grabbed Leona's hand and pulled
her through a side door. For a
moment no one realized what was
hsppening and then 1t dawned on
the boys that Santa was fleeing
before he had finished the job.
Like a pack of hounds they were
after him with n bedlam of noise.
After them poured Ferdy, his
aunt. Fay and Ross to herd them
back. They were pouring outside
without any of their coats and
rubbers and they would catch
their deaths of cold.
Beano swept Leona into his
arms and dashed to the garage.

Taxes Versus Initiation

The Presidents original statement OF
the way to beat initiation still remains
the best summary ever made. 1t was pre-
sented April 81, 1912. 1t called for seven
steps: (1) Heavy taxation to hold down
personal and corporate profits; ~
price ceilings; (3) wage sterilization;
az farm price sterilization; (5) war
bond sales; (6) rationing of scarce COM
modities; CD encouragement of credit
buying, encourage cement of debt retire
ment and savings. This discussion con-
Germs itself with Numbers l and - tax
alton and war bond sales. These are
designed for the double-barreled purpose
of financing the war and siphoning off
excess money which, if used in the COM
modify market, would promote initiation.
The simple way of stating the problem
is to say that, there being $45, 5000, 100000
too much money, all we need do is borrow
and tax $45, 00O,OOO,OOO, which would
leave just enough money to pay normal
prices for the available goods. Follow
ing this line, Congress would merely de-
wise combination of tax and compulsory
savings policy which would take from
each person his share of the excess S45,-
OOO,OOO,OOO To an extent that is what
tax plans thus far have had as goal. But
there is WNeTe JIle real IIOuDle OcSl1S.
What is any mans fair Stare of the S45,--
100000, 900 that needs to be taken out OF
circulation?
If everybody had been employed when
the war program began, and everybody.s
salary or wage Cor income from DIVIDENDS
and interest) had risen by standard
percentage, practicable if hard-boiled
method could be found. There were,
however, millions out of work in 1889
who now are earning good wages. There
were millions employed at subsistence
levels who now are prosperous. There are
many millions, actually who are
earning not one penny more now than
they were in 1889. Some receive less.
Thus the buying power of somewhere be-
tween 10 and Is million Americans has
skyrocketed; the buying power of perhaps
as many more has increased greatly, but
that OF third big group has decreased.
We can't, justly tax the group which
has actually lost in purchasing power as
heavily as that which has profited enorm-
ously from war employment. So we veer
toward an excess income tax, to take
away profits that have arisen out of the
war program. That is what the Treas
ury is discussing now.

A Thought for Today
All About What We're Going
to Wear

Donald NJ Nelson has presented a six
point clothing program which will ease
The minds OF many According to his
plan there would be no need for ration
ing clothes for the duration Whether or
not this will deter ladies from sudden
onslaughts on wearables is not certain,
but at any rate this program brings a
message OF cheer.
Mr. Nelson says: 1--WE need not have
clothes rationing in the United States
There is an adequate supply of textiles
and textile products to meet all military
and civilian needs. The major problem
is to see that the proper distribution and
use is made" One feature of the in
tended program would be an acceleration
of low priced clothing, and another the
encouragement of the buying of unneeded
clothing.
AS regards the unneeded clothing you
might say we have gradually become a
nation of buyers. So much was there and
$50 attractively priced" as the saleslady
often tells you that it seemed almost
sinful not to snap up the bargains. Thus
the majority bought from season to sea-
son lots more than they needed 1t
seemed the economical thing to do. "I'll
have it for next year." you said as you
bought just few more of this and that.
Sensational buying and selling has be-
come a part of our American way OF
living. Perhaps it needs some discour
agement, but buying and selling need
encouragement as well, so perhaps a
happy medium can be reached to the
good of all At any rate if there is no
definite rationing of clothing it will be
joyful news to the average American.

Mine Report

The American Rolling Mill Company
informs shareholders of experience in
it's Nellis, w. Va, mine, where 256 United
Mine Workers are employed. During
the month of April only 106 of these
troubled to work full time, in spite of the
company's efforts to get out maximum
of black diamonds.
OF 127 lower-paid men, Al who troubled
to work full time averaged $211.42 for the
month, but Sc, who did not, averaged
only $140.39.
After so-called occupational deductions
averaging $194 a month, and after union
dues, rent, fuel, electricity, medical and
hospital costs, Victory and Social Secur-
ity taxes and purchase installments, the
men received 80 per cent of their wages
IN cash.

Boomerang

To prevent Hollanders from listening to
Allied broadcasts, Nazi authorities ordered
that all privately-owned radio sets be
turned in. Severe penalties we're imposed
for failure to comply The Huns were in
earnest because, they said, "radios are a
strong and dangerous weapon in the
hands of the Dutch"
The net result is that the weak and
the compliant, who gave up their radios,
cannot be reached by the Nazis over the
air. The strong, the clever, the defiant,
who hid radios, still listen to London. Max

AIRLINE EXPANSION
New York TimeS)

There are healthy signs that COM
mercial air transport is taking steps
to prepare for the inevitable ex-
pension of the business of carrying
passengers, mail and cargo which is
certain to come at the close of the
war. Applications have been filed
in recent weeks by Northeast Air
lines for a helicopter service and
also by the Greyhound Bus Lines
for taxi service using the helicopter
Now American Airlines has filed
with the Civil Aeronautics Board
applications for certificates of con-
venience and necessity which would
greatly expand its already wide
spread system and bring many new
cities in New York, Ohio, Texas,
Kentucky and other States into the
network of direct communication on
its lines.
This company expresses its belief
that it Is necessary now for the
lines to improve their facilities by
providing through service and by
taking short cuts in order to save
time and permit lower passenger
fares and express charges, wherever
the volume of potential traffic war
rants, in order to be ready to meet
the demand which they know will
be put upon them after the war.
This is a philosophy of progress that
squares with all the indicated facts

Subcontracting

1t is of the big prime contractors that
we heard when planes, ships, tanks, guns
are under discussion. We praise the
wonderful records they have made and
are making, and are proud of the way
the American economy has responded to
war demands.
But behind these giant corporations,
making possible their almost incredible
feats, stand scores of thousands of rela-
lively small, little publicized sub-con-
tractors, from whose plants pour endless
supplies of gadgets, doohickies and what
nots.
This is emphasized by recent survey
in which General Motors Corporation,
perhaps the greatest of the prime con-
tractors, found that it was depending
for material and parts upon 1875
smaller concerns-its partners in pro-
ductOn."

form overall Federal regulation is indis-
pensable in the interest of public safety

1t is imperative that any bill passed
should provide against the arbitrary use
of centralized power which would limit
the use of property in way that would
amount to confiscation by destroying its
value, without compensation. Certainly
these problems can and will be met in
necessary legislation providing for the

History will no doubt record that
the sinking of the Robin Moor in
May, 1941, was the first overt act
of Germany against the United
States in World War II. That Ger

nowledge that she sank her, or
that it would have been an overt
act If she had, is what, at least
in the light of hindsight, one should
have expected of the Hitlerian
Reich. We would have been starry

Regulation With Justice

The fact that we have the outstanding
civilian air transport lines of the world
which overnight were largely diverted to
war work for the armed forces, under
civilian management, was of incalculable
=slue to our government in it's greatest
crisis.
With the Importance of aviation cata-
pulated to the forefront by war, Congress
now has before it bill to modernize our
legislation affecting civil aeronautics. OF
fundamental Importance is the provision
for uniform regulation OF air navigation
and commerce throughout the nation
under Federal jurisdiction.

record as having no intention to de-
stroy the priceless relics of Chris
tianity centered in and about the
Vatican and radiating throughout
the whole of Italy.
Freedom of religious worship
fundamental to the existence of our
nation, forever enshrinned in the

Roosevelt and Mr.. Churchill in the
