The Great Game of Politics

by the citizens sweating under the
tax burden now-and who are going
to sweat a lot more next year-that
while there have been some govern
mental economies since Pearl Har-
Dor, none was due to executive ini-
tiative. On the contrary, all were
made either through congressional
action or forced by congressional
pressure.
Such was the case with the liQui-
dation of the WPA, the CCC and
the NYA. Such also was the case
with the domestic branch of the
Owl, and such will be the case with
the OCD.
So far from the national interests
having suffered by curtailment of
these agencies, the national inter-
ests have been distinctly served
The thing to be regretted is that
the cut did not 60 deep enough
and was not made sooner. This
question of revenue in economy
soon will be brought again to the
front IN Congress. Senator Byrd is
determined to get light upon the
reason for the holding in the Treas
ury of % billions of unexpended
balances-enough to finance the war
for two years without the appropri-
alton of another dollar. And men,
bers of the Ways and Means Com
mlttee propose to call Army and
Navy officials to see whether much
OF this huge sum cannot be saved.
Sales Tax Favored.
sentiment, in Congress and out
side, grows both for the sales tax
and economy. Despite executive
opposition, the first may be incor-
porated in the bill and progress NAV
be made in the second. 1t does
seem that a courageous and nonpo-
ntlcal administration would be urg-
ing these things instead of irving
to block them
1t is not likely the Treasury pro-
posals will be accepted, but the
danger is that, the politics of the
executive branch begetting politics
IN Congress, the result will be an
other compromised and confused
law, which will wholly avoid reah-
ties.
The sad truth is that the admin
lStratlon's wartime financial leader
snip is political, hypocritical. hol-
low, unsound and inadequate. 1t
reflects credit upon neither the

measure up to the situation in this
vital business, but the chances are
not very good.

This Changing Wor|d-

Nazis, at least for the time being.
How far the Germans are willing
to trust the Italians Is indicated
by the fact that they are disarm-
ing them as quickly as possible.
even in Northern Italy, where
Mussolini is the nominal ruler.
Hence, it is assumed that the
Nazis are rushing forces from
Greece and Bulgaria to the key
islands Of the Aegean. The recent
sinking Of German transports by
British submarines in that area
is indicative of what we expect
the Germans to do.
But a mere interference with
the German effort to reinforce
the garrisons of the Dodecanese
Islands would be negative STRAIT
egy. The Allies, who now have alb
solute naval and air control of
the Mediterranean and also have
important forces in Syria and
Egypt, must try to dislodge the
Germans from at least the east
ern islands such as Rhodes which
now bare the Aegean to Allied
shipping.
Middle East Armies Idle.
The British armies in the Mid
ole East are now being idle.
Nothing menaces that area which
is held by large but not par
ticularly well equipped British
force backed by Polish and Royal
Yugoslav units. Since it is too
late in the season for the Allies
to make large scale operations
In the Balkan Peninsula itself, a
major offensive against the Nazi
held islands in the Mediterrane-
an might be undertaken with a
coed prospect Of success.
The Russians who realize the
difficulties their forces must en-
counter this winter because lease
lend supplies are reaching them
through the Persian Gulf are
said to regard the prospects of
such an offensive as the best sub
stltute for second front across
the English Channel this fall.
1t would not be so viewed
few months hence. But since the
Russians seem reconciled to the
idea that we will not cross the
Channel until next spring, they
would welcome the opening Of
the Dardanelles.
One Of the principal deterrents
to a campaign in the Aegean is
that 1t would require the full par
tlclpation of the Mediterranean
fleet which is also needed in the
Indian Ocean for the Burma Of
tensiVe.
If we choose to clear the
Aegean, that fleet would have to
remain at its present position for
the rest Of the year.

contrast, and in this sense the
measure, by which God can be
determined.
This is what Goethe meant
when he had Mephisto, the spirit
of evil, introduce himself to
Faust in the following manner:
Faust: Who are you?
Mephisto: 1 am part of that
power that, always willing evil,
creates the good.
There is a difference between
Mephisto and Hitler - namely
Hitler's lack of consciousness of
his function. But there are some
signs that, like Mephisto, by
creating total evil, he will succeed
in serving some good.
This occurs to me in reading
the declaration of principles for
a just peace, set forth by l44
prominent leaders of the Protes-
tant, Catholic and Jewish faiths.
Fact, Alone, Is Remarkable.
The fact alone of such a dec
laration, in which seven points
are subscribed to by all, without
minority reports, is remarkable.
There have been times, when
the Jewish faith, as a religion,
was prosecuted with sword and
fire by the Christian Church.
There was a time, during the
Thirty Years War, when Protes-
tants and Catholics reduced
Europe to a wilderness in a
quarrel over creed.
And in 1000 years of history,
there was no time when the
leaders of the three great re-
ligions of western civilization,
could come out on the platform
of a common ethos for a reform
of the world.
The creator Of this great phe-
nOmenon is Hitler. BY his re-
pudiation of all religious values;
by his persecution of both Chris
tians and Jews; by his attempt to
create pagan creed of force, he
has modified and revitalized the
religious instinct and the moral
values. He has challenged all
faiths, to prove whether they be
utterly morlbund, or have any
function in a world of pure force.
He has done more. BY the Gre
alton of a psuedo-church, secu-
lar Germanic religion, he has
compelled even the Russians to
take account of the religious
instinct.
AS Frederick Voigt, in his pene-
trating book Unto Caesar
pointed out, the Soviets, though
they prosecuted the church,
never attempted to pervert it.
They never put the hammer and

absence of any is practically con-
fession of guilt. At any rate, the
charges are sufficiently sustained by
the facts as to justify resentment
and shake confidence in the high
mindedness of the administration.
The first charge is that the Treas
ury's proposals are clearly political,
in that they calculatingly relieve of
taxes total of 100000 people, in
whose hands are fou--ffths of the
dangerous money" the absorption
of Which-if initiation is to be
aVerted-the Treasury itself asserts
to be essential. 1t is pointed out
that the manner in which the
Treasury would relieve these 23.-
100000 taxpayers is, first, through
abolition Of the Victory tax and,
second, by its new device of re
fundable tax"
1t is further pointed out that this
relief would come just before the
1914 convention in which Mr.. Roose-
Welt Will be nominated for a fourth
term, and that the 2300O,000 are
voters
Small Group Hit Hardest.
Still further, while relieving this
vast body of voters who have most
OF the dangerous money" the
Treasury proposes to soak still hard
er the small body of voters already
taxed pretty close TO the limit. All
of which would enable the fourth
termers to make their usual dema-
goglc appeal in the campaign.
On its face, this is one of the
most brazen pieces of politics any
one can recall
The second charge is that. while
the Treasury correctly states that
$40 900 100000 additional revenue is
needed to prosecute the war and
keep the Federal financial structure
from sagging, both the Treasury and
the White House, paradoxically, set
their faces firmly against the two
simplest, soundest and most obvious
methods of raising this revenue.
One of these is the general sales tax,
the other is economy in expendi-
lures.
A great many years ago one of the
great Greek philosophers said, Men
do not realize how great a revenue
economy is Certainly, that is true
Of the men in this administration.
Now, asking for s100O0,OO0 900 more
revenue, they make no calculation
whatever of how much of this might
be raised by curtailing waste. and
will make no effort along that line.
1t is an attitude that cannot be
defended. 1t ought to be understood
