WHO'S AFRAID OF-?"

Well. said Harrison, coming from the White House, if anybody wants to get in the Presidents hair let him continue to use the phrase "ap- basement of business" as repre- senting MT, Roosevelt's attitude. Maybe it is appeasement but it isn't the kind that comes from being scared" as were England and France at Munich. Or at least it won't do any good to carry on the idea that the President is so scared that he is going to give business everything it wants. That is what Harrison intimated.
 The President promised to go to his thesaurus to find better word and told the press to "go thou and do likewise" Anyway, he said, the press invented the word, not the President.
 Well, there are others having word trouble. Jerome Frank. Se- curities and Exchange Commis- sioner, said that certain words stirred up bad associations and prevented clear thinking. So he in- vented trio of new ones and said others could be designed.
 He was discussing monopoly Monoply, he said sounds like a crime, but certain monopolistie systems are socially desirable, no- tably telephone and water sys- tems. To such monopolies he ap- piled the name Ugwug.
 In turn. he said regulation of in dustry often seemed to mean ex- cessive governmental intervention or regimentation Yet some regu- lation is highly desirable He calls it AgWag.

LONDON, March 28.--The new crisis" Hitler provoked when he wrote sequel to Munich by march ing his troops into Czecho-Slovakia was not viewed here as THE crisis many people have thought would break this spring or summer.
 This was just a baby crisis. It did not mean a general war because Britain and France naturally would not fight for country they virtually had given to the German dictator through the Munich "unsettlement" last fall
 Hitler did not need outright con- trol of Czecho- -Sloyakia to get his army within easy striking distance of Russias rich Ukraine, long be- lieved his goal. He already had ob- tained permission to build super highway rapidly going for ward-clear through to the little nations eastern frontier.
 Likely Explanations
 
 Then why did he strike?
 These reasons are advanced by London students of tangled middle European affairs:
 1. Hitler was performing sort of bookkeeping operation-making official and strengthening the dom nation Germany won over the Czechs last fall when it took the republics Maginot line.
 2. He may have felt it necessary to check the growing 'impudence' of Poland, Yugoslavia, Hungary and Rumania, who, presumbaly encour- aged by the stronger stand of Bri- tain and France in recent months, have been showing signs of being unwilling to play Charlie Mccarthy to Hitlers Bergen.
 3. He may have been determined to consolidate his central European position so as to be free to help Italy in her demands for territorial concessions from France in the Mediterranean area.
 Whatever the immediate reason, Hitler has smoothed the way for his continuing drang mach osten For it certainly will be easier for him to advance eastward through a country he controls outright.
 Trouble Ahead?
 Besides, the taking over of Bo- hemia. Moravia and Slovakia puts an additional 100000 people under

PULSE OF THE PUBLIC

process of law.
Likewise, economists, if not
politicians, have long agreed
that taxes on any enterprise dis
courage that enterprise. A re-
tail sales tax of go will cause
trade to fall off PC, simply be-
cause people will have go less
money with which to buy.
Business taxes reduce business
income, and hence encourage in
vestment in less useful lines.
Taxes on products of labor re-
duce the power of labor to buy
back what it has produced. Poll
taxes discourage voting. Gas
taxes limit the use of automo-
biles.
The main point in all of this is
clear:
Taxes discourage the activities
upon which they bear.
There are some activities,
however, that should be discour-
aged. Chief among these is the
activity of owning land merely
to rent it out or to sell it later
at higher prices.
A tax upon land-values would
curtail the useless and harmful
activity of living by ownership
of the earth. It would encour-
age the useful and beneficial
activity of living by using land,
by investing in business, by
working, and by producing.
Instead of paving rents to the
landowners. and taxes to the
government, let's try paying
rents to the government. and
no taxes In this lies the key
to recovery, and 10 a simplified,
purposive taxing system.
