Renewed for Stiff
Surtox on Incomes

WASHINGTON - The ad-
ministration Friday renewed
its appeal FOR lower individual
exemptions and stiff surtaxes
on personal income. beginning
at a rate II IL per cent on the
first taxable dollar.
Surtaxes are imposed in sddi-
ton to the normal 4 per cent tax
on personal income: the special
10 per cent overriding defense tax
is computed from the total Of the
normal tax and surtax. Thus. total
taxes on taxable income from 81
to $1,000 would amount to more
than Is per cent under the treas
ury plan. The surtsx alone on
the second $1,000 of taxable in
come would jump to Il per cent,
with gradual increases in follow

There is not a British gen.
eral more respected today
than Archibald Wavell.
He drove ks forces from
Ethiopia and Somaliland and
deep into Italian Libya before re.
treating because his armies were
depleted for the battle Of Greece
He conquered Germans and
Nichy French in the Near East
Now he is the empires commander
in India.
So. I am inclined TO listen Ia
Nayell on military topics.
And the other day. with Harold
Denny of The Washington Post,
Wavell discussed something of
vital import to US namely. win
Britain want American manpower
In this war;
Wavell is not propaganda.
He is not a political leader. He is
a blunt military boss, and he was
long. long way from London
when he talked to Denny. This
is what Denny then wrote:
Whatever happe in
eastern Europe where Ger
mans and Russians are bat
Ting, the final issue of the
war will be decided in the
west, as it was in the last
war, and in the end it will be
a battle of manpower.

enough - and Sir Archibald APP

American manpower will he
needed
There is limit to Britain's
own manpower.
Germany can and will be beaten
eventually by an invasion of her
soil after she has been hammered
sufficiently from the air.
"When and where American
troops should eventually be en-
ployed are matters to be deter
mined by events"
The newspaperman reports
that he asked Wavell: Can
you win the war without
Americas full scale partici-
pation?"
He said Sir Archibald answered
with a slow head shake. then said :
I'VE will have TO have airplanes,
tanks. munitions, transport, and
finally men,"
when"
THE sooner the better the
British chief answered. But that
depends on when you are ready
doesn't it:
And with that last question,

eral Wavell revealed a British
secret of state.
Because, I believe. in Whitehall
they will want American troops
when We are ready.
