The host of congressional in
vestigatipg committees which
have been riding off in all di-
rections TO look for bugs in the
war production effort probably
have been more confusing to the
folks back home than the war
itself. Take the one subject of
manpower. Half a dozen COM
mittees have been investigating
what's wrong with the manpow-
er situation - House commit
tees on Migration, Agriculture,
and Military Affairs, Sem
ate committees on Defense Con-
tracts, Education and Labor,
Military Affairs. They have all
heard pretty much the same wit
nesses giving the same testi-
mony, but for all the millions OF
words that have been spilled,
the manpower problem still how
ers around like death and taxes.
What has happened about in
vestigating manpower has hap
pened on every other part OF the
war production program - con-
tracts, small business, CONVEX
sion, iron and steel, price fixing
and so on. But it is notable that
every committee investigation
has in the long run come up
with one principal conclusion
that lack of central authority
has done more to slow up the
war effort and cause confusion
than any other one thing.
This great truth has at last
dawned on some of the good con-
gressmen and, great to relate, 1t
seems now that something Will
be done about it.
Evidence that this is so comes
from the fact that the Tolan
Committee on Defense Migration
in the House has joined forces
with members of the Senate

went to the diamond ace. A

ace to lead the queen Of spades,
which held. After cashing the
ace of spades, South exited with
a club. West returned his third
spade, which South ruffed. Now

trumps back. That assured South
of five trump tricks besides his

CANADA DID IT

When Canada first discovered the need to mush.
room her revenues for war purposes she did exactly
what the United Stotes is DOING Retaining all the old
taxes, she expanded their bose to bring in new tox
powers and simultaneously boosted the rotes SO as to
hit everybody harder.
This proving inadequate to pay for modern war,
the Dominion just as DOING cost about tor new
sources Of revenue and piled one tax upon others until
nobody had any slightest deo where he was.
However, Canada did not stop there Having creot-
ed topheovy edfice, the Dominion put tax orch-
tects to work to correct the most obvious faults.
At it's worst, in $40 the Canadian structure Of
direct toxes included general income tax like ours;
defense tax collected at the source, like our new
Victory Tax; q provincial income toxes, correspond
ina to those Of many Of stotes; and local income
taxes in q few municipalities.
Today Canadians have to pay only one direct tax.
It is heovy-heover than ours But there is only one
Moreover, having lacked up their tax rotes until
they really hurt the Canadians put pou|tice on the
sore spot by placing the oIncIusive tax on partial
poy-os-you-go basis. In the words Of Dominion tax
expert, I'VE have applied the Rum plan one-third OF

ETC., began withholding approximately 80 per cent OF
the due woees interest, etc. This will continue
until the END or next august men toxPoyerS VIII I've
income tax returns, and will pay any portion OF the
1912 levy which by that time has not been withheld.
This, frankly, is compromise, designed to work
toward poy-os.you-go basis without becoming in
voIved in certain political complications. Those COM
pcotions orise from the foct that Canada had de-
Tense lost yeor We not faced with those conn.,
