II you're an average American, $lOo
was your share Of the $l4, 300, 900, 600
paid in taxes in the year ended June

If you paid more, the chances are
that it wos because you received more

means thot under the conditions moin-
toined by our institutions, you have
prospered beyond the average.
Americans never poid taxes more

gradually, an attempt is mode to force

to that in force in the German univer-
sites. Thot brings resistance from
teachers and students accustomed to
freedom. Then comes repression. the
closing Of the universities. the sending
of teochers to concentration camps,
the breaking up by force Of student
demonstrations:
The Czech universities we're closed,
and most of their students deported to
forced labor in Germany. In Holland,
Poland, Norway, and Belgium there hos
been turmoil and resistance. and such
university life as remains is under the
strictest Nozi supervision. Over the
whole continent, the number Of teach
ers has been reduced at Ieost 50 per
cent, the Foundation estimates. The
universities lead q precorious and dwin-
