Red Army Now In Pursuit Of Fleeing Germans
pay-As-You-Go Plan
OF Canada May Help
U.s.. Income Tax Case

WASHINGTON. March 4 = The
Canadian plan to forego so per-
cent of the 1912 taxes earned from
personal income, is viewed as a
possible pay-as-you-go compromise
in the United States by some lead
ing opponents of the Ruml plan
to abate all of one years taxes.
Joining with the Congressional
Tax Staff, it has been requested
that ottawa furnish Washington
with more details of its plan, Chair
man Doughton of the House Ways
and Means Committee said.
Canada's action on similar sug-
gestion he had already made, would
break the deadlock on the ques-
ton of how much taxes should be
abated, in an easy transition to
the -as-you-go plan.
However, Rep. Carlson, author of
legislation embracing the Ruml
plan to bypass a full tax year, said
that he could accept no plan that
required collection of more than
one years taxes within one year,
in the swap-over to current COL
lection.

Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
(Major Robert s. Allen on active duty)


WASHINGTON Gradually more
details Of the State Departments
policy of cooperating with Vichy
appeasers is leaking out, and I'M
fortunately it does make good
reading.
Latest untold chapter is how the
big bankers in Paris knew in ad-
vance all about the American land
ing in North Africa and trans
ferred their funds there to the
tune of rs billion francs or $780,
100000. Then, after sneaking this
sum out of France, the French
bankers, with the aid of their
friend, U. S. Minister Robert Muir
ply, brought pressure to raise the
exchange rate on the franc.
Finally they succeeded. This SIM
pie transaction increased the hold
ings of the State Department S
banking friends to 525,0OO,0O0.
The story seems almost unbeliev-
able, but here are the sordid de-
tails.
Ever since the fall of France,
Germany has been taking over val
liable French property from the
Jews, labor unions, and refugees
who had fled from occupied coun-
tries In doing this, the Germans
obviously were preparing for a
long-term. throttle hold on France,
so they went about it very care
fully.
Apparently they wanted to avoid
litigation in French courts after
the war SO they arranged these
deals through certain French banks.
The Jewish, labor union and refu-
gee property was ordered taken
over and given to the banks Then
the Germans bought the property
from the banks, paying in francs.
However, the francs were taken
out of the Occupation Francs"
which the Bank of France paid to
Germany every day, for the cost of
occupation; so actually these deals
did not cost the Nazis anything.
HUGE FRENCH PROFITS
The French bankers were per-
mitted to keep the purchase price
OF the property, so they amassed
huge profits. and it was these
profits which were transferred to
North Africa before the American
landing.
The banks doing business with
the Germans we're: the Banque de
Paris ct de Pay Bias, the Banque

Refusal of children to eat Of
ten distresses parents, who by
becoming upset may further
complicate a somewhat touchy
situation. Wise parents, when
faced with this problem, will
first check on organic or psychic
disturbances which may be the
cause OF children's loss of appe-
tite.
Normal, healthy children, left
10 their own devices, get hungry
at regular intervals, and eat.
Furthermore, they tend to eat
an adequate diet, without nutri-
tionsl deficiencies or gastro-in-
testinsi disturbances. From time
10 time, however, children have
a way OF losing appetite and re-
fusing food.
There are actual functional
and organic reasons why chill
dren do not eat, and these should
be checked first The acute in
fectious diseases of childhood
produce a sharp decrease in APP
petite, though temporary one.
Chronic disorders like tonsilli-
tbs, adenoiditis. otitis media, 81
nusitis, tuberculosis and syphilis

of these disturbances, normal

the psychic disturbances that be-
set most children today.
Psychic causes of loss of APP

may cite, 10 prove the point,
such things as faulty training
in proper habits of eating, like
too great reliance on large guam

the preoccupation of parents
with other interests at mealtime.
Worry, anxiety, hastily prepar-
