Washington, D. c. (NWNS)-Last
January the President told con-
gress that taxes for the fiscal year.
beginning July !. must be at least
l6 billion more than last year. He
said this was necessary TO keep IN
fation from getting out OF hand.
But congress became so involved
with putting present taxes on
pay-as-you-go basis that II has done
nothing about planning for higher
taxes.
Now that the new fiscal year Is
about to begin with no provision for
higher taxes, and with no prospect
that legislation can be put through
to provide for the collection Of new
taxes before the first of next year,
the administration will seek to in
crease the amount to be collected
in l8 months, between January.
1914. and July, l945. Thirty billion
in that period, II is figured, would
be necessary to make up for the
absence OF additional taxation for
the last six months Of this year.
Whether congress actually will
pass legislation to increase taxes
by this amount is very much doubt
ed here. The chief purpose Of ask
ing for such large new taxes. &C
cording to the President. is to close
up the ''infiationary gap"-to drair
off large part Of the extra AZ bill

cay run the country for our grand
children and their grandchildren
and we will cry out at the top nf
our voices whenever we suspect
that these children are being edu-
Gated by rattlesnakes instead OF by
healthy American minded teachers.
These things we can guard agains1
if we will keep ourselves informed
upon what goes on nationally; but
we can never be of value in decid-
ing what our nation should do in
collaboration-or otherWise-With
other nations, so long as we remain
ignorant of how human nature re-
acts to certain circumstances.
So this generation OF Americans
will be of little help to its govern
nent in deciding the vital questions
which must be answered soon and
which must affect the lives of our
children and grandchildren for per-
haps centuries to come.
Must Americans always have to
suffer this humiliation and the often
tragic results of this particular
type Of ignorance? Are we going
to allow our children to be faced
with like questions and to have no
constructive answers? We elect the
officers of our government to act
for us-not to think for u.s. But
they must do both in matters con-
cerning which We are ignorant. II
Is too late for US to ever be Of use
perhaps, but it is not too late for
our children, and it is our sacred
duty to them and to our country
to demand and to insist that the
school systems of this nation edu-
cate them thoroughly, not only in
the history Of their own country
so that they may vote knowledge
ably-but in the history Of the
world, so that they may understand
how to take their rightful place
therein and how to maintain it
In the olden days education was
kept from the masses so thai r /.
educated few could rule. The l.
Gated still rule that world today
and should.

Do the American people believe
that a postwar association OF ma
tions, dedicated to the purpose II
maintaining world peace, would be
able to accomplish that purpose;
and do they believe that this pos
sibility is promising enough to war
rant the United States taking the
risk of becoming a member?
Anyone can answer these ques-
tons, but to answer them intelll-
gently one must have some nowl-
edge of other peace treaties and Of
other associations Of nations which
were formed for the same purpose.
And there comes the "rub"-we
haven't a knowledge Of those
things. We haven't even knowl-
edge Of our own history! And still
a great many college and school
professors believe history should
not be made one of the compulsory
courses. Latin to them is far more
important! And as for geometry!
The United States of America is
our property. It is the most price
less possession in all the world;
not only because it is magnificent
and fertile piece Of real estate, but
because of its traditions; and be-
cause-most Of all-it gives US a
freedom, an independence, a
chance for a happy and contented
life such as no other nation on the
round globe can give. If we have
as much brain matter as that with
which nature endowed the ordinary
variety of farmyard duck, we viii
watch and guard this wonderful
heritage with the same jealous care
which our forefathers bestowed
upon it. We will see that no foreign
gents with longish black hair get
too far with their new tangled
PHILOSOPHERS in our schools, In our
labor unions and in our govern
ment.

tricks through which selfish people

United Allied Blow
Against laps Urged
In Speech by Chang
By the Associated Press.

CHUNGKING. Sept. 18.-General-
issimo Chang Kai-shek, making his
| first public appearance As president
of China, called today for the co-op-
| Grafton of his country and her allies
in an "all-front" offensive and de-
clared that the surrender of the
Italian feet determines JApan's
ultimate DOOM"
China's war against aggression was
effectively linked to the European
battle theater by the surrender of
the Italian Navy, he said.
THE safety of seaborne trafic
through the Mediterranean has con-
siderably shortened the Allies route
for the movement Of troops and sup
plies" he declared. Part of the
Allied naval forces can now be
shifted to the Far East. Broadly
speaking, the cApitulation Of the
italian Navy determines Japan's
DOOM"
The generalissimo opened the
fourth plenary session Of the peo-
pies Political Council and pledged
the Chinese to fight until Manchuria
Is recovered.
Reiterating a statement Of 1941,
Chang said: Our sacred resistance
will not end until the lost territory
OF our northeast is fully recovered
and the liberty Of our fellow coun-
trymen there regained.
This has been ChinAs consistent
policy, he said, adding: Military
developments at present are bring
ing us closer to the attainment Of
our aim. We are more confident
than ever in our ability to regain all
our lost territory in the northeast
and we will begrudge no sacrifice
that the consummation Of this task
may entail"
Through more than six years
the resistance of China on her 1000
kilometer front has immobilized
more than 80 enemy divisions" he
continued Now is the time for us
to coordinate our efforts with those
OF our Allies in launching an ALL
front counteroffensive to bring our
fight to successful con-
clusior.
But the closer We approach final
victory the heavier will be our bur-
den. 1t is hoped you will urge all
the citizens of the country to do
their part Loyalty and exert their
utmost so that the ultimate triumph
may be achieved"
Declaring that relations with
Britain, the United States, Russia
and others Of the United Nations
would be placed on . :"closer and
more solid basis" Chang added:
AN evergrowing spirit Of cooper
alton and mutual helpfulness is
especially evident In the co-ordinA-
ton Of the war efforts. In this war
we can surely win both q complete
victory and lasting peace. OF this
there can be no doubt"

Representative Herter, Republi-
can, of Massachusetts urged last
night that the food rationing sys-
tenn be revised to allow supplemental
rations to those groups, such as
workers in heavy industries, whose
food needs are above the average" "
In radio address, Mr.. Herter
also made the following recon-
mendations which he said were
based on Investigations by the House
Republican Food Study Committee !:
/. Revision of rationing policies
applying to public eating places. In
most other war countries, he said,
public eating places are required
TO secure ration coupons from their
patrons"
2. Rationing of butter and fats
separately from meats.
3. Discontinuance of rationing of
sugar. He said there appeared to
be mo real justification for its
continuance in view of existing and
prospective supplies"
4. Issuance of food rationing cou-
pons for a shorter period and only
as against a reasonably foreseeable,

Most Stocks Extend

NEW YORK, Nov. 20-The stock
market registered its third success
sive recoveNy swing today on rela-
lively broad and active dealings.
Dividends and earnings compila-
tions continued to bolster individual
issues but failed to spur others.
Principal buying stimulant still was
the revival of tax optimism and the
waning of short-war talk. Skeptical
customers were plentiful. however.
and these cited the expectedly i'm
minent foreign developments as an
argument for their aloofness.
The list added fractions to Fri
days rally at the opening. Gains
were extended to a point or more
for selected stocks near the close,
although top advances were reduced
by profit taking in some instances.
Transfers of around 100000 shares
were among the largest for Satur-
day in two months.
Liquors steadied. but were unable
to get far in front after their dip
in response to the temporary injunc-
ton against the Tom Moore distil-
lery's plan to distribute whisky to

dend. Most utility preferreds took
