thought Of attempting to raise by
taxation funds enough to meet the
costs Of the defense program.
"The Presidents hope is to revise
the Revenue Act so as to meet the
ordinary domestic demands of Gov
ernment, which are to be cut down,
and provide q fair surplus toward
the amortization of the defense ex-
penditures. I think I am safe in
saying very definitely that the new
revenue bill will lay no retroactive
taxes on the earnings Of corpora
tions and individuals. There is no
disposition of the kind in the ad-
ministration, and there is little in
Congress. The earnings from COM
merce and industry during the cur
rent year aren't going to be taxed
to any greater extent than is pro-
vided by existing law. The admin
istration's desire is to encourage
business and industry to expand to
meet the heavier requirements of
the Nation.
ITO me this disposition should
stimulate every line of business.
The more so in the light Of the pur-
pose Of the administration to hold
down ordinary expenses of gov
ernment and amortize defense
spending over a long period Of
time"
Looking into the future, Senator
George said that "the world pic
ture is not bright one. Yet it isn't
as dark as might be imagined. On
the domestic side it isn't altogether
cheerful, either. But 1t Is more as

pect to return until after Christ
mas.
Senator George expressed the
opinion that the Nation, as regards
its national defense program, should
go on a war footing"
"The situation makes 1t all but
imperative that we further speed
up our preparedness" he said. 1--WE
have made great forward strides in
defense work. But 1t won't be
enough, If the worst comes to the
worst. We should 60 on a war basis
Immediately, insofar as prepared
ness Is concerned. Our industries
should be on a 24-hour basis. There
can be no mistake of the value of
total defense in forestalling the like
lihood Of total war. We should
speed up every industrial agency
capable of producing armements
and munitions Of war, to the end
that we can aid Great Britain and
China without in the least delay
ing our own defense arms"
Senator George, who ranks next
to Chairman Harrison on the Sem
ate Finance Committee, gave his
views regarding possible tax legis-
lation.
Pictures Roosevelt as Reasonable. /"
There is no reason for alarm
about 'confiscatory' taxes" he said.
"The President has nothing of that
sort in his mind. He takes a log
ical, reasonable view. And more
he promises to reduce domestic ex-
.penditures to a minimum COM
patible with the maintenance OF
efficiency and fairness. There Is no

George Predicts Effort
To Lift Neutrality Act's
'Cash-Carry' Proviso
Senate Foreign Relations
Chuirmun Declines to
Guess at Outcome
BY GOULD LINCOLN.

Attempts to amend the Neutrality
Act so American merchant vessels
may enter the war zones at their
own risk will be made when the new
Congress meets next month, Chair
man George of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee predicted yes
terday before leaving for his home
in Georgia.
1T Is fair assumption" the
Senator said, that the attention Of
Congress will BE- addressed to the
Neutrality Act. 1t is probable an
effort will be made to modify GER
tain provisions of that law. A pro-
posal to permit American cargo
ships to enter the war zones at
their own risk will be considered.
Acceptance of such an amend
ment would, Of course. ease some
what that section of the act which,
in effect, abandonS American ad-
herence to international law that
supposedly insures the freedom of
the seas to acknowledgement nations
in time of war. Congressional ap-
proval of the proposal, if signed by
the President, would permit Amer
lean commerce, at its own risk. to
enter the ports of all the warning
nations-Ireland and England eSpe-
cially, in Europe, not forgetting
Greece and Turkey.
Makes No Predictions.
What may be the attitude of
Congress on this question cannot be
foretold at this time. Nor can it be
predicted with any degree of intelh-
gence or success what will be the
reactions of the people of the United
States, excepting only that Amer
lean sentiment is overwhelmingly
favorable to every aid possible to
Great Britain short of war"
If an amendment to the Neutral
ity Act such as suggested by Sen
ator George is laid before Congress,
bitter fight is likely to follow 1t
would mean the abandonment of
the so-called title and carry" sys-
tenn, set up under the act, by which
goods must be carried in ships other

suring than some people suppose.
II am satisfied the President has
his feet on the ground. He is an
ticipating developments so far as
humanity possible, and he is meet
ing them when they come with
calmness and confidence. From con-
ferences at the White House and
from what I know of conditions at
home and abroad, I am persuaded
the administration is pursuing
sound policies that, in the main and
especially as regard major moves,
merit support"
Senator George, before he left
Washington, was in conference with
the President both as regards for

than those flying the American flag
to belligerent nations, after title to
the goods had first passed to the
purchasers. 1t would mean, in all
probability, that the American over
seas merchant feet would be in po-
sition to augment that of the Brit
ish and other foreign nations in
carrying food and other supplies,
including war supplies, to the Brit
ish and their allies. Nor would it
be necessary for the British to pur-
chase or American owners to sell
these ships before they could be
used to keep this traffic moving
constantly.
U. S. Conveys . Possibility.
If American flag merchant vessels
were attacked in this trade, the next
step in all probability, short OF an
actual declaration of war, would be
the convoy of these vessels by
American naval vessels.
The title and carry" section OF
the Neutrality Act is held RESPONSE
BILE by many members of Congress
for the prevention of any incident"
so far which might drive this coun-
try into the European war.
Senator George was one Of those
who voted for the Neutrality Act
when it was before the Senate, but
he questioned seriously the wisdom
of that part of the measure which
valves the right of the United
States to the freedom OF the seas.
The chairman of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee made it clear
before he left that he believed Con-
gresS would remain inactive until
the first of the year.
II am returning to Georgia." he

Goodman Pigskinners Bow
To Stute Freshmen Team
Post Friday Afternoon
By CATHEY

Striving laboriously ITO keep the
wolf away from the door last FIJI
day afternoon, the Holmes Junior
College football eleven finally sue
stumbled to the Mississippi State fresh
mans onrushing forward wall and
~pile-driving backs 10 to 0 but not
until the third quarter had elapsed.
Coach j. R. monk" Campbelps
charges had waged a very courageous
battle up until the final seconds OF
this period and in the fourth chap
ter the Baby Maroons kept the Good
man lads with their backs to the wall
throughout.
A logged defensive stand by the
Bulldog machine had throttled every
effort made by the Starkville lads,
but this finally wilted in the final
quarter when the victors combined
effective aerial maneuver with their
savage driving backs led by Lamar
Blount and r. L. Brick" Mason.
One tally resulted from a recover
ed tumble across the Goodman goal,
a long jaunt by the Philadelphia
flash, Blount, accounted for anoth-
err, and an overhead heave produced
the third marker. Blount's toe placed
one of the 19 counters over the up
rights.
The Bullpups advanced even as far
as the Bulldog 6-yard stripe in the
initial canto but the attack faded
away. A 65-yard return of a punt
by Lamar Blount, who dashed with
bruising and cunning tactics during
a large part Of the contest, availed
nothing when a 15-yard penalty for
roughing nullified the endeavor.
A recovered State tumble by Good
man in the latter stages Of the clash
gave supporters of the Campbell
proteges something to become excit-
ed about, but on the first offensive
gesture attempted by the visitors,
another bobble occurred and Coach
| Watkins Fatherree's charges retained
possession of the pigskin.
Impressive were Edgeworth and
Ruthledge at the guard stations
while Tommy Jones essayed some
very creditable punting. The team
as a whole lacked polish and pre-
cision. Blocking was sadly missing
pass defense was not up to par, the
center spot showed weakness ant
the tackle stations can stand mucf
improvement, but with such a willing
and determined squad Coach Camp
bell should develop a strong and abb
group ere much longer.
