 She found him in the hospital with a sore toe, and while she was expressing her sympathy, Henry's sergeant came up. She had heard about him.
 He asked her whether she had written to President Roosevelt and complained about the way they were treating Henry in the army.

 Attack Made on Hitler

Washington, Oct. 17-(UP)-Rep. Vito Marcantonio, American-La~ boriate, N. r., who stood alone in the House in opposition to every defense appropriation until Ger many invaded Russia, stood alone again today-in favor of an Amer ican expeditionary force to Europe.
 Declaring that i've must not wait for the enemy, we must smash and destroy him." Marcantonio told the House late yesterday that an A. E, F. was necessary ito open up Q western front and prevent 0 Crt- umph for Hitler In Russia"
 His attitude toward administra- ton foreign policy changed, he de- clared, when Hitler invaded Russia on June % and transformed the war from an "imperIalist" venture Into 6 national defense" necessity.
 T honestly believe that what is essential is for the United States to do everything possible to bring about the opening of a western front and prevent the triumph of Hitler in Russia," he said. "Tf we permit the battle of Russia to be lost, then we will face consequences more perilous to our very existence than those which followed the foll of Madrid and Munich conferences. :"
 Docs this mean" he was asked by Isolationist Karl Mundt, R., s. D., that you believe an American Ex- peditionary Force should be used to help open up that front7"
 "Yes," replied Marcantonio, 1t Is necessary to the defeat of Hitler and l will not dodge the issue"
 Marcantonio voted last week for the administration request for an additional 6, ,985 900 900 in lend-lease funds. Previously he had opposed all defense measures, sometimes casting the lone dissenting vote against army or navy supply bills.

ordered to submit these new
budgets by September 20. This
data is to be turned over now to
the newly created committee on
the elimination OF non-essential
expenditures, to be used in its
guidance.
The new tax law will reach
many citizens who have never
before paid income taxes. The
personal exemptions for married
persons have been reduced to
$500 and for single persons to
$3.50. Furthermore. the new law
imposes a surtaX, in addition to
the normal per cent tax, rang
ing from per cent on the first
$4,000 of taxable income to n
per cent on incomes of $4,000, 900
or over. Many Americans will
have to revise their ways of Iv-
ing drastically.
One salutary outcome from
these heavy taxes undoubtedly
will be a demand on the part of
the people that expenditures be
kept down to the lowest possible
limit by the Federal Government.
If this means an end Of reckless
expenditures to which the coun-
try has been subjected, it will be

This Changing World
Nozis Beginning to Wonder Whether They Can Win;
Another Peace Compoiqn Expected Soon

German military observers realize
this would be the heaviest Job
the Reich's forces have ever
faced.
And, according to reports which
have hitherto proved reliable,
there is a feeling among some
OF the Nazi party leaders and
particularly among some of the
Fuehrer's military strategists,
that il there is a chance of call
ing off the war without the Reich
losing face, it should be done as
soon as possible.
Remember Last War.
They remember that the last
war was not lost because Of
Gen. Mud" and Gen. Winter"
but because of Gen. Blood" and
Gen. Politics" The front lines
began to crack up when the peo-
pie behind the lines weakened.
Hindenburg's losses had become
too great and the nation was
exhausted. Nobody here ques-
tions the stamina of the German
people. But their determination
to take 1t on the chin goes up or
down with military successes.
Until the campaign against Rus
sia they had nothing but VIC
tories. But now when long trains
bearing wounded file into Ger
many and long lists of fallen
for the fatherland" appear among

outcome of the war increases

BY GOULD LINCOLN.

For years Democrats like Sem
ators Glass and Byrd of Virginia,
Tydings of Maryland, Adams of
Colorado, and Representatives
Woodrum of Virginia and Dough-
ton of North Carolina have been
warning their Colleagues-and
the American people-that a day
of reckoning, a day of paying
through the nose for huge debts,
would come. The day is here.
1t is no pleasure for these gentle
men to say: Il told you So"
The House and Senate have
completed action on a new tax
bill which will take from the
American people an additional
$3.50, 100000 next year. Added
to the present taxes-the Federal
taxes alone-this will bring in
about $4,000 100000 a year, all
out of the pockets of the Ameri-
can people. 1t is estimated that
when these Federal taxes are
added to the State and local
taxes, the American people will
pay approximately S23 500 .0O0, 900
in taxes, or about one dollar out
of every four of the earnings of
all the people.
These taxes will not be paid

by the rich aIone. They couldn't
be. The rich could supply only
a small percentage of the total
if the Government took all their
income. They will be paid by
every living soul in this country
who has any income or makes
any purchases.
Further Taxes in Prospect.
If the Government took every
dollar of income from all per-
sons receiving 100000 or more
income, it would only amount to
about a billion dollars a year
one billion out of thirteen which
is being raised by the old and
new Federal taxes. Already
those in the high income brackets
are paying three out of every
four dollars of their income to
the Federal Government-and
they pay local and State taxes,
too. 1t is obvious, therefore, that
the burden of paying the Gov
ernment's debts and its running
expenses must fall on the rest
of the people. Furthermore, it
is now revealed that another tax
bill will be presented later to Con-
gress, asking for still further rev.
enue.
It's time the American people
took personal interest in the
expenditures made by the Gov
ernment. Too many people have
been interested in the past only

ed to report to the President and
