Representative Kennedy, Demo-

frequently with the State Depart

the pending resolution was "just SC

for the purpose of misleading the

Congress drew criticism from the
Chief Executive.

Congress drew criticism from the
Chief Executive.
That Mr.. Roosevelt's attitude was
tempered somewhat by developments
Of the ensuing few months became
evident in his opening message to
Congress in January, when he re-
marked upon the adequacy Of the
existing tax structure under circum-
stances of improved business. That
such improvement depends in large
part upon less tax tinkering is a
corollary fact, recognition of which
by Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Morgen-
thau is indeed welcome.
At the same time, it does not seem
amiss to remind the administration
leadership that there are other fac
tors of Government policy-among
them the free-style spending habits,
the threat Of publicly-subsidized
competition, and the tendency to-
ward overregulation which exert
direct and immediate influence upon
business trends.
A constructive review of all these,
with business cooperating rather
than obstructing, would be a service
to the Nation.

Since its organization in 1884 as

the bank has come to fill an essential
place in American economy.
At this very moment its role is
doubly important for promotion of
United States trade with Latin
America, providing as it does special
facilities for meeting the export sub
sides of Americas competitors there.
Its activities cover a wide range of
agricultural and industrial exports,

Appeusement

Belated though they may be. the
assurances OF the past few days from
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Morgenthau that the administration
is not contemplating further harass-
ment of business through imposition
Of new and heavier taxes must be
received with qualification.
Through nearly six years of New
Deal experimentation, business has
been charged heavy toll for It's priv
ilege of operating, giving employ
ment, supplying the Nations needs,
and-at Understanding a profit.
But the depressing effect of this levy
by Government has come not so
much from its measure in dollars as
in its punitive implications and the
continued uncertainty occasioned by
new tax schemes.
At its last session, Congress recog-
nized a previous error in the enact
ment Of the undistributed corporate
profits tax and rectified the mistake
In part by Its drastic modification.
At that time, however, the adminis-
tration leadership apparently did not

From the Topeka (Kans) Capital.
1t is not always popular to try and
change the Constitution, but the trainers
of that wonderful document omitted
one duty which should be remedied at
the earliest opportunity. They did not
fix the political status of future resi-
dents of the District of Columbia, In
which the national Capitol is located
These half million people are subject
to all the laws enacted by Congress, yet
are deprived of the right to participate
through duly elected representatives in
the enactment of those laws. They
cannot vote for the President who ap-
points their administrative and judicial
officers. They are required to pay heavy
taxes and bear arms in time of war.
When measured with other American
citizens the residents of Washington are
excelled by no others, but when it comes
to possession and exercise of vital and
fundamental political rights, they are
rated in the same class as the criminal
and the lunatic.
Congress could do no greater service
to these disenfranchised citizens than
to pass the Capper resolution now pend
ing to submit an amendment whicn
would correct an oversight on the part
of the constitutional convention which
wrote the fundamental law of the land.
The proposed amendment does not make
