BANNED WEEKLY PAPER
TO FIGHT RECENT POSVOFFICE
ORDER IN COURT

New York City GLNS).-An appeal
to the courts Will be taken to contest
the recent action of the Post Office
Department in revoking the second
class mailing privileges of the Mill
tant, obscure New York TrotSkyist
weekly, described by the American
Civil Liberties Union as "the only
clearly anti-fascist publication cited
under the Espionage Act
The department acted on the basis
of Il hearing before postal authorities
last January ut which the publication
was charged with printing material
deemed diverSonary in character and
appearing TO be calculated to eugender
opposition TO the war effort as we'll as
to interfere with the morale of the
armed forces"
The revocation will be challenged in
the District of Columbia courts. The
American Civil Liberties Union, which
supported the defense at the Post Office
hearing, will appear in the proceed
ingS as friend of the court. According
10 Osmond X. Fracnkei, ACLU coun-
sell who represented the union, "the
evidence against the Militant consists
of quotations whose truth the Post
Office Department does not challenge,
but whose tendency is alleged to OBJ
Struct the conduct of the war by con
demning its alleged imperialist char
acter, ana criticising discrimination
against labor and Negroes"
The union contends that the action
Of the Post Office Department taken
on complaint of the Department of
Justice is unWarrantcd under the ES-
pionage Act and constitutes "interfer,
cnce with legitimate comment on the
war not essentially different from that
appearing in other publications.

INCOME TAXES

MOST Americans have by this time discovered
that they are taxpayers. The tax on 1912 in
comes is an eyeopener and hits most Of us pretty
hard. The new law goes right into the home of
the working men and women and says Give. !.
And they are giving. With exemptions reduced
and a heavy suitaX added very few will escape
helping Uncle Sam pay for the war.
And then we have before us the Ruml plan
which proposed to ''lorgive' at least part of
1912 income taxes and start all over again by
Withholding the tax from the pay envelope The
House Of Representatives. sent it back to the com
mttee, and for good reasons and the committee
must devise new plan.
But, make no mistake about it, YOU are going
to be taxed. Your chief interest is to see that all
citizens are taxed fairly and according to Their
means Not like the Ruml plan, which would save
the $1,000 workman about SS75, the 100000 big
shot n per cent, the 81 100000 magnate lO2 PEI
cent, and Congressman $2,lO0, but a tax law
which will require every American citizen to con
tribute his fair quota to the enormous expense of
carrying on this war.
Members Of Congress seem to believe they
know how to run the war, how to operate Labor
unions, and they now have an opportunity to show
their constituents they know how to enact an
equitable income tax law.

Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau Jr.;
explaining the Second War Loan to labor press
il, reporters said that the regular payroll savings
c campaign and the other War Savings operations
in which labor is vitally interested would continue
as heretofore.
He disclosed that the goal for April for "E''
W or "PeOples Bonds" was 81 800 100000 Ordi-
p, nary workers buy around $7OO,OOO0OO Of these
monthly mostly through payroll deduction.
cl War spending is now at the rate Of six billion
dollars a month, and the 13 billion dollars sought
r. = in the Second War Loan, plus current monthly
bond purchases taxes, and other revenue, Will
u finance the war for about three months. The SIZE
lof the whole April loan is emphasized by the fact
r that the u. S. total Of monthly wages IS about
Eseven billion dollars.
The Secretary said organized labor ndis-
pensible to the job, and will always have "a front
row seat in the TreaSury'S financial councils. He
noted that President William Green of AI'L and
Philip Murray Of CIO were invited to open the
drive April II in a coast-to-coast broadcast with
te Governor Dewey Of New York and himself.
in More than 26 100000 working people are now
enrolled in the War Bond Payroll Savings Plan,
oand all Of them are expected to pay their part in
a'the April drive, he said.
~ 81 think labor has been pretty proud Of the
nWar Savings Drive and felt that they had a voice
bin it," the Secretary said. Labor is having front
GROW seat in the Second War Loan drive because
Nwe need them
- He stated that he received a number Of in
quries from labor unions concerning the future of
1.-THE Payroll Savings Campaign. Labor leaders had
also expressed concern lest the Series f. Peoples
re Bonds be made negotiable Instruments, with their
rcvaue lluctuatng, thus causing possible invest
ment losses to workers.
III In reply to these inquiries the Secretary au-
" thorzed The following statement: First, Series
Il Bonds will continue to be sold after the month
,of April second, the Payroll Savings Plan will be
iilcontinucd after the month Of April; and third,
inSerieS +, f and G. bonds will not become negot-

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Open acknowledgment of Germany's
responsibility for the war has come
from leading press and propaganda
Transport Workers Federation rightly
calls zone of the most remarkable
utterances of the present German
regime"
The confession of German war guilt
appeared on Jan. % in the main edi-
torial of the "Muenchener Neueste
Nachrichten," leading South German
daily and Nazi propaganda organ.
Answering the question WAS this war
necessaryT with blunt yes, the edi-
torial said
"At time when the war reaches
its climax, this question arises again
and demands an answer. Actually
there is but one answer, from which all
others derive: the defeat and disgrace
of 1913 could only be wiped out by a
new test of arms and the proof of
existence of internal strength, which
we then lacked.
"In 1888, with the Nazis rise to
power, war had been tacitly declared
The task of the policy pursued was
to create the most favorable conditions
possible for the event of war. This was
done with indubitable skill and bold
ness"
1t is true, the paper continues, that
the war has also brought great horrors
upon the German people IF we had
been forewarned that we Germans
would have to suffer and overcome the
trials of North Africa, Rzhev, Stain
grad, or the bombs on Cologne, Lue-
beck and ROstock, we should have col
lapsed. But there was and is no alter
native . Fighting fury is the only
thing whereby we can pass through
the DANGERS
"Unconquered Poland" the inspiring
story of Poand's underground resist
ance from the day of the German in
vaSion in September, 1899 to the
present, has just been published by
Poland Fights" Polish Labor Group,
80 West 42nd Street, New York City.
"Unconquered Poland" is a 46-page
account, illustrated by the Czech artist
Hoifmeister, of the poignant struggle
of Polish workers, peasants, intellec-
tualS, and the common man" in refus-
ing by sabotage, guerilla warfare,
underground newspapers, passive re-
$istance, willingness to accept death
rather than submit and every other
means at their disposal to make NaZi
domination of Poland a progressively
hopeless effort
The pamphlet begins with the words
of MiecZySlaW NeidZialhnwslli, labor
leader and Vice-chairman of the War
saws Defense Committee: "'The work
ers do not surrender. The workers. CON
tinue their fight" 1t ends with Presi-
dent Rooseyelts declaration that "iuSt
and sure punishment shall be meted
out to the ringleaderS responsible for
the organized murder of thousands Of
innocent persons and the commission Of
atrocities which have violated every
tenet of the Christian faith" and the
Program for a Peoples Poland, a
statement by the peasant, worker, and
intellectual underground groups about
the Poland of tomorrow.
"Unconquered Poland is based upon
factual evidence that shows the at
tcmptS of the NaziS to subjugate a
country and the Poles reply in deeds.
The story moves from the Germans
statement that "the street belongs to
the victors," to sabotaging of railways,
