PRODUCTION LOSSES
SINCE PEARL HARROR

LAST DECEMBER %, two weeks
after Pearl Harbor, the AFL and
CLIO assured the President that
there would be no more strikes
called by organized labor for the du-
ration of the war. From January l
to July of this year a total of
1,l30,678 man days were lost to war
production only because of strikes
called by local union racketeers.
These may not have been authorized
strikes, but in no single instance
was any local union or local racke-
teer official disciplined because the
strikes were called. The men who
were called out had to respond or
lose their opportunity to work in
any union-controlled plant. Practi-
cally all union workers are patri-
otto. That cannot be said of the
labor racketeers who seek self in
tereSts only.

TAXES:
Set q Record

Everybody agreed that it was
coming but when the record break
ing 1913 tax bill cleared the final
congressional hurdle the public hest
tated for a moment to look it over
and then pushed on with their jobs
in the nations war effort. AnalyZ-
ing the provisions of the bill as
agreed upon by senate and house
conferees in speedy action this is
what the public learned:
The treasury estimated that fed
eral revenues would be increased by
just under seven billion dollars
S6,881 1880, 900, to be exact.
Normal income tax rates were
stepped up from 4 to 6 per cent.
Surtaxes which formerly ranged
from 6 to ~ per cent have now been
set at from Is to 80 per cent.
A new tax-called the Victory tax
was imposed on all income larger
than 1924 per year. (This meant
gross tax on all wages over $12
a week, although a portion of the
tax will be rebatable at the end Of
the war, the amount of rebate would
vary.)
Personal income tax exemptions
were reduced from $500 to 81, 200
for married persons and from $3.50
to $500 for single persons. Credit
for dependents at the same time was
reduced from $500 to $3.50.
There are many other provisions
to the bill but these were the ones
which John @. Citizen was going to
feel most directly. He would
notice, too, however, that there were
increased excise taxes on such items
as liquor, beer, wine, cigarettes, ci-
gars, lubricating oil, slot machines,
Photographic apparatus, train, bus,
and plane fares. He would also no.
tice increased corporation taxes but
to the average citizen these would
hurt less, for they would be indirect
taxes.
Financial experts reasoned that
direct taxes would not be raised any
higher even though the u. S. war
needs become more urgent. Other
means of increasing the government
income would have to be found.
Many plans, including compulsory
savings, have already been given
careful study by the treasury de-
partment.

FEATHERS WANTED
Royal Bourbons

Probably more royal personages
were produced by the House OF
Bourbon than by any other family
in history, says Golfers. Since
its origin in France in the year
861, more than a thousand of its
descendants have served as mon
archs, at one time or another, in
eight countries: Austria, Belgium,
England, France, Italy, Portugal,
Spain and Turkey.

NEW BASE:
For Fighting Subs

That a good number of the Nazi
U-boats had been shifted from the
U. S. Atlantic coastal area to the
Africa sea lanes was indicated by
the announcement that U. S. troops
had arrived in the Negro republic of
Liberia and Raj planes were using
that country as base for hunting
Nazi submarines.
Only $50 miles from Dakar, i'm
portant base in French West Africa,
and just across the Atlantic from
the "bulge of Brazil" Liberia could
serve as vital point in protection
of any threatened raid there by Axis
forces.
The fact that U. S. troops and the
Raj were dispatched to Africa add
ed to the growing speculation that
Africa was looming large as a the
alter of war.

WEST COAST SHIPYARD
AND PROFITS

A WEST COAST SHIPYARD had
a cost-plus order for the building of
Liberty ships. That order was
changed early in the summer to a
contract price per ship. After the
change, the yard laid off 10000 en-
ployees and built ships faster than
it had before. There may be either
one of two answers to such a situa-
ton, or both may apply.
If the shipyard were employing
more men than were needed in or
der to increase costs and so in
crease profits, the government
would take back practically all of
the increased profits through the
heavy excess profits tax. If the
men were but soldering on the job,
it was case of sabotage or worse.

the Rhineland capital with two-ton
"block busters" for the first time
since May 80, when 1,130 British
planes blasted huge sections of the

STATUS QUO: President Roose-
welt has announced that no change
is contemplated in the governorship
of Puerto Rico, now held by Rexford
G. Tugwell. Tugwells removal had
been asked by the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor.
CASUALTIES: From Tokyo broad

The deaths were revealed at the an

PACIFIC:
Showdown

There was a new name in the dis
patches and official communicates
reporting the results of the show
down battle for control of the Solo
mon islands and ultimate suprema-
cy in the whole South Pacific bat
tie zone. The name was Buin-a
strong japanese base in the north
ern Solomons. 1t was here that the
United Nations learned the Jap had
concentrated good share of his
striking power.
BUN is located on the southern
end of an island (Bougainville) and
is less than two hours away from
Guadalcanal by bomber and only
one days run for Jap ships. Yet
to reach this point, u. S. planes
based at Port Moresby, New Guinea
had to fly over 700 miles of noun
tains and then over miles of jap
controlled sea. This was the same
problem that u. S. land-based planes
at Port Moresby and on the Austria
liam mainland had to face in helping
the marines, army and navy units at
Guadalcanal.
Early in the final struggle for both
points-Buin and Guadalcanal-U. S.
scout planes determined how much
strength the Jap had actually gath
cred at BUN. They learned there
were large numbers of cruisers, de-
stroyers, transports, seaplane tend
ers, cargo vessels and swarm Of
flying boats. This meant that the
Jap really wanted to recapture his
lost positions around Guadalcanal.
This came as no surprise to the
u. S. forces for even last August
when the first marine detachments
dislodged the Japs from that area,
military experts predicted that they
would be back and would fight hard
to regain their losses. And as the
battle for Guadalcanal and the Sol
onions reached its climax both the
Japs and the Allies admitted the
truth of such prediction. The re-
suits spoke for themselves.
Northern Front
On the opposite (northern) end of
the Pacific front U. S. army bomb
ers continued their almost daily
raids on Kiska, last Jap stronghold
in the Aleutians. These raids were
important because earlier reports
indicated that the Japs had rein
forced their garrison there and had
also been building new installations
at Gertrude Cove on the south side
of the island. It was believed that
when the Japs were chased out of
Attu and Agattu, two other Aleutian
bases, they took many of their sup
plies with them, preparing for last
ditch stand at KiSka.

PROMPT ACTION:
On 1919 Draft Bill

Prompt senate and house action
keynoted legislative moves to draft
10 and 19-year-old men, thus add
ing approximately 100000 teen
age youths to the ever-growing army,
which is expected to reach $500, 900
by the end of 1913.
Principal difference in the house
and senate bill evolved around the
"draft priority system. This sys-
tenn, approved by the house and
rejected by the senate committee,
would prohibit the induction of mar
ried men in any given state until
all supplies of single men were ex-
hausted, and would prevent the in
duction of men with children until
all childless married men were
called.
Mai. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, Sc
lective service director, opposed the
measure. He stated that it would
upset schedules until December /,
when the 1919 draft group will be
''processed" and ready for Undue
ton. Senator Taft took the lead in
the drive for the system. He long
has been an advocate of national
uniformity in draft quotas.
A second difference in the bills in
volved the deferment of youths to
complete educational courses. The
senate bill provided special defer
ments for high school students
called during the second half of the
current school year. The house bill
extended the deferment clause to
colleges as well.
The two measures agreed in max
ing liable for the draft men formerly
deferred in class 4-F because of con-
victions for "dry law violations
during the prohibition era. Senator
Barley expressed the belief that
priority should be studied later.

TORPEDOED:
In Cabot Strait

Torpedoed in darkness between
Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, a
ferry steamship, the Caribou, sank
in Cabot strait with the loss of 1877
lives - Canadians and Americans,
soldiers and civilians. 1t was the
worst disaster in Canadian coastal
waters. The submarine that sank
the ferry came to the surface and
watched the ship 60 down within a
few minutes. In coming to the sur
face the sub was thought to have
capsized two or three lifebats.

NEGOTIATED PEACE

A NEGOTIATED PEACE might
be effected at most any place and
at any time. An unconditional sur
render peace can be had only at
Berlin after Germany has been in
vaded. A negotiated peace would
guarantee third World war. An
unconditional surrender peace can
be an insurance against a third
world conflict. That insurance poll
cy is worth fighting for.

must now suffer the penalty of gas

who forced the necessity of gas ra-

that Wayne would let this wreck
his life, or break his heart. His life
was too full; his heart too brittle,
but he would not forget her, the
sweetness of this love-not in ten

need not have dreaded his return.

stranger who sometimes stood be-

She did not give Wayne her rea-

she asked 1t OF him.
He said, IN do that-and thank
