 (The comintern is the Third In- ternatlonal,, the Communist organ- ization devoted to spreading Con- munism throughout the world)
 "The pact Is a equalization of stalin before Fascist Imperialism with the end of preserving the so- viet oligarchy," he said.

Direct
Urged for
Little Fellow
Lusk Tells G. O. p.
Women 1t Is a Way
Of Cutting Lines

Cold cash in taxes for the little
fellow" as well as for the man of
larger income, was advocated by
Rufus s. Lusk. president of the
Washington Taxpayers Association
yesterday at a meeting Of the League
of Republican Women, at the May
flower Hotel, as a means of reducing
taxes and reducing national ex-
penditures.
''The tax burden of Americans
stands little chance of being ma
terially reduced until the little fell
low who earns 81 900 or $4,000 pays
his taxes in cold cash." declared Mr..
Lusk. "The low income man pays
taxes" he continued, plenty of
them, but because he does not see
the tax, he believes the other fellow
carries the load"
Mr.. Lusk expressed the belief that
when everyone is taxed openly and
frankly that many large outlays,
which he declared are often hand
OUTS" will largely subside. The "lit-
tie man" may not realize 1t, Mr..
Lusk asserted, but approximately
6 per cent of his income goes for
taxes in such commodities as bread,
sugar, clothes, drugs and innumer-
able other items. Few realize, he
added that SO different taxes are
paid on bread, 345 taxes on an auto
mobile, 63 on a suit Of colthes, with
other commodities and necessities
bearing numerous different taxes.
when the average working man
begins to know these facts" said
Mr.. Lusk," the efforts of pressure
groups and politicians to take an
increasingly larger part Of every
body's earning may be stopped"
More taxpayers must take a
greater interest in their Govern
ment, declared Mr.. Lusk, and show
continuous concern in what pub
lie officials are doing with their
money if the tax burden is to be
alleviated.
Government relief agencies Of
various kinds were blamed in part
by Mr.. Lusk for excessive taxation,
and many are receiving compen-
sation without justification, at the
pense of the taxpayer, he asserted.
why, if man is smart enough"
Mr.. Lusk said, "he can be on relief
from the time he is born until
the time he dies. In fact" he added,
''he can receive relief before his
birth because his mother may re-
ceive prenatal care from Govern
ment agencies" Mr.. Lusk gave a
brief sketch of how a smart man"
might idle his life away without
work and at the expense OF the
Government until he ''is retired at
65 and receives a pension" to the
amusement of his audience.
"It won't be long before it will
be as politically wise for politician
to back economy as it was to turn
wet in 1892" he concluded. Those
who did not sense the turn then
were swept away. So may it be
with many an of1ceholder who does
not sense that the American peo-
pie are just about fed up with all
this senseless spending"
Mrs. Edward E. Gam presided
at the meeting and Mrs James G..

duced the speaker.
