Compulsory Lending
Or Savings Tax Seen
Under Consideration
Presidents Warning Stirs
Speculation on Whether
New Plan Is Forthcoming
BT The Associated Press

6f me Associated Press.
President Roosevelts warning that
the Nation must be prepared to
spend less and save more to hold
the line" against imitation stirred
speculation today as to whether the
administration is planning to
recommend to Congress compul-
sorry lending or compulsory savings
tax
Proposals for such levies have
been advanced by Treasury officials
as part of an expanded tax program
to siphon off $4,000, 900 900 in esti-
mated excess public purchasing
power which the Treasury terms
this years Imitation potential"
Proponents say either tax would
partly meet the Presidents demand
for firm imitation controls by freez-
ing the current spending power and
would create a purchasing reserve
for the postwar period.
Victory Tax Cited.
They cite the postwar credit un-
der the Victory Tax as an example
of compulsory lending.
Randolph Paul, Treasury general
counsel, said it would be highly
unrealstic" to rely on taxation along
traditional lines alone to absorb the
entire excess of civilian spending
which threatens a runaway intla-
tion."
He expressed the belief that if
present personal taxes were doubled
to yield an additional $4,000 ,0OO, 900
the level of voluntary savings would
fall below the current figure of
$24 900 900 900 annually, thus in part
defeating the purpose of the higher
taxes
Advocates of compulsory lending
or saving levies say that they pre-
serve the incentive to work by pro-
viding for postwar refund of the
taxes.
Greater Restriction Justified.
In addition, Treasury officials said
the promise of future rewards in
herent in these programs justifies
a greater restriction of consumption
among the lower income groups than
would be fair under outright tax
alton.
One schedule OF rates proposed for
compulsory savings or lending would
exempt the first 81 900 of income of
a married person with no depend
ents, require that 20 per cent of the
next $1,000 and 40 per cent of the
next ZOO be made as compulsory
loan to the Government or put into
some type of savings if compulsory
savings were adopted The sched-
ule would be adjusted upward to
meet higher incomes.
Special provision for fixed COM
mitments or extraordinary expenses,
Treasury officials said, could be made
under either program by allowing
offsets for such things as personal
taxes, rents, medical expenses, debt
repayments and the like.
Savings Plan Favored.
Compulsory saying was said by
some experts to be a more effective
means Oh reducing CIVILIAN SpenQlng
than compulsory lending, since un-
der the latter plan persons with &C
cumulated savings could use these
to meet their lending obligation.
AS result, they said, only those
persons who did not normally save
anything, had no capital and could
not obtain credit, would be COM
PEELED to reduce spending by an
amount corresponding to their lend
ing
They pointed out that compulsory
savings, on the other hand, would
fix a net savings requirement for
each income recipient which could
only be met out of income, not out
of the sale or conversion of assets.

Dabney Warns South
Against 1914. Bolt
Of Democratic Party
Would Accomplish Little
But Defeat of Candidate,
Richmond Editor Says
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
ATHENS, Ga, April l0.-Virginius
Dabney, editor of the Richmond
Times-Dispatch. yesterday declared
that if the South left the Democratic
party fold in 1914 1T would accom-
plish little else than the defeat of
the Democratic candidate for the
presidency"
"A third party bolt by the South
ern Democrats in 1914 would be the
height of futility," Mr.. Dabnev as
serted in an address at the Univer-
slty of Georgia, but, he continued.
the South has been kicked around
for decades and this condition is
apt to continue until we become a
doubtful area politically.
However, a greater measure of
political independence for tine South
has been highly desirable for 40
years and the sooner the independ-
ence is manifest. the better.
Backs Arnalrs Statement.
The Southern States have been
counted in the bag for the Demo-
cratic candidate over entirely too
long a period. Gov. Ellis Arnall of
Georgia is absolutely right in Stress
ing this thought" he said in re-
ferrlng to a recent address bv Gov.
Arnall before the Southern Cover
nors' Conference at Tallahassee,
Fla. 1T has nothing to do with
whether one is pro or anti New
Deal.
In order to keep the record
straight" he continued, st ought
to be stated that President Roose-
Velt has given more time and
thought to Southern problems than
any man who has sat in the White
House in generations. Whether YOU
like his program or whether YOU
don't, it is program addressed in
considerable measure to the ills of
the South, and much of it has been
helpful.
When Gov. Sam Jones of Louis
lana SAID In recent magazine
article that Mr.. Roosevelt has done
precisely nothlng' for the South.
he made fantastically inaccurate
statement.
Doubts Swing to COP.
There appears to be little likeli-
mood that the South will go Repub-
hcan next year" Mr.. Dabney de-
clared, irrespective of whom the
two parties nominate. The strong
probability is that region will be
solidly Democratic.
The present outlook is a contest
between President Roosevelt and
one OF the better-known Repub-
hcans, but even though an even
more determined effort is made on
behalf OF the latter than was made
for Mr.. Willkie in 1910. it would be
miracle of anything came of it
below the Potomac and the Ohio.

any concessions from either or both
parties. in advance of the ballotinp

dergo extraordinary hardship, to
master a hundred different ways of
killing other men-by rifle and ma
chine gun fire, by hand grenades,
by planting mines, by bayonet and
knife thrusts, by clubbing and
strangulation. They are going to
be trained to face death in thous-
and horrible forms and to keep go
ing. They will be tough men pre-
pared to fight at the drop of the
hat in Africa, or Asia, or Europe,
under the burning rays of the equa-
torial sun or in the icy blasts of
the arctic circle.
These are the kinds of men who
have conquered the world, who
drove the Indian from his hunting
grounds in North America and
South America, and who crushed
the native peoples of Africa, and
India, and Australia, and the Is
lands of the Sea and put them to
work so that they, their conquer
ors, could take gold and silver and
precious stones and timber and
every other form of natural wealth
back to their distant homelands.
There are some of us who say:
eve should worry if we are not
permitted to fight. Let the white
folks do the fighting if they want
to. Let them pay for their racial
and color prejudice. For every col
ored boy who doesn't have to fight,
white boy must fight and per-
haps die"
This doesn't make sense.

EMANCIPATION DAY II

The Employees Of a chemical firm
in Nashville recently won an NLRB
election and began negotiations for
a contract. Since SO per cent of the
workers were Negroes, they
thought it fitting to ask that Eman-
cipation Bay be included among
their holidays. This was the only
request at which the management
baked. After long discussions it
held firm but offered the union New
Years Day instead. The workers
accepted, and only after the con-
tract was signed did they remind
the employers that Emancipation
Day is January New Republic.

Sorority Attacks
Navy Ban on
Negro WAVES
st. Paul. MINI

w. l oOAp 1hAAAAAAs
Editor: The National Nom
Partisan Council on Public Affairs
of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is
making a concentrated attack on
the continued refusal of the Navy
Department to admit Negro women
into the WAVES. The council
earnestly desires the cooperation of
all organizations whether civic, re-
ligious, fraternal, etc., in fighting
this fragrant discrimination. The
council urges that kilograms, letters
and cards of protest be sent by or
CARNATIONS and individuals to one
or all of the following: The Presi-
dent of the U. S., commander-in-
chief of the Navy; The Secretary of
the Navy, Frank Knox; 1t. Com
mander Mildred A. McAfee, COM
manding officer of the WAVES;
your congressman and senators.
Eta chapter recently sent kilograms
to President Roosevelt and Repre-
sentative Melvin Mas, whose an
swers were as follows in part.
President Roosevelt ans er d
through Randall Jacobs, Rear Ad-
miral U. S. N, Chief of Naval Per-
sonnet, saying, "The enlistment of
Negroes in the WAVES is under
consideration. At such time as ap-
propriate action is taken, public an
nouncement will be made"
From Rep. Melvin Mas -
quote: 81 made an investigation
and find that negro women are not
barred from the WAVES. The ex-
PLANTATION of the Navy is that crea-
ton of WAVES was to relieve men
for fighting duty. None of the
billets occupied by negro men
have been filled by women. At such
time as that may become neces-
sary, negro women will be taken
into the WAVES" Unquote.

in this war as Americans. We are
opposed to the Jim Crow Army be-
cause a Jim Crow Army is COM
PEELED to be less efficient than an
Army where the color or race of a
soldier is not a badge of inferiority.
But above all we want to fight
wherever the fighting is.
We know what we can do. We
know that if given the proper train
ing and a chance, colOred boys will
meet the best fliers of Japan and
Germany and Outfly them, Outright
them, Outgame them and knock
them out of the skies.
We know that if given the train
ing and leadership colored boys will
drive their tanks to the rim of hell
and back again-and when it comes
to rough work in close, to clubbing,
strangulation, the deadly use of the
bayonet and the knife, colored boys
will take the Germans and Japs to
school Grade I B. But great fight
ing unit must have the spirit and
will to fight. And segregation with
it's inevitable inequalities and in
suits chills the fighting ardor of
Americas colored soldiers.
And Yet!
We hope that at least a million
American cOlOred men will be taken
into the armed forces and subjected
to training no matter how rigid it
may be. We want combat troops,
trained as other Americans are be-
ing trained. And we want to see
them get their chance on the battle
front, wherever the battle front
may be. We know that many will be
wounded and MANNED and killed
but we also know that some will re-
turn.
And those who return will be
tough men, for they will have en-
dured hunger and cold and weary
marches and engaged in fierce bat
tie and looked with unblinking
eyes upon death.
Peace demands men no less cOur-
ageOus than war. And when this
war is over perhaps more than any
time in it's history Americas col
Ored population must have in its
ranks tough men who are not
afraid.

We Are Willing to PuY
the Price

Editor: Today we are celebrat-
ing throughout the Church brother
hood Sunday. The Negro is a wor-
thy example of the brotherhood of
man and the fatherhood of God.
We have given of the fullest meas
ure in the past in order that this
spirit might live. We are willing
to give more in the future. In these
precarious times we are a part of
the great fight for freedom. We
are fighting for the principles which
those who have tasted freedom
know the real value of. The South
ern slave holder in 1861 asked what
the Negro was fighting for. They
said, this is not a war that will set
you free. This is a war for eco
nomic domination. The Northern
army will only make you worse
slaves than you are now.
The German Kaiser asked that
question of the Negroes in 1918.
Mr.. TOTO, premier of Japan, asked
that question after Pearl Harbor.
What are you fighting for? Your
skin is more like our skin. To all of
these the Negroes are answering.
We are fighting for the four free
doms. We are fighting for freedom
of speech, freedom of religion,
freedom from want, freedom from
the curse of tenant farming and
from the poverty and disease of
the city slums, from malnutrition
and economic servitude, for free
dom from premature death, for
freedom from fear, for freedom
from bombs. We are fighting now
to let the world know we love lib
erty and we are willing to pay the
price for it even though the price
may be our ife's blood. So today;
Facing the rising sun
Of our new day begun
Let US march on
Till victory is won.

Quota

From Texas up to Minnesota,
I run against a thing called
quota,
It's Opportunity on ration,
Its key is scaled to population.
If wise old Nature really meant
To hold my destiny to ten per-
cent
Why did she give me heart and
soul,
If not to seek all things in
whole?
The man who curves his social
graph
To keep me on the bottom half
Throws sneak punch to fairplay's
chin,
And thus fouls MAY the best
man win"
Through quota systems compro-
misers,
Cut small dividends with big divi-
sors,
By which majorities grow over
potent,
And scheme to leave me out of
quotient.
Life simply holds no great at
traction,
Curtailed by decimal point or
fraction,
When there are nine, and ten to
share it,
Please, let me stake my chance
on merit!
