ORGANIZATION
OF PEOPLES
LOBBY PLANNED

NEW YORK.-(FP)-O Organization
of peoples lobby to combat big bust
ness Hobbies in Washington will be
studied by the Natl. Lawyers Guild
as result of a resolution adopted at
the guilds conference on taxation and
initiation September rs, attended by
$50 delegates of AFL and CLIO unions
and civic groups.
The conference voted for adoption
lof 7-point tax program based on
ability to pay and calling for adequate
taxation on excess profits.
Steep excess profits taxes were ad-
vocated by Randolph E. Paul, general
counsel for the U. S. Treasury, who
told the conference: Labor will not
easily be dissuaded from demanding
wage increases, or agriculture from
demanding increases in farm prices,
SO long as war profiteering is per-
mitted."
UNFOLDING labor's stand against the
sales tax, he said. "The Treasury has
been, and is, opposed to a sales tax,
not only because it is a poor instru-
ment of initiation control but, equally
important, because it fails to differen-
tate among persons according to
their tax paying abilities"

j day is clear and irrefutable proof that
Russia was again right last spring
when she said that with the proper
strategies applied Hitler could be
crushed this year. Russia is com
pletely and gloriously fulfilling her
part of that necessary strategy. II
we, together with England, had car.
ried through our part in a second
| front action TO THE EXTENT OF
OUR ABILITY we would now have
Hitler in that nut-cracker crush that
would spell his infamous defeat in
this year of World War 1912.
All policies and strategies necessary
for short war and decisive victory
are policies and strategies based OF
united front actions, on unified
command of the four great allied ma
tions and upon common detectives.
This in turn demands an attitude of
absolute equality among the allies and
an absolutely democratic attitude and
policy toward all colonial and other
oppressed peoples in order to enlist
them and their fighting power as re-
serves for the allied cause and against
the fascist axis.
If we fail to pursue these strategies
and these policies a long war is in
evitable and final victory uncertain.
In fact, only to the extent that we
finally accept these democratic prin-
ciples in the course of pursuing even
long war will we finally achieve
victory at all. If we prosecute the
war on the disunited basis of seeking
selfish nationalist and imperialist
ends we are headed toward certain
defeat for in that course we will be
fighting on the side of the axis.
To sum up, a united front demo-
cratic prosecution of the war means
a short war and certain victory. A
selfish war fought on disunited
basis means at best long drawn out
and costly war, and it may easily re-
suit in intolerable defeat.
This war is the PEOPLES bust
ness, and THINKING about and de-
it's detectives and how vic
tory is to be achieved is as important
and as much our obligation as produc-
ing the materials and fighting the
battles. That is one of the implica |
lions of an about war.-W. H. o.
