|Morgenthdu
Tells Bankers
|0f Tax Bonds

AS a result OF a personal plea
from Secretary of the Treasury
Henry Morgenthau Jr., Detroit
bankers today set out 10 convince
local residents that they should
ease the blow of new income tax
rates by buying tax anticipation
bonds.
These securities can be pur-
chased on an instalment basis and
can be used 10 pay the new high
income levy, thus placing the tax
on an easy payment basis.
Morgenthau rounded up most OF
the city's bankers at a luncheon
in the Detroit Club and told them
he is dissatisfied with the sale of
these bonds i'm this area.
The bankers promised full CO.
operation, but pointed out that
individuals have been loath to buy
the securities until the new income
tax measure had been passed by
Congress.
Sale of the bonds here. as well
as other defense securities, is
under direction of Frank n. Isbey.
chairman of the defense bond
committee. and Collector of Inter-
nal Revenue Giles Kavanagh.
Morgenthau said Isbey and
kavanagh have the best record in
the nation for promoting sale Of
defense bonds and stamps, which
are securities separate from the
tax anticipation notes.
To facilitate sale of the latter,
Morgenthau instructe c. S.
Young. president Of the Federal
Reserve Board in the Midwest. 10
open an issuing office in Detroit.
Heretofore these bonds have been
issued in the Midwest only in
Chicago.
After attending JAW meeting
incognito in Pontiac and talking 10
strangers he met in Woodward
a venue restaurants. Secretary
Morgenthau said he is convinced
the defense bonds will be
bought voluntarily by the nation
workers.

KEEP THE UNITED
STATES OUT OF
WAR!

Do you know that wars do
not happen: They are made;
and that we, "The Public"
can prevent future wars?
Ii has been well said that
1--WE must remember that a
lot of pressure is being
brought 10 push us into
conflict in which we should
have no part. There is an
insidious middle group fight
ing neither Germany nor
England but getting them to
fight each other solely that
this group might profit r.
nancially. cit is this same
group that would like to
push us into the war-per-
haps so that when il is all
over we could pay the bills"
This proved only too true
during the last World War
as revealed in the United
States Senate investigation of
the munition prohteers and
also by headlines: "Britain
and Germany keep patents
accord" Though Great
Britain and Germany are at
war they are respecting each
others patent rights In
the last war Germany ac-
cepted patent renewal fees
from British inventors -. In
this war the British have
modified their Trading With
the Enemy Act to make pay
ment of such fees possible in
Germany" Thus statesmen,
while able to protect profits,
sacrifice the lives of their
countrymen. While we are
familiar with results of Ger
man aggression in Continen-
tai Europe, do we realize
that the British altruistic
war has enlarged her Empire
by an estimated 100000
square miles.
