Bruce Cation in Washington
Disseets the News

In its upper brackets it is
frankly 6snfiscatory with rates
running as high as SO per cent on
top incomes; indeed. as is stands
now the bills tax schedule would
when state income taxes are
added in-exact in taxes from
wealthy man more than his en-
tire years income.
The significant point about the
bill is that when it was intro
duced last March by Senator Bone
of Washington, it bore the names
OF so senators as sponSors-enough
to get the bill passed, if all of the
sponsors stay in line. Whether they
will do so, if the White House
actively opposes the measure is
doubtful, since on the list are ad-
ministration stalwarts like Pepper
of Florida Lee of Oklahoma and
Wagner of New York.
The administration claims a safe
majority for embargo repeal in the
House. but the fight there is not
over.
Joe Martin, minority leader sug-
gests that probably no one really
knows just what the House line
up is, since not more than about
100 members have been in Wash
ington since the opening day of the
special session.
One thing is certain: the admin
istration neglected its spadework
in the House during the first weeks
Of the fight concentrating all its
efforts on the Senate, and woke ur
Just recently to the fact that il
faced an uphill fight in the other
chamber.
Meanwhile the isolationists were
active on the House side. An in
formal group of about score of pre-
embargo congressman took pains
to keep in contact with each state
delegation and to perform mission
airy work whenever possible. This
group insists that retention of the
embargo is no worse than a 50-5(
bet right now.
Senator Nye, one of the isola.
ZIONIST leaders, is frankly pessim.
istic about the country's prospect,
with the embargo repealed.
First we'll see that big swarm
of airplanes sent overseas he says
Then there will be other goods
plus a steadily increasing pressur,
for relaxation of our restrictions
on loans.
,"As these shipments increase
there will be more and more sub
marine Warfare-Which. I believe
will come closer and closer TO ou
shores.
II wish I could believe that tn
. administration is right in think
ing that repeal will discourag

| arms and cry for peace. But some
, how I don't see it that way"

AT The LAST MINUTE

Promoters Of the Ham-and-Eggs pen
sion scheme are smart campaigners. They
have been smart enough to date to mulct
hundreds of thousands of dollars from
the aged and needy Of California, VINO
cannot well afford TO spend the few pen
nies they have contributed TO this rain
bow-end dream 40
Being smart campaigners, the ~
Thursday promoters can be expected at
the last minute to flood the state with
propaganda, literature, speeches and
every other imaginable form OF publlclty
seeking passage of the act which would
set up an economic dictatorship in Call
fornia. =
Worse, they know there will not be
time to answer ridiculous claims about
what the plan will do-so their CLAIMS
will in all probability hit new high
in both oratory and lack of logic
The voter who wants to cast his ballot
sanely, wisely and well can do no better
than to examine every statement he
hears or reads in the light of cold logic.
If everyone does that the Ham-and-Egg
plan will be soundly beaten.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in their
fight 10 retain the arms embargo
iSolationisets, senators are looking
ahead to the next session Of Con-
gress and are planning TO make a
determined drive for a stringent
war profits taxation bill.
AS a matter of fact. they would
like to see this DILL taken up at
once. But the administration had
the votes to get the Senate ad-
iourned. and the matter will have
to wait until the next session in
January.
THIS bill is <ne which was
drawn up as result OF the work
of the famous Nye munitions COM
mittee. 1t is probably the most
startling taxation bill ever seriously
considered in Congress.

One of the finest of notices was
that of Admiral Peary, dlScoVerer

tacking the north, he was beaten
bv the ice. His feet were so badly
frozen that he had to be carried by
his men. They took him into q room
at Fort Cresson and laid him tender

fearing he would never be able to
walk again. He slept heavily for
hours. When he aWoke. he was re-

seldom does the United StntN'
Senate provide more moving and I'M
pressive drama than that which
was on display when Senators
Norris and La Toilette debated the
merits of the La Toilette war re-
ferendum proposal.
To listen to it was to go back
to the spring of 1917, when a hand
full of senators fought bitterly to
avert a declaration of war with
Germany.
One of that handful was Sena-
tor Robert M. La Toilette of Wis
consin-father of the senator who
was now trying to write into the
neutrality act a provision for a
nationwide advisory election to
precede any vote on a foreign war.
Another was Senator George w.
Norris Who having stood shoulder
to shoulder with the elder La
Toilette in 1917 and endured the
obloouy that was visited on the
little group of willful men, was
now opposing the younger La Fol-
lette motion.
There was Senator La Toilette
who remembered the trying days
of 1917 when his father fought un-
successfully against war. and who
now was arguing that if the people
could vote first there would be
much less likelihood that the Con-
gress would declare an overseas
war. Recalling that never in Amer
lean history has Congress refused
to declare war when a president
asked it to, he cried:
Congress has only the power to
write APPROVAL across a foreign po-
icy of chief executive when
that policy has finally eliminated
in a demand by the executive that
Congress vote a declaration of war
Then, Mr. President, l find from
my brief experience that it writes
it with cheers, mixed with epithets
and howls of derision against those
few men who may oppose the re-

30-THURSDAY AND
THE PRESS
(By Leone Baxter)

After the fashion of newspaper edit
ors-who, to accomplish their two-fold
job of reporting the news and analyzing
ii editorially, have to know Il good deal
more about public questions than the
common run of uS-virtually every edi-
tor in California has burned the midnight
oil-studying 30-Thursday. And virtual
ly every editor has recorded his strong
opposition to it.
Pomoters of the plan retaliated first
with shafts hurled at bought and paid
for" press, 1.-The tools of big business"
in thousands of speeches, dozens of issues
of their own newspaper, and millions of
pieces of printed literature.
Lately, the campaign against Califor
MIA newspapers has started in earnest, to
throttle individual editorial opinion.
Your home town editor, if he's been
bold enough to take stand against
Ham and Eggs" may be among those
who have felt the screws tighten down.
Ii so, he's been warned his subscription
list will be reduced by the exact number
of Ham and Egg" members it includes,
or he's been subject to a new twist III
intimidation = secondary boycott
against his chief source of revenue-hls
advertisers.
Wholesale gagging of the press is new
in this country. It's strictly an import
"a leaf from the pages of Hitler, Mus
SOlini and Stain.
Whether it's successful or falls flat,
depends as much as anything else on
whether an editors townspeOple believe
him to be a blackguard without shred
of integrity, as the Ham and Eggs"
promoters insist he is-or whether they
have come to know him as a pretty hu-
man fellow who tries to do his part in
the job of building the community.
There are 72s editors in California
729 pretty straight thinking Americans,
accustomed to fighting the battles of
their own communities on their own edi-
torial pages. Many already are taking
the heat for saying what they honestly
think, after studying the Ham and
Eggs" proposal. They oppose it for many
reasons:
Because both President Roosevelt and
Governor Olson, after study, nave warn
ed against the scheme.
Because labor leaders believe it over
rides the right to strike and picket. (Sec
2, Par. 81
Because it is based ON spending our
selves rich" and places 100 per cent
penalty on savings. (Sec. 6, Par. b.
Because it would close all WPA and
PWA Jobs, since the United States gov
ernment matches dollars, not warrants.
Because it places a heavy tax on
church collections, and classes all bene-
VIOLENT work = Community Chest, Red
Cross. Salvation Army-as "undeslr-

Because the so-called dollar war
rants could not be cashed until after
S1.O4 in stamps had been stuck on their
backs.
Because the trick bank set up IN the
act will not make home loans.
Because the promoters place them-
selves by name above the courts, above
the law, above the people. (Secs. a, 30

USA No Democracy For
Colored, Says Writer

NEW YORK, Feb. 8-The Feb
ruary issue of the Survey Graphic
is devoted entirely to 1.-THE Chal-
lenge to Democracy" under the
title of Calling America" The
special guest editor for the issue
is Raymond Gram Swing.
In his article showing up the
shortcomings of American demo-
cracy toward the Negro, Mr. Gan
nett points out the discrimination
in schools, jobs, sports, housing,
legal rights and basic citizenship
rights. He calls for equal oppor-
tunity for individual Americans
everywhere and expresses the hope
that Americas new awakening to
the denial of democracy abroad
will result in fulfilling the promis-
es of our own democracy at home.
He concludes:
1--WE still have a habit of for
getting about Negroes when talk
ing about democracy in America.
And while we are resenting the
plight of the Jews in Germany, we
may we'll think harder about Ne
groes in America"
