Buck Privaies May Have to Pay
Income Tax if They Get a Raise

WASHINGTON - Secretary OF
the Treasury Henry Morgenthau.
jr.. said Thursday that the treas
ury Ia studying a. proposal for a
small tax on everyone who files
IN income tax return. regardless
Of the amount OF the income.
The proposal. suggested by
Chairman Walter y. George,
D., Ga. Of the senate finance
committee. would consist Of m
examination tar 20 pay for the
coat Of examining all returns.
Morgenthau said the treasury is
also considering action to prevent
evasion Of corporation taxes
through sudden and excessive sal
airy raises for corporation officials
and employees
The new personal exemptions
voted by the house ways and
means committee are so low that
many housemaids and psrt-time
workers would have to file re-
turns next year.
Even buck privates In the
army III the pending pay

yoted-weuld have 10 pay m
income tax.
The committee voted. II to Z.
late Wednesday to reduce personal
exemptions from $500 to $1,000
for married persons and $3.50 TO
$500 for single persons. That
reaches down TO single persons
who earn only 1892 a week and
to married persons whose weekly
wage is only S23.os.
Actually. people earning that
little would not have Ia pay
taxes because of other deduc-
lions allowabie--~ontrib
other taxes and the 10 per cent
earned income reduction.
But a soldier under the pending
pay schedule would get $500 q
year. II he were single and had
no allowable deductions TO make
other than the 10 per cent earned
income deduction. he would have 9
taxable income of $40. On this
years rates which probably will
be hiked next year-this hypothet.
zeal soldier would pay 81 incom,

The committee's reduction al
exemptions Was a blow to the
advocates of u general sales tax
although they said they would
continue their campaign.

 Ambassador Grew wao undoubtedly is one oI che best-iuformed men in the Japanese character. has told us from the beginning that in order to finally defeat them We must destroy their military power in their own homeland The ordinary observer who has followed the history Of the war from December 2 last until the present momeRt is forced to the same conclusion. Of course, strategy. or no strategy. we were bound to use all force possiD1e to keep the Japanese out of Australia. The Aus tralians themselves called to us for help.

Even in the Andreanofs our present es-| tablishment there is within 2400. miles of Tokyo.
 The late General William Nit. chell in judgment as to the strate-. gic importance of Alaska. as in so many other things, was right.

 adiacept areas of Alaska. The body of the Resolution, emitting the pre-. amble. is as follows;
 Resolved. That me Speaker be, and is hereby. authorized and dir. eefed 10 appoint a special commit lee of not to exceed nine Members of the House of Representatives to, visit and inspect the highway and the adjacent areas Of Alaska, to make such investigation of the. highway and of it's usefulness, both present and prospective, to the war effort and with relation to tneI postwar development of Alaska, as the committee may think proper, and to make report thereon to theI House of Representative at theI earliest practicable date, emorac-I ing recommendations concerning any development or extension of the highway which the committee may think desirable
 The good accomplished for Alas ka by the visit of the recent Sena- torial Committee was so material, and the position of Alaska with rel spect to our world wide military operation and to national postwar economy are so great that on oct ober 29 I made some extended com- ment in the House concerning the Resolution, the highway and as-
 
 Der of members present in the House, owing to the imminence or reelection was not large, those who were present expressed keen interest. In fact, everybody now adays is anxious to learn about AL aska and everything concerning 1t.
 In speaking to the House on this occasion I particularly endeaVored to impress upon the members the desirability of continuing the high- way to Bering Sea or Boring Strait, and also the construction of another road to the lower Kuskokwim as well as connection of the present highway with Prince George. The following is quoted from the speech:
 This House should have a first hand knowledge of the road and its surrounding conditions and all the manifold things. economic and mill itary, which are connected with it through an inquiry made by it's own committee and personal observation by that committee on the ground. believe that the committee will be impressed with the strong and im- mediate desirability of continuing the road on westerly to Boring Sea or Bering Strait and thus afford a supply line for any forces which we may have or may see fit to put in that region. and also to facilitate the delivery to the Russians of whatever aid, lend-lease or other wise that we may determine to give them. The committee will also un- doubtedly consider the proposal to drive another extension of the road from Fairbanks to Bethel or some other point in the lower Kuskokwim Valley and thus provide a safe line over which can be delivered supplies needed for any purpose, military or civilian, in the southwestern part of Alaska and thus by comparative ly short sea journey to the Aleu- tians. The committee will also doubtless wish to secure all avail proposed highway route from Prince George northwesterIy to White horss which was unanimously and
