Defense OF Leon Blum

There must be universal admiration for the dignity and
courage of 7Oyear-Od Leon Blum he stands before his
orsers in the court at ROm-nOt defending himself but
rather utterng challenge TAccuse at those who would
convict him.
The story of Leon Blum is one of the most tragic of
modern times for in land there Jew who tried
more ardenty and honoraby to his country and it's
neope But when he to power in 1886, Xavier Vaa
ow Commissioner for Jewish Affairs of the Vchy Govern
me stood up in the Chamber of Deputies to shout at the
new PREMIER You not the Prime Minister of France
You are the agent of the Jews"
There is glory in Leon Blum, outstanding Frenchman
noble humanitarian. But there mseraby pathetic side
Ito Leon Bums story. He told the RiOm court last week
that his being Jew had not in the slightest affected his
actvtyy Premier of France. AS proof he sted his
dealings with Hitler agent to restore friendly relations be-
tween his country and Germany "even though Jew
and Marxst."
But the tragedy of Leon Blum is that his Jewishness
did affect him. He acted many other Jews, in his
country and in the United States have acted and do still
champion of trade unions as respecter of liberty
equality and fraternity" for ALL Leon Blum might we'll have
said: I'VE cannot live at peace with Germany which vio

He felt it, though he told Riom that it did not infu
ence him. He did what many Jews in high positions have
done. He leaned backward" He may have thought he
was helping France Instead he hurt her. Just because he
was Jewand would not realize that being Jew should
no more affect ones thinking statesman than being
MASON or writer of novels drinker of wine
AS Leon Blum speaks CALAMITY and elOquenty, from
e witness stand at ROm he is the symbol of all Jews who
feel their origin and their faith should circumscrbe their
pUnucal social and economic action. Ii Leon Blum had
taken his JewshnesS for granted instead of trying to act
inc opposite way from that which his conscience prompt
nm ne might still have been accused at ROm but at

Voice OF Senator Johnson

It is not the Struma disaster ITSELF though evokes
the profoundest sympathy and Indignation which is the
heart of the issue between the Jewish people and Great

They have right to expect something far different from

that he but of majority of the United States

TOBACCO TAXES
HAVE BIG PART
IN U. ). Defense
More than 81 900, 600
Weekly Paid by Max
ers Of ChesterfieIds

NEW YORK, Feb 26--How i'm
portant Americas great tobacco in
dustry is as source of national
revenue is emphasized in the new
advertising for Chesterfield cigar
cites. The campaign points out that
this revenue is more important than
ever know, when we are making the
greatest war effort of all time, be-
cause of what it could buy to help
arm America
More than 100000 a week-over
$l04, 100000 a year is paid to the
U. s. Treasury-for the tax stamps
for Chesterfields. The campaign
shows on yearly basis, just what
$l04 100000 means in terms of ships.
planes, tanks, guns and all the
things it takes to equip our fighting
forces for the gigantic task ahead.
For example, in the first adver-
tisement in the new series, which
will appear shortly, Chesterfield
shows that the revenue tax paid by
them on a years output could buy
1900 two-motored bombers or 1,485
medium heavy tanks or 346,666 mill
tary parachutes.
To fully appreciate the signi-
ficance of these figures it should be
noted that the cost of parachute
is calculated at $500, a medium
heavy tank at $4,000 and a two
motored bomber at 100000.
Subsequent ads will give an in
teresting cross section of the all
out effort. They will pay tribute to
the men in the service, to men and
women in defense and to workers
in shipyard and factory. They will
give interesting side-lights on AM
erica at war, showing for instance,
what a wonderful job our stars of
stage and screen are doing to sell
defense bonds and stamps, to enter
tain the men in uniform and in
keeping them well supplied with
cigarettes. M
This Chesterfield campaign gives
an added significance to the blue
revenue stamp you find on every
pack of 20 cigarettes you buy Each
one of these stamps means that 6ia
cents has been paid to the U. S.
Treasury by the manufacturer. The
tax is collected at the source before
the cigarettes leave the factory.
Chesterfield pays the U. S. Govern
ment with a certified check every
day. AS Chesterfield says in its adj
vertising, There's satisfaction in
knowing that the 61s cents tax you
pay on every pack of twenty cigar
cites is doing its bit for Uncle Sam"
The revenue tax collected from
cigarettes and other tobacco prod
ucts is the second largest source of
excise revenue to the U. s. Govern
ment. In 1941 it was larger by 500
100000 than in 1910. Most of this
increase is accounted for by the
growing popularity of the cigarette
with men and women everywhere.
In war times, cigarette is one of
the few things a soldier can enjoy
where pleasure and luxuries are
rare. While on the home front, it
gives pleasure and relaxation to
defense workers, to men and women
in shop and factory and in every
field. A ss

because of the increased trucking
of materials, is merely to enlarge
the picture almost beyond compre-
hension.
Passenger car production has
practically ceased; truck production
for civilian purposes may stop in
March or April; civilian bus pro-
duction is well below normal in
spite of the huge orders backed
up for months: the rubber situa-
ton is well known, and the threat
of a parts shortage may become a
reality at any moment.
The situation isn't hopeless. What
is worrying government and trans
portation company officials is that
the public is taking it with such
complacency and that the response
to pleas for conservation have been
almost nil.

ENLISTMENTS:
Halted by FDR

In a move designed to tighten
control over the manpower situation,
President Roosevelt suspended en-
istments in the army and navy,
transferred selective service to the
War Manpower commission and
authorized priorities over civilian
employment.
For the first time in the nations
history, physically qualified men are
forbidden to enlist, and for the first
time in history the navy and marine
corps will take others than volun-
teers.
Meanwhile the war department or
dered suspension of indictment for
all men 38 years of age and older.
Arrangements were made to give
honorable discharges to certain men
in the upper age brackets who are
already in service.
The presidential order expanded
the powers of Chairman Paul v
McNutt of the War Manpower com
mission so that he will have the
power to determine not only who
goes into the armed services bu
what civilian jobs the stay-at-home:
can take. The office of director O
