If there were nOtHllS iHOAS w

$500 than the brief 16-page
epilogue, the whole 377 pages
would still have been we'll worth
writing, as they are well worth
reading.
That brief epilogue gives
about as clear a view of what Is
going on in the world today as
anything yet written, and
clinches the proof built up all
through the book that Deuel.
went to Germany as correspon-
dent for the Chicago Daily
News not only to see and to re-
port, but to understand. After a
years deliberation and not like
prohibition liquor, fright off the
boat" Deuel. writes his book,
and it shows considerably more
thought and understanding than
most interpretations OF the Blur
red Reich.
Deuers book takes up many
phases of life under the Nazis,
each of which has been the SUBJ
ject of more specialized books.
But this one gives a sort of birds
eve view of all these phases
the underlying philosophy" OF
Nazism, business under the
Nazis. home, industrial and per-
sonal life, wages, recreation, love
and religion, with hair-curling
examples of the impingement OF
the above-God state into the
most intimate details Of what we
of the civilized world regard as
private life.
Best feature of Deuels book Is
the straight approach. Because
of a lack of underlined horror
at the things revealed, they
stand out as more horrible still
by being told straight.
Even Deuel. cannot always re-
sist a little rapier-play, as when
he tells of a newspaper attack on
the eating of lemons by Ger
mans, because lemons, not being
a product of the true German
scif, could not transmit the fin
est German vibrations to the
German blood. The article ex-
horted people to eat German rhu-
barb instead. This brought
complications, "for how asks
Deuel., tagging slightly. could
a peroxide Nordic, full of lasci-
vious lemons, armed with a
forged Aryan grandmother-and
perhaps an honor student of Pro-
lessor Marby's courses in rune
Rymnastics-be distinguished
from q real, or rhubarb, Nor
dic?"
The browning horror of the
whole Nazi revolution, cumula-
lively and clearly shown by
Deuel., is in the rape Of reason,
and in the sheer reputation OF
the thesis that man is thinking
being with an immortal and in
dividual soul.

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON

lotion Shortages like these ore
developing oil over the coun-
try. according to Z. S. Director
Of Transportation Joseph B.
Eostmon, who goes on to point
out thot shifting the load back
to the railroads is not the an
swer. The railroads have other
jobs to do in troop movements
and long houIs and q greatly
increased freight load. Nearly
900 cities today have no other
mass transportation than bus
ses, and there ore 48, 900 COM
munities in the country COM
pletely dependent on high
woys.
Over the lost 20 years, there
hos been q mania for tearing
up street cor tracks. Admitted-'
ly, these municipal railways
we're slow and blocked troffic
and couldn't be operated pro-
fitobIy. Competition from bus
ses knocked the troIIeys right
off their tracks and the trocks
themselves yonked up and sold
for junk. Before this war is
over, there will be lots Of COM
munities that will wish they
hadn't been SO hosty. The
trolley cor is due for q tenn
Porory wartime comeback.
There being q power Short
oee in the offine, through the
need Of conserving electrical
energy for war production, ex-
Ponsion, of electric railways
moy be out Of the question.
BAD FOR BUSES
Nor is the outlook for oddi-
tionol bus equipment encour-
aging, os all the truck and bus
plants are going full tilt on
war requirements. During
March, the manufacturers Of
buses to carry IS or more pos
sen9ers ore to be allowed un-
limited production, though in
February they ore being re-
stricted to 1000 buses, which
compares with q production Of
$50 in February, 1910.
Now, more buses may have
to be built just to save privote
cors, and these war buses
may be SO designed thot they
provide moximum spoce for
strophoneers, minimum space
for scots.
There are today on estimot-
ed 1000 bus line operators
with q combined fleet Of co.
600 vehicles. In addition, there
are about 90, 900 school buses
and perhaps $500 sightseeing
jobs. Pooling all these, chang
ing routes, staggering trips
oil these ore possibilities. For
instance, Director Eastman hos
suggested that school hours
and factory Shift hours in any
community might be stoeeer-
ed so that the same fleet Of
conveyonces could serve both
loads.
Consider those school buses
alone. In the last 20 years. full
emphasis Of rural education
has been placed on the con-
soIidoted school. Pickup and
home delivery Of pupils is an
established practise at a. 900
Of these modern institutions Of
learning. w o u d n t it be
strange, If the school bus trons-
portotion system had to be d.
verted to war industry use. and
we would 90 back to the little
red schoolhouse?

BREAD UPON THE WATERS

Cost thy bread upon the VOTERS"
odiured the Preacher. "for thou shalt
find it otter many days"
Nineteen years ago the United
Stotes cost certain breed upon the wo-
tiers, in the form Of life-soving and 9TH
er equipment which it sent to Japan out
of the fuIness Of q kind heart to relieve
the suffering in the disastrous wave Of
earthquakes, fires, and tdol-woves thot
swept the islands.
Today that bread is being found
again, otter many days. The supplies,
plainly marked ~. S. Army Transport
Merritt" were found in the invasion
borges used by japanese troops to at
tack MocArthur's Moenificents on 3D.
toon Peninsula. The Merritt was the
ship which carried the mercy cargo from
Manila in 1923; General Macarthur
is the man who loaded that cargo when
he was commander of the Philippine
Scouts.
1t is but poor return the japanese
are making for our generous impulse Of
l9 years ago.
Need we regret the impulse? We
think not. We Of the United Stotes be-
|eve in q God of mercy. 1t is with such
q God that we must square our actions.
If the japanese believe in some sort Of
divinity that sees no shame in turning
on benefootor in this way, SO much
the worse for japanese. II is they who
must face the responsibility for their
actions, as we for ours.
In the same way, the time may
come when we will not regret that we
held open the door to peace with Japan
until q blast Of eunfire came through
that very door. 1t all stands on the rec
ord, and we may have confidence that
the time will come when japanese tears
Of bitter shame and regret will try to
wipe out the stain Of that treocherous
attack at Pearl Horbor. Because others
have q concept of morality different
from our own, is not less. but more req
son to be true to our own.

Thot we can remember when bread
returns like thot which came to Botoon.
Thot we can remember when further
trials come. That we can remember
when our foith is tried.

About Time to Worry About
Enough Oil to Garry OF War

Where. then, is all the Oil that can
be produced BY opening valves? A
fairly accurate, If facetieus, reply is
that 1t is largely in Shangri-La.
The Louisiana Gulf Coast, with its
flowing wells, could produce at higher
rates, but apparently not consistently
over a protracted period Of time. The
Texas Gulf Coast IN recent years has
been consistently capable OF produc-
ing more than it has been called upon
to do, and today represents one Of the
major potential sources Of increased
production from established produc-
ton. The lower as well as the upper
portion Of the Texas Gulf Coast has
potential in excess Of current output.
West Texas and New Mexico also
doubtless could produce substantially
more than they are producing. How
ever, these regions can not be de-
pended upon to meet increasing over
all demands and at the same time
offset growing shortages elsewhere.
Neither is the situation comfortable
in the Rocky mountain and west
coast districts. In the Rocky mountain
states producing ability Is not mater
tally in excess OF actual current OUT
put. California is definitely uncom-
fortably low in producing ability, and
with increasing demands as
a result Of the Pacific ocean war.
There is speculation that West Texas
and New Mexico may be called upon
to supplement California output be-
fore long.
Considering all these situations. it
appears that now is not too soon to
be seriously concerned with the ma
tons oil producing ability. This seems
particularly true in view of drilling |
and discovery trends. Drilling for
eight months on a drasticaIy curtailed |
basis naturally has not helped dispel
the clouds, especially with its accom-
enlarged number Of dry holes.
Neither have wildcat results been OF
assistance, although large number
Of fields are being found, as practS
,ally all have been Of very small size.
Some day, and the sooner the bet
,er, there must be more drilling-es-

Excess Profits
Tax Is Comfort
To Our Enemies

Historians win record that the story
/ OF the Goose that Laid the Golden
/ Egg came true in the great world war
/ Of 1912 when the United States throt-
\ tied mining operations with an excess
profit tax which discourages miners
/ from trying to oven up new proper
/ ties. Without new properties no inn
portant increase in production Of
strategic materials is possible. That
It Is a Short-sighted policy Is demon
strated by the following example. cit
ed at a tax conference held in Reno.
New:
Example l.:
Where a taxpayer has accelerated
production and Is stin increasing cap
acity Of two strategic metals pursuant
to urgent requests Of the government,
and as a consequence viii pay q dis
criminatory penalty.
Corporation A has ore blocked out in
its mine which will yield $10x statu-
tory net profit. 1t has sax excess pro-
fits tax credit Under Ways and Means
Committee rates, If this ore is mined
at a uniform rate in five years the
tax will be as percent Of $I0X or S4.5X.
If it is mined in one year under plans
now being considered. the corporate
tax will be As percent Of SIX plus 90
percent Of sax or Six The penalty
for accelerating production is the diff
ference between SILK and $45x or
s36X plus the extra installations re-
quired to deplete the mine rapidly.
Example 2:
The effect from government stand
point of exempting income from ex-
cess profits tax
In the case Of the same corporation
A illustrated in Example /, II there
we're no excess profits tax and the ore
Is mined in one year, the corporation
win have left after tax $l0x less s4.5X
or S5.5x. This fund can be used:
/. To pay dividends-In this case
the stockholders will pay at least 90
percent of the dividend as tax and the
governments revenue will be $4.5X
corporate tax and $33x tax on divi-
dends or a total Of Sick Of revenue.
2. To explore for new deposits Of
strategic metals and to create new
sources Of national wealth and new
deposits Of critical and strategic met
ais.
3. Combination OF and 2.
Thus the metal Is produced faster.
The revenue Is about the same If di-
are paid II not, the money
is used to look for new critical and
strategic metals.

Pertinent comment on the outlook
for the oil industry is given by the
OH Weekly in its current issue Says
the Weekly:
"A surplus Of crude oil has pre-
vailed for so long that continuing
plenty has been more OF less taken
for granted. There is still widely held
opinion that providing any needed
quantity Of petroleum is simply mat
ter of further opening up valves. How
ever, time has marked on, and clouds
have now gathered in the erstwhile
rosy skies Of the oil producing master
the United States.
1.-THE Appalachian states could have
been marketing q million barrels
day in the famined east coast area,
but the best they can do is to produce
around $1,000 barrels daily. Produc-
ton in the region has been at strip
per stage so long, no hope is held for
any material boost. At a time when
larger production Is that state would
have been mama from Providence,
Illinois has been capable of onlv d.
nninishing crude output. Michigan, ike
Illinois. Is located where oil Is urgently
needed. but cannot safely produce
much more than 5000 barrels day,
and has failed recently to produce in
creased quotas allocated by OPC. In
diana. Kentucky, Tennessee, other
producing states in the North Central
area, are of minor importance and fu-
ture prospects appear no better than
current ability to produce.
The next step was to call upon
Oklahoma and Kansas for more OIL
to meet the situation. But Oklahoma
was not equal to the occasion, and has
been drawing on storage. Kansas
helped, fortunately, but its surplus Is
nowhere near the astronomical pro-
portions indicated by potential fig
ures used in the state Consequently,
other districts farther down in the mid
continent were turned to as supply
source. Today North Texas, East
Texas. North Louisiana and Arkansas
have no material potential above cur
rent production unless excessive
waste is permitted on the basis OF
being merry today for tomorrow may
never come.
