AN OPEN
LETTER
Butte, Montana

Butte, Montana
Mr.. H. S. Bruce
Helena, Montana
Dear Mr.. Bruce:
We wish to explain our position as
referred to in letter written by Mrs.
Arlyne Plumb which was published in
your May IA issue of The Peoples
Voice.
First may we state that we are NOT
affiliated with the American Youth
Congress. We were organized as an
independent group affiliated with no
other organization.
The requirements for membership
are:
A youth must be between the ages
of 16 and % and resident of Silver
Bow County. M
The purpose of this group is to
work out a solution for our common
problems through constructive group
work rather than acting as individ-
uals. In the course of our discussion
and definition of our policy, we find
that one of the greatest youth needs
in this locality is lack of vocational
training for people in our age group.
Another of our aims is to investigate
employment possibilities and recre-
ational facilities.
At all of our meetings we use the
free discussion method because we be-
lieve in democracy and freedom of
speech.
In reviewing the advantages of
group action the question of strikes
was used as an example of group
action At no time was it suggested
that strike methods be employed by
this group.
WE STRONGLY OBJECT TO Be
ING LABELED AS A COMMUNISTIC
ORGANIZATION and invite an in
yestigation of our activities.
BUTTE YOUTH COUNCIL.

In 1910, Murray went on, the per-
cent of taxes coming from income and
ability to pay. fell to 4446 while taxes
on consumption rose to $3.50 Of fed
eral tax income
He said that the various tax pro-
posals before the house ways and
means committee now would aggra-
vate this unsound condition"
Attacking U. S. treasury proposals
to increase the income tax rate in
the lower brackets, Murray said I'm
1886, 89.3% of all the American
people received less than $4,000. A
tax which strikes the standard of liv-
ing of these people strikes at the
standard of vast majority of Ameri-
cans
Labor has been fighting these last
few months to protect and improve
the living standards of American
workers. The federal government
should not be in a position of in
stituting wage cuts in the guise of
taxation.
"These wage cuts by taxation in
the brackets of workers incomes
mean less food, less clothing and less
shelter for American working people.
A nation that sets itself up as an ex-
ample of the democratic way of life
must not institute wage cuts for its
working people"
Present excess profits tax legisla-
ton, Murray said, sis a mockery Of
excess profit taxation
He called attention to estimates
showing that for the calendar year of
1910 the possible maximum of excess
profits tax revenue is S100,000000
while in 1917 excess profits tax legis-
lation yielded $1,639, 100000 and ST.
100000, 900 in 1918 and 81, 439, 100000
in 1919.
Even though rates during the world
war were much higher than now, he
said, perfectly fantastic profits were
made" Expenditures now are greater
than they were then yet we have
even less effective taxes to prevent
abnormal net profit"
Labor strongly believes" Murray
said, that the tax instrument is one
to be used to promote the welfare of
the majority of American peoples
1T has been too extensively used
against the public welfare, in part
because the ordinary people and
farmers had no way to express their
feeling about taxation.

enactment of tax program which
will make taxation beneficial to the
economy and protection

Their personalities blend one an ir-
repressible American and the other an
irrepressible Briton. Each has the re-
sillence, SprightlinesS and vigor of much
younger men. Mr. Churchill is 81 and Mr..
Roosevelt SO. They memorize MASTER
pieces and prose and poetry almost at
sight and, in their interchange of war
time messages, quoted profoundly from
the wisdom of the ages.
If at this time somber events make
them grim and challenge their versatility
and resolution, bad news fails to daunt
them or dim their innate cheerfulness
and adamant will in the face of fearful
odds.

Both have a flair for acting. Mr..
Churchill jumped up on chair at a
White House conference when reporters
in the rear complained they could not
see him. BY his own wish he entered a
give-and-take interview customary be-

press but never permitted journalists in
London.

Ho1v Subs Operated in 1918

Reports that Nazi submarines are op-
Grating in the Western Atlantic recall
that tense summer Of 1918 when coast
wise and convoy shipping was savagely
and successfully attacked by German
U-boats.
Seven of the Kaiser's tin sharks paid
visits to the United States coast. Their
mines, bombs. torpedoes and shells sent
down more than 100 merchant, fishing
and war vessels.
For months Navy patrol craft steamed
in frantic circles seeking the undersea
marauders. Civilians on the coast were
in a lather of excitement, with reason.
One audacious commander came to the
surface and sank a barge tow within sight
of thousands week-ending on Cape Cod.
The United States Navy historical divi-
sion has complete records Of those hectic
days. They show a definite pattern Of
submarine operation on America. The
log of the submarine U-156 is typical.

By Felix NJ 0riey.

A little more than four months after
the famous conference which produced
the Atlantic Charter, Winston Churchill
and Franklin Roosevelt have met again.
This time their meetings are not held
secretly off an uninhabited coast, nor
yelled in an almost surreptitious at
mosphere. The present scene is the
Capital of the United States and
throughout the entire world there can
scarcely be literate person who is un-
ware of the importance of these dis
cussions between British Premier and
American President, even while they are
in process.
Much water has flowed down the Po-
tomac since President Roosevelt left its
banks last August to confer with Prime
Minister Churchill
In Russia, the high tide of German ag-
gression has been reached and is now
definitely. receding. In North Africa,
German support is proving unable to
save the remnants of Mussolini's colo
NAL empire from progressive British con-
quest Only in the Far East, uneasily
at peace last August, does the balance
swing in favor of the Axis. The great
battleship which four monAns ago
brought Winston Churchill across the
Atlantic now lies beneath the seas off
Singapore
Problems Enormous.
But far and away the most important
change in the cosmic picture is Americas
formal declaration of war against the
Axis allies That is the development
which has brought the British Prime
Minister and his corps of advisers hurry
ing TO Washington. That Is the de-
velopment which now enables President
Roosevelt to act both as leader and host
at these Anglo-American discussions.
AS to fresh runner in relay race,
the torch Of Anglo-Saxon ideals is now
placed in the custody of the United
States. And the speed, endurance and
sureneSs of American effort during the
long grind ahead will decide whether
or not that torch will be kept lighted
and carried to ultimate victory OF the
tremendous load which Great Britain
has heretofore uncomplainingly borne, a
very large part is now our permanent
responsibility. That is the obvious i'm

ming and action for the military anc
supply problems which lie Immediately
ahead. And clearly these currently
pressing problems are in themselves
enormous.
The most disconcerting, though not
the most fundamentally serious, prob
lem, is the reduction of Anglo-American
sea power in the Far East. The effect OF

the U-156 dcmoralized coastwise traffic.
Her score was typical of the U-151, U-53,

also operated off the United States coast.

EXCEPTIONAL parallels mark the
IL paths of President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill.
Their current meeting here to map
worldwide strategy and worldwide vic
tory against the Axis powers finds them
amazingly alike in their grim approach
to 1t but equally buoyant and serenely
confident of success.
Behind this may be noted the fact
that three quarters Of the bloodstream
directing destinies of the English-speak-
ing people is American. We all know
the Roosevelt ancestry. Mr.. Churchill,
too, is American on his mothers side.
She was the former Jennie Jerome,
New York heiress.
And, singularly enough, the mothers
of each had similar degrees OF in
fluence on their careers. The late Sara
Delano Roosevelt, affectionately called
the venerable queen mother" Of the
Roosevelt clan. impaired to her son
great personal courage. initiative and
fortitude. Mr.. Churchill's dogged de-
termination and cheerful aggressiveness
frequently has been attributed to his
mother. In the old days his political
adversaries blamed everything they
didn't like about him on his American
blood, including the naming Of two
British gunboats in 1918 the U. s.
Grant and the Robert E. Lee.
Words Demonstrate Faith.
The faith both men have in them
selves and in their people to face issues
stands out in the words of each in TAX
ing command of his government. Mr..
Churchills famous Il have nothing to
offer but blood, toll, tears and sweat u
is byword of the Anglo-American world
Mr. Roosevelt, in his first inaugural
address, promised Il shall be the first to
tell YOU" If his unorthodox plans to
stem the depression of those days did
not work.
All through this war Mr.. Churchill
never has hesitated, except when II
| might aid the enemy, to show his sturdy
Britishers the darkest side of their ma
tional fortunes. Mr. Roosevelt, just COM
ing into the great peril with his 100000
900 Americans, warned there would be
many sad reverses before ultimate
victory.
Today these two men and two nations
meet at the White House. Mr. Churchill's
living quarters there are closely
guarded secret, but conjecture favor:

Army officers and three Air Corps ON
GERS on the British mission which &C
companied Mr.. Churchill. While the
big immediate battle is between the
Russians and the Germans on land, the
chief hope of ultimate victory lies in
keeping open the communication and
supply lines among the Allies. trans
porting war materials wherever they are
needed, and, in the last stage Of action,
transporting troops.
1t is probable that for some time the
democracies will be satisfied to hold of
the japanese and the Germans in the
two oceans-defensive tactics, yet al
lowing time for Americas productive
powers to increase Offense is imprac-
tical until a preponderance of airplanes
and other materials is available.
Must ApportiOn Weapons.
One choice which must be made on
the highest level of decision is where
the supplies are to be sent as they are
manufactured. Which front is the most
important? Where can weakness best
pe risked? Can the foe be most advan-
tageously opposed by supplying Russia,
China, the Dutch, one or another of the
various British armies, or our own Army?
Diplomacy, as well as strategic factors,
is here the responsibility of the supreme
council. Meanwhile, the high strate-
gists must keep their eyes on the French
fleet. for if it falls to the Germans, the
whole balance of naval power will be
destroyed.
The time will come, Mr.. Churchill
pointed out, after American factories are
all completed and are working at full
speed, when there no longer will be
question of apportioning the limited sup
ply of the arsenals but solely problem
Of transportation. The question will be
only how to get the supplies to their
destination.
Supplies-including warships, mer-
chant vessels, airplanes, tanks and mu-
nitions-at this time weigh heaviest in
the scales of strategy. Man power is
indispensable, but it can be trained In
time and it is useless without the prod
ucts of the shipyards and factories.
Roosevelts Voice Potent.
The powers who are the source Of sup
plies have the most potent voices at the
Allied council table. Hence, the Amer
lean President and the British Prime
Minister first made up their minds, then
arranged to call in the other nations
representatives. Primarily, of course
Americas supplies are the material
without which the Germans cannot be
defeated. That fact makes President
Roosevelt's voice the most potent in the
democratic world today. And for the
same reason, as we'll as its comparative
safety from attack, Washington can be
regarded as the world capital Of the Al
lied powers. 1t is here that the great
decfIons will be reached.
There seems little chance for con-
flict of British and American interests
They have an equal stake in the naval
bases they are defending. Even if the
strategists some day had to decide
whether to abandon to the enemy Ha-
waii, the outpost which prevents a mass
attack on the United States Pacific
/ Coast, or Britain, American experts say
that this country in its own best in
terest undoubtedly would choose to hold
Britain. For the British Isles are not
only the chief defense for our Atlantic
Coast, but they also offer us our best op-
portunity for attacking Hitler.
