We Should Try To Stop 1T
Cincinnati Enquirer

With great satisfaction we note that the Allied
governments beginning to recognize and consider
the almost ndescribable plight of the Jews of Europe
under the heel of Adolf Hitler and his heartless
Nazs
The United states Senate has adopted unan-
nousy resolution presented by its majority leader,
Alben w. Barley of Kentucky 'eondeinning as un-
worthy of any nation any regime which pretends
to be civilized" the brutal and ndeensible outrages
against millions of helpless men, women, and chill
dren.' The resolution, which is expected to meet
with prompt concurrence in the House of Represen-
tatives, goes to that the dictates of h-
mainly and honorable conduct in war demand that
this nexcusabe slaughter (of more than 100000
Jews in Europe and mistreatment shall cease and
that it is the sense of this Congress that those
guilty directly and indirectly, shall be held account
able and punished in manner commensurate with
the offenses."
We can only guess how effective such denun-
citation and threat of punishment will be in lettering
the Nazis from their wanton slaughter and persecu
ton of the European Jews. But the action is well
even if only phase of Allied attention to
the tragic problem 1t follows similar resolutions by
Parliament and precedes an American Canadian
conference in Ottawa to consider the subject.
more direct relief move would be preferable, if
one is possible or practicable The Nazis might be
willing to yield at least some of their Jewish cap
tives to Allied mercy mission working through
such acknowledgement nations Turkey Spain, and
Sweden. This is perhaps more feasible plan than
any attempt to brighten the Nazis into stopping their
CHASTITY pogrom.
There is no doubt whatever as to the authenticity
of wholesale murder of Jews by the Germans. They
have been starved shot, gassed, killed by planned
disease and tortured to death with hideous cruelty
The figure of 100000 Jewish men, women, and
children already dead at the hands of the Huns is
probably conservative, and in his most recent proc
amation Hitler has asserted that he will "nquidate
the Jewish problem" throughout Europe
Perhaps there is nothing that the civilized world
do to stop Hitler and his Huns from completing
this CHASTITY undertaking. But in Gods name We
ought to be found trying.

This ability in overseas trade de-

heritage with Farrell. HIS father
John Guy Farrell. a native Of Dub

States in .i64s and was successfully

owner. In the third capacity be

voyages he took young Jim with
him. But in :1878 the elder Farrell
sailed his ship into the Caribbean
and vessel and crew vanished
Many years later the son OF this
seafarer revived the family tradi-
ton as owner Of the "Tusitala," the
last ,clipper ship engaged IN active
trade.
The disappearance of the Monte

cause Of turning young Jim Farrell

Takes Mans Work
Naturally, he sought his first en-
ploymeflt in his native city so that
he could remain at home. Having
made up his mind to undertake a
mans work rather than a boys job,
he entered the mill OF the New
Haven Wire Company as laborer
at A.65 a week. Young as he was,
the twelve. hours OF manual toll
every day did not dampen his ardor
for study. He not only read to
improve his general knowledge but
drew maps from memory, inserting
the principal cities, rivers and sea-
ports.
Applying himself diligently to
sthe work in hand as a laborer, Mr..
Farrell constantly kept hisseye on
the Job just ahead. He improved
his scant opportunities as mill la

I'VE HAVE before us a plain
w case of larceny from mil
lions of citizens of all income
brackets m m I I e d by the
treasury. apparently with the
knowledge and approval Of Sec
retary Morgenthau and certainly
on his responsibility.
In passing the 5 per cent VIC
tory tax. Congress said unmis-
takably that it was TO be a tax
on l943 income.
Yet the treasury department,
in violation Of the Will and in
tent of Congress, and of the law,
has usurped the congressional
legislative power and decided
that all pay checks for the last
week or month or quarter OF
1912, delivered after midnight
last Thursday, shall be taxable
at 5 per cent even though most
OF or all the money was earned
before the first of the year.
In simple words, the treasury
decided 10 steal this money from
the people and TO make the en-
ployerS parties 10 the theft by
compelling them 70 withhold the
tax and turn II in.
THEFT is the only word for IT.
Il 1t is a bold and cynical def
ance of law and morality and an
example 10 the people Of gov
ernment by strong arm.
The millions OF individuals
who thus will be nicked for 81
or s. or more each will not have
the facilities or the time 10 fight
the treasury for the return OF
money which lawfully belongs 10
them. and the cost of fighting
each case would far exceed the
amount involved.
The total amount which will
be- stolen by this trick cannot
yet be calculated and may never
be known. and most Of the VIC
Tins Of the larceny probably
would be willing 10 give the gov
ernment that much money IL the
problem were put TO them and
they were asked 10 do so.
That, however, is beside the
point.
They were not asked 10 give
the money so as 10 spare the
treasury and their employers a
bookkeeping problem.
The treasury waited until iust
before the deadline and. when
the question was raised, decided
TO swipe the dough.

member of the finance commit
tee and thus one of the authors
OF the law, said that unques-
tlonably II applied only to pay
earned in 1943 but was willing
to concede that expediency
might Justify the theft by the
treasury.
But if eXpediency permits the
treasury To steal from the citi-
zenS, expediency must also
Justify the citizen in stealing
from the treasury If he can.
The fact is that expediency
JuStifieS nothing of either kind.
If employers generally had
been put on notice. they could
have made arrangements TO
reckon the pay checks in time
to make an emergency pay day.
but even that should not have
been necessary.
The plain fact is that money
earned and due al the end of
1912 was not subject 10 this
tax and that the 5 per cent
collected Of such money repre-
sentS not taxation but larceny.

For steering a similar inquiry IN New York, Thomas

OUTSIDE Michigan it is safe to say hundreds of per-
