Tax Burden OF Poorer Persons

There is considerable significance in the warning of
Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau that
selfish interests seeking to shift part of their tax
responsibility to poorer persons" who are already
making 'far contribution" to taxes.
The Secretary of the Treasury says that further
taxes should be levied the lowest income group until
every other of has been exhausted and
every loophole has been closed.
Mr. Morgenthau gives the result of a study, made

This information which comes from the Secretary
OF the Treasury should carry considerable weight with
Americans who are anxious to distribute the financial
burden of war along just economic principles. 1t will
not carry any weight with people who trying

Churchill Suppressed It After Anthony Eden Had
 Given Approval

London, Nov. 24.-(UP)-Prime Minister Winston Churchill SUD- pressed a radio speech by Gen Charles De Gaulle, fighting French leader, after Foreign Secretary An thony Eden had approved it foi broadcasting Sunday, it was reveal ed today.
 Richard R. Stokes, Labor, revealed the suppression in questioning Eden
 we are seriously disturbed by the sudden appearance of the forces of reaction everywhere" Stokes said Tt looks pretty squalid."
 He asked Eden what Churchill ob- jected to in the De Gaulle speech.
 "There was no difference between the Prime Minister and myself, !" Eden said.
 He promised to arrange for a full reply to Stokes.
 People are asking Why Dar- lamp" Stokes told Eden. He read some of Darlan's past orders to the French forces such as:
 "'Never forget that the English betrayed you in Flanders; England shall pay"
 T wonder whether the British Broadcasting Corporation will be al- lowed to broadcast tonight or whether the Prime Minister with his red-headed Goebbels (Information Minister Brendan Bracken) will sit on it?" Stokes asked.
 "Is not the head of the Fighting French allowed to broadcast? It is very humiliating. People are say- ing, Why sacrifice our lives to make the world full of Darlans.
 Why was Sir Stafford Cripps ousted?" (frcm the War Cabinet) Here the forces of reaction are at work again. I wonder whether the next victim will be the Archbishop of Canterbury?

But after this episode de Gaulle could rightly boast that he was the sole democratic leader who never has had any truck with either vchy or Berlin
 WHEREFORE, though he became the symbol rather A than the actual leader of militant France and apparently was virtually ignored by the military strategy which absorbed North Africa, he suddenly became Gallic Sir Galahad again

A PROCLAMATION
 "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord" Across the uncer- tain ways of space and time oul hearts echo those words, for the days are with us again when, at the gathering of the harvest. we solemn ly express our dependence upon almighty God.
 The final months of this year, now almost spent, find our republic and the nations joined with 1t waging battle on many fronts for the preservation of liberty.
 In giving thanks for the greatest harvest in the history of our nation, we who plant and reap can we'll resolve that in the year to come we will do all in our power to pass that milestone; for by our laborS In the fields we can share some part of the sacrifice with our brothers and sons who wear the uniform of the United States.
 It Is fitting that we recall now the reverent words of George Washington,
 Almighty God, we make our earnest prayer that thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy pro- tection,"
 And that every American in his own way lift his voice to heaven.
 I recommend that all of us bear in mind this great psalm:
 '"The Lord is my Shepherd; shall not want.
 'He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.
 He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of right eous for His names sake.
 "Yea, though walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: For Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enc mics: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever"
 Inspired with faith and courage by these words, let us turn again to the work that confronts us in this time of national emergency: in the armed services and the merchant marine in factories and offices; on farms and in the mines; on high ways, railways and airways; in other places of public service to the nation; and in our homes.
 Now, therefore, I, Franklin D Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, do hereby invite the attention of the people to the joint resolution of Congress approved December 26, 194l, which desig. mates the fourth Thursday in No. vember of each year as Thanksgiv. ing day; and I request that botf Thanksgiving day, November 26 l942, and New Years day, January 1, 1943, be observed in prayer, pub

Ban Jews from Public

VICHY, July IS - R The
Vichy government published a
sweeping decree today taking
over the management of all Jew
ish-controlled property and bus
inesses, leases and rights in
French colonies.
The edict came upon the heels
of Gestapo order barring Jews
from every public gathering
place, indoors or outdoors, in
the Nazi-occupied regions.
The German order was sign
ed by the head of the Gestapo
and Nazi storm troops in France
instead of by the commander Of
the military occupation forces
and contained provisions more
severe than the anti-Jewish reg
ulations in effect in Berlin.
The last order before this -
providing for the shooting Of

Frenchmen wanted for Anti
German acts-also was signed
by the Gestapo chief but all be-
fore had been issued by the
military commander.
