HONESTY,
AT LEAST
Nv all Street ,JourllaN

HE Wall Street Journals Washug-
ton bureau reports that the lid Is of
the tax bill IN Congress-. that congress
slonaI leaders are no longer bound To the
original tiVe-year special revenue bill
winch would increase taxes by AN est
mated 5000 ,OOO,O0 annually. That sum
Was to have been raised to defray the
cost Of the 100000. 600 national de-
Tense program. Congress is now talk
ing OF Il complete revision of the tax
structure and an increase of about ST.
ooo.000000 annually.
Ne one converSant with American tax
history thought for = moment that the
mutually proposed tax increases would
be terminated at the end of five wears.
New taxes are almost always proposed
for some emergency" but they remain
long after the emergency has passed.
Tn $656.OOO.OOO of additional taxes
would have lquidatcd the $4,000. 600. 600
defense program. But the amount we
are to spend for defense seems to be
changing with a fair degree of regular
ltN. y few weeks ago it was to be around
$4,000, 100000 Later it was increased
to $1,000, 100000 after which President
Roosevelt asked another 81 900. 900. 900.
Obviously the S656.000,00O tax increase
would not provide $1,000. 900 900 in five
years. and it is likely that further de
Tense expenditures will be asked, if not
this year. at least next year.
Lax increases are never POPULAR They
are made possible this year because Il
wave of patriotism is sweeping the M
ton. We don't want to suffer the fate
of other defenseless countries. The Am
ercan people are loyal to their inStitll-
tIonS and are willing to make sacrifices
TO assure their preservation.
but let us not, in pressure groups or
otherwise, seek to take advantage of that
patriotism by lcvying taxes not only for
national defense but TO continue the care
less spending of the past eight years
and the attributing debt and deficit 10
the cost of the defense program. If we
are going to mark up the tax bill 10 pay
for a lot of other things. let Us he honest
about 1t. even if We must be foolish.

Italy has pushed still tighter
the door that is closing on in
tCrnational trade. BY cling all
permits for importationS. and all
permits for acquiring foreign cur
rcncy to pay for imports, she places
herself on the barter basis, which
means the death of free internal
tional trade.
When Norway was invaded, the
United States nc:,aal foreign trade
took another drop. April figures
showed total somewhat above the
year before. but far more than the
amount of the increase was due to
war exports. Normal trade had fall
len badly.
The occupation of Belgium and
the Netherlands of course took an
other heavy hack at normal A
mer!can foreign trade, and now
Italy even before entering the
war WithdraWs from commercial
intercourse with the world.
1t is true that foreign orders for
war materials are increasing, and
if the war should be prolonged,
they will continue to increase, per-
haps even to a point where they
might create the semblance of
boom. But the important thing
to remember is that normal trade
is being destroyed. AS long as
Norway, Belgium. Holland. Poland.
and CzechoSlovakia remain under
the German thumb, they will never
resume their place in the intcrna-
tiOnal trade picture.
This means that. should the Ger
mans win. foreign trade of the
future will wear a different face
than it wore in 1929 B. B. Before

ANARCHISM, ETC.
tBerkeley GaZettt)

Emma Goldman, Red Emma" as she
was called, the anarchist leader feared
and fought for so many Years, passed
away almost unnOticed recently in Tor
onto. a brilliant and energetic woman
and a great individuaiSt. she had long
been feared and hated in many countries
as 4 relentless foe of the existing social
order. But in recent Years little attcn-
ton was paid to her And perhaps there
is reason for this aside from her grow
ing infirmity.
Radicaism Of various kinds had made
such Roadway that il pushed the fiery
Emma aside and made her illogical
dream Of AN "anarchiSt society" seem
milk. Those words i'm quotation marks
stand for something which, of course
couldn't exist. For anarchism, if it
means anything means utter laWlessness,
and without law and order Of some kind
there couldn't be any "Socety"
Mankind now seems to be going to the
opposite extreme The radicals today,
instead Of seeking to abolish an ordered
society, are insisting ON too much order,
dragging everything into a rigid system
and abolishing indiv!duaIism in favor Of
the herd. In contrast TO Hitler and Std
ill., Emma Goldman and the little bond
Of anarchists seem trivial cnenic. III

WOULD FINANCE WAR
OUT OF SAVINGS

Under Lees bill, the government
would make an inventory OF every
citizens property, both real and
personal. at the same time it COM
piled its lists for Selectivc service.
Citizens would be claSSed il diff
ferent property-levcl groupings much
as the income tax lax classes them
in income groupings. Bonds would
be issued to finance the war
and the amount which persons in
each class would have to buy would
be laid down by the Treasury.
The bonds would pay probably
ore per cent interest, and the
money raised by the excess profits
tax would be used to retire them.
You can't finance the war out
of income" says Senator Lee, I'm
less we change our whole economy,
we've got to leave the proflt-incen-
tive in there. But if you can't fin
ance it out of income, you've got
to do it out of savings. I think this
is a fair, workable way to do it.
If we should try to finance a
war the way we did last time,
we'd find it much harder to sell
bonds.

WASHINGTON. June 1O.-The
new defense tax bill which Con-
ale>s Will pass presently is only a
slater. unless both the war and the
War scare end very Soon-Which
nobody here something
ever 80 much more drastic will get
put together.
When that starts to happen
and YOU can expect ii early next
session there will be renewed ag-
itation for two measures which
would be highly mwelcome to most
of the business community. These
are.
A sharp excess profits tax.
IN amendment to prevent the
further issuance of tax exempt
bonds.
Rlght at this moment nobody
much is talking for either of these
propositions except Senator Josh
Lee of Oklahoma who Is some
thing like a voice crying in the
wilderness; furthermore. to date
his talking has not converted any
great number of his colleagues.
The thing to remember, how
ever, is that Senator Lees ideas
along this line are great deal
like the ideas of such cloSe-to-
the-veSt brain truSters as jerome

the next session. therefore. he Just
might have some hefty allies.
LEE WOULD KNOCK
OFF BIG PROFITS
Senator Lees big complaint is
that we are right back where We
were before the last war as far as
the tax structure goes The last
war. he says. made a lot of mil
honaires and also a lot of poor
people get stuck with Liberty Bonds
on which they took losses. and he
wants change.
He proposes to knock off some
of the profits with the excess prof

No ThrOttling of Enterprise!

Every major advance in the
economic welfare of the Amer
can people has come from the
fact that some new idea, new
invention, new development in
production, distribution, organi
cation, or management challeg
ed and, perhaps, supplanting
some existing enterprise. 1t is
imperative, therefore, that the
business regulations of govern
ment shall not freeze the status
quo againt the rise of new ideas
and methods.
Many New Deal policies and
practices, as in the case of tie
NRA, have sought to hold things
as they are. This has grown out
of the fact that, as a part of its
defeatist convictions that we are
approaching a static economy,
the New Deal leadership has
been so obessed with it's theories
of stability that it has neglected
the problem of growth.
The competition of the new
with the old is the most import
ant form of competition. If the
business program Of government
is to be based, as this Committee
think it should be based, on a
system of competitive enterprise,
operating freely within frame
work of protective regulations
designed to safeguard the gener
al interest, then government
must not fall into the dangerous
practice of intervening to pro
tect special interests against new
forms of competition. To do SO
is to deny to society as a whole
the benefits of new developments
and to deny to individuals the
right to rise by their resource
fulness and ingenuity.
A cardinal principle of re-
gulatory sustem that is to pro
mote rather than depress enter
pise is that it's regulations SHOULD
be definite and easily ascertain
able. The greatest deterrant t.
enterprise in regulation is un
certainty. here is nothing more
discouraging to enterprise thar
inability to discover whether anC
how it may act and whether, il
it acts successfully, it will be
permitted to succeed.
