A Friend Recalled

The people of the United States
will find nothing to reassure them in
the decision to recall DR.. Felipe A.
Espil, who has rendered distinguished
service as the Argentine Ambassador
here during the past twelve years.
DR.. Espil has never lost sight of
the fact that his first loyalty is to
his own government and his own
country. Nevertheless, he has been
a real friend of the United States
and a real friend of democracy. For
Argentina to recall this Well-liked
and talented diplomat at time when
democratic concepts, as we under
stand them, are being stifled in his
own country, and when our relations
with Argentina are deteriorating,
cannot fail to have disturbing roper
cussions here.
No reasons have been given for
the recall, and it is possible that
upon his return to Buenos Aires DR..
ESpll will be assigned to duties in
which his close ties with this coun-
try and his thorough grasp of North
American affairs can be employed
to the mutual advantage of Argen-
tina and the United States. Should
experience reveal, however, that his
recall is merely a manifestation of
Argentine displeasure with the atti-
t,ude which this Government has
adopted toward Argentina's refusal
to take a stand with other Latin
American republics against the Axis,
DR.. Espil's departure probably will
mark a worsening instead of an i'm
provement in relations between the
two countries.
DR.. Adrian c. Escobar is to be the
new Argentine Ambassador. He is
regarded as an able man and he has
had extensive diplomatic experience,
notably in Brazil and in Spain. 1t
has been remembered, however, that
when he went to Madrid he was
greeted by General Francisco Franco
with an address urging Argentina to
join with Spain in becoming the
spiritual axis in the Hispanic world"
and DR.. Escobar is reported to have
replied with statement of his belief
that Latin Americans unsympathetic
to Falangist Spain would change
their views.
If the new Ambassador holds to
these beliefs, it may be difficult for
him to succeed to the position of high
esteem in which his predecessor has
been held in Washington.

T ak Fantasy

1t probably will not happen, but Just
In case the Administration newest
revenue program should be adopted
by Congress without a change, some
people are going to be in a fine fix if
they are residents of New York State
and unlucky enough to earn a net
income of anywhere from 100000 to
$500,00 in 1914
Take the New Yorker earning
100000, for example. The poor fel-
low-if married and without depend
ents-Would have to pay a Federal
tax of S254,242 and a State tax of
$20,575. In addition, assuming he
made the same in 1912, he would
have to pay to the Government the
1912 per cent due on that income
next March 15-a further outlay of
27,4S7. All together, that is, he
would have to give the revenue COL
lectors a total of S3O2,3O4 in 1914
or some $4,000 more than his actual
net income.
But let us not pity this wretched
man too much. A sadder case than
his would be that of the New York
slavey making $4oO,0OO net in 1914.
Married and with no dependents, he
Evening star., 1943-10-10

would have to hand over to the State
and Federal Governments a total Of
$4O8,814. Or If he earned $500000,
the unfortunate creature would have
to pay out $515, 5,324-just SIS, 1924 more
than he took in, difference he could
make up, presumably, by finding
some velocity dollars somewhere or
borrowing on his life insurance, his
car and that fairly good set of tires
still knocking around in the garage.
AS matter of fact, under the Ad-
ministration'S proposed revenue pro-
gram, married New Yorker with no
dependents would be better off If he
made $4,000 net in 1914 than if he
made 100 times that sum. AS
$5,000-man, he would have $3,461 left
after the collectors got through with
him, but as $500,0O0- man, he would
have nothing left but debt. Indeed,
you could be New Yorker earning
$2,OOO,O00 next year, and still you
would not be much ahead of the
So'ooo-man, because after. taxes you
would have only $4,188 in your
pockets.
There is something even more
wonderful than fearSome about these
figures, but just what it is, is hard to
define. Suffice it to say that like
good bit of nonsense verse, they re-
duce big situation to an absurdity
and that if that absurdity is ever
written into a revenue law, time
honored fantasy of the cartoonists
will at long last become real, and we
shall see the poor, underprivileged
rich walking around the streets
dressed not in fine clothes but in
barrels.

NOT TOO LATE
By Req. DR.. Seth r. Brooks,
Minister UniUersalist National Memorial Church.

Such times as our Nation is now en-
during always vibrate with the cry for
"a better world" There is no doubt mil
lions are desiring it and praying for it;
but, alas, the feeling constantly creeps
in that what we will get in the end is the
same old world.
Tennyson in one Of his many inspired
moments wrote, 'Tis not too late to seek
a newer world" But is there still time
and opportunity in the face OF serious
international conflict, dangerous ma
tional problems and staggering personal
dislocations? Shall man give in to the
feeling of futility and forsake the search
for "the beloved community"
The whole spirit and attitude of 'Tis
not too late" is intimately related to re-
ligion. Both Judaism and Christianity
have never accepted the feeling OF frus-
tration. The Bible is the story of people
who never lost the conviction that new
day could dawn. Abraham left Ur in
search Of this new day. Moses led his
people toward a promised land The
prophets warned, condemned and wept,
but proclaimed there was still a chance.
Jesus saw men as "the salt OF the
earth" and knew their Antiseptic pre-
servative and savoring power. Paul ran
as lone sure of his goal" The early
Christians amid the decay of Rome kept
alive the hope in Gods purpose for man.
The overtone of religion is that it is not
too late for nations and men to unite
with God in building newer world.
The real leaders of earth are those
who refuse to accept the feeling that
conditions cannot be bettered. World
| improvement begins in the minds of peo-
pie who say, Il won't feel hopeless nor
will despair of brighter day to dawn"
The fact is that life moves forward The
world is improved by those who can
imagine how it is to be improved.
If history teaches anything, it is that
there are unseen spiritual forces which
move like a mighty tide against the de-
stroyer and the man of evil The

Airpower and the Nuzis

The Luftwaffe's raid on England
the other day was probably the
heaviest since the blitz period Of
l941, but even so, it was relatively
little more than a pinprick, and COM
pared to British American attacks
on Germany, it was as molehill to
mountains.
Yet the mere fact that this raid
represented an intensified effort sug-
gests that the Nazi high command
may be preparing to give much
greater attention to a program of
reprisals From time to time during
the past twelve months, the German
people have been told by their lead
ers-by Goering and Goebbels and
Hitler himself-that the day was
coming when our Allied pulveriza-
ton of places like Hamburg would be
answered in full by retaliatory at
tacks, but like many others of the
same kind, this promise has failed to
materialize up to now, and the
bombed-out citizenry of the Reich
must be growing more and more i'm
patient to know why.
Thus, Germans all over Germany
must be asking themselves when is
Goering going to make good his
boast of last winter that the Luft-
waite would strike back at "the right
time" They must be asking them
selves the same thing about Goeb-
bells periodic reassurances. And it
must be fresh in their minds that
only a few weeks ago, the Fuehrer
himself limited that in the near fu-
ture, perhaps with new techniques
and new weapons, important action
would be taken to smash the British
American "air terror"
When we remember how the British
felt during the blitz, how they kept
calling upon the hard-pressed Raj
to do what was impossible at that
time-to switch from the defense
and open bombing offensive on
Berlin and other key cities OF the
Reich-we can readily imagine how
the German people must now be

dent no real cause ever is lost. And be-
cause thought is moral obligation, 1t
follows that we morally are obligated to
be strong minded.
France surrendered when she was con-
vinced that it was futile to continue the
struggle. England fought on because in
her darkest hour, not seeing how, never
theless she was bound to struggle for a
moral conviction even though she saw no
certainty of early success. Small nations
may suffer, but the dream of just and
righteous world society never can be
ended.
Because it is never too late to seek a
newer world, man must play his part
continually. Every great institution is
but the heightened shadow of a man."
Human progress is the heightened in
f1uence of those who will not stand still
nor turn back. Man can do something
every day for newer world.
If the British could pull out after
Dunkirk and if we could come back after
Pearl Harbor, then it is certain we have
spiritual forces in our life as nations and
individuals to lift us out of present diff
culties and send us forward
The feeling of futility, despair and
hopelessneSs is unbecoming a religious
person. No one is more tedious than the
person of no hope, faith and trust The
real man is he who reflects the long
view of religious faith that human i'm
provement is a law of life. Browning
touched note of grandeur when he
wrote, when is man strong until he
feels alone?" Ibsen, too, expressed the
thought in the words, The strongest
man on earth is he who stands most
alone" The world needs men who can
stand alone, if necessary, and know with
the writer of Revelation, Behold, have
set before thee an open door, and no
man can shut it." The open door is
the future which is the opportunity for a
better, braVer fairer world IT'S not
too late to seek newer world!'

pressing for similar action against
England. It would be unnatural for
them merely to be content to sit and
take 1t without wanting to give at
least some of it back, particularly
when most current British American
raids let loose on them three or four
time the weight of bombs ever
dropped on London in the LuftWaffe's
palmiest days.
1t seems safe assumption, in the
circumstances, that the Nazi high
command feels this pressure from
the German home front quite as
much as the British command felt
1t from Britons back in the blitz
DAYS. Perhaps even more so, because
whereas the Churchill government
never made any promises, Hitler and
his henchmen have handed them out
lavishly. Accordingly, as the severity
OF our Allied air offensive steadily
grows, the Nazis must want very
much to hit back in reprisal, if only
for morale purposes. 1t is question,
though, whether they can do it, be-
cause for many months past, the
bulk of their plane production has
been made up of fighter craft de-
signed for defense.
1t would be foolish, however, to dis
count completely such hints at sur
prises as Hitler made recently, for
there is always the possibility that
the Luftwaffe has been quietly build
ing up bomber strength for some
sudden spectacular thrust against us.
In any event, as Prime Minister
Churchill observed a short time ago,
we must be constantly prepared for
novel and powerful blows from the
Nazis. They are still dangerous and
resourceful in the extreme, and the
more desperate their position be-
comes, the more we shall have to be
on the ready for them.

In the Pacific

Important new events appear to
be taking shape in the Pacific Ad-
niral King has been out there to
confer with Admirals Nimitz and
Halsey; Wake Island has just been
subjected to a violent sea and air
bombardment by our forces; the
japanese have withdrawn from Villa
and may soon give up all of Kolom-
bangara Island; and in New Guinea
We continue to advance against di-
minishing resistance. The whole
picture over vast reaches of ocean,
from Wake southwark, is one of
movement suggesting that major new
offensive blows are in the making,
with the enemy incapable of wreSt-
ing the initiative from us anywhere
Our drive northward through the
SolomonS to Kolombangara, coupled
with our New Guinea gains, is slowly
but surely placing the Japanese on
New Britain in kind Of pincers CAL
culated to hasten the fall of that
island and with it the fall Of Rabaul,
apparently the enemy's most impor-
tant base south Of Truk. A study
Of the map Of the Southwest Pacific
will show how this is taking place.
1t will show, too, how the loss of Ra-
baul would almost certainly force
the Japanese to fall back eventually
to Truk, abandoning an enormous
area of ocean and numerous small
islands in the process.
This emerging pattern in the Pa
cltlc opens up a wide field Of Specu-
latiOn for armchair Strategists.
Equipped only with a map and with
out benefit of any inside information
on plans that will be revealed only
in battle action, they can make the
plausible guess that if Rabaul falls,
our next major objective will be
Truk and that the effort to take
Truk may well involve decisive naval
and air engagements. For this is
base comparable in Importance, from
the japanese viewpoint, to Pearl
Harbor and should it ever become
ours, the enemys island positions all
the way westward to the Philippines
would be endangered. East of
Truk he would face encirclement in
the Marshall and Gilberts. We have
these island groups partly surround
p1 ~ t1o
by our Ellice and SoIomons holdings.
Should T'ruk ever fall to US, their
isolation would be virtually complete,
especially if we also took Wake
athwart the northern approach to
them.
Though wholly speculative, this
picture suggests two important pos
slbilities: First, that coming action
IN the Pacific, far from being mere
island-hopping process, may result
In the by-passing or naturalization
OF many enemy positions in much the
manner that Kiska was neutralized
in the Aleutians, but on a grander
NNaiN, dI4O SCIOIlll, lIIdI IL LUX is
cracked, the way may be opened for
direct assault westward to the
Philippines.
The latter possibility-envisioning
the severance of all Japan's vital
supply lines southwark to the Dutch
East Indies-has already won impor-
tant Chinese Endorsement as one way
to speed up the finish of the Toto war
machine. Whether an attempt will
be made to realize it, remains to be
seen. The only thing we can be rea-
sonably sure of is that the japanese
are going to have a busy time of it
trying to hold on to their ill-gotten
gains in the Pacific. All the current
signs indicate as much; the atmos-
sphere is one of big things developing.

There are numerous signs that their

CONSERVE FOR VICTORY

De are told that food will win the

urged to conserve food for victory
What does the word conservation
mean to you? To one it means
canning all available food. To an
other il means canning, drying
sailing and brining, quick freezing
and storage of suitable crops as po-
tatoes, apples, turnips, etc. Here's

ideally situated. Judging from its
luscious Strawberries, tender green
spears of asparagus, and hosts of
other garden produce, one must

to get hem fresh from the field or
