SECOND FRONT

Washington and London very
properly are making an intense secret
Of what was meant by the agreement
with Moscow to open up q second Euro
peon front this year. We haven't told,
and if we had, we should let Hitler and
Hirohito guess.
1t is fair to mention, however, as
q brake upon those who would rush too
fast, that for every soldier at the front
in this war 20 tons Of equipment must
be transported from source to battle
ground. That is eight times the figure
for World War |, which pressed US
hard on the shipping front.

Test your knowledge of
correct social usage by an
Swering the following ques-
tons then checking against
the authoritative answers be-

!. If you intend to go to a

stay?
2. Is it necessary TO let your
hostess know ahead of time that
you plan to visit her for few
days, if she happens to be a rela-
tive Of yours?
3. Is it a good idea to wire

next day for a good long visit

received from the relative was a
vague come and see us some
time?
4. If you are a house guest

Exact Justice often involves close
and complex questions. Colgate w.
Dorden, Jr., Governor Of Virginia, gave
implicit recognition to this fact in
granting q fifth reprieve to OdeII WAL
Ter, Negro shorecroPPer whose plight
has been rather widely pubIicized. Citi-
zens Of North or South who attempt
to pass snap judgments are not likely
to throw much light on case already
carefully studied by Virginia officials,
judicial and executive.
Yet there is natural, widespread,
and proper interest in seeing Justice
done in q situation that has been dis
cussed as presenting the question Of
fairness Of juries drawn in southern
States from the limited lists Of those
who pay poll taxes. Unfortunately this
question was not roised in the original
trial Of Walters case; hence it is diff
cult for q court TO remand it for q new
hearing on q question raised only after
appeal.
Moreover it is not admitted that
the PittsyIvonio County jury list was
confined to poII-tox payers. The trial
Judge says the commissioners were re-
Quired to choose good substantial and
intelligent citizens" Of q type who
usually pay their poll taxes as we'll as
other debts" Regions which have in
Voked "bIue ribbon" grand juries as on
aid to law enforcement may find some
impeachment in criticizing this proceed
ure
Some ground exists for arguing
that Jury which is to try O man should
include some who share his economic
background and viewpoint This is port
Of the broader question Of the pro-
Priety Of the poll tax as O requisite to
suffrage or other civic functions. In
the present case there is apparently
little evidence on which another Jury
might render O different verdict, ex-
cept as to whether Walters shooting
Of his white landlord involved sufficient
Prereditotion to constitute first-de-
gree murder.
If the verdict was overly severe
there will be opportunity for Governor
DOrden to temper it after the hearing
which will be held June % on q petit
ton for cIemency. Outsiders will wish
him wisdom in that decision and will
hope for corefuI reossessment Of the
poll tax question by Southerners gener-
oily many Of whom already believe it

froge or jury duty in q democracy

WHAT ABOUT CHINA?

The leaders and thinkers Of China
have two principal aims today, Inc
first Of course, is to beat Japan, Until
thot has been accomplished, nothing
else con motter. The second is to OBJ
toin from Great Britain and the Unit
ed Stote some guaranty that when
the war has been won, China Will be
treated as on equal.
There is nothing theoretical or o0-
stroct about this second goal. China
isn't social climbing at our expense
She is only asking that we make good
on some Of the nice things we ore soy
ina about democracy and about the
rohts Of all peoples to make their own
governmental mistakes in their own
woys.
Specifically, China wants to know
what we are going to do about eHtro-
territorioIity and exclusion.
Extroterritorioity is the n1uItIsyIIo-
bic name for that privilege, which oil
western nations have claimed and ex-
exercised, of establishing on Chinese
soil little private domains Of our own,
in which the Chinese had no more
riahts than in Tasmania.
1t is as though, in the Chinatown OF
San Francisco or New York, territories
had been set aside over which the
United States reIinquished oil control.
Chinese soldiers would guard them;
Chinese courts would function; our po-
lice could not touch criminals in those
Chinotowns.
Needless to soy, neither we nor the
British, the French or the Germans
would consider granting China such
rights. Why, then, should we expect
the Chinese to feel happy when we,
through superior military might, have
enforced such an ignominious bargain
upon China?
Exclusion is the ontithesis Of extra
territorioity. While we force China to
admit any occidental at his will, and
waive all control over him while on
selected Chinese soil, we forbid Chi
nese to enter the United States at oil
except temporarily under drastic
controI-or to become citizens under
any circumstances.
This ronkIes almost as much as
extraordinarily But the argument
here is less clean cut. There ore inn
portont economic angles. The great
difficulty springs from oriental ability
and willingness to work for O few cents
q day, to live on rice and water, and
thereby TO compete for jobs on q basis
thot no American should be expected
to consider.
With the kindiest Of feeling to-
word Chinese, and all gratitude and
admiration for the splendid fight they
ore making, there is question whether
we should make any sweeping promises
about exclusion.
But we can proclaim TO the world,
at once, thot otter we have helped
chase the Jops we shall pull out our
troops and renounce forever any claim.

The punch-drunk Woys and
Means Committee Of the
House has practically finished
its four months fight over
writing the new tax bill, and
its about time For the lost few
weeks the committee has been
arguing in circles, taking days
TO make decisions that norm-
oily take hours. The 2O-odd
members Of the committee ore
tired, and frankly confess they
have been getting on each
others nerves. They even write
letters to each other, to argue,
otter hours, on debotobIe pro-
visions.
The bill is, Of course, one Of
the biggest ever written and
that makes il O sizobIe under
taking. The committee hear
ines FIJI sore $500 Poees Of
solid type. If you we're able to
stoy awake long enough TO
read so Poees q night, it would
still toke you six weeks Just to
read the testimony Of experts
and witnesses who appeared
in long professions. And this
wordoge does not cover the ex-
ecutive sessions Of the commit
tee. Two full weeks, for in
stance, we're spent in arguing
about the corporate income tax
provisions.
As sent TO the floor Of the
House for debate and Possoee
early in July, it will be q poll
ticoI tax bill, for this is an
election year. The indicated
total revenue to be derived is

That may be changed by Sem
ote action, but the House COM
mjttee has given in to demands
to keep it low.
The principal political as
pect Of the House bill is the
absence Of q federal soIes tax.
Labor and q lot Of other CON-
sumner pressure groups didn't
want one and the Treasury and
the White House backed that
stand. But some Of the COM
nIttee members predict q fed
eroI soIes tax will be in the bill
written next year, and no fool
ing. Agitation for q general
manufacturers federal sales
tax has been brewing for SO
long that, once the election is
out Of the rood, it stands the
best chance it ever has had
for Possoge next year, OIL
though it was licked in 1917,

EXCISE TAXES

In place Of the soIes tox
there will be new excise taxes,
the good old familiar nuisance
taxes that crop up in every war
emergency. Things like taxes
on checks and maybe taxes on
soft drinks. These new taxes
ore hard and often costly to
collect. There is no experience
on collecting the proposed tax
on freight and only the exper-
fence with social security de-
ductions to tell how the fancy
new salary Withholding tax will
function.
From the Treasury point Of
view, however, these difficult
ties ore os nothing when COM
pared with the difficulties Of
putting over q general manu.
focturers' soIes tax. This man.
ufocturers' sales tax isn't to be
confused with the retail soIes
tax levied by over 80 stotes,
giving them q principal source
Of income, easily collected ond
relatively painless to the tox-
poyer. The manufacturers
sales tax is something else
