THE SALES TAX

(Oroville Mercury-Register)
The way some congressman regard the
sales tax one might think they'd rather
bankrupt the country than compel those
least able to pay to ante up regularly
in support of it.
These politicians place so much en-
phaSis on their views that the sales tax
comes to look like a vicious ogre snap
ping at the vitals of the common people
One should remember that these same
congressman are about to stand for re-
election.
AS matter of fact, the sales tax is
right in line with the Presidents an
nounced policy to tax heavily enough so
that the country won't go on spending
spree that would result in initiation. In
fact, it is in line but hardly drastic
enough to achieve the desired result.
Establish a sales tax that, like the one
in California, would avoid food, and it
would not work hardship. There is
hardly buyer who could not do without
enough each day without noticing it to
pay the sales tax on what he was forced
to buy. We haven't yet got down to the
point where we are depriving ourselves
of much.
On the other hand, the sales tax would
bring in a great flood of taxes, just as
it has in California, and it might result
in saving our country from most serious
consequences.

FOG OVER THE
AlEUTlANS

(Chrlstlan Science Monitor)
1he news that American submarines
torpedoed five japanese destroyers in
two days in the Aleutians is welcome.
But it does not dispel the haze of con-
fusing information which has been hung
over the fog-bound islands By saying
first that the japanese hadn't landed III
the Aleutians and then that it didn't
matter, Washington built up doubts
which later reports have not dissolved
In itself the torpedoing of five destroy
ers leaves very favorable impression.
But the fact that destroyerS were so plen
tl1ul IN those waters means that here were
more than one or two troop transports to
be guarded Tokyo evidently intended to
set up something more than listening
posts at Attu and KiSka. There is dis
quleting evidence that the japanese have
dug IN with forces which will not be dis
lodged by submarines That they may
not be able to make the islands base
for attacking Alaska is not wholly reas-
suring. For from the Aleutians they can
cut off American aid to Kamchatka-at
a time when military experts are daily
expecting japanese attack on Russia.
Basically the most disturbing feature
of the Aleutians picture is the apparent
casualness with which American official
dom regards it. Eyewitness stories about
the surprise among civilians when Dutch
Harbor was bombed raise a question as
to how closely the Pearl Harbor situation
was repeated. If there were radiolocat-
ors at Dutch Harbor everybody should
have known an hour before that planes
were coming. If anti-aircraft protection
was not woefully weak, the japanese
should never have been able to return six
hours later.
The Aleutians are the shortest road
from America to Japan. They form a
vital link with Russia No variety of fog
can hide the fact that parts of them are
in enemy hands.

ASSURED HAVEN FOR
FRENCH WARSHIPS

When the war is over. Traitor Pierre
Laval of Vichy France should be treated
SO differently than Adolf Hitler and Benz
to Mussolini, except that perhaps he de
serves less humanitarian consideration
than these two.
Laval has demonstrated time and again
that his whole interests are with the AXIS.
lie has said as much. He would like
nothing better than to put France into
the war alongside Germany and Italy.
The only thing that deters him, We imag-
ine is fear of open revolt from the French
people if he tried it.
Latest proof Of Vichy's pro-German
attitude comes in rejection of President
Roosevelt's proposals to remove French
warships from Alexandria to a safe haven
in the Americas, with guarantees by both
Great Britain and the United States that
the ships would be immobiliZed until
after the war is over Vichy evidently
wants the warships to remain where they
can fall into the hands of the Germans,
if Romme succeeds in taking Alexandra.
There is not even logic on the side of
the Vichy government. The French war
ships are in British naval base, yet they
have not been seized nor used by the
British, in spite of a desperate need for
ships Yet there is no doubt that, if Ger
many gained control of the harbor, the
Germans would both seize and use the
French warships for themselves.
Vichy seemingly wants the ships left
where they can be Of use to the Germans,
if the Germans can overcome British
resistance in that particular area. Since
that is true, there seems to us to be no
violation of honor indicated in proposal
that the United Nations should immed-
lately seize and use those vessels, just
as the Germans would do if they could.
Vichy is playing the German game for
all she is worth. Everybody knows it.
Up to now, we've allowed her to play it
without interruption. The time seems to
be here to do whatever We can to interrupt
Vichy's laid and comfort" to the Nazis,
and seizure of every available Vlchy
French warship, including the aircraft
carrier Bearne in the Caribbean, would
be one long step in that direction.
Vichy is moral ally of Germany. She
should be treated as such.

been saying for months
Faced with the distinct possibility
OF a shortage SO critical that even
the bareSt of military and essen
tial civilian needs may not be met
next year and in 1914, why should
civilians be permitted to wear out
existing tires in nom essential use?
Nationwide rationing of gasoline
has been advocated to save rubber.
If nothing more courageous can
be done, that would help.
But those who live in the oil-rich
midwest and southwest, and on the
Pacific coast, do not like such half
measures.
If they are going to be permitted
to wear out the tires they now have
they see no reason they should not
do it in their way
If, on the other hand, Uncle
Sam needs their tires to help win
the war, they inquire why he
doesn't doesn't come clean and ask
for them. Many from the oil states
have told us they would willingly
give their tires, if that is needed,
but that they'll squaWk to high
heaven if they are permitted to
keep the tires, but are denied gaso-
line for their cars.

WE
the Women
By RUTH MHLETT

There is probably no group of
young men in America today faced
with a tougher personal problem
than young men who have wives
and one or more small children
to whom they feel an obligation bL"
who because they are young and
able bodied also feel that they
should be in this fight
Many of them know that their
wives could get good jobs if they
went into the army-Which would
take care of the financial problem.
But that would mean that the chill
dren would either have to be left
all day with a hired girl-perhaps
none too intelligent in her handl-
ing of children-or sent away to
live with grandparents, to whom
their care is almost sure to be
something of a burden.
Also, there is the ever-preSent
concer nthat if they go into the
army they might not return or
might come back unable to sup
port family, which would mean
that their wives would be left to
provide for the children.
Yet, if they are thoughtful men,
they are bound to know that Whe-
ther their children grow up in a
democratic world where they will
have a chance or whether they
have to live menaced b. injustice,
hardship and terror depends on the
outcome of this war.
Realizing that, it is hard for their
fathers to know that they are do
ing nothing much to help win the
war, spending their time as many
of them are on jobs that look
pretty unimportant and could Ell
ther go undone for the duration
or be taken over by a woman, an
older man, or one not physically
fit for military service.
No one can advise these men
what to do. Each has to make his
own decision. Neither decision, to
stay at home or volunteer for SER
vice, will seem wholly right.
All that these men can do is
choose the way that seems to them
to be the better way. Even their
wives can't help them, except by
saying, Whatever you decide is
all right with me-"

We believe the farm belt, worried
about its surplus wheat and corn,
would prove equally patriotic if
Washington officially would explain
clearly why it is more efficient
militarily to make most of our syn
theic rubber from petroleum rather
than from grain alcohol.
The synthetic rubber bottleneck
is in butadiene, one of the two
major constituents of buna type
rubber.
Butadiene is byproduct of gas
oline refining. 1t can be made at
the existing refineries. We don't
have to wait for major conStruc-
ton program, or find money for it.,
or divert steel and copper for it,
or tie up transportation facilities.
Up TO the limit of the existing
distillery capacity, we can rush into
butadiene production from grain
alcohol. This the government is
planning.

WAGE STABiLizATION

Remember, away back yonder, when
President Roosevelt delivered his famous
message on initiation curbs, and remarked
offhand that wages would have to be
stabilized, along with prices, if initiation
were to be prevented? 1t was all done
by law and order, except the part about
wages Some sort of cooperation and
understanding by the labor unions was
going to iron that out, and keep the wage
situation reasonable.
Has it?
Practically every major union in the
country has asked, or is about to ask,
for wage increases The War Labor
Board, which was supposed to be a sort
of balance wheel, has granted increases
in practically every case it has heard.
What is the basis of these increases?
Not necessity In most cases the laborers
of today are earning a lot more already
than lot of white-collar executives in
non-war industry are making.
The wage increases, present, demanded
and potential, are even now playing hob
with the country's supposed initiation
controls. It's time real control was es-
tablished.

CAPITAL TALKS
by
Peter
Edison

There's an amazing, knock down,
show down fight being waged be-
hind the scenes in Congress these
davs. Its outcome will determine for
the time being who has the most
influence IN shaping the wartime
farm policies of this country-the
u. S. Department of Agriculture or
the American Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton, most potent Cf the big farm
er organization.
The issue over which the bat
tie Is being fought is whether
the u. 5. government, through
its Commodity Credit Corpora
tion, shall be permitted to sell
some of its grain at less than
parity prices. The idea behind
wanting to seel the grain at less
than parity, which is backed by
Secretary Wickard and the De-
partment of Agriculture. is that
this surplus grain should be used
to feed poultry and livestock,
thus increasing the production
of meats, dairy and poultry pro-
duets needed in wartime not
only for U. S. troops, but for
the armies and civilian pOpu-
latiOns of the United Nations as
well. If this surplus grain has
to be sold at parity, or above,
il means that meat, dairy and
poultry prices, most of which
are already well above parity,
will go even higher.
The Department of Agriculture,
anxious to hold down the cost Of
these foods. seriously concerned over
how the big crops of grains to be
harvested this year are to be stored
on top of the surpluses already
bursting the seams of every elevator
and corn crib in the land, thinks
some of this surplus grain should
be sold below parity.
