Dear Friends:
"Some time ago you had a column
discussing the problem of girls who
think they don't have enough dates,
and you said that at certain ages
there just weren't enough boys to
go around.
"Well, we boys just can't escort
girl around every night in the
week. We have to have at least one
night in seven to stay home and play
cards or listen to the radio or do
something else. Personally, think
the girls expect too much from a
fellow And you can print that as
my answer to the too few dates
problem. LOUIS S.
True words. Louisi One night a
week at home is certainly not ask
ing too much. We don't think many
girls would expect even the most
confirmed glamour boy to be on the
prowl seven nights out of seven!
But we'd like to hear from few
girls on this point. How about it,
you feminine readers? Do you ex-
pect too much of the fellows?

One of the senior officials OF
the Palestine administration, who
has a direct responsibility and a
large measure of control in the
censorship, is a graduate of a Ger
man university who has many ties
and friendships in Germany. He
visited the Reich shortly before
the war, and on his return to Je-
rusalem he remarked to me in an
unguarded moment:
"Of course the NaZis' treatment
of the Jews is brutal and barbaric,
but after all they are right in some
of the things they say a bout
them"
For a man charged with duties
of major Importance in admins
tering the country of the Jewish
homeland, this was bad enough in
peacetime. In war, it becomes a
positive menace.
Common knowledge in Palestine
is the attitude of the highest rank
ing official who told Jewish
business man: ~ don't like to en-
courage Jewish business because
that encourages Jewish labor, and
1 don't like to encourage Jewish
labor because that encourages
Jewish immigration, and 1 don't
like to encourage Jewish immigra-
ton because I don't like Jews"
That man, and others of his
stripe, still hold their posts in war;
beleaguered Palestine. Their view
point, at best, can hardly be con-
sistent with readiness to struggle
to the death against Nazism; at
worst, it might produce actual
treachery. T he handling of the
Palestinian censorship in the war
has unquestionably been such that
| a good case could be made for the
thesis that it is helping the enc
my and not Britain. The same
thing can be said of the protec-
ton of civilians against air raids,
particularly in view of the fact
that experience has shown that
Measuring arrangements to pre-
vent panic are as essential an ele.
ment of defense as guns an6
planes.
The Churchill Government ap.
parently has been making a reaj
effort to ferret out elements tha,
may undermine the united deter.
mination of BritOns to defend
their freedom and democracy. II
might not be bad idea for then
to take a good, sharp look into
Palestine.

ward Keith Roach, District Com
missioner of Jerusalem. He said:
"GOd helps those who help them
selves"
No anti-aircraft guns were in
stalled in Tel Aviv, and apparent
ly there are still none there.
Stranger still, there is no word of
a single British plan opposing the
raiders, although a major military
airfield is within a few minutes
flight.
One wonders what the British
people and the world at large
would say if the Nazis winging
over London encountered no bal
loon barrage, no anti-aircraft fire,
no defending fighter planes.
And there is something more.
The raid took place on September
9. It was reported in British
military communique in Cairo on
the 10th, and the whole world
knew about it from the British and
Italian wireless that day. But mes
sages from newspaper correspon-
dents in Palestine itself were held
up by the censor there, and were
not released until September IL.
If you were the chief of censor
ship in a country at war and the
enemy carried out WantOn at
tack on your unarmed civilian pop
ulatiOn, killing and wOunding hum
dreds of a community which you
knew had friends and relatives all
over the world and notably in the
United States, whose friendship
your country was frantically WOO
ing, how would you handle the
news of the raid? Would you not
regard it as an occasion when
newspaper correspondents should
be allowed to report freely and
quickly on the destruction and
carnage, to rally the natural in
dignatiOn of humanity on behalf
Of your cause? Can you imagine
how quickly the British Govern
ment would throw out of office a
censor in England who delayed
for one unnecessary minute press
messages to America reporting the
slaughter of civilians in London
by NaZi bombs?
But this was Palestine. The CEN
sor held up those dispatches with
their narrowing stories for hours
and days, until they were so old,
and so m a ny new events had
crowded after the Tel Aviv raid,
that no newspapers would print
them.
One hears a good deal these
days about the internal menace to
democracy in its fight against fas-
cism, of men in seats of power
who are not really believers in de-
mOcracy, not true defenders of
human rights. The Palestine Gov
eminent would be one likely place
to look for such men. The same
thing may be said to some degree
of colonial OfficialdOm in other
territories of the British Empire,
but in the Holy Land it is particu-
larly noticeable.

IN fdleSC1nes
The italian announcement al
terward that the raid was directed
against the port of Jaffa was pure
idiocy, for if Mussolini's airmen
were aiming at that target, then
the announcement is tantamount
to saying that they are even worse
marksmen than they have been
previously reported to be.
They did not have the excuse
that their aim was spoiled by de-
Tending planes and anti-aircraft
guns. The dispatches m a k e no
mention whatever of any defense.
On the contrary, Mayor ROkach's
cable to President Roosevelt re-
ferred to Tel Aviv as an open
town.
This raises the question of the
British side of the raid, and there
is something more than strange
about it. The first flare of indigna-
ton naturally turns against Italy,
but on reflection one wonders
what is going on in the British de-
tense of Palestine.
Almost two years ago British
military Air Raid Precautions ex-
pert, after a survey of Palestine,
warned publicly tn t Tel Aviv
might be a target for Italian
bOmbers, not because of military
Importance, of which it has none,
but for terrOrizatiOn. The reply of
the Palestine Government to the
experts warnings about danger
to civilians i'm Tel Aviv, Haifa and
elsewhere, and the need for Gov

West explained that he thought
his partners pass of the redouble
indicated strength, so that a prof
liable set of the contract was in
sight. East said he thought his
partner would have treated a bid
at that spot as indicating
strength.
All of which points to the value
of new partners agreeing on the
meaning to be attached to a bid
over such a redouble. Lacking
any agreement, perhaps a wise
course for East would have been
to bid, since he had a fve-card
major, pass otherwise. In this
case, 2-Spades would have been
set badly, perhaps four tricks
doubled, but that would have cost
only HOO points, and so would

a means by which these hidden

a means by which these hidden
taxes we're increased tremen-
dously. 1t happened this way:
The House Ways and Means
Committee was battling with
the tax problem. 1t had boosted
income taxes as high as u
thought it could; it had bur
dened corporations with all the
taxes they could stand; and II
still needed money. One Com
mitteeman explained this to the
newspaper reporter, who, after
thinking for a minute, asked:
well, why don't you put a TAX
on electric refrigeratorS?'
The Committee snapped up
the suggestion. 1t worked out a
system under which consumers
nav millions in taxes annually
without knowing it. The govern
ment now not only taxes re-
frigerators, but radios, automo-
biles and accessories, chewing
gum, lipstick, cold cream, shot
guns, and dozens of similar
things.
It wasn't so long ago that
attorney General Murphy SAID
that a billion dollars a year
could be saved in government
costs by looping a million en-
ployees off all public payro!ls.
But less than a month ago, the
total number of people on the
Federal payroll reached the
highest figure in history. And
just since Murphy made that
suggestion, the Federal debt has
increased more than a billion
and a half dollars.
Experts, even including some
in the Treasury, say taxes in
many fields already have
reached the point of diminish
ing returns" BY that they
mean, in effect, that the tax
rates are so high that they
bring in less money than they
would if they were lower; that
some people don't care to make
more money because they'll just
have to turn it over to the gov
eminent.
Statistically, the truth is that
in the 20's, only IL cents out of
every dollar of income produced
was taken in taxes for purposes
of government, but today the
figure is 81 cents. That is pro-
gress - toward a government
which takes all of everybody's
money and does with it as It
sees fit.

start off the New Year think
ing about something more
pleasant than taxes, but if they
want to keep the subject from,
becoming even more unpleas-
ant, they had better think
about it.
The reason is that Washing
ton is proWling around looking
for more taxes. Even the most
| optimistic cannot see, on the
basis of the new Federal budget
how the national government
can avoid spending more thar
it takes IN unless it increases
taxes.
The lawmakers are in a spot
This is an election year. Consti,
tuents are getting tired of see
ing red figures on Uncle SAM
books at the end of each year
But the only way the Congress
| men can eliminate the figures
is to cut expenditure, borrow
more money, raise taxes, or try
I some combination of these three
! devices. And it also is cOnSid-
cred politically unwise to in
crease taxes or reduce govern
ment handouts in an election
year.
What the Congressman now
seek is a painless" taxa tax
that the average voter pays
without realizing it. The truth
is that already more than hall
the governments income is col
lected that way. Secretary Nor
| genthau recently calculated that
consumers paid So per cent of
1888 taxes. These were levies
like those on tobacco, gasoline,
and what are called excise
taxes but which actually are
sales taxes.
OF course the New Dealers
like taxes of that kind. They
can spend and spend and the
average citizen does not realize
that he is paying taxes which
the government gives back tc
him in the form OF relief OF
benefit payments or a new post
office, after deducting the cost
of handling the money.
| In short, the taxpayer think;
he is getting something for no
thing. Henry T. Rainev of ILL

of Representatives, paraphrasec

1.-The ideal method of ia,
collection is to get the mos
feathers with the leaS squawk'
ing of the goose"
Secretary Wallace, who is ar
guing for a revival of the pro
cessing taxes under the dis
guised name certificate plan,
is a follower of that school o
thought. The other day he wa
quoted as saying at a press con
ference:
THE great advantage of tn

JOBS ANTIDOTE FOR
COMMUNISM

On her way from Seattle to Los
Angeles, Mrs. Franklin d. Roosevelt
told reporters at San Francisco that
the important thing to worry about in
connection with American youth is
"jobs" and Opportunities, and not
their little experiments with Com
munism and radicalism.
She said, "The thoughts of these
young people are pliable. They are,
if left without guidance, good mate
rial for Communists. They may be
nodded and influenced in a manner
which will ultimately be reflected in a
manner injurious to our democratic
form of government"
She directed attention to the fact
that the Communists presented "a
definite program" to the young job
less folks. She continued, "If we are
really interested in democracy, we
will be out working for and with the
youth in the same ardent way. We're
the stupid ones"
She called the tactics followed by
some practically the same as hand
ing our youth to the Communists.
Where are our young people going to
get help and guidance if we don't pro-
vide such things for them?"
