Grew Sees Invasion

Federal Bar Association
Hears Pre-Wur Oil and
Scrop SoIes Defended

Joseph C. Grew, former AM
bassador to Japan, yeserday reiter-
ater a warning that America faces
invasion If Japan is allowed to con-
solidate her conquered territories,
and said he was worried by Ameri-
can reaction to inconclusive victories
achieved in the South Pacific.
Discussing Japan's overweening
ambition and potential military
strength, Mr. Grew emphasized I'VE
will be free from this hideous dan
ger of invasion only when japanese
might is destroyed; we must cut out
the cancer so it can never grow
again"
Addressing an overflow audience
at the Harrington Hotel, Mr.. Grew
defended our pre-war policy of SELL
Ing oil and scrap iron to Japan as
a policy of plain, common sense, not
appeasement." He added it would
have been stupid at that time for
the United States to have threat
ened Japan without force to back
1t up; we were not prepared for
tWo-ocean war with one-ocean
Navy"

his "of1-the-record' address before

Grew permitted publication of all

Discount
On Income
Tax O.K'd

WASHINGTON, March II CUP)
The House ways and means
committee today approved a dis
count plan for rewarding income
taxpayers who put themselves on
a pay-as-you-go basis by paying
double taxes this year.
II would give 8 per cent dis
count TO persons who pay their
1913 taxes in full. on an estimated
oasis, by June IS this year. A per-
son taking advantage Of this plan
still would also have TO pay of his
1912 income tax liability during
The present year.
PLUS 20 PCT. TAX
The 20 per cent withholding tax
approved by the committee earlier
this week would start July / even
~ the taxpayer chose 10 pay UP
is 1912 and 1943 liabilities in full
The Withholding tax would be
credited against 1914 taxes. Thus.
in order TO earn the 3 per cent
discount on 1943 taxes, a taxpayer
would be compelled to pay about
two and one-half years taxes in
one year. Observers doubted many
people would do this.
In 1874 and subsequent years,
the rate of discount would be
scaled from 4 per cent for tax
payers who pay currently on
March Is, to per cent for those
who pay June IS. 2 per cent for
those who pay September IS and
per cent for those paying Deem
Der Is.
SAVE 8 PER CENT
Because the plan cannot be
made effective before June Is,
1913, however. the most any tax
payer could gain this year by pay
ing his estimated current taxes
would be per cent.
The committee acted only an
hour after President Roosevelt
said that adoption of the Ruml
pay-as-you-go tax plan would mean
that the government would collect
less revenue this year than il did
last year.
The House committee has re-
iected that plan but Republicans
have decided TO make a strong
floor fight for it.
