The War and Taxes

The Treasury Department tells us
that about one-third of the cost of
World War I was carried by taxa

should reverse the percentage and
raise tWo-thirds of the necessary
money out OF taxes. So far, the pat

Taxes help pay for the war. We
know, but there is another impor-
tant relationship between war and
taxes. Jacob Viner, in an article
Imitation: Menace or Bogey?" pub
lished in Yale Review Summer

have 25 billions of additional spend
ing power in l943 as compared To
1912. That means either initiation
or taxation. Planning for Total

an excellent guidebook on wal

Ny Life in China
Bu Hdlett Abend.

By Hallett Abend. (Harcourt,
Brdcej
From 1926 to 194l Hallett Ahend
lived in China and from 1927 on he
was correspondent for the New York
Times. He tells the story of his
life during the period in the present
book.
There is little to distinguish his
method from that Of other cor
respondents who have written pro-
fessional memoirs. He alternates
between accounts of world news as
it happened before him and of per-
sonal adventures or reactions. The
former is no longer news and even
much of the latter is familiar to
newspaper readers, for it deals to a
great extent with Mr.. Abend's trou-
bles with Chinese and japanese
officials who at various times tried
to get him fired or expelled, and
has already made headlines.
The book will probably have much
more value to future students of our
period than it does to those living
in it. 1t has frequently a dashed
off manner, though it is necessary
to add, of course. that the hand
which did the daShing is a highly
competent one.

plainly. the breeding patterns of

English squire, in his old age, mar
ries young gypsy girl. The son of
the marriage is affectionately cared

extraordinary choice. He takes a

Dr0rine and Wafer CoIors
BY Mahonri Young.
Mahonri Young, whose water COL
orS, etchlngs and single work in
sculpture are now on view in one of
the print rooms at the Phillips Gal
lery, is, as will be quickly seen. a
man OF several and diverse talents,
Born in Salt Lake City in 1877 the
direct descendant of Brigham Young
the Mormon leader, he studied first
at the Art Students League in New
YORK, then at Julian's and the Cola
rossl Academy in Paris. In 1923 he
was elected a national academician;
IN l939-40 he was artist in residence
at the American Academy in Rome
among many awards received was
the gold medal for sculpture in the
international Olympic Exhibition.
Los Angeles, in 1882.
AS painter in oils and a sculptor,
particularly of athletic subjects
wrestling matches and the like, Mr..
Young is we'll and widely known, and
as an etcher he has high rank. but
the drawings and water colors now
on view show him in quite a new
character. Two sides of his life, as
citizen and artist are illustrated-
one by pictures Of life in the West
on the plains and the other of life
IN Paris before wars three horsemen
rode through this city's streets.
Both are competent and charming
-varacious and intensely personal.
The water colors are in line and
wash the drawings mostly in crav-
on. The contrast is engaging. In
the Western scenes is a feeling of
oigness; in those of Paris streets and
safes a scintillating brightness in
herently Partisan. And. with all
there is first and last evidence of
good drawing-the swift. knowing

by contemporary British artists.
The report from Paris does not
concern itself with sales. but with
exhibitions - those commonly held
annually in peacetime Again war
and subjugation seem not to have
stemmed the stream In the annual
exhibition held by the Societe Ma
tionale Independence. $500 works
were exhibited and in the Salon
d'Hiver there 1000 were shown.
These were works, presumably by
French artists, not heretofore dis
played Also they were additional
to those in the annual displays held
as usual by the Artistes Francais
and the Nationale des Beaux Artes.
Knowing the privations suffered
by all those within the war zones.
such evidence that life goes on and
art is still so very much alive renews
confidence in and hope for the fu-
ture.

American Guerrilla

By Capt. Douglas M. Smith and
Cecil CarneS. (BObbS- Merrill. }
Capt. Douglas M. Smith is a vet
eran of World War I who rejoined
his old outfit, the French Foreign
Legion, in 1941 with what he believes
was a war-Winning idea. That was
the idea of guerrilla fighting behind
the German lines. not just by patri-
'otic civilians, however, but by pro-
fessional guerrillas.
Capt. Smith was sent to join the
Free French in Syria and there
tried to enlist the Druses to form
the kind of unit which he had In
mind. But the higher-ups in the
Legion disapproved his plan, and
he transferred to the British Spe-
cial Air Service in Egypt. The
SAS was doing the kind of thing he
wanted to do, and he remained with
it, took its strenuous training and
engaged IN some OF its exploits. The
great part OF his book is given over
to describing the ideal guerrilla
fighting which the SAS men car
ried on-the secret penetration OF
the enemy's lines, the quick eco
nomical blow, the well-planned es-
cape in the midst OF the confusion.
The work has been published,
Capt. Smith says. in the hope OF
arousing American opinion to the
value of guerrilla tactics. A great
deal of it is irrelevant, however,
and does no more than describe the
authors travels from place to place.

A little pamphlet on the worlds
faVorlte hobby, picked up at a sec
ond-nand bookshop in Toronto. con-
talns the following affirmation by
Maj. Edward B. Evans. an officer in
the British Royal Artillery. so years
ago: AT the outset it is as
well to remind those about TO collect
that there is no royal road to phil
ately, any more than there is TO
any other study or amusement. such
as Latin, Greek, mathematics. crick-
ct, golf or whist. Without going into
the VeXed question of whether phi
lately is or is not a science, we NAV
fairly claim that it is an intellectual
amusement, training the powers of
, observation. inducing habits of neat
ness and accuracy, and forming
pleasant occupation for days and
hours that have to be spent indoors.
incidentally, it leads to some ele-
mentary knowledge of geography
the collector is seldom at a loss as
to the quarter of the globe in which
! a small stampiSsuing country or
colony is situated or as to the mother
country of the most distant posses
sion Of European nations. And it
not lnfrequently involves the study
OF methods Of engraving and print
ing, Of the manufacture of paper
and Of other branches OF general
knowledge, which may or may not
be directly useful, but must IN anv
case tend to open the mind and
widen the Ideas Of the learner. And
all this insensibly inculcates habits
OF study which are in themselves
of immense value"

You will notice on every fan. pic

| Practically everybody uses an
engraved stamp every day for all
sorts of purposes. The business of
stamp-engraving is quite an indus
try, there being an engraver's shop
IN almost every street. When a

his stamp: when money is paid to
any government office the payer has
to hand in the sum with paner
stamped with his jitsuin; when an
heir succeeds to family estate
it IS the custom for him to provide
himself with new stamp. When
