iessly exterminated lest they prove
a burden during evacuation. Said
one weeping pet owner: cts a
damn shame. 1t ought to be Hitler
on the end of this leash"
Such was the MISUNDERSTANDING
background for war. Since 1885 he
had accepted it's inevitability, yet
the awful reality Of legalized brute
force somehow left him benumbed.
He watched without passion as Brit
aims popular Winston Churchill and
Anthony Eden-both foes of APP
peasement - were given cabinet
posts to solidify public sentiment.
He slowly built halo around the
head of Prime Minister Chamber
lain, whose frantic umbrella waving
of the past two years had at least
postponed the war. He may, have
wept over the news that French
troops marched to the front cal
most tenderly," hating war yet fer
vent in their ambition to smash
Hitler and all that he represents.
But as such things happen, Brit
ish and French men-on- the-street
were whipped into war frenzy the
next morning. Steaming to Mon
treal, the liner Athena was torpe-
decd off Ireland with 1,450 refugee
passengers aboard, providing
enough provocation to make even
the 'tender" French soldiers hate
Germans in general as well as Der
Fuehrer. Paris and London heard
Polish I civilians were suffering
s'frightfully'' as Adolf Hitler headed
for the eastern front and the first
major battle, just getting under
way in Upper Silesia.
After two days Of fighting" the
World war OF 1889 had developed
into a decidedly unorthodox conflict.
British warplanes few over Nurem-
berg but dropped nothing heavier
than propaganda leaflets urging the
German people to discard Der
Fuehrer. Nazi' Anti-aircraft guns
failed to bark back. The same day
French soldiers on the Maginot line
were reported to have set placards
atop their pillboxes, carrying this
message to German soldiers in the

ASIA:
About Face

Most embarrassed by Russia's
non-aggression treaty with Adolf
Hitler were Communists in other
lands, who talked themselves silly
trying to justify their new bedfellow,
socialism. Second greatest embar-
rassment fell to Japan, which only
few weeks ago was busy insulting
U. S., British and French interests
in the Orient. Confident Of her anti
Commitern pact with Italy and Ger
many, still more confident after she
signed a trade treaty with Germany,
Tokyo suddenly found herself friend
less when the Reich adopted Com
rade Stain.
Highly nervous was the Japanese
press as European hostilities got
underway. While war planes con-
tinued to bomb Chungking in an eff
4 fort to close the Chinese war
promptly, the Tokyo cabinet sat in
extraordinary session.
Splendid isolation" was the adj
vice Of Tokyo newspapers, but there
was good evidence Japan was will
ing to turn about and WOO for
democracies' friendship.

Hull severe headache. Under the
present neutrality law, they had no
alternative but to declare an en-
barge on implements of war" for
belligerents. Just as good neu-
trality, in the eyes of Messrs. Roose-
welt, Hull and Sen. Key Pittman,
chairman of the senate committee,
is the ''cash-and-carry" variety I'M
der which any belligerent able to
reach a U. S. port could buy and
carry off all the implements of
war" he wanted.
Not at all impossible as war broke
out was the special congressional
session Mr.. Roosevelt has long
threatened in such an eventuality.
But il he thought congress would
give him a free hand, indeed, II he
thought this free hand might help
him keep the u. S. out of war and
thus pave the way for third term
in 1910, he was badly mistaken.
Gallup polls of public sentiment
found such an assumption wrong on
two counts: -
~ Last April Gallup poll
showed 81 per cent favoring a
change in neutrality. By early Sep
TENDER it had dropped to so per
cent, indicating the nation was less
and less sure that the administra-
ton is right.
(2) Also in early September, an
other poll showed II per cent IA
vored special congressional ses-
sion in case of war, comments re-
vealing that the public would feel
"safer" that way. Whether this
sentiment discredited the Presi-
dents ability, constituted vote of
confidence in his rebellious con-
gress, neither, or both, was any,
body's guess.
Emphatically minus political im-
port, however, were the steps Mr..
Roosevelt took. Clamped down i'm
mediately was the arms embargo.
Confscated were the passports of
all Americans returning from Eu-
rope, while the state department
terminated all u. S. tourist travel
to the continent. Belatedly came the
official proclamation of American
neutrality. Next day the navy de-
partment pondered the ACCESSIBILITY
of assigning naval conveys to mer-
chantmen transporting U. S. citi-
zens from war zones. At the same
time Attorney General Frank Muir
ply began seeking ways to tighten
statutes regulating profiteering dur
ing war time. Still to come were
new farm policies to deal with the
new situation, though an advisory
council was being formed.

POLITICS.:
Neutrality

Well remembered in Washington
is the hot July night Franklin Roose-
welt called the senate foreign rela-
tions committee into his White
House Oval room, discovered he
had insufficient votes to force a
change in the present neutrality
law, and sent the senators away
with acknowledgement that full re-
sponsibility for the failure rested
on their shoulders.
Even better remembered is the
August day at Hyde Park when
Franklin Roosevelt TRADED against
an adjourned congress, pointing out
it had made two enormous bets:
~ that his lend-spend bill was need
less because private enterprise
could do the job alone; (2) that no
neutrality revision was needed, be-
cause there would be no war in
Europe before next January when
congress meets again.
BY September /, four months be-
fore the next normal session, the
President might have boosted that
congress had already lost one bet.

Where Are We Going to
Get Revenue to Pay Debts?

People may ask what the alterna-
tive is. Where are we, as a nation,
going to get the revenue necessary
to pay the interest on this gigantic
public debt Of nation, states and
cities?
The income tax is certain to con-
tinue. It ought to continue, because
those who have incomes must carry
their share, or more. But am
quite sure that every one else ought
to know that he is a part Of the gov
eminent, too. It may be, therefore,
that a general sales tax-open and
above boards the answer. Surely,
it would be better than the present
several hundred hidden taxes that
are nothing more or less than sales
taxes, and quite unevenly distribut-
ed. It would have the effect of
making every one conscious Of his
part, and it would cause quite few
folks to stop and think before they
put pressure on their state legisla-
tors or the members of congress for
new expenditure of public money.
We are paying as much as thirty
cents out of every dollar, now, for
government. The debts are on our
shoulders and must be paid, but
why not have some honesty about
how the money is taken away from
us.
We have heard much about plan
ming for the future, assuring secu-
rity and honeyed words of that kind,
and so it seems not improper to
suggest that attention be given to
a general program of taxation that
win help in bringing about those OBJ
jectives.

Many of the Taxes That Had
Been Tried Failed Miserobly

If read the speech by Mr.. Hanes
correctly, what he had to say was
that good many of the taxes that
had been tried by the suffering
type of New Dealers have failed
miserably. OF course, Mr.. Hanes
could not say it just that way, but
he told of repeal of group of taxes
and revision of others, and in almost
the same breath, he predicted the
changes would aid business recov-
cry.
The thing that is important to me
in this situation is that Mr.. Hanes
had the courage to take a definite
position for reallocation of taxes on
an equitable basis-for I do not be-
lieve anyone can justify the silly
structure that now is used to keep
the federal government going. It
can be said, moreover, that Mr..
Hanes recognizes what confronts the
nation in the way of revenue needs.
None of us have heard very much
from top flight officials lately as to
how this $45, 0O0, 100000 debt is ever
going to be paid. The boys who
spent the money, and had good
time doing it, are Sinking to cover.
They don't want to face the facts.
Whatever their attitude may be,
however, taxes are going to come
higher, Scent dollar or no 59-cent
dollar, and Mr.. Hanes apparently
was willing to tell the country the
story Of taxes up to this time.
Leaders of the house Of represen-
tatives in the last session of con-
gress recognized the general situa-
ton. But they were only half-heart-
ed about it, as politicians always
are when taxation is before them.
New taxes don't encourage votes
anywhere. But the house leaders
put through a resolution authorizing
the ways and means committee to
start study Of the general tax
problem. A subcommittee, headed
by Representative Cooper Of Ten
nessee, was appointed to do the job.
And here is where the treasury got
into the situation, because Mr..
Hanes suggested the treasury could
be Of help in making the study.
Might Be Smart Politics
To Undertake Tax Revision
It is much too early for any one
to hazard guess as to what will
be done. Next year is a year for
general elections, from the Presi-
dent 'on down the line. 1t is rather
unusual for congress to undertake
tax revision Especially upward) in
advance of campaign, but some
how I believe it might be pretty
smart politics to do so next year.
| There is nothing to indicate that Mr..
Hanes had any politics in his mind;

At Home

In the u. S., which has watched
Europe's wars for almost 200 years,
observers were far enough from the
forest to see the trees. Though
President Roosevelt pointed out no
American has the ''moral right" to
capitalize on the conflict, every
economist knew it would probably
start a. BOOM. ''Cash-and-carry"
neutrality would make the U. S.
support Britain and France, which
dominate the seas, opening new
markets for farm products and
steel. But such a neutrality would
also accentuate the already marked

u. S. sentiment against Hitler, con-
founding isolationists by making the
nation q virtual silent ally Of the
allies. Should enough American
non-combatants be killed via tor
pedoes, the fame Of 1916 and 1917
might again blot out reason. Hence
the President urged the u. S. to
weigh its facts with care.
The End?
Next to neutrality, the most moot
question among Americans con-
Germs the eventual end of hostilities.
No longer does anyone but a fanat-
ical anti-German see justice in the
Versailles treaty of 20 years ago,
which wrung likelihood from the
Reich and placed it in such dire
straits that Hitler was welcomed
with open arms. But will Versailles
be repeated?
Unless Russia jumps to Ger
many's aid, unless Mussolini and
Franco junk their apparent neutral
ity, war to the end would prob
ably find Germany collapsing under
economic stress. Hitler No. would
be vanquished, but can anything
short of another 'speace without hon.
or" (such as Woodrow Wilson sug-
gested) keep q Hitler No. 2 from
rising out Of the ruinsl
