HOW SHERMAN SAID 1T

General William Tecumseh Sherman
achieved great fame as a military leader,
but his name is most frequently recalled by
a remark which he made in a very brief
speech, to the effect that war is hell. The
circumstances under which this utterance
was made and the exact language in which
Sherman made it are not so widely known
however.
1t was at a reunion of Civil War vet
Grams at Columbus, o., in 1880, that Gen.
eral Sherman was called upon to say few
words after President Hayes had made the
principal address of the day In an i'm
promptu speech of only about three
minutC the General spoke of the comrade-
ship which bound him to the rank and file
of veterans, and of his pleasure If meet
in. SO man. of them Is years after the end
of the war. and concluded as follows:
''The war now is away back in the
past and you can tell what books can not.
When you talk, you come down to the
practical realities just as they happened.
You all know.thiS (the reunioh) is not SOL
diering here.
There is many boy here today who
looks on war as all glory; but, boys, it is
all hell. You can bear this warning voice
to generations yet to come; l look upon
war with horror, but if it has to come, am
here"

BEGINNING TO PAY

American businesses and individuals
are now getting taste of the higher taxa
ton that has finally become inevitable.
Earlier this session Congress raised income
emptions, IN order to bring into the fold
thousands of low-bracket citizens who had
never paid direct Federal taxes before.
Congress has agreed on still another tax
bill, levying substantially heavier. taxes
against industry, particularly in the mat
ter CT excess profits.
Our taxes are now the highest in our
history. Even so, the revenue resulting
will be Tar from adequate to pay fo, what
we are spending. The answer to nat is
more deficit-financing - which simply
a. cunts IT, charging today's bills against
tomOrrOw's income. No economist believes
that the tax boosts so far approved by Con-
gress are anything but a modest begin
ming. In coming sessions further increases,
more severe than anything we have ever
known, will in all probability be passed
Only miracle, which would raise the ma
tiOnal income far beyond any reasonable
expectation, could change the outlook.
No che doubts the need of spending
for defense. The American people will
not be chary of dollars when their liberties
are threatened. But certainly the Amer
lean people are entitled to demand a de-
gree of, efficiency in government greater
than any we know today or have known in
the past. Efficiency means, of course, get
ting the most weapons and material for
Zach defense dollar expended. More than
this, it means carrying on the other neces-
sary government activities at minimum
cost. 1t means the elimination of any ac-
tivity which does not fall into the essential
category. 1t means cutting few thousand
dollars off the appropriations for small de-
partments no less than cutting millions off
the appropriations for the big depart
ments. ~
Higher taxes mean sacrifices for all
the people. We will be able to afford
fewer luxuries-and we shall have to make
the most out of the necessities. 1t is the
duty of government to see that the peO-
pies sacrifice is not in vain-that, in short,
it gets 100 per cent value in return.

DEMOCRACY PROTECTS ITS ENEMIES

Mr. Norman Thomas, Socialist can
didate for the Presidency, attacks the Sc
lective Service law and begins campaign
for its repeal. He calls registration day a
day of mourning for the death of the
American way of life" and takes pride, ap-
parently, in the fact that there is enough
democracy left to permit him and his fol-
lowers to carry on campaign for the re-
peal of the law. @z-s 1.s
Strange to say, Mr.. Thomas is within
the rights accorded him by the laws and
Constitution of this country. Democracy
permits its foes to take advantage of its
privileges to assaii its virtues. The de-
Tense of democracy is the privilege of every
citizen and so great is its strength that it
protects the enemy as he launches his Of

A nation that works less than 40 hours

40-h0Ur week did in fact produce the
maximum production of which Americ N

not increased the OppOrtuniti for en-

ton, particularly needed today. Under

pertinent. which had much to do with the

That the government itself does not be-

who was warned last July that he
could not remain in this country if
he continued attempts to interfere

warning letter which Baron Won
Spiegel wrote an anti-Nazi pub
Usher of German language news
paper in San Antonio, Tex, more
than two years ago.
In the letter, which the New York
paper said was in the files of the
Dies Committee, the German consul
complained of the spirit of writings
in the San Antonio publication and
recalled that Adolf Hitler had
warned that drastic steps" would
be taken against those who pub
lished lies" about Nazi aims.

ment is keeping the contents of the
letter especially in mind in connec-
ton with subsequent developments
which might occur in the not too fal
