BY GOULD LINCOLN.

President Roosevelt has not
given up his plan to limit during
the war net salaries and net in
come of individuals to s25, 600
after all taxes are paid.
The House Ways and Means
Committee by vote of IS to 10
ordered favorably reported the
Disney bill multiplying the Presi-
dents executive order of last
October 3, fixing such limita-
ton on salaries. Democratic
leaders in the House predicted
the Disney measure would be
passed by considerable major
ity-and there was every reason
TO believe the Senate would take
similar action. And to make the
proposal stick, the Ways and
Means Committee added the null
llffer to the administration
much-desired bill to increase the
national debt limit to s210000,-
100000.
The President has countered.
now, with a letter to Chairman
Doughton Of the Ways and Means
Committee in which he urges
Congress 10 levy a special war
tax which would limit incomes,
whether salaries or from other
sources, to S25 900 for q single
person and to $4,000 in the case
Of a married couple. If such a
tax is enacted, the President
promises to rescind Immediately
his executive order.
The Treasury Department and
the President were unable to get
Congress to pass such limitation
on incomes last year. Neither
House acted upon the sugges-
tion-a defeat for the proposal.
Language of New Law.
When, however, Congress passed
the Price Control Act of Oc-
tober 2, 1912, the President i'm
mediately seized on the language
in the new law which said the
President was authorized to adj
Just wages or salaries whenever
he found it necessary Ito correct
gross inequities and also aid in
the effective prosecution of the
war" He construed this as Civ
ing him authority to limit and
to cut down salaries to S25 900
although during the debate in
Congress 1t had been said ex-
pressly that no such authority
over salaries was included. The
President said he had the At
torney General pass upon the
legality Of his order before he
issued it.
Congress, however, saw red
when the order was issued. IL
maintained that the President
was usurping its powers. Since
the November elections-and the
consequent reduction in the
number of New Deal members
in House and Senate-the deter
mination to do away with the
Presidential decree on salaries
has grown.
A quick reaction on Capitol
Hill to the Presidents new pro-
posal was that he was seeking to
place the opponents of his eX-
ecutive order In the position of
defending salaries and other
incomes higher than $4,000 net
during war times.

BY SAMUEL GRAFTON.

The new wave of "assassinat tons"
in Europe q would prefer to call
them impeachments by gunfire) is
more depressing than cheering.
Where you have individual acts OF
assassination it Is almost certain
that you do not have an organized
movement for real revolution. II I
were a dictator and knew I was
hated in the country I would be
worried by an absence of assaSSi-
nations. It would seem to me then
that something real in the way of
uprising was being cooked up, some
thing sober and serious and with
not time for grandstand plays.
Assassinations just don't make
revolutions, they merely make dead
hostages. 1t is profoundly inter-
esting that Radio Orange, the
Dutch broadcaSter in Holland, is
said TO have been warning Neither
landers against meaningless vio-
lence during a week in which no
less than three Dutch Quislings
have been Informally impeached at
revolver point.
What can this mean except that
anti-Nazi sentiment in the Neither
lands tas elsewhere in Europe is
unorganized, is without sufficient
contact with London, and is pro-
ceeding on its own toward a per-
haps bizarre goal of its own?
Black Hand" Limited
The Dutch underground is called
The Black Hand and is said to
have as its program the execution
Of all the members OF the Outs
lingite Mussert government. No
more meaningless program for
serious anti-NaI underground could
possibly be devised. The sabotaging
of one locomotive would be 10 times
as valuable. A five-minute slow
down in all Dutch factories working
for Hitler would be infinitely more
useful. If Radio Orange is advising
along this line then Radio Orange
is right, but the question arises:
Why can't Radio Orange get its
orders enforced? And then the
bigger question: What are the
contacts, if any, between the United
Nations and the underground in
Europe? So far the contacts seem
to be limited to admiration and
admonition.
The fact that the United Nations
have no single, central agency for
conducting the peoples side Of the
peoples war is of itself confess
sion of our profound failure to I'M
derstand the Importance of popular
action in winning the war.
And if we do not build official
contacts with Europe's new leaders,
the leaders of the underground, dur
ing the war, what contact shall we
have with them after the war? We
shall have only a vague, frightened
feeling about them, as good fell
lows, perhaps, but "terrorists," lex
tremists," not to be trusted with re-
building the continent.
Our diplomacy is shot through
with this fear, so that we start by
disdaining the people, then we leave
them to work on their own. wasting

The Political Mill
House Democratic Chiefs Predict Roosevelt
Will Lose Fight to Keep SIS, 900 Salary Limit

The President, in his letter to
Chairman Doughton, declared
that to permit higher incomes
would seriously affect the
morale of soldiers and sailors.
farmers and workers. imperiling
efforts to stabilize wages and
prices, and thereby impairing
the effective prosecution of the
war"
His opponents accuse him OF
demagoguery. They point out
that wages in this country today
are far in excess Of any ever
paid anywhere, farm prices have
gone up. and the men under
arms are better paid and better
cared for than any Army and
Navy this country has ever had.
Brought Forward by CLIO.
The CLIO brought forward the
S25 900 income limitation pro-
posal which was afterwards ap-
proved by the President and the
Treasury. High taxes for the
purpose Of raising revenue are
one thing, high taxes and legal
limitations on earnings for the
sake Of keeping earning capacity
down are quite another. The
Presidents order. preventing the
payment of salaries above a net
of $25 900, actually had the effect
of reducing revenue - reducing
estimated income tax returns by
approximately $4,000 Rea-
son for the order, therefore, must
have been social. If. as his crit
les say, the President believes
he can please labor by income
limitation. why does he not fix
the limit at 10000?
Abraham Lincoln lived in SIM
pier times. He said on one oc-
casion: prosperity is the fruit
of labor; property is desirable; is
a positive good in the world. That
some should be rich shows that
others may become rich, and
hence is just encouragement to
industry and enterprise.
l take it that it is best for all
to leave each man free to &C
Guire property as fast as he can.
Some will get wealthy. I don't
believe in law to prevent man
from getting rich; 1t would do
more harm than good"
This is still sound sense. Abra-
ham Lincoln did not believe, nor
do the present critics of the
President believe, in war profit
eering. The Disney bill to which
the President objects, prevents
war time salaries from mounting,
but it does not undertake to cut
salaries which were the result of
activities during peace times.
Unless the Ways and Means
Committee and the House exper-
fence a change of heart. the Dis
ney bill will pass and the PreSi-
dents recommendation for tax
which would have all the effect
of writing into law his executive
order of October 3, 1912, will not
be reported from the Ways and
Means Committee. That COM
mittee is at work on a tax bill,
and it is expected that amend
ments will be made increasing
the income tax rates even beyond
what they are today. But they
were coming anyway.

But the NaH general staff Is

that TNlnisia has become the

Hitler and his military advisors

stall the Allies and take the Of

The Axis forces in that area
are estimated at about 100000

questionably comprises the supply
services. In view of the fact that
we are preparing our North

Southern Europe, the supply
services naturally are much
larger in number than those of

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The present attacks Of Nazi
forces In Tunisia are regarded as
a dress rehearsal for the real
operations which, 1t is believed
In Washington, will begin early
next month.
For the time being, only A few
units of Marshal Erwin Rommels
Afrika Korps have been identi-
fed in the engagements which
have taken place since Sunday.
The two divisions employed by
the Germans consist mostly of
forces belonging to Gen. Won
Arnim's army, mostly veterans
Of the 1910 campaign with
sprinkling of troops from the
reserves OF the Russian front.
The hssty withdrawal of the
Axis forces In Russia indicates
a complete change in NaI
strategy.
According to Allied military
experts, the German high COM
mand had intended until early
in January TO hold a defensive
line on the eastern front ex-
tending roughly from Leningrad
to Rostov.
Shorter Line to Defend.
The Nazis were expected to
hibernate along that line. bring
further reinforcements and start
campaign against the Cauca-
sian oil fields this spring. Hitler
was reported by usually reliable
sources as planning to make
third and last attempt to conquer
Russia by denying the Soviet
Armies the Caucasian oil sup
plies.
The powerful punch OF the
Red forces. together with the
increasing strength OF the Allies
were concentrating in England
and North Africa, Is believed
here to have caused a complete
change in the German strategy
which appears now to be one
Of holding the Russian forces
on a much shorter line ex-
tending from Riga to Odessa.
This means that Germans will
give up a large section of the
Ukraine and remain on the de-
fensiye in the East.
The new line presents the ad-
vantage OF being so much shorter
that it can be held with only 40
per cent Of the effective used BY
the Axis last year. A maximum
OF go divisions Is all that is re-
quired to maintain defensive
position in Russia. The Soviet
forces will be at a disadvantage
because OF the long lines OF
communications between their
bases and the eventual new front.
Such strategy would free some
140 Axis divisions for operations
on other fronts.
Hitler is fully aware that IN
spite Of the tremendous difficult
ties confronting the Allies they
will make serious attempt to
land an important expeditionary
force in Europe this year.
The forces covering the entire
western boundaries from Narvik
to the Spanish borders must,
under the circumstances, be
strongly reinforced with ample
divisions in reserve ready to be
