Paul Warns taxpayers
Must Help on Profits Law
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 11.-Randolph
E. Paul, general counsel of the
Treasury, declared last night that
taxpayers must share responsibility
with the Government for successful
administration of relief provisions Of
the excess profits tax law.
"The greater the number Of un.
reasonable and exhorbitant claims
filed, the more difficult 1t will be for
the Government to administer relief
fairly and fully to those who deserve
it," he said in an address prepared
for delivery to the New York Society
Of Certified Public Accountants.
Mr.. Paul was unable to attend tho
meeting, but his address was deliv.
cred for him by Joseph G. Blandi,
special assistant to the chief counsel
Of the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
Mr.. Paul asserted that the excess
profits law "can become an instru.
ment for the destruction rather than
for the preservation Of competitive
enterprise" If the relief which Con-
gress intended to give taxpayers Is
arbitrarily denied them.

I'D Rather Be Rioht'
Revelation Of Axis Propaganda Contradictions
Is Easy Come, but Merits Occasional Attention

describing Europe as one coy COM
munity, all Of whose people are
going to be allowed to make them
selves harmoniously snug together
among the tombstones.
But a German paper reports that
a number Of German farmers are
being punished for sending parcels
of food to foreign workers who had
been transferred from their farms
to munitions factories. Apparently
these German farmers had devel-
oped feelings of friendship for their
prisoner-workers. But Hitler, who
is forced to preach the propaganda
line of friendship among European
peoples, is also compelled to fear
that friendship when it does arise,
unofficially and down below, max
ing his war seem stupid. He has
to stimulate European friendship
and he has to fight it, both.
The German press is also in q
continuous tizzy against those Ger
man maidens, who, perhaps taking
the new friendship line too seri-
ously, are accused of being too
friendly with foreign prisoners
Many new laws have been issued
against advanced manifestations Of
community spirit.
Middle Class Weakened.
The headiest of German double
talk wells up in the economic field
The Hitler regime came to power
promising national Socialism" It
never delivered and never intended
to. But the German middle class,
sections of which had rather smugly
enjoyed the Fascist freezing of eco
nomic relations, has now found it
self sold out, too.
Some 100000 German retail stores
have been closed. Meanwhile, the
great German corporations grow
bigger, at the price of giving up
their freedom and putting high
Nazis on their boards, so that
Switzerland reports the Dessau-
Gas concern has just swallowed the
Schorch- Rheydt Co., Allianz Insur-
ance has taken in Freia, the big
Siemens Co. has engulfed the LIGHT
und Kraftanlagen A. c., etc., etc.
Germany's workers, promised
enormous benefits, were sold out
first. Then the German middle
class, promised stability, was sold
out to big German capital Now
big German capital has been sold
out to Hermann Goering.
The Axis beats us on the double
talk front, two to one. It's contra
dictions 60 far deeper than the
admitted and unconcealed differ
ences between, say, Russia and the
west. Those differences are &C
knowledged and clean, by COMPARE
son, and have stood the test of two
years Of joint war.

because we are now producing 50
much.
However, the Axis double-talkers
ought not to escape an occasional
treatment.
We start then, with TOTO, who just
has told an outdoor audience in
Manila that the Filipinos will have
their independence restored only
when they return to their true
Oriental spirit"
But if there is anything that
Tojo's Axis partner, Hitler, hates
it is the Oriental spirit" He muir
dered Jews on the claim that they
were Orientals, and he excused the
invasion of Russia on the theory
that it was an attack on dangerous
Eastern, or Oriental, hordes.
Enemy of Everybody.
The Axis is mobilizing Europe on
slogan of down with the Oriental
races, and it is mobilizing Asia on
a slogan of down with the Occidental
races, in which somewhat round
about manner it reveals that its
enemy is the human race.
We go on, now, to the case OF
Marshal Petain, who says he deals
with Hitler because that is the
only way to preserve France and
the French Empire.
But in its propaganda work in
Syria, the Axis asks the natives to
throw the British out, and be free
for, it says, France will be dead
after the war, and will never re-
turn to Syria. So the Axis promises
life to France at Vichy, and it prom
Uses death to France in the Nea,

If we 60 into Europe itself to look
for Axis contradictions and double
talk, we find a forest of it.

with It's committees recommen-
dations.
Obviously there must be some
thing in this plan, or it could
not have survived the onslaught
of the administration, backed up
by many of the Southern Demo-
Gratis in the House who ordi-
narily in these days do not see
eye to eye with the White House
on domestic issues. It was de-
feated the last time in the House
by the slender margin of 2O6
votes to 2O2.
The administration turned its
back on the Ruml plan soon
after it was presented last sum-
mer-although it was even then
apparent that some plan must
be devised to get the income tax
payers on a current basis.
The administration has never
brought forward q workable sub
stitute plan. On the contrary,
the administration has been
gradually forced, by public SEN
timent and the votes in the
House, to modify its original po-
sition. The Ruml plan calls for
the abandonment of 100 per cent
of the income taxes on 1912 in
come-with payments this year
made to cover the 1913 income.
Becomes COP Issue.
The first Ways and Means
Committee bill proposed not to
abandon any of the 1912 tax, but
to allow the taxpayers to become
current by paying two years
taxes in one year. The admins
tration approved the bill. 1t was
defeated. The second Ways and
Means Committee bill proposed
that about 40 per cent of the 1912
tax be forgiven" and the rest
paid in three annual installments,
with the taxpayers paying in ad-
dition their annual income taxes,
so as to become current four years
hence. This, too, was approved
by the administration.
In the end the House turned
down the second committee bill,
as well as the Ruml plan as pre-
sented in the so-called Carlson
bill, and passed the Forand-Rob-
ertson bill, which forgives IS per
cent of the 1912 income tax. The
administration, 1t is now re-
ported, is willing to 60 along with
the Forand- Robertson bill. ANY,
thing to get away from the Ruml
plan in its entirety.
The Republicans in the House
made an issue of the Ruml plan,
giving it their earnest support.
In the Senate, Senator Vanden-
berg of Michigan, Republican
member of the Finance Commit
tee, issued a statement some
time ago announcing that all
eight of the Republican men,
bers of that committee supported
the Ruml plan. They did, when
the time came to vote in COM
mittee. The cohesion of the
minority party in this fight, up
to date, has been a remarkable
demonstration of what a minor
ity party can do, if it has the
backing of public sentiment.

war will have to be taken fully
into consideration.
The Allied forces in North
Africa have gained a splendid
victory. They have delivered the
first clear-cut defeat in this war
on the Axis armies. Allied STRAIT
egg, the valor of the fighting men
and the excellence of their mod
ern equipment have eliminated
the old saying, "Too little and too
late"
The victory naturally has Gre
ated tremendous Joy in all Allied
nations, particularly those which
are suffering under the Nazi boot
who now see the day of their
deliverance as very close; prob
ably closer than it actually is.
The people of these long-suf-
fering nations, together with the
Americans and British, appear
to believe the Tunisian victory
is definitely the turning point Of
the war and are inclined to draw
q parallel between the present
and the summer and fall Of 1918
when the imperial German
forces and their allies collapsed.
Optimism Not Shared.
Responsible quarters, however,
do not share this optimism. They
are loath to pour cold water on
a most legitimate enthusiasm.
But they also are fully aware
that cold judgment and a sense
of realism must prevail again if
the present super optimism is not
to be replaced by gloom. This
is true particularly about the
nations which still live within
the confines of the European
fortress and who look for their
deliverance this year.
The Germans have lost a max
imum of 10 divisions out of
a total of about 300. They are
still very strong, we'll equipped
and fully able to continue the
fight.
According to reliable informa-
ton, the Germans are planning
a large offensive against our
Russian ally. Tunisia, the italian
islands guarding the European
continent, and even Italy her
self, are nothing but advanced
posts Of Europe. We must first
obtain toehold in Europe

1t had been written almost a year

This Changing World
'Russion Angle Of War Will Figure Largely
In Looming folks by Allied Stroteeists

where We can assemble our
forces.
Tunisia was fortified only per-
functorily. The Nazis were OPP
Grating under great difnculty,
since they had to bring their re-
Inducements and supplies from
across the water, while the Al
lies had comparatively easy land
communications and a naval and
air force which was capable,
when weather conditions per-
mitted, of hampering the Nazi
supply lines.
The situation is different on
the European continent. It will
be up to the Allies to take their
forces, supplies and reinforce
ments across the water. At pres
ent we have 4-to-1 air superb
GRITTY in Western Europe and a
landing protected by powerful
air umbrella might be possible
if the Allies want to pay the
price.
This price doubtless will be
very heavy. In Tunisia we had
about 100000 troops against
about half that number of Axis
fighting men. We also had a
.4-to-1 air superiority.
Not more than 80 divisions are
now on the Atlantic Coast from
Norway to the Spanish border.
These troops, however, are be-
hind much stronger fortified
lines than in Tunisia and have
at their disposal many more air
fields and gasoline and ammu-
milton dumps than they had in
North Africa.
100000 Men Seen Needed.
Hence, the Allies could not
think of undertaking real in
vasion of Europe with fewer than
go divisions, that is to say, nearly
100000 men. According to
competent estimates, if a large
scale invasion of Europe is de-
cided on for this year, the Nazis
could bring at least another 80
divisions from the Eastern front
in less than 80 days.
OF course, the populations of
the occupied countries in what
ever area we decide to attack
would be Fundamentally with
the Allies and could interfere
with the Axis lines of commune
cation. But too much reliance
is not to be placed on this as
sistance.
Unless we have completely
misread the movement of the
Nazi troops, the Russians again
will bear the full brunt of Hit
ler's desperate efforts to reach a
stalemate in Europe.
They have carried more than
80 per cent of the burden of the
war until now because the west
ern Allies were not fully pre-
pared to take their share of re-
sponsibility.
But now, with a very strong
British Army available across the
Channel and with the American
forces fully primed for war, they
will insist that we join the battle
and take our share of pounding.

Oh TUESDAY as uehf1 "cA0"vfe'
he was on Monday. His complete
efficiency would get results at any
cost. His toughness was hidden be-
hind a gracious manner, a quick
smile and pair Of twinkling eyes.
He worked IL, Is or 10 hours a day,
but he always had time to talk to
those who wanted to see him.
Shortly after I got here, one Of
his aides arranged an interview for
me. I was prepared to be ushered
in and ushered out in few min
utes but the general was as gra-
cious in his big Office, which was
papered with maps, charts and
graphs, as though it were the draw
ing room in his home. He must
have talked with me for an hour
or more, giving me the background
| picture of the European theater.
The general was born in Tennes-
see and we found that we had mu-
tual friends in Nashville. We talked
about them and about Vanderbilt
football teams and how good it
would be to have another breakfast
of Tennessee ham, grits, red-eys
gravy and fried sweet potatoes.
Gave Party for Writers.
The last time I saw Gen. An
drews was the day before he took
off on the fight that cost him his
life. He gave party for the CORE
spondents and everyone had such a
swell time that it was suggested to
the general that he give one every
week or so.
A few hours after the last corre-
spondent had gone, the general must
have taken off on his last flight The
obituaries probably said that the
general, whose first love was planes,
particularly bombers, died the way
he would have like to have died
while flying-but know better. The
second front was his goal and if he
could have chosen his way to go, it
would have been on a major opera
ton against the Axis, not on lonely
hill in Iceland.
Another who died with Gen.
Andrews was Col. Morrow Krum,
head public relations officer of the
European theater. I still can't be-
lieve Col. Krum is gone. He was the
man correspondents saw every day.
His office was a meeting place and
bull session ring for all of us. He
served tea and cakes every afternoon
at and one had to get there early
to get standing room.
He was the officer who had box
tackled on the wall into which every
correspondent who used British
expression instead of an American
one was forced to drop a shilling.
The money was used for soft drinks
and tea.
Formed Softball Team.
We will miss Col Krum most on
Sunday afternoons in Hyde Park.
He was the organizer, captain and
first baseman of the amazing soft
ball team made up of correspondents
and public relations officers. The
colonel was a favorite with Lon
doners who attended the games reg
ularly. He wasn't exactly Hal Chase
when it came to fielding and his
batting average was strictly bunch
OF decimal points, but his unfailing
good humor more than made up fol
his weakness in the field and at baA
