In the Hoods sinking he sa,o that il

utmost aid to Britain"
most breathless-with a sense Of
shock entirely out Of measure with
the size of the catastrophe to Brit
aims cause, the mere sinking of one
battle cruiser, albeit the largest in
the world.
It was in the Battle of Jutland
that Admiral Horace Hood, name
sake of the 42-000-ton battle cruiser,
lost his life on the Invincible, a YES
sci of the same relative class as the
Hood, and destroyed in, oddly
enough, exactly the same manner.
The story was dramatic enough,
the tale of sea fight between two
naval squadrons on the broad At
lantic, both far from their bases.
The Hood was the victim Of an ''un-
lucky hit" as the British reports
said, 15-inch shell from the Ger
man battleship Bismarck striking a
magazine, which caused the main
magazine to let go, blowing the ship
up and sinking her in matter Of
seconds.
Most of the crew of 1904 were
drowned, presumably the captain
and admiral, as the Hood was flag
ship and bore the adnirals colors.
But back of it all questions were
asked and only some of them had
the answers forthcoming from Brit
ish sources.
One of these was the query of why
the battle had taken place so far out
on the Atlantic. The British an
swered this by saying that their
squadron had deliberately let the
GermaA ships get far away from
their base in order to intercept them
where they could not avoid battle.
Another question was where the
German vessels were headed for, be-
ing intercepted between Greenland
and Iceland, and nearer to Green
land. This was of especial interest
to American naval men because
of the fact that the United States
had lately pledged itself to the pro-
tGCLlOu VI GISSIAdIiu. ALCAS WoS
no immediate answer.
Naval men in this country imme-
diately, however, were quoted as
saying that the loss of the Hood
showed that it was improper to sac
rifce strength of armor-plate to
speed, the Hood carrying Pinch
armor where most vessels took Il
inch, in order to achieve S2-mot
speed.
American vessels were not so con-
structed, U. S. admirals reported,
especially those now being planned.
But boiled down the news bore a
disastrous note, power note on the
part of the German assault both in
the battle of the Atlantic and that
Of the Mediterranean which gave
American hackers of id-to-Britain a
general moody outlook on the con-
duct of the war.

SHOULD BE DIRECT,
NOT INDIRECT TAX

SHUULD BE DIHECI,
NOT INDIRECT TAX
WHEN WE TAX business we tax
production and distribution. When
we tax production and distribution,
we tax the consumer. This Is the
hidden tax we hear about.
Taxes are a part of the cost of
production and distribution. They
are a part of the cost of a product.
That additional cost is added to the
selling price of the product, or pre-
vents lowering of the price if econ
omies of production would otherwise
lower it.
If Observation-Disclosures and dis
tribution-did not pass on to the
consumer the increased cost occa-
stoned by taxes, business would
soon be bankrupt and the consumer
would lose by a loss of jobs.
We are all part of American
business and all are dependent on
its continued operation. All of us
are concerned directly or indirectly
with production and distribution.
When the politicians tax business
directly they tax all of us in
directly as much, or more, than any
direct tax would have amounted to.
Politicians looking to their per-
sonal future-a continuance of their
jobs-attempt to mislead the mass
of Americans by Boosting of their
intention to take from business the
money needed to pay for the extrav-
agances of government, and they
succeed in putting over such mis-
leading idea.
Men well versed in finance and
industry, well qualified to speak on
the subject, tell us that before we
are through with the present world
holocaust the federal government
will be facing an indebtedness OF
$3.50, 000, 100000, a sum so great that
it is impossible to conceive what
it means. In the face of such
prospect, congress does not attempt
any economies in the normal opera
tons, of the government.
Despite the fact that more than
a million men are now in the armed
forces of the nation, that industries
engaged in providing implements Of
preparedness for ourselves and war
materials for England are provid-
ing work at high wages for millions
of men, and seeking more help,
our relief costs do not come down.
We are still spending billions for
relief. so coz
The politician is not willing to say
to those who prefer the meager iv-
ing a government dole provides to
working for a better living that they
must either work or starve. The re-
ceivers of relief vote, and the poll
tician will not jeopardize that
vote.
We must prepare for defense. We
must have battleships, airplanes,
tanks, merchant ships, all the inn
plements needed for war. But
we must also prepare for the future
and it will be a dark future if we
are to face a national indebted
ness of $3.50, 00O,0 1000, 900.
Congress should economic in
every practical and possible way,
and it should levy an honest tax and
collect it in an honest way SO each
individual may know what he pays
"a direct instead of an indirect tax.

PIONEER SPIRIT
STILL ALIVE

ORANGE, CALF, is a little city
of 5000 people, typical of the Golden
state. 1t was founded by pioneers
who stopped there when it was but
a crossing place of trails. Many of
its first generation Of settlers are
still living They knew it when the
spot on which the city stands and
all the surrounding country was a
sandy desert. Their children see it
today as a modern small American
city, enjoying all the advantages
America offers and surrounded
by wsll-kept, prosperous farms,
ranches and orange groves.
But the younger element is not
permitted to forget its pioneer origin.
I witnessed the parade that is a
part of each annual harvest festival.
The outstanding features of that
parade were the covered wagons OF
the pioneers, the prospector and his
burro, the cart Of the pioneer ped
dler AMI handyman-every possible
display of the hardships and simple
pleasures of the pioneer as the
foundation on which the city was
built. Interspersed with these were
the brightly uniformed bands, many
of them from the various county
high schools, each led by high-step-
ping girl majorettes, and with mod
ern floats representative of city in
dustries and institutions.
But it was the evidences of the
pioneer days that appealed to the
people and caught and held the
crowds. These displays represented
the spirit that is back, not of Orange
only, but of all the towns and
small cities Of the West. That pio-
neer spirit is not dead, and will not
die. It is the American spirit.

STRIKES:
Coal, Planes

While labor troubles appeared less
frequent as the defense mediation
board went into action more and
more strongly, those which were
vexing the defense chiefs were more
vital and hit more directly against
defense production.
Gone from the scene were juris-
dictional disputes, and the Ford
company, grim in the face Of c.
/. o. victory at the NLRB polls,
said it would "obey the law"
But the coal strike, with only IS
days coal supply left above ground
and the threatened strike against
North American Aviation, not to
mention the shipyard strike on the
West coast, were the sort of thing
that were giving mediators head
aches.
Opponents of the C. l. o. called
Lewis dictator" while Lewis
called the coal mine operators in
the South some hard names. The
plane workers were asking in
creases of minimums from SO to rs
cents an hour, which observers said,
if granted, might cause similar
fights all over the industry, hitting
at the very heart of the defense
idea.
Planes were coming off the as
sembly lines slowly enough, and
were carrying with them bottlenecks
which were serious enough without
labor difficulties to complicate
things.
Knudsen, OPM chief, and Hill
man, his aide, at the close of the
first year of Americas "all-out" de-
tense effort, told the 1,625 new in
dustrial facilities started, of So, $780,

and carried with it the connotation

DIES:
Tries Again

The Dies committee, having failed
to rouse a ripple of newspaper en-
thusiasm over his projected reveal
ing of Communist infiltration into
governmental circles, hit the front
pages with a bang when it made
public three documents purporting
to reveal the secret rules Of the
Nazi Bund in this country.
Dies said that they were seized
from the effects of Bund Fuehrer
Kunze, now in prison. He said that
they:
ATTEST to the ruthless efficiency
of the military setup which charac-
terizes Hitler's machine in Germa-
ny; anticipate violence, and express
fealty to the totalitarian form of
government"
Having thus placed the stamp of
subversiveness on the Bund, and
also the stigma of fifth column
nists," the committee report said
the Bund had $4,000 active MEM
bers and 100000 sympathizers out
side its membership rolls.
Dies said the documents reveal a
planned countrywide organization,
with Fuehrer, Gauleiters district
leaders) down even to ''block lead
ers" according to an exact imita-
ton of the Nazi set-up.
A party message, according to the
Bund organization, could theoret-
ically be spread over the entire ma
ton within five hours.
