and calculate
how much taxes we should collect, but
for the person who has to pay there is a
limit, beyond which he cannot go without
facing rum.
That is the serious responsibility confront
ing the Government. 10 enact laws that will
prevent evasion of taxes and yet to steer
clear of the point where taxation would
mean cont'scatlon OF property.

BY KINGSBURY SMITH

A strong possibility existed to-
day that the United States Gov.
ernment will refuse to recognize
any puppet regime which Italy'S
victorious army Of conquest eStab-
lishes In Ethiopia.
Pending indications as to what
sort Of government the Italians
intend to establish in Adds Ababa,
the State Department refrained
from taking any immediate stand.
Policy Accepted
However, indications were that
Secretary Of State Hull would ad-
here to the policy Of non-recogni-
ton Of territory acquired by force.
Enunciated by former Secretary
Of State Henry I. StimSon in the
Sino=JapaneSe crisis in 1881, this
policy has been accepted and fol-
lowed by the Roosevelt admins
tration.
Under the latter the United
States has become a party to two
international treaties in which
adherance to this policy is made
q definite commitment.
The first Of these treaties Is one
known as "The Rights and Duties
Of States" signed at Montevideo
in December, 1888, ratified by the
United States and proclaimed by
President Roosevelt on January,
10, 1885.

ETHIOPIAN WAR
SEEN LESSON
FOR u. 5.
ItaIy's Victory Shows
Defense Need, Say
Army Leaders
IuterratIouaI News Service

The chief lesson the United
States should learn from 1taly's
conquest of Ethiopia and the man
ner in which it was achieved is
the vital need for an adequate ma
tional defense force.
Such was the view today Of
American military observers who
have been following the Italian
campaign of conquest from the
beginning and Ethiopia's feeble
though courageous effort to re-
SiSt it.
AS evidence that this view was
not "big army" propaganda but
glaring fact, the military observ-
ers pointed to the comparative
ease which Italy'S modern mill
tary machine was able to roll over
what had been considered one Of
the most inaccessible nations in
the world.
The Italian victory was further
seen as evidence that courage and
numbers alone is not sufficient
to defend a nation from invaders
equipped with modern weapons
of warfare. The black warriors
of Ethiopia are known as the
most courageous fighters in the
world. But their courage proved
naught against the airplanes, poi
son gas, bombs and machine gun
bullets Of an inferior number of
modern invaders.
Though they died by the thou.
sands in defense of their coun-
try, they we're unable to repel
the relentless advance Of Italy's
modern military machine.
Two military lessons which the
American army learned from the
Ethiopian war were the import
ance Of adequate supply systems in
modern warfare and modern equip
ment for defense forces.

Women to Stick
Miss Anderson branded as false
the argument that the country's
unemployment problem could be
solved by putting women out OF
jobs. She said that better wages
for men and guarantee Of economic
security to their families would
cause an automatic withdrawal OF
women from pay jobs. She added
'WOmen in general are in en-
ployment to stay. Census data
shows that women wage earnerS
could not easily be supplanted
by men because women are do
ing types Of work for which, on
the whole, they are better quar-
fled than men, or which men in
che past have not desired"

Lack of Defense
By Legation
International NaMs Asrxiee

A resolution demanding an ex-
PLANTATION by the State Depart
ment for failure to protect the
American legation at Adds
Ababa during riots which pre-
ceded Italian occupation was to
be introduced in the House today
by Representative Edith Nourse
Rogers (R.) Of Massachusetts,.
She asserted the department
should have provided an Ameri-
can guard rather than forcing
Americans to accept protection
from the British. She said:
Newspaper accounts Of the
riOting there and the cables Of
Minister Engert indicate that
the legation was practically de-
fenseless and virtually unarmed.
A few rifles, shot guns and re-
vOIvers were the only weapons
at The legation. A submachine
gun was later procured through
the good offices Of an Abyssin-
ian policeman.
Grateful as we are to the
British for coming to the rescue
of our citizens and those whom
we employed, it still seems to me
that our Government should
have supplied protection"
