 DIPLOMACY
 I5 SLIPPING
British Postwar Policies Funetioning While U.
 5. Has No Policy

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA criti- cal report of British commercial and diplomatic activities may be laid before the Senate by members
 d i've man inspection committee, just returned from a 10000 mile trip of the worlds battlefronts.
 While the committee members de- clined to discuss the publicity phase, indications are they feel that American diplomacy economic ac- tivity is falling far behind the British.
 The gist of their complaint is reported that the British postwar policies are already functioning in practical way while American representatives are at a loss to know what this nations attitude is to the many important world ques- tions when fighting is over.

Continued from Page One) Use of the March Is simplified tax forms is now limited to persons with incomes of not more than $3,000. If those with incomes up to 5000 were allowed to use such a form, several million persons would get some relief from the tax-figuring heebie- -jeebies.
 Washington tax authorities are also studying a proposal to combine the Victory tax with the income tax, doing away with the complicated figuring of different exemptions and postwar credits on Victory tax.
 Another proposed "simplifier" is the elimination of earned income credit. One idea is to compensate for it's ablishment by fixing surtax rates at lower levels in low income brackets.
 All this may be scant consolation for folks who face a probable in- crease in taxes of some kind next year, but even the smallest relief is something these days.

That scheme fell through because
Ickes didn't want TO make the Shift.
The result is that McNutt has been
left to struggle with a problem for
which some of his most sympathetic
critics say he is not fitted. He has
been unable to obtain an efficient

are still vacant-others are said to

u. ). Back
Of Farmers
In War Effort

According to announcement by l.
r. Staples, chairman OF Lincoln
County USDA War Board, farmers
with a capacity to produce essen
tiar. crops may now call on the
newly appointed loan representa-
tive of the Board for funds to IL
nance that PRODUCTION. The borrow
er. according to Staples, will be per-
sonally liable for the full amount
OF the loan, which will be retired
from proceeds of the crop. But II
he has proceeded with the produc-
4ion bv use of sound agricultural
rractices and still finds that re-
turns have not balanced the orig
Snal investment advanced him by
the war board, he will not be re-
Snonsible for the amount he went
behind
..Thus.' according to Staples, !
can saw that the Department of Az
riculture is going to stand squarely
behind any or all who are Wiling
to 90 about for production. If you
do your best, and liquidate your
debt. the whole country is ahead by
the transaction. because you have
contributed valuable war crops. IN
the other hand. if you do your best,
and still 60 in the hole, you won
be made to suffer for your patriotic
atempt'
Staples points out that this pro-
cedure should be welcome to many
farmers, particularly since il comes
on the heels of other recent an
nouncements to the effect that goais
on certain vital war crops tdry
bean and peas, potatoes) have been
raised from 20 to SO per cent.
SAYS Staples We know when we
ask for these crops in such quaint
ties we are asking farmers to IL
crease the element of risk facing
them. Consequently the government
is providing several ways OF help
ing balance that risk. First, we are
offering these so-called incentive
payments, although | don't like that
phrase In actually, We are offering
to pay producers who undertake al
least 80 per cent and up TO ITO pei
cent of their goal for portion o.
the added risk, higher labor cost
and SO on, that they will face y.
this patriotic cooperation.
Essential crops which the wa
board will accept as basis for pro
sduction loans in Montana are: fla'
seed, Irish potatoes where the farm
goal is three acres or more Or,
beans and dry peas (cxcludlnl
,wrinkled varieties, except Whel
grown for seed under contracU. l
addition, the following vegetable
for processing or sale fresh are cor
sidered essential: tomatoes, sna
beans, lima beans, peas, and cal
rots. These, for processing only, ri
considered essential cabbage, sWet
corn, and table beets.
Whether or not the borrower n
honestly and diligently attempts
to raise the crops upon which loa
was extended will be determine
by the county war board, accorc
ing to Mr.. Staples.

Noxi Communicated
Indicate Neu Status

When Hitler failed to appear or
even to speak to his unseen audience
on the tenth anniversary Of his &C
cession to power, it was only natural
that many people felt that this was
part OF the peace offensive which
it was known the Reich was prepar-
ing. The unconditional surrender
conference" at Casablanca was sup
posed to have pretty well quashed
the Nazi peace drive but apparently
the Reich still has hopes.
Wher | learned that Goering and
not Hitler was delivering the GRAFTON
OF the day. two pictures flashed
vividly into my mind-one ! wit
messed personally in September,
1899, from the Press Gallery OF
Reichstag and the other was de-
scribed to me. The latter is said
to have taken place in the famous
hunting lodge OF Goering, outside OF
Berlin. A millionaire American
manufacturer sat with him. 1t was
not long before Pearl Harbor The
American had a peace drive of his
own. He outlined it to Goering. 1t
was this: Get rid of Hitler, set up
a more liberal government, agree to
get out of France If England will
make peace.
The man to do the job, Goering.
The fee, one million dollars.
According to my informant, Goer-
ing was willing but the scheme was
never put through.
Names Goering, Hess
The other scene was the occasion
of Hitler's announcement that he
| had invaded Poland. 1t was then
that he declared that he was going
to the front and that If anything
happened to him, he had decided
that his successor would be his air
marshal, who sat at the Reichstag
presidents desk, respondent in one
1 of his musical comedy uniforms
And, said the fuehrer, if anything
happened to Goering, Hess would be
the second choice. The solemn anc
lanky Hess, dressed in the brown
uniform of the party, rose ant
saluted as had the grinning Goering.
Hess, when things didn't 60 &C
cording to his wishes, painted hi:
toenails, and took wings for England
There has been comment in Wash
