admiral of Europe"
Thus the whole picture is in full
light. The immediate aim of the
German Fuehrer and of his advisers
is to foster in the so-called European
hemisphere a somewhat aggressive
spirit of solidarity to be let loose
against the Western Hemisphere.
Resistance to England and eventu-
ally to the United States-armed re-
sistance If necessary-is the price to
be paid by such nations as France
and Portugal.
Two months ago I mentioned in
these dispatches that Darlan was
nicknamed III Vichy the Admiral
of Europe" OF course, admiral of
Europe he will not be-neither in the
true sense of the word nor lastingly.
But, as the manager of the largest
colonial empire owned by member
state of the European system and as
the commander of perhaps the most
efficient feet in the world after the
British, the American and the jap
aneSe, he will be entitled to special
honors which he is not the man to
despise
At the present time England and
France are within an inch of coming
TO blows in Syria. During the last
few days, all German airmen have
been Withdrawn from that land.
The German Machiavelli thinks it
clever stroke to leave British and
French face TO face.
The London government is called
upon to take a momentous deci-
sion. Is it possible for Gen. Archi-
bald Wavell and his Iieutenants to
invade Syria with reasonable pros
poets of success?
1t is felt in responsible quarters
that the problem of the French en-
pire ought not to be dealt with
piecemeal, but as a whole and as
far as possible according to pre-
arranged plan. Last week, Anthony
Eden uttered publicly some phrases
which were interpreted as a pledge
to support Syrian independence and
Arab unity.
1t cannot be ascertained whether
it is true or not that the contro-
versies which sprang up between
Gen. Wavell and CatrouX, the Free
French leader in Cairo, from some
of the diplomatic conceptions enter
tanned by British diplomacy have
| delayed the initiatives of the British
command in the Near East. For
French patriots, the requirements of
British victory are the only thing
| that matters since by no other means
can Frances independence be re-
covered. Therefore Syria doesn't
weigh heavily in the scales. Yet that
! instance shows that all issues in re-
lation to the French empire ought
| to be more closely co-ordinated.

The Netherlands forces are

more than sufficient to give the

The air force is in good shape.
1t has been greatly increased

The native population is
strongly anti-Japanese and there
is little likelihood of such fifth
column activities as we have
seen in Europe.
The Indies governor general,
while talking TO the japanese,
has taken all precautions that

TOXIC. June 6-The newspaper
Hochi reported today that Soviet
Foreign CommiSSar Vyacheslav Mo-

summer, returning the visit which
japanese Foreign Minister Yosuke

There was no confirmation from

Molotov'S principal objective, Ho-

Besides forces from Japan,
substantial number of troops has
been moved from the Chinese

feels that it can withdraw as

Tax Sources

Reports Say

District officials are exploring"
all sources Of income In hopes Of dis
covering additional funds 10 meet
National Capital within the present
tax structure. but the specter OF new
taxes is still abroad.
Real estate assessed at S14 900 600,
hitherto exempt for one reason or
another. has been restored to the tax
rolls already by special committee
headed by Budget Director Walter
L. Fowler and still more is in
prospect. The approximate tax value
to the city is $4,000.
At the same time the District IS
hoping for a favorable Supreme
Court decision on the De Hart and
Murphy cases which would permit
them to extend the income tax to
Government employees domiciled
here whether or not they maintain
legal or voting residence elsewhere
Additional income 10 the District
would result from such a decision.
But even with these increases
those that have already come about
and those that might-at least one
of the Commissioners believes new
or higher taxes may be necessary
to enable the city to get the addi-
tional employees and other protective
services required because of the
steadily mounting population.
This is no sleepy town on the
Potomac" declared Commissioner
Guy Mason. this is big city"
He admitted he was pesSimistic
about getting through without more
taxes.
There appears to be no disposition
at the District Building to boost the
rate of real estate tax. which now
bears most of the load of the citv's
expenses The only other courses
seem TO be sales tax or an increase
in the income tax
Since all previous efforts to have a
sales tax here have been beaten at
the Capitol. it was indicated that
the realistic approach" would be
through the income tax.

enues. it was pointed out that the
estimates still will not meet tbs

that more money may be needed
later.
