SlCKENING RECORD

Local newspapers in two important
defense centers carried accounts a short
time ago of two disasterous fires. They
were nothing unusual. Similar occur.
rences are takin place all over the cOun-
try. In one of these fires, flames swept
through a planning mill and lumber yard
doing an estimated S150,000 damage In
the other fire, an entire block in con-
gested district was wiped out, leaving
200 persons homeless. Damage was
estimated at 100000. At the end of this
year, the total fire bill for the nation
will amount to three or four hundred
million dollars-a tremendous sum even
in these days of billions.
Who is to blame for this tragic and
disastrous fire loss? No probing in the
ashes of ruined buildings is necessary to
find the answer, because everyone is to
blame We are a careless nation Any
fire prevention authority is familiar with
the sckening record, and can establish
proof of our national carelessness with
recital of needless destruction that makes
a joke of our touted war conservation
efforts. The truth is that there can be
no real conservation until destruction of
property by fire is effectively curbed.
Also, as any fire prevention authority
will testify, there can be no curbing of
the fire loss in this country until the in
dividual citizens learn to take the simple
precautions which are necessary to pre-
vent it.
Many agencies are striving to make
Americans fire conscious. Fire depart
ments, city, state and federal officials,
together with private organizations, are
constantly pounding home the lessons
of fire prevention. If these lessons were
but received in the spirit that they are

We can not be certain OF the ROAD
which will be followed, but we can
be sure of the destination at which
most of Italy will arrive very soon.
By her own decision or by force OF
arms she will be out of the war, a
conquered duchy, under Anglo-Am-
erican government,
It is inconceivable at first thought
that Hitler should permit Italy to
drop out completely, thereby giving
us air fields on Une Relch's border
and, at the same time, forcing the
Nazis to stretch their manpoWer to
take over the policing of the Bal
kans.
But even if he keeps Italy lin the
war" the line of effective Axis de-
fense probably will be drawn on or
near the Pc, which means that 8O,-
600 square miles of italian territory

THERE IS A REAL PINCH
WatSOnUille ReQister

WdfSOnUitte Register
Attorney General Kenny's concern over
Washington reports to cut off all war
contracts from California because of
"hysterical agitation" here may be we'll
founded. He has just returned form the
national capital. While there he doubt
less heard enough to justify his fears.
1t is true many protests have reached
Washington about food, housing and
transportation shortages in California,
but there have been grounds for all these
complaints and an understandable cause
for their occurrence.
Perhaps no part of the country has
had such a sudden and enormous increase
in industrial population as this state has
experienced due to the prodigious eXpan-
sion Of airplane manufacture and ship
building. 1t upset all calculations of
rationed food quotas. Housing simply
cannot be built rapidly enough to keep
up with it. New transportation facili-
ties, stymied by war priorities on mater
ials, could not be provided at ALL
lnasmuch as national security depend
ed upon raising production in airplane
and ship plants to maximum and keeping
it there, these shortages became not
merely local, but national problems be-
cause they threatened to keep production
down. Hence the appeals to Washington
for assistance.
Nevertheless, California war industries
in spite of the handicaps of these short
ages, have turned in Notwithstanding
performances 1t is only because they
and the people of California are anxious
to do an even better job that Washington
has been so vigorously urged to help
overcome the handicaps. Should state
be penalized for that?
After all, winning the war is the all
important objective. And we're doing
a healthy part of it in California.

END MOB TAX RULE

Millions of people subject to stringent
new income tax laws are beginning to
find out the meaning of the expression,
the power to tax is the power to des-
troy" Taxes must be paid, even If 1t
means destroying living standards and
the sacrifice of accustomed luXuries.
However, these things can be tolerated
providing the burden is shared equally
by all. Unfortunately, the tax laws are
far from equitable. For years taxes have
been proposed and levied upon no sound
er basis than a cry to soak-the-rich. This
kind of mob tax rule will wreck product
i've industry, and eventually individual
freedom, if continued in the face of dras-
tically rising taxes which will soon be
taking twenty-five per cent of the total
national income.
Some Of the worst inequalities in our
tax structure relate to corporate taxa
tion. Corporations are the instruments
by which our great war production has
been achieved and yet the tax laws are
directed with special vengeance toward
them as though they were a menace
Harold V. Bozell president of the Cen
eral Telephone Corporation, clearly des-
cribes the evil of double taxation Of cor
porations q" Under present laws one
hundred people doing business as owners
of corporation would in the end,
through taxes on the corporation itself
and through taxes on the dividends they
would receive from corporations, pay
much more in taxes than those same one
hundred people would pay doing the
same business as a partnership enter
prise c. the corporate form of business
is the only practical solution so far de-
vised in this country for handling busi
nesses of certain sizes and kinds, and
Our present methOdS of TAXING the earn
ings of that business e. plus again tax
ing the individual on the dividends re-
ceived, means that those particular
people are taxed according to a e. pun
tive formula"
The government is asking much and
the people are giving willingly. But
they should insist that they be permitted
to give equally. Where revised tax laws
are required to attain fairer distribu-
tion of the tax burden, they should be
revised without delay.

GERMANS BEGIN
TO SQUEAL
RirerSide Press

TICf Sfut JcSS
The "pity-the-p poor Germans" season
has opened in Berlin says a diplomatic
correspondent of British Information
Services, New York.
1t is possible he declares, to detect two
main streams in recent German propa-
ganda. In the first of them, Gobbels
makes a great show of facing facts. In
a recent article from his own pen, for
exapmle he said:
What we are experiencing in the field
of air war is decided test of our nerves"
-ande he went on to deal with the situa-
ton with apparent frankness, while, of
course, actually suppresSing an enorm-
Gus amount Of revelant facts which his
readers would scarcely like to have
brought to their attention.
But it is the second stream, says the
British Information Services cOmnlen-
tator, that is chiefly interesting expert
observers in London.s 1t is whine for
sympathy from the humanitarians of the
world a squeal that Germany is being
roughly treated, coupled with attempts
to get it believed that any other country
except immaculate and misunderstood
Germany, was responsible for letting
loose the horrors of war on civilization.
The Berlner LOkanzieger of August !, g,
for example, writes of the bombing of
Germany by Raj and USAAF: This is
a stab made by people without honor
against people without defense"
The Germans whined in just the same
way when they saw defeat approaching
them in 1918: and today, it is pointed
out in London, what the Germans are
facing is due to one thing only 1t is
because they supported Hitler in his ag
gressive designs against the whole world
that they are now reaping the harvest of
those designs.
Germany forced this war on mankind.
Germany must accept the grim and logi-
cal consequences of her action

G|orifying
Yourself
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

This is by way of a slight lee
ture. It's directed to women who
insist on wearing the latest styles,
whether or no they suit their fig
ure and face. Especially those who
wear every new hair-do that comes
along, even though it accentuates
their bad features.
If, for instance, you have a long,
slim face, the high pompadour will
only emphasize its leanness. You
would look UNNECESSARILY smarter
with a coiffure which gave width to
YOUR face-one like Leslie Brooks
created for her screen role in
whats Buzzin' Cousin?"

What happened next will prob
ably 20 down as a fluke in history.
The Grand Council having voted
only to remove Mussolini, but the
king, seizing this opportunity, used
his power all the way and abolish
ed the Grand Council which, much
to its surprise, found that 1t had
committed suicide, which it never
intended to do. The Grand Coun-
Gil had previously had the power to
name the successor to the throne.
BY abolishing the Grand Council,
the king got back the power to
name his own successor, a develop
ment to be watched with interest.
JEWS REGAIN CITIZENSHIP
The Fascist OVRA, or secret
police, has been dissolved. The
Fascist black shirt militia has been
incorporated into the italian army
and all party secretaries in every
town have had to report for mill
tary service. The army is policing
the country All anti-Semitic laws
have been repealed. These laws
had been obviously promulgated at
German insistence. They were
never popular because italy had
only some 10000 Jews, who now
have their citizenship restored.
Three Fascist newspapers were sus-,
pended. In others, Fascist editors
were removed and replaced by
former editors.
There is no evidence that the Ger
man liaison officers, who sat in
every italian government office of
Importance and practically ran the
country have been kicked out. Bad
oglio may not be dominated by Ger
many, but he is certainly dominated
by fear of Germany, and as long as
the German army is in Italy and
! the American, British and Canadian
armies are in Sicily, it doesn't take
much savvy for anyone to figure
out what he would do if in Bad
oglio'S shoes at this moment. ..
Italy's best perhaps SO

indication that the Germans win
let them go home. just before Mus
solini was bounced, all men of from
Il to SO were called up for military
service. That would indicate Italv

Whether Muss solini stayed
throughout this session is not clear.
1t is known, however, that Mus
solini did not go to the king to Of
fer his resignation as he had been
ordered to do by the Grand Council.
Instead, he went to distribute prizes
at harvest festival.
Next day, Grandi went to the
king to inform him Of the Grand
Councils action. When the king
learned what had happened, he
summoned MusSolini The duce tried
TO dismiss the action of the council
as having no meaning and being of

Mussolini left the palace accom-

News coming out of italy in the
last couple weeks has been a good
bit like the news that used to ap-
pear back III the days of sail, a GEN.
tury or more ago. when a traveller
would arrive at some port and relay
by word of mouth the latest in
telligenceS." Today, it is travellers
arriving in Berne of Madrid or Is
tanbul who bring out the latest
news of what is actually going on
inside OF Italy, and that it not much
more reliable, perhaps, than the
Axis radio from Rome or Berlin
which obviously put out only what
they want the outside world to
know.
Adding together all the loose bits
of information from all sources,
checking off those that don't jibe
or are obviously untrue, it is now
possible, however, to make a CO.
herent guess as to what kind of
government Italy has at the mo-

ably gone through tremendous
bloodlesS revolution. This is All ef-

its progress to date:
There are still plenty of gaps in
the story. Going back to the be-
ginning, Mussolini called the Grand
Council together on Saturday, July
"a, to make his report of his con-
ference with Hitler. After making
the report, however, it appears that
Mussolini took no part in further
debate, which went on over his head
between two factions. That led by
Count Dino Grandi prevailed and
called for the resignation of Muts-
solini.

unquestionably to have been desir-
able, whether thereafter We intend
ed going into Italy, the Balkans,
the Rhone valley, or wherever. May
be we were too good for our own
good. Our invasion proved to be
such an astounding success that
now we have Italy whether or not
we want her if not in the hand, at
least rotten and quivering ready to
drop.
But the acquisition of the penin-
