JAPS PERSISTENT:
In South Pacific

The South Pacific had returned
dramatically to the fore when the
news was disclosed that the Japa-
nese had marshaled great forces in
their island bases north of Austria
liza.
The approach of a powerful Japa-
nese convoy of IA vessels toward
New Guinea under the protection of
foggy weather. had lent weight to a
previous warning by Gen. Douglas
Macarthur that the enemy had been
concentrating huge quantities of
planes. shipping and men in their
far-1ung island strongholds ringing
Australia on the north.
Allied warplanes were on the alert
and in the decisive action that fol-
lowed, they sank or damaged four Of
the enemy ships and scattered the
rest of the convoy over a wide area.
Among the Jap casualties were one
10, 900 ton transport left sinking. an
other transport split asunder. two
other vessels damaged and escort
ing warships hit.
This latest Jap offensive bid was
apparently aimed to reinforce en-
envy forces in the Lac area of New
Guinea.

ANTI-JAP OFFENSIVE
Prospects Are BRIGHT

From both sides Of the Pacific
came indications that more effective
American offensive action against
the Japs was drawing carer.
In China Brig. Gen. Claire L.
Chennault declared that the pros
poets ARE definitely brighter" for
carrying the var to Japan. adding
that the Allies can defeat the Nip.
ponese in a comparatively short
time when they turn their whole eff.
fort into the Pacific, and there is
an outside chance the job can be
finished this year"
Emphasizing the possibility Of
eliminating Japan this year, the
blunt-spoken Chennault added: Il
think there are some men in high
position who already realize this"
In Washington, Adm. Chester W.
Nimitz, commander Of the Pacific
fleet. said the navy was ready to
start a drive toward the industrial
heart of Japan.

PA~Y-AS-YOU-CO PLAN:
Would Withhold 2OCo

The new pay-as-you-go tax pro-
gram was not the Ruml plan nor
the proposal advanced by the treas
ury department. Somewhere be-
tween both, the new congressional
plan would withhold 20 per cent of
taxable income from the pay en-
velopes of the nations 81. DOC, 900
wage and salary beginning
July l.
Sponsored by Chairman Cooper of
the house ways and means commit
tees subcommittee on pay-as-you-go
taxation. the plan would provide for
weekly. semi-monthly or monthly
deductions from income which
would be accumulated and applied
to actual taxes computed at the
years end.
The proposed withholding levy
would not change any persons tax
obligations for 1912. l943 or any year.
1t merely sets up a system for de-
auctions from wages and salaries
for accumulation against actual
taxes to be computed at the end of
the year. Taxpayers who paid their
first installments March Is would be
expected to pay their second INSTALL
ment as usual June Is. Then in
July, the Withholding provision would
be undertaken.

SOME OF THE BENEFITS

Very tangible benefit will be an aver
age reduction of annual debt retirement
assessments of some 1000 in taxes,
it is indicated. That represents consider
ably more than 10 per cent saving in this
one item alone, according to the directors.
The overall, longterm debt picture will
be benefited at least by similar ten
per cent savings according to Indications
as the District calculates that at present,
the total cost of amortizing the debt will
consume in principle and interest some
S27, ,671 900. whereas under the proposed
new refunding this at least will be cut
to approximately s24, 100000.
Actually, it is possible to even reduce
this latter amount, inasmuch as the pro-
posed ceiling terms" would provide for
a more liberal and elastic sinking fund
arrangement than currently applies. At
present, purchases of bonds on the open
market is prescribed in four categorles
and such purchases must be confined
to such groups whether or not there IS
a good market price reduction available.
Under the new plan such cut-prlce re
tirements could be accomplished only if
and when good reductions are obtain
able.
The proposed maximum interest rate
is exceedingly low, and has been placed
within | per cent range of the federal
bond rates of up to 2 2 per cent. That
a financing house can expect to market
the securities of this community at rate
so close to rates applying to Uncle Sam
bespeaks a growing confidence of finan-
cial markets in this area and national ac-
ceptance of this district as just about
tops"

observers believed today that Presi-

Churchill, in their Washington con-
ference, will Try to find solutions to
the difficult Polish and French
problems in addition to determining

Both questions have assumed in

Great Britain and Russia st q

bending their major efforts TO

The French problem was regarded
here as especially urgent because
many months of effort by all cOun-

achieve unity between Gen. Henri
H Giraud and Gen. Charles De

With the Allied nations eXerting

release of France from the Nazi
conqueror, it is recognized in both
American and British quarters that
a solution must be found in order
to avert major difficulties once the
Allies land on Europe.

There is no time there for an intensive

LIDS PLAN FOR A
SECOND REFUNDING

No local development of recent years
is of such interest and Importance to the
people of Imperial Valley as the plan
already underway to move toward sec
ond refunding Of the Imperial Irrigation
District bonded Indebtedness.
As the necessary legal steps are being
taken, the plan in its various ramifica-
tions begins to unfold and every taxpayer
whether rural or urban will want to un
derstand the potentials involved in the
possible deal.
Tuesday, the district directors went on
record as officially petitioning the state
securities commission for permission to
proceed on the plan. If that is granted
as is virtually a foregone conclusion,
then the people of the valley will be call
ed upon to give official sanction. A SIM
pie majority of voters will pave the way
for the new program.
The plan, devoid of its legal wording
is this:
The District will be empowered by the
directors, the securities commission and
the people, to accept bids from the finan-
cial markets of the country and award
the sale of new bonds to the lowest bid
der, IF such new bonds can be sold on
a basis of not more than lI2 per cent
interest.
That level Of l 2 per cent interest is
the ceiling price as it were. If there is
no bid providing for such low interest,
then the directors will not proceed with
a plan, but if there is such bid at such
q level, it can be accepted.
There is assurance that such bid will
be forthcoming so voters can feel conf
dent of the benefits accruing from such
a low-level refunding plan, and there is
q fi,r fbor oh bat n
may be Forthcoming when bids are open
ed
Assuming, however, that this is the
best basis obtainable for refunding, I'M
perial Irrigation District taxpayers will
receive very important list of benefits,
which will mean a lot to every phase of
district life.
