When he had gone, she locked
the door and flung herself face
down on the couch, sobbing out
her despair at the deSolation her

H. r. 1904 AND WAR PROFITS
Editor ASkov Americana:

There is no one who desires war
profiteering eliminated more earnestly
than l. In my opinion, however,
H. R. 1904 does not eliminate war
profits-it leaves the job to future
Congresses. If the elimination of
war profits is really an objective of
this bill, why does it not include an
actual war profits tax today? Why
postpone the enactment of this vital
element? If the answer is offered
that time is needed for study and
accumulation of data, one cannot help
wondering why the proponents of
H. R. 1904, after admittedly working
for years with the ideas incorpor-
ated in this bill, have no definite tax
proposal to make at this time The
CONSUMPTION, registration and licenS-
ing proposals seem to have been rath-
err definitely and carefully worked
out; only the tax question is left for
future consideration and enactment
With regard to my statement of two
weeks ago that the bill contains only
one provision that deals with the
curbing of war profits" a word of
explanation may be in order. A. M.
Simonsen states that there are three
provisions rather than one, and
quotes, as evidence, three paragraphs
from Section IL of the bill itself
Paragraph "a" provides that tax
shall be in effect" during wartime;
paragraph 3D." that the Secretary of
the Treasury shall accumulate data
from which such plan of taxation
can be formulated; and paragraph
&C." that the Secretary of Treasury
shall recommend such plan of taxa
ton to the next and succeeding Con-
crosses.
have no quarrel with anyone who
sees here three provisions to tax war
profits. 1, personally, look upon "a
''b" and &c" as three aspects of a
single proposal.

economic and social problems to be
solved. Others think of recreation a.
tool to use in our process of edu-
cation
MAY l suggest that cooperative
recreation (folk dances, singing
games, drama, etc. as distinct from
competitive recreation basketball
tennis, etc. is an experience which
enables individuals to play out {
story in cooperative way in which
the individual obtains a necessary
healthy emotional satisfaction.
cooperative recreation is not only
constructive experience for the in
dividual but helps build cooperative
morals and thus strengthens the CO.
operative movement. The person
who is accustomed to cooperating
with others on the play level Of
behavior is better qualified to COOP
crate with his friends on the intel
lectual level. Cooperative recreation
is more important in the development
of our coOperativeS than many of us
think. Experience at Noble county
Ind, and many other places has shown
that cooperative recreation not only
develops the Individual but is an i'm
portant factor in building a coopera-
tive community.
cooperative recreation is an edu-
cational process in itself, because il
helps develop a healthy and mature
emotional life thus helping one become
better cooperator The person who
does not play with others, regard
less of his age, is much more liable
to succumb to the ravages of rugged
individualism.'
''The amount of recreation the
group should have can only be de-
termined by the group in democratic
fashion. Each group should star
with what they feel they need, anc
should encourage the development
of recreational leaders. Young peo-
pie interested in an intense study Of
cooperative recreation and who wish
to become recreational leaders in then
community should plan on attending
the leadership institute conducted an
nually by the Cooperative Society
for Recreational Education which will
meet at Grand View college, Des
Moines, Iowa, June IL, and will con-
tinue for ten days. Further infor-
nation will be published at a later
date"

normal return" on international
bloodletting.
1t levies no tax whatever. It
merely says the Secretary of the
Treasury shall make reports and rec
concentrations. This section expresses
hope that the wartime Congress,
feverish in hate, prejudices, and the
lash of war profiteers and their false
patriotism, will have sufficient sanity
and courage left to enact the system
which the Secretary of the Treasury
has carried harmlessly about in his
pocket during the years of peace.
This is known as the universal"
justification for the false title which
graces the bill-"A bill to prevent
profiteering in time of war;"

CORRECTS LEATHERMAN

Editor ASkOv American:
Being that 1 have attended every
one of the Birch Creek Community
club meetings since it was organized
a year ago and also being that as
secretary of the organization, l have
taken notes on its proceedings al
every meeting. l feel it is my duty
to correct Elmer Leatherman's arti-
Gle in your paper of March II.
We do not want outsiders or people
in our own community to get false
impression of our people here OF
of our Community club.
We have been sstressing good fell
lowship in a cooperative way, for oul
common good. No mention has beer
made of encouraging other people tc
come to this community to establish
themselves at any of our meetings as
yet. We have very few idle farms
here, so we have not felt the need Of
stressing this as yet.
1 am certain, however, that the
Community club will welcome any
one who will become an asset to the
community.
At the present the club is mostly
interested in getting recreational
program in our community. But frs,
of all we must shave a hall of ade-
quate size to carry on this program
am very Interested in an article
from the Cooperative Builder written
by Werner NJ Hegg of Milwaukee
Wis, and think this program can be
worked out in our own communities
whether we are all cooperators or not
Our young folks are driving 20 OF
80 miles to other towns to rollerskate
We should be able to furnish that
form of recreation in our own COM
munity.
The article is as follows:
"The discussion that has continued
the past weeks relative to the place
that recreation should have in the CO.
operative educational program shows
that we have different ideas. Some
think of recreation as waste OF time
when there are so many pressing

able spot of promoters of war right
at their pocketbook.
There has been drafted another
non-war profits tax bill in recent
years by Senator Nye. Having been
interested in this kind of legislation
for years, l have of course read his
bill also. 1t is lengthy bill of some
5000 words. Rather than curb war
profits, this bill stops all profits in
time OF war, or in other words, sets
up kind of totalitarian or collec-
twist state. In short it would
change our form of government
In order to make the bill constitu-
tional, the states would have to ratify
at least three constitutional amend
ments. Senator Nye of course real
lied this and be it said to his credit
he has never pushed his own bill for
passage, as it would be a hopeless
task to try and get the American
people to underwrite a proposal of
that nature
l mention this bill because I noted
that certain gentlemen here in Min
nesota are trying to revive it, the
strategy of course being to divert
attention from the May bill. One of
the men trying to promote this served
on the general staff of Senator Nye's
munitions investigating committee
and therefore must know of the pit
falls that Nye's war profits tax bill
fell into. After years of study they
gave the task up as hopeless, yet
now he is trying to revive the same
idea of non-profit state-why? I've
already told you-excuse please.
In closing this argument, at least
insofar as l am concerned, permit
me to say l always respect and still
though different from my own; pro-
viding they are honest and sincere
opinions. In fact, 1 have much more
respect for them than have for those
who are too lazy or Indifferent to
form an opinion of their own. So
many are content to sit back and
scott and let others do their think
ing for them. 1 trust that none, or
at least none of any intelligence thinks
for one minute that members of the
Legion are not sincere and honest
in supporting the Sheppard-May bill
a bill which is the result of years and
years of study and research.

THINKING THROUGH
Editor AkoV American:

Chas. D. Egley submits a statement
signed by the three Congressman who
drafted the minority report on the
May bill and cites this statement as
proof that the bill does none of the
things it is supposed to do. First
the statement says the bill does none
of the things it's supposed to do, and
then in the last paragraph of the
statement these same three Congress
men admit that it does.
1 quote this paragraph: eft is
against the interest of business, of
labor and the veterans of all wars
America has fought. There is not a
single phase of American life, single
endeavOr, or a man, woman or child
in this nation who would not be di-
rectly affected Immediately upon the
operation of this proposed act"
That is correct statement and it
is exactly what we want, we want
the bill to adversely affect every
man, woman and child in America
In order to have war some group must
WALL IL VI WOuiOIl NC Cily .
When even the opposition admits that
the bill is against the best interests
of every man, woman and child in
America, then we are really begin
ming to get somewhere. Make war
so darned tough that none will want
it. That's what we want, Mr. Egley.
Apply little continuity of thought
to the subject and you will probably
be able to see that yourself.
Surely none are SO naive as to
believe that war can ever be any,
thing but a horrible catastrophe for
the laborer, the soldier, the farmer
and common man, but the fact re-
mains that our last one was kind
of Sunday school picnic affair for
certain gentlemen who made millions
out of it. Am glad to note the adj
mission that the May bill is against
their interests, also with every mans,
woman's and childs interest affected
in this bill none are going to work
| for war. This is realistic world,
Mr. Egley. The May bill is stark
