Bv Basil Gordon.

These are days of taxes, taxes
and more taxes-and the greatest
of these is the income tax. 1t also
seems to be the most mysterious.
Perhaps this is so because other
ievies the citizen pays are calculated
for him, either by States, counties,
or the Federal Government. When
he pays on real estate, not only the
rate but also the assessed value OF
the property is fixed by some au-
thOrity, in that case usually by the
county. When he buys pack Of
cigarettes, he knows just how many
cents 60 for the revenue stamp, and
understands that he is paying back
the manufacturer. who paid the tax
some time ago. In buying gasoline
and amusement admissions there
NAV be no token to prove the tax,
but the purchaser understands per-
fectly we'll that part of his money
goes to Uncle Sam, and that the
seller charges him this amount over
and above what he keeps for him.
self.
Next March, due mainly to low
cred exemptions, there will be mil
lions of income taxpayers who never
filed or paid before. Some OF them
are said to be almost terrified at the
prospect. They say that they don't
know what to do about it, as 1t is
so different from other forms OF
taxation.
In a way they are right. 1t is diff
9erent, in this respect-to large
extent the Government trusts them,
and proves it by asking them to be
their own assessors. This fact
should put them at ease, not alarm
them. All they have to do is to play
fair.
Better to Save.
At this point bit of advice
seems in order. Remember that
while the tax is not due until the
middle of next March, it is not a
tax on next years income. 1t is
tax on what you are making this
year. Some of the money which
you are spending now really belongs
TO Uncle Sam. If you spend all you
make, you are in effect borrowing
some of 1t from that old gentleman
That is all right with him, pro-
vided you are able to pay it back
when he asks for 1t. But 1t may

Conferees al Havana
May Moderate Action
To Gain Unanimitv
Hull May Compromise
With Areentines to Win
Their Support
BY GARNETT D. HORNER,
Htsr StrfS Srorraenopdapf

HAVANA, July 22-Possibility
that the strength Of Western Hemi-
sphere defense measures projected
at the meeting of American foreign
ministers in session here may be
sacrificed to some extent in order
to win unanimous approval of the
conference actions developed today.
Preliminary discussions indicated
most of the representatives of the
81 American Republics favored
adoption of the most potent meas
ures that could be devised for joint
action to cope with the economic
and political threats to New World
security arising from European war
developments and >Nazi subversive
activities.
Argentina, however, and possibly
one or two other nations Influenced
by her, entered the conference un-
willing to agree to any program
which she considered might so alien
ate the Berlin Rome axis as to
destroy the vast market for her
products in a Europe possibly domi-
mated permanently by Germany and
italy.
Secretary of State Hull and other
delegates whom he described as TAX
ing a thoroughly realistic view of
the problems confronting them,
hoped to induce the Argentines to
go along with the most practical
measures that could be worked out
to combat Nazi-Fascist economic
and political pressure on the Amer
icas.
May Compromise With Argentine.
Indications were that, while ex-
erting utmost efforts for adoption
of the strongest and most realistic
program possible, the Hull group
would consent to some degree of
compromise If necessary to secure
Argentine participation In unani-
nous decisions, however.
On the other hand, there was dis
cussion among some Latin Ameri-
can delegations from countries
threatened with virtual loss of their
independence to Na1 domination, of
the posSnll1ty OF leaving Argentina
to go her own way rather than
weaken the program as a conces-
sion to her.
Conference rules provide that
projects shall be considered ap-
proved when they have obtained
the Affirmative vote of an absolute
