sleeping quarters for men over week
ends.
Unless there is an additional con-
centration of troops here, we feel
that barracks for men is now I'M
necessary" Mr.. Wolter said this
morning. He declared he was I'M
able to name the two agencies until
surveys being conducted by recrea-
ton services had been completed.
He announced more than a week
ago that the Coast Guard Auxiliary
had offered the second floor of its
headquarters at 900 Maine avenue
S.W. With fireproofing and install
lation of additional toilet facilities,
the building could accommodate ITS
men, he said.
A major problem remains, how
ever, Mr.. Wolter said. On the basis
Of preliminary surveys of the three
places, approximately 100000 will
be required to put them in operat-
ing condition and to maintain a
staff for a year.
Questioned as to where to get the
money, Mr.. Wolter said the Board
Of Trustees of recreation services
will meet next Friday to discuss
the question. He suggested e. por-
ton of the funds be supplied
through Federal appropriation.
In answering charges of DR..
Frank Lloyd, assistant director of
recreation for the Federal Security
Agency, that local agencies were
seeking the easy way out" in
urging Federal aid for servicemen
facilities, Mr.. Wolter reminded F.
S. A. that that agency was charged
with just that problem.
"Of course it's Joint problem
between the Government and the
District-but we at least look for an
indication from the Government
that we will get some Federal sup
port" Mr. Wolter remarked in reply
to the officials assertion yesterday
that for the District to assume we
must take over the whole problem
is doing it the easy way"
The r. S. A. official pointed out
that it was the job Of F. S. A. to
interest the city in assuming some
responsibility for providing housing
for enlisted men on leave.
Mr.. VOTERS disclosure of addi-
tional offers received since last week
ends blizzard, during which three
existing agencies were dangerously
overcrowded, now brings the total
probable accommodations for Serv-
ice men to ISIS.
Recently F. S. A. announced it
had shifted its support for 1900
man barracks for men to one that
would be used by woman war work
ers here. The structure would be
built on Union Station Plaza under
pans now being drawn up by Fed
eral Works Agency.
Numerous phone calls have been
received from citizens offering cots
blankets and bedclothes since The
Stars stories called attention to the
situation Mr.. Wolter said.
A survey conducted last week end
revealed that between $4,000 and
20 900 men spent Saturday and Sum
day In Washington, Mr.. Wolter re-
vealed. He said he could not esti-
mate the number who were unable
to find place to sleep.
Surveys will be made again this
week end and next to gather more
accurate data, he said.

IMANPOWER

The manpower problems of the nation
can be understood when we are told that in
1888 only 100000 out of 133,000,O00
Americans were at work
In June, of this year, the work force,
including 100000 men in the armed serv-
ices, has risen to 100000 individuals.
By the end of 1943, this figure is ex-
pected to include 65,O00,690 Americans
and 100000 must be women.
The estimate includes 100000 Am
orleans in uniform, with 7,50O,000 in the
Army and about 100000 in the Navy.
Some 20,O00,00O would be employed in war
industries and 12,OOO,O0O would work on
the farms. Another 24,OOO,OOO would have
to care for activities which, few-years ago,
required the services of about 100000
Americans
In view of these figures, it is not sur
prising that the President has advised he
nation that now we must learn to ration
manpower."

GERMANS TO EAT IF OTHERS STARVE

Hermann Goering, Nazi No. 2, fur
nishes the people of Occupied Countries
with the inside tip-off as to where they
stand.
Goering warns that eff there is hunger,
it will be, in no event, in Germany"
Frankly, the Nazi leader says that his
people will be fed this winter at the ex-
pense of the rest of Europe. If other pop
ulations suffer, it will "be due to measures
by the enemy"
Of course, Goering's policy does not
mean that Germans will get plenty TO eat
Moreover, he frankly tells them that the
German air force is so busy in Russia that it
cannot get around to the British challenge
in the air. He asks the Germans to stand
up under British bombing with patience,
promising day of retaliation.
Altogether,cit is something of a feeble
,utterance by one of the chiefs of Hitler's
New Order. Despite all that the German
Army has accomplished, the second Nazi
admits that Europe will be without ade-
quate food this Winter, that the war in
Russia will continue into 1943 and that
there is no defense to protect German cities
and industrial cities from Anglo-American
bombing.

CONTEMPLATING THE HOUSE

Congress is to be commended upon its
courage in passing the bill subjecting
youths Of Is to 10 years of age to military
service under the Selective Service
act.
However, The Citizen believes that
these 'teenage inductees should not be
placed in actual combat duties until they
have had at least one years military train
ing following their induction. This has not
beer definitely decided upon.
President Roosevelt, who opposed any
restrictive measures, advanced the argu
ments that complicated administration
necessarily involved in the handling Of
large numbers of men by the Army, as well
as the necessity for correcting present de-
fcencies as to age, make it important that
limitations other than those not included
in the bill be avoided"
Congress thinks otherwise.
We should not overlook the implca-
ton contained in the passage of such a
measure at this time. 1t means that the
leaders of this nation envisage the danger
that threatens and are determined TO take
every step that will protect the safety of the
republic.
The idea that the war is about over,
that it will be won without hard fighting
and serious losses, so far as the soldiers of
the United States are concerned, can be
forgotten. Apparently there is no such pos
sibility.
We regret the necessity to call up
young men of Is and 10 years of age but
we see no other source of the manpower
that the Army must have. We hope that it
will not be necessary in future years but we
know that the only way to avoid such a call
to military service in the future is to take
appropriate steps to prevent another war,
like this one.
Consequently, mothers and fathers
who naturally feel that their babies are
being called upon for considerable sacri-
fices should be among the first to dedicate
themselves, in future years, to the cause Of
peace, based upon force, directed by rea-
son.

DIR. TUCKER OPENS: Although
the national income in the first half
of 1912 was 500 higher than in 1899.
industrial corporation profits (net
after taxes), according to the Federal
Reserve Board, were only 1919
higher. Moreover profits have been
declining for nearly year while
wages and farm incomes have been
rising rapidly. War work involves
great expenses, and profit margins
are limited by price ceilings and con-
tract renegotiations.
What profit has seemingly been mac !.
has mostly been taken away by taxes,
which were 31% on income and 500
on excess profits in 194l. Both of these
rates are higher in the 1912 tax bill.
Consequently the amount available
for dividends, which is the only fair
measure of corporations profits, will
probably be much less than in 1910
or 1941, and about the same as in
1899. Dividends have been falling
since last December, because of
falling profits and the necessity of
setting aside adequate reserves for
the inevitable costs of postwar re-
adjustment.
Isolated cases of small, corporations
making large profits have been re-
ported. but industrial corporations
in general, whether engaged in war
work or attempting to continue
normal activities. have lost more be-
cause of the war than they have
gained.
DIR. WALSH CHALLENGES: We
need a standard of judgment on
what profits should be. suggest they
be enough-no more than necessary
to induce the output we require
for about war. I know no one who
seriously holds that profits are now
inadequate to do that.
Indeed, DR.. Tucker admits that 1912
profits are 1919 higher than 1889
the wars first year and a year Of
good profits and expanding produce
ton.
The conclusion is unmistakable.
Profits are higher than they need be;
hence they are too high and should
be taxed more heavily than even the
new revenue bill will require.
DIR. TUCKER REPLIES: I repeat
that profits in 1912 will probably be
about the same as in 1889. They will
certainly be at a lower rate on the
amount of investment.
Weekly wages average 50% higher
than in 1899; why should profits be
lower? If profits should be limited to
the lowest rate required for about
war, why should not wages be SINH
larly limited? Why discriminate
against 100000 stockholders?
The preservation of free enterprise
and free labor requires that profits
be high enough to offset losses over
the years, and enough higher to In.
duce investment. Present profits are
low by that standard.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1942-10-26

DIR. WALSH OPENS: My answer
is, yes. The U. S. Treasury, the Presi-
dent and Congress agree. That is why
they are presently supporting in
creases in corporation tax rates. In
1941 corporation profits (net after
taxi reached a 10-year high-70%
over 1889, 300 over 1940-in spite of
the increased tax schedule.
Even during the first half of 19' 2.
income, before taxes, continued up
ward. This can be reversed only by
higher taxes. Unless we want another
year of high profits; if we want to
prevent a dangerous incongruity-
war for the many, profits for the few
we must adopt at least the in
creased rates of the present bill.
The above is sufficient answer, but
is easily reinforced. Current reserves
for various contingencies, including
taxes, are probably excessive. BUSI-
NESS WEEK says: MANY executives
have left a comfortable margin of
safety" These reserves make profits
look smaller than they are, not to
mention the Understandable padding
of executive salaries and bonuses in
dictated by Truman Committee evil
dence.
Profits can be reduced safely. Brit
ain has done it without injury to
the war effort. It may indeed have
helped through assuring the people
that the war is being conducted with
equality of sacrifice.
Yes, corporate war profits are too
high.
DIR. TUCKER CHALLENGES
Equality of sacrifice demands that
all persons, not merely stockholders,
accept a reduced standard of living;
that war gains be taxed, whether re-
ceived by corporations or individuals;
that income received from doing
business under the corporate form
be not doubly taxed, once when
earned by the corporation and again
when received by the corporation's
owners. The British have never dis
eliminated against stockholders as
we have done by taking heavy taxes
out of dividends, no matter how
small their incomes might be. The
pending bill reduces stockholders
incomes more severely than in Brit
ain, while taxing other incomes less.
DIR. WALSH REPLIES: DR.. Tucker
avoids the question. He says war
means reduced standards for all.
Granted, except for people of low
incomes. Taxes should hit individ-
uals as well as corporations, he says.
Granted again. AS for double taxa
ton, it is an old custom. Good or
bad, the war didn't bring it. But none
of this relates to our question
whether corporations are making too
much from the war. They are, be-
cause profits exceed the good peace
year 1899, and because they are more
than enough to induce full produc-
ton. These conditions are repugnant
for they amount to an arrangement
whereby the war is for enterprise
and business boom
