come, and that to raise the in
come of the poorer groups OF the
population would cut down their
sickness. The survey recognizes
this and goes on to say:
mot only do relief and low income
families experience more frequent i'll
ness than their more fortunate neigh
bors, but their illnesses are of longer
duration. Disabling chronic illness
among relief families was 63 per cent
longer than with the group with
SO 900 or more. -.
Higher Paid Get Better Treatment
s'In a surveyed population of over
a quarter of million persons, in
eight large cities, the average case Of
disabling illness in families with in
comes of $4,000 and over received 81
calls from a physician, compared tc
only SO calls per case among families
on relief"
These figures mostly were gathered
in 1885, when the federal government
spent large sums for medical care
This practice was discontinued, ant
the survey goes on:
"a resurvey of conditions amon{
these individuals would in all proba
bility show a marked increase of un
attended cases"
Large Proportion Receive Low Incom
Couple this grim statement witt
what the survey says as to the com
parative numbers Of the poor an
those not so poor:
"In the sampled urban population
of some 2,350,0o persons in 81 cities
about 30 per cent were found to b
families existing on annual income
of less than $1,000 Sixty-fve pc
cent were in families with an annua
income of less than $1,000, and 8
per cent in families with less tha

copies accustomed to democratic

peoples accustomed to democratic
processes.
The truth is that Stain has been
obliged by internal pressure to make
concessions to the democratic idea.
He has also hoped to win friendship
in the democratic nations.
Constitutions in democratic nations
have been called by the Reds and their
allies purely formal" Of this, Karl
Kautsky, veteran socialist writer,
says:
eff any constitution deserves the
description of purely formal one,
it is the latest constitution of Stain.
'sIt grants no attribute of real de
mocracy, no freedom of movement for
the masses, no liberty of speech, of
the press, of organizations. It's parlia-
ment, not freely elected, is a mere as
senting parrot"
So, in view of the circumstances
here briefly mentioned and many more
that could be mentioned, it is no Won
der the International Federation OF
Trade Unions said an emphatic NO
to union with Commumst-ruled Rus
sian labor

WAGE CUTS No REMEDY

Good advice for all industry is
given by Douglas G. Woolf, editor Of
the Textile World, in an editorial urg-
ing textile mills to resist to the last
ditch any efforts of the minority to
reduce wages. Woolf points out that
wage cuts in the years following the
1929 crash brought gradual drying UP
Of purchasing power, and he warns
that cuts now are bound to have the
same effect
Editor Woolf finds in current news
paper headlines ominous signs that
the 193o-33 experience may be re-
peated. Noting that Prof. 0. NJ, "
Sprague had advised the steel indus
try to control both wages and prices.
Woof declares that this offers ne
way out" for textile mills Despite
increases in the textile wage level
in recent years, mo intelligent tex
tile manufacturer will contend that
they are too high from social stand
point he rightly says.

FRIDAY, JANUARY %, 1888
THE TAX CAT OUT OF THE BAG


James H. R. Cromwell, who mar
ried the Buck" Duke tobacco for
tune, has let the big business tax cat
out of the bag Telling tales before
the congressional tax committee, he
demanded the repeal of all income,
gift, profits and inheritance taxes.
He demanded that in their place, a
manufacturers sales tax be placed
on all articles to raise all money for
federal, state and local governments.
Would you put the same rate on
bread and meat as you would on whis-
key and cigarettes Z" asked Chairman
Doughton.
Yes, sin, was the emphatic reply
Of Mr.. Cromwell
THAT would mean the same rate
for John D. Rockefeller and for a
section hand remarked Doughton.
MI Cromwell admitted that it would,
but insisted that By liberating cap
itar it would help the poor
oh, liberty, liberty!' Mr.. Dough
ton chanted What crimes are COM
mitted III thy name!'
Cromwell said directly and openly
what the spokesmen Of big business
all think, and which they have been
saying in a more or less roundabout
way for many years. Reed smoot
fathered a federal sales tax bill il
1921 Judge Gary, Of the steel trust,
who upheld the 12-hour day as "neees-
sary' wrote articles in favor of it.
So did Otto Kahn, Wall street banker.
Andrew Mellon favored sales tax be
fore an executive session Of a senate
committee, but had wit enough not to
DO SO openly And the same gang
from the same big business has been
going on in the same way ever since
The Duke fortune which Mr.. Crom-
well married originated in the tobacco
monopoly, which the supreme court
Of the United States condemned as
illegal and vicious. It was increased
in the utility business, in which the
federal trade commission found that
Duke Power Co. write ups were more
outrageous than those Of almost any
other utility company. But he has lei
the big business tax cat out of the
bag, and something may be forgiven
him for that.

Before he went as United States
ambassador to Berlin more than four
years ago, William E. Dodd was one
of Americas foremost historians.
Now he is back, and the indications
are that he means to use some OF
his splendid abilities as historian and
his exceptional chance for observa-
tion in giving a sort of present his
tory of Naziism.
In a personal conversation with two
members of the ILNS staff, Mr.. Dodd
told many things. A revolution against
Naziism cannot be staged in Ger
many. The Nazis never had major
ity of the German people behind them;
but they do not need it. Spies are
everywhere. No organization can be
formed opposed to the present rulers;
because spies will bring the word and
ruthless killers will blot out the
leaders.
And if a mere vague discomfort
showed itself in any part of the popu-
lation, that part could be starved inte
submission; for the Nazi government
controls absolutely the distribution o.
food
The whole power of the nation il
being turned to perfect the war ma
chine. The average ration of butte
varies from an eighth to a quarte
of pound per week per family
Bread is being made in part Of pota
toes and cloth in part of wood pulp
An epidemic of foot and mouth diseas
has broken out among the cattle 0
Germany rather, it broke out som
time ago and is just coming to gen
eral knowledge. But despite the abom
Unable diet, and the added threat Q
a cattle plague, the sharpening Q
weapons for attack goes on unceas
ingly.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

German war planes probably are
numbered by thousands. As combat
planes, they proved decidedly inferior
to the Russian planes in Spain; but
Mr.. Dodd doubts whether the best Of
the German planes went to Spain. He
thinks it more probable that they are
being kept at home.
And Germany claims to have huge
quantities of the deadliest poison gas
yet invented. 1t is an open question
whether anything can be deadlier
than our own lewisite; but Nazf Ger
many would lombard an enemy city
with death gas as quickly as hostile
army
As for war, it seems probable that
move to expand German territory
will be made within matter of
months; and if that move is resisted
the second world war will be on. Mr.
Dodd expects the Nazi move to be
made at Australia or Czechoslovakia;
probably Austria first.
An item which shows the Nazi re.
gime in lightning flash was men.
| toned by Mr. Dodd in the conversa-
ton. On the road from Berlin tc
Potsdam, a monument has been erect
ed to the first Nazi killer of Jew
The Nazi has his knee on the pros
trate Jews chest, and is about to Gu
off the victims head with a sword
This is the kind of art which tn,
Nazis favor.
Yet the Chicago Board of Censor
has forbidden the showing of news
reel entitled, Inside of Germany
| 1888" The German consul proteste'
that the film was "unfriendly." :" Doubt
less it was. Any truth coming out 0
Germany, by print, picture or wor
of mouth, is unfriendly to Naziism.

Won't you walk into my parlor,
said the spider to the fly ~"
No, thank you, said the Internation-
al Federation of Trade Unions, in flat
ly rejecting the offer of the Russian
Soviet trades unions to join forces.
The federation has been flirting
with the idea Of such an alliance.
1t even went SO far as to reach
tentative agreement in Moscow last
November.
But further consideration brought
change of heart.
Memories of past skullduggery, "
ing, treachery and carefully planned
attempts at destruction of trade un-
ionism in the democratic nations must
have contributed nightly to the de-
cision not to join with the Red 'un-
ions"
These unions" it must not be for
gotten, bear little resemblance to the
free unions of Great Britain, France,
Canada, the United States and the les
ser countries ruled by democracy.
It is true the Russian Soviets and
their agents in foreign lands have
changed their tactics in recent years.
/ They do not follow the same line"
as once.
i No longer do they openly seek to
/ wreck trade unions.
4 But they have NOT CHANGED
/ THEIR ULTIMATE AIM.
! That ultimate aim is to dominate
and control world labor
/ For the time being, Soviet Russia
/ needs the help of the democracies if
attacked by the Fascist relationships
So the communists WOO world labor
instead of cracking it over the head.
Events in Soviet Russia give inter
national labor no ground for renewal
Of confidence in Soviet labor unionism.
On the contrary, events there arouse
| the keenest kind of distrust.
For many months, the Soviet dc
tatorship headed by Stain has been
Systematically killing off real and i'm
agined critics.
No "comrade" has been safe, from
the highest official to the lowliest
peasant and worker.
! The 'pudge" has fallen on all alike,
with bloody savagery that even the
palmiest days Of Szardom could not
match
The army has been hard hit.
4 Generals and other officers admit
| tedly among the ablest have died be-
! fore firing squads.
The executioners have had no time
for rest.
Stain and his aides seem deter
mined to root out and destroy the
slightest indication Of opposition.
The recent elections" in Russia and
the much ballyhooed new constitu-
tion have failed to impress labor and
the rest Of the world
Elections in which no opposition is
permitted stir only derision among
