WHEN HITLER
AND CHURCHILL AGREE


You don't expect, these days,
agreement between Adolf Hitler and
Winston Churchill on anything.
But they do appear to oeree on one
thine-ond it is q thing that has signi-
ficonce for the United Stotes. 1t is this:
the war is q long way from being over.
Churchill sold in q recent speech
thot Britoin is in for on Undoubtedly
long and formidable war"
Hitler sold in his birthday message:
"A hard battle yeor stonds before US. "
Thot last is significant utteronce
in country which from many Official
sources was promised final victory last
foil. 1t means that Hitler knows what
some Americans seem not to reolize-
tbot victory in the Balkans is not vic
tory in the war. Victory in the whole
Mediterranean or the whole Near. Eost
is not victory in the war.
The mighty fortress Of Britain
stands battered and bruised, but un-
shaken. The control Of the secs is still
British. The worldwide Empire is in
toct. Hitler may we'll speak Of hard
bottle year. The war could concevobly
lost very much longer 1t could lost two
more yeors-lO more.
That does not mean thot the
United Stotes can hold back for q
moment in the delivery Of munitions
so urgently needed Yueoslovio and
Greece fell in about three weeks. A
shipIood of supplies starting from Jew
York the very day the 0ernons invaded
would not have reached them before
the whole trogedy was over The United
Stotes did not let anybody down. Amer
icon aid is not ineffective. Any heI p to
Yuqoslovio and Greece was bosed on
the supposton thot front could be
established and held This proved inn
possible; time, that; one indispensable
munition Of war, was lacking.
Hitler's own suggestion Of "a hard
bottle year" makes it pretty clear that
this will not be true Of other bottle
zones. Whatever war moteriol is on the
way to Greece, for instance, will prob
obIy wind up in Egypt. not wasted. And
American production is beginning to
get under way. BY and large, it is COM
ing just as fost as any informed people
thought it could when the program was
launched less than q year ogo
Now is no time for foItering in the
course we have chosen.
1t is better to be right and lose,
than to be wrong and win.
Best Of all is to be right and win,
too.

Whot is the "woy Of DEM

new tax bill? 1t goes something
like this:
Ever since the lost tax bill
was written the tax research
division Of the treasury hos
been making studies Of how
this legislation could be i'm

might be o btoine d in new
taxes, where existing taxes

countries have been levying

and doy out, this division OF
tax research knows more about

much Of it is for defense.
Finally, somebody gets around
to oddine this up. 1t is discov-
cred thot national defense ex-

plus ST billion aid to Britain.
Not all this is to be spent at

The Latest Books q

Two new books Shed genuine
and interesting light on
Britain's battling prime min
ister, Winston Churchill. The
first is Churc hilrs own,
blood, Sweat and Tears
putnam: $3), a collection of
the Britisher's speeches from
1888 to the present. the Sec
ond is a closeup picture of
the great man BY . woman
who knows him Intimately,
Phyllis Moir's II Was Winston
Churchilrs Private Secretary"
(Funk: $2). The first book fol-
lows Churchill's earlier collec-
ton of prophetic addresses,
"While England Slept" is
grim with warning which was
not needed, bristles with the
will to keep democracy ahoat.
Miss Moir's book, on the other
hand, is intimate, informal,
picturing q tireless man di-
recting Britain's war effort,
debating in parlor, bathroom
and air raid shelter. Here is q
typical sketch:
Once on a long train journey
Mr.. Churchill, after retiring for
the night, asked Sergea n I
Thompson (his Scotland yard
shadow for certain book he
wanted to read. Thompson, al
most asleep on his feet at the end
of an exhausting day, explained
that the volume In question was
packed in a trunk that had been
checked in the baggage car at
the far end of the train. Mr..
Churchill asked him to fetch 1t.
After some Is minute S
Thompson came back to report
that the baggage master had re-
fused to let him get at the trunk
which was wedged in an inac-
cessible corner of the tightly
packed car. Mr.. Churchill, in a
loud voice, instructed Thompson
to bring the baggage master to
him.
Poor Thompson set out weari-
ly on his long trek up the train
and reappeared with the indig-
nant baggage master. The irate
officials protests were abrutly
silenced when he saw the look
on Mr.. Churchilrs face. There
followed q hush conversation
and the two men disappeared:
This time-after q much long
er interval in which the baggage
care was no doubt taken to
pieces-Thompson returned tri-
umphantly with the book.
This little incident Is charac-
teristic. When Mr.. Churchill has
an idea he must take immediate
steps to carry IL out. Thought
and action are with him almost
simultaneous-and there are no
impossibilities.
Today il Is well for England
that this should be 30.

. and 81 billion to run the rest
OF the oovernment.

OF the government.
Ireosury's next step is to de-
eide how much of this sholI be
roised by toxotion and how
much by borrowing. The an
swer Is two-thirds by toxotion,
one-third by borrowing. Two
thirds Of SIG billion IS $l2.6
billion. Treasury knows that
existing tax legislation will
yield S9.l billion. Subtroctino,
it finds that $3.5 billion net
must be roised from new toxes.
Here the division of tax re-
seorch goes to work with its
odding machines, and otter
months Of calculation, il comes
out with q program that will
yield the additional $3.5 bill
lion required. But does the divi-
sion of tax research write the
new tax bill? Not for q minute.
Ii knows all the answers but
this is q democracy, and in q
democracy the chosen repre-
sentotives of the people write
the laws and, furthermore,
the Constitution soys thot all
bills to tax the people must
originate in the House of Rep
resentotives. So the Job Of
writing the new tax bill is turn
ed over to the House Ways and
Means Committee, Of which
Robert |. Douehton, Laurel
Springs, N. c., former by pro-
tession, has been chairman
since 1893.
The committee holds hear
ings. On the first day, the Sec
retory Of the treasury and his
oides are there with figures.
The hearings ore public and
any screwboII with q crank
t h cory Of toxotion can and
probably will have q chance to
dir his views.
SUBCOMMITTEE
DOES IT
when the hearings ore over,
the drafting job begins. Twenty
men obviously can't write ony-
thing so that is turned over to
q subcommittee. Hord-work-
ing Capt. Jere Cooper Of Dy-
ersbure. Tenn, has that job.
He will give it day and night
attention and, aided and obet-
ted by the legislative drafting
service Of the House, the COM
mittee's own tax experts and
the treasury boys, q bill finally
will be born, reported out to
the, House, argued about,
changed q little, and finally
passed.
1T goes to the Senate, where
Chairman Pat Horrison's Fl
nance Committee will 90 to
work on it. There will be more
public hearings. Here the lob
byists will go to work. Repre-
sentotives Of hie Empowered
toxpoyers' associations will
argue that corporation taxes
are too high, and representa-
tives Of the survivors Of the
decd who couldn't toke it with
them will argue thot estote
taxes ore too high. Eventually,
everyone will have had his soy,

port out it's modified bill, the
Senate will argue, the Senote

A MILLION MEN,
TO ARMS-oVERNlGhT

Is it possible thot any responsible
stotesmon ever really went before the
American people with thqt old cry thor
in time of danger "a million men WOULD
snrino to arms overnight" And is II
possible that he was not laughed out OF
the picture'
Yes, it is possible. It is true. Merely
to recall it seems like dream OF 'nno-
cence, frogmentory recollection OF q
golden oge.
The hard, stern realities OF todoy
recoIl US from such voporines like q
blow in the foce. We have seen q mil
lion men Spring to arms" in Yuso-
slovio overnight, and be crushed to
eorth in less than two weeks. We have
seen it in other countries. We have
Ieorned - or we hope that we have
Ieorned-thot war today is q business
ttot hos to be learned. The brovest,
finest million men cannot stond before
men better equipped, better troined,
better led. The <French we're brave
enouoh, and the Nodweeions, ond the
Dutch and Poles and Serbs and Greeks
But voIor is not enough today.
Many people we're Perturbed lost
year when miIitory training was begun
on gigantic scale in time OF peace.
We are only now beginning to see Why:
The words of Chief Of Stoff Marshall
are somewhat reossurine when he soys
that 10000 men with the highest
rnorole I've ever seen" ore now being
oroonized and troined. War is terri,
Bile thing at best, but it hos no more
terrible aspect thon when men have to
fioht without adequate training or
equipment.
The present new army" is one OF
which we have every reason to- be
proud. The men have mode omozing
progress, considering that they have
been in camp, most Of them, only since
lost foil It is good, but not enough.
The core Of the amazingly success
full German army Of today is the nucIe-
us Of 100 thousand sereeonts" devel-
oped in the skeleton army permitted
under the treaty Of Versailles. These
we're six-yeor men. The army is right
in attempting to persuade as many os
possible Of the one-yeor men to serve
voluntarily for three-yeor term. They
will thus develop skilIs beyond the eIe-
mentoy training or one-yeor men.
Thot will be valuable, perhaps decisive,
if real war should be faced.
The Germans ore not better than
the men they have repeatedly beoten.
They have more know-how, and better
tools.
America will never be without the
millions which the ancient orator as
sured us would spring to arms. But un-
less we make the absolute most Of the
present opportunity to develop the
know-how and the tools, we might be
caught suddenly and hopeIessly with
out them in some desoIote doy
