Bone War Tax Bill Is
Held SeIf-Defeutinq
Press Believes Proposed Law
Would Cripple Nation
If Attacked

In the opinion of most American press
commentators, the Bone bill to tax prof.
its out of wartime business would not, If
enacted, prove to be war deterrent. On
the contrary, number of newspapers
contend it has done disservice to the
cause it sought to serve because of GER
tain tax absurdities. 1t is also contended
the bill would cause Generalization, eco
nomically and industrially, If the fea-
lures it proposes should be followed in
time of war.
"The scheme proposes the practical
confiscation of higher and private in
comes without taking into consideration
the obligation to pay State and local
taxes" comments the Indianapolis Star.
Chief Justice Marshall said that the
power to tax is the power to destroy.
The authors of this scheme seem to think
it is also the power to commit national
suicide
The Boston Herald excuses some of
its "crudities' as a Well-intended gesture
toward peace, adding, But as practical
measure during war 1t would do more
harm than good. It would probably so
paralyze the ordinary channels of COM
merce as to enforce the establishment of
a socialist economy" That paper is Of
the opinion the bill would place such a
heavy load on industry as wholly to kill
the vigor and adaptability of industry
which we must have during war If we
hope to win it."
The San Francisco Chronicle views the
proposals as dangerous to the peace of
this country. 1t says, THE idea of the
promoters of such measures is the laud-
able one Of discouraging war in advance.
But they think no further than this.
They devise hobbies with a mandate for
their application in wartime. That might
discourage us from starting a war, but
1t would encourage an enemy to start a
war with u.s."

the Easter holidays in which to de-
eide whether or not to validate the
London agreement of April Z.
In an hours talk with the Polish
Ambassador on Saturday, Foreign
Secretary Won Ribbentrop is believed
to have submitted something savor-
ing Of an ultimatum. Germany
plans, in case Warsaw goes through
with the British alliance, to take, in
turn, three steps-O to consider
the 1884 ten-year German Polish
non-aggression pact voided; (2) to
press Poland to cede to the Reich
the Free City of Danzig already
Nazi-dominated; and 60 to permit
the building of an extraterritorial
highway across the Polish Corridor,
to link East Prussia to Germany,
from which it is now separated. The
Corridor by such plan would prac-
tically become Nazi domain. The
implication is that if Poland rejects
these conditions Germany forthwith
would subject her to military pres
sure, thus promptly defying the stop
Hitler alliance.
Other portents Of Nazi coercive
preparation consist of the time-tried
device of stirring up Poland's racial
minorities, mainly Germans and
Ukrainians, to call for the Reich's
intervention as protector, on the
Sudeten and Slovakian models. The
Berlin foreign office has ready for
use reams of details about alleged
atrocities" on defenseless Germans
in the Corridor, so that if and when
Hitler strikes in Poland, familiar
technique will be invoked to justify
the aggression.
The most cursory glance at the
remade map of Europe sufTices to ex-
plain why Germany fumes over the
prospect of a Poland leagued with
the democracies to check domination
OF the continent by force. The Poles
not only impose a large and solid
block of power and territory between
the Reich and Hitler's avowed lust
to command the resources of the
Russian Ukraine, but, with a war
footing army of three million we'll
equipped troops, it is estimated that
Poland, in the event of war, could
engage no fewer than fifty German
divisions along the border of the
Reich and former Czecho-S -Slovakia
Such a preoccupation of Nazi force
in Eastern Europe would seriously
complicate the problem of meeting
Franco-British attack in the West.

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles Z. Tyace1DeH.

loss, in years time, but not enough to
do any particular harm, since some of
the seed planted is always lost. anyway,
through wind, water and hungry birds.
There is not much use trying to protect
planted grass seed against birds. The
best one can do is to see that the seed is
planted at least one-Gghth of an inch
deep. This means, practically, just COW
ering with some sort of earth or peat.
\
There is a growing conviction among
horticulturists that lack OF fertility is
one of the main factors accounting for so
many poor lawns. Neither lack of good
seed nor weather nor preparation is re-
sponsible, but the simple lack of food in
the soil available for the grass plants
and plantlets.
1t is now held that moss growing in a
lawn is not so much due to sour soil, as
formerly believed, as due to lack of fer
tility of the type liked by grass.
A standard 1864 mixture, to be Sc
cured at most seed houses, is to be used
not more than 10 pounds per 1000 square
feet Of grass. Fancy-priced lawn foods"
are really nothing more than this mix
ture of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash.
The standard method now in favor,
based on repeated experiments in the
Eastern States, is to use this fertilizer
three times season, at the rate of 10
pounds per 1000 square feet of lawn
each time.
The first time is in late March or early
April, the second in June and the last in
late August or early September.
The first time. about now the fertilizer
is to be put on dry lawn, preferably in
midafternoon, and then knocked down
off the grass blades by running a rake
through it.
After this raking, it is good plan to
soak the lawn with the hose, not just a
light sprinkle, but real watering. Or
the lawn may be left dry, but in that
event, If very light rain occurs, the
hose must be used to complete the work.
so the watering might as we'll be done in
the first place.
In June, second application of ferti-
lzer is made. Some advocate using the
mixture in water, but this is not neces-
sary, if good watering is given at once.
There is some danger of burning the
grass in hot weather, so some experts do
not fertilize at this time, but wait until
fall.
The autumn application is to invigorate
the roots before cold weather begins, also
to keep the lawn greener during a mild
fall and to keep the brownish look out
of it in cold weather.
Seed should be planted after the ferti-
lizer has been in few days 1t should
be kept in mind that the 1864 mixture
is concentrated. The lawn should be
measured carefully, the number of square
feet ascertained, and not more than 10
pounds-some advocate only 8-used per
1000 square feet. An average home on a
$50 by so foot lot will have about 5000
square feet of lawn, after house, garage,
walks and borders are counted out.
