passion with the Polish hierarchy,
its clergy and people in this, its hour
Of bitter sorrow.
Like mighty champion, this no
BILE Christian people has stood at the
outpost of Christian Europe to wit
ness and defend the cross. Only
yesterday amidst the mysterious
changes of the times, the cross in

ness came to Calvary, sorrow and
suffering have settled on the Chruch

Holy Father Quoted.
"As our holy father says: The
ever non -combatants, raises pite-
Gus dirge over nation such as our
dear Poland, which for its fidelity to
the church, for its defense of Chris
tian civilization, written in indellble
characters in the annals of history,
has right to the generous and
brotherly sympathy of the whole
world, while it awaits, relying on
Mary, help of Christians, the hour
of a resurrection in harmony with
the principles of justice and true
peace
"Poland's faith, which Divine
Providence wills to appear more lus-
trous in storm and tempest, looks
confidently to an approaching Easter
morn of peace in justice and charity.
We, the bishops of the United
States, extend our sympathy to our
brothers of the Episcopate of Poland.
We shall not forget them and their
f1ocks in our charity and with our
people we suppliantly beg the Virgin
of Chestochova to bring peace and
succor to the suffering in Poland
and once more confound the world
by making the blood-stained, dev-
astated church of Poland, like CAL
varys blood-stained cross, the por-
tent of new triumphs for Christ,
our King"

FT'S A BIG HELP ! That's what women say
about the new Spoon-Sift Top on McCor-
mick Spices. Just a twist of the disc
uncovers small openings for sprinkling.
Another twist and there's an opening
large enough to insert teaspoon or small
measuring spoons. This handy new pack
age is just one more reason why you should
use Mccormick Spices. Another is that,
because of their extra fine seasoning
quality, more women use Mccormick

DEATH WATCH iS NOW BEGUN FOR
 DOOMED SLAYER

A death watch has been placed on Nelson Charles, Ketchikan Native sentenced to die for the murder of his mother-in-law, U. s. Marshal William T. Mahoney said today
 Early Friday morning Charles will walk 13 steps up to new scaffold- ing and drop approximately four and one-half feet before the hang mans knot snaps him short to sever his spinal column where it crosses from shoulders to the base of the brain.
 Who'll pull the string that trips the trap? The man who does it will not know himself, for it is likely that four men from the office of the United States Marshal will each hold a string, which each will pull at the same time, and nobody will know if it is was his string and his finger that exacted the penalty imposed by the United States.

COUNCIL MINER
 TELLS TALE OF
 SWEDISH SHELL

CharIes StTom, veteran mining man from Council, has six asso- citation claims leased out on the Nuikluk River where in the early days he staked the river itself while everyone else raced into the hills.
 During the past year, lessors AL aska Gold Dredging have taken out $6O,000 and Strom is heading out for a brief sojourn in the States.
 Of Scandinavian extra action n Strom has ideas on Sweden and Russia being entangled in war. The thought of it brought to mind 8 story.
 "There was big shooting match, '' Strom said, and everyone was shooting at a big target on the water. They weren't doing so well and then along came the Swedes with their secret shell. Then there wasn't any target.
 The Russians asked for two of the shells to study out the secret of their fierce eXplosiveness and the Swedes lent two with the ad- monition to be careful in opening them.
 One Russian fellow took the first shell down in the basement and he wasn't careful in opening it" Strom said. They sent the other shell back"
 That, apparently, is Strom's opinion of how Russia might fare with Sweden and the rest of hel Scandinavian 'neighbors.
 Strom arrived on the Alaska last night and is sailing south agair 1 after a few days visit here.

Unplanned Taxation
oCincinnati Enquirer)


 Senator Bone and various colleagues have intro duced in the Senate a bill to impose income taxes in the event of war Perhaps severe" is not quite the right word Senator Bones tax measure would take virtually all of the income of persons in the surtax brackets.
 In fact it would take than this. Estimates made with indicate that under this pro posal a resident of New York with income of half million dollars would wind up the year very badly after paying Federal and state income taxes Indeed he would have to use his entire income and take S26130 of his capital to pay income taxes alone. This, without paying any other taxes keeping any thing to live on
 Obviously such taxation would not help to win a Rather it would destroy the normal incentives to work and invest It would create new injustces of fragrant It would remove the possibility of expanding production facilities except as the govern ment itself engaged in the financing of business.
 is it certain that Senator Bones war taxation program would be deterrent to war. Fantastically high taxation would discourage resort to war only if it could be shown that the desire war profits is reality significant cause of war The answer to this is rather clear. When scares develop, security prices go down. and not up. War, in other words. would be injurious to business and profits not helpful And most investors and businessmen know it.
 Heavy taxation will be necessary in any which may come. It is better method of financing war activities than bond issues although it takes some courage in Congress But to enact specific tax ues at confiscatory level in advance of war is to hamper the conduct of future without actually doing anything to prevent entanglement in a foreign conflict
