| Might Be
Wrong BUT
by P. G.. Stromberg :

BENITO MUSSOLINI'S dec
laration of war carrying Italy
into the European conflict on the
side of Germany is probably the
most dastardly and the most
condemned act on the part of
any nation in modern history.
It is truly the part of a vulture.
Il Duce's declaration of war on
a PROSTATE and friendly neigh
Dor and on one Of his country's
benefactors makes Hitler's afro
cities fade perceptibly. Not
that the Hitler atrocities are any
the less cruel, immoral and un-
moral, but Hitler at least has
staked everything in his effort,
while Mussolini waited until he
felt that Germany was certain
to win and then cast his lot with
the apparent victor in order that
he might be in on the division
of spoils. At least Germany, no
matter how wrong she might be,
has fought her own battle and
depended solely on the courage,
resourcefulness and sacrifice of
her people. For Mussolini only
the most loathsome dislike and
contempt is possible or deserved.
AS l WRITE this, indications
are that France is in perilous
straits. My own wishful think
ing leads me to hope that, as
stated by Premier Reynaud,l if
some miracle is needed to save
France, then l believe that mir
acle will happen. And if it does,
the plight Of the people of Italy
will soon indeed be one border
ing on starvation. Despite the
kindest feeling toward the
Italian people, I can't help but
express the hope that the Allied
blockade will have such an inn
mediate and disastrous effect
that they will arise as man to
overthrow and condemn their
ignominious leader and take
their rightful place in the world
as a peaceful and lovable people.
X 4 X
THE ITALIAN declaration of
war has lent added impetus to
our own program of national de-
tense. President Roosevelt has
definitely changed our policy
from one of neutrality to one of
non-belligerence. The Presi-
dents speech at Charlottesville,
Va, is the type the people of
the United States want to hear
from their leaders.
X 4 4
IT rs HEARTENING to note
the sentiment in Congress for a
plan to pay for our defense pro-
gram as we go. It will not be
pleasant to pay ten or twenty
per cent more income tax next
year and succeeding years.
Sacrifice, however, is an essen
tial of appreciation and what we
need most in this great country
is some semblance Of apprecia-
ton of what we have and a
realization that we have to pay
for it.
NEW METHODS OF taxation
will be suggested, discussed and
acted upon. It can't all be de-
rived from the same sources. A
general sales tax seems logical,
but there is another source which
might serve well. It is the pay
roll tax - assessed against the
employee. Already the employer
is obliged to pay three per cent
on the payroll for unemploy-
ment, and it is estimated that
this tax produces well over a
billion dollars annually. This
would not only be newly found
taxes, but it would serve the
added purpose of impressing
every salaried employee with the
TACT that he or she is helping
directly in our defense program.

Then there Is the case of Philip

flicted with species Of insanity.
He refused to dress properly and
would not pay any attention to the
affairs of state. Numerous rem

success. Finally, IN desperation,
the court officials suggested trying
music.
Unknown 70 the king they en-
gagged the Italian tenor. Carlo
Farinelli, to sing IN room
adjoining the royal apartments.
After a few minutes Philip began
to pay attention. He finally
became so entrsnced with the
music that he asked 10 see the
singer. When Farinelli came In
the king offered to give anything
he might ask II he would continue
TO sing for him. Farinelli modest
ly replied that all he desired was
TO see the king properly dressed
and attending to his duties. The
royal patient agreed. He arranged
to have Farinelli sing four songs
for him every night and settled
upon him the equivalent OF sio.-
600 a year for life.
The difference between the two
kings was that Saul threw jave-
