been told in solemn phrases that the
Treasury needs the money, that the
Ruml plan is windfall for the tax
payers, and that it is wrong in every
sense for the Treasury to lose" sew.
eral billions of dollars.
Now comes the Treasury spokes-
man before the Senate Finance
Committee and says it is all right to
cancel $7,23S, 600. 900, as would be
accomplished under the Robertson
Forand bill, but it isn't all right to
cancel 100000, which is what
the Ruml-Carlson plan would do.
Just why the principle of forgive
ness or abatement" Or "skip-a-
year" is approved by the Treasury
for taxpayers owing s7,238 900 900
but not for taxes totaling ss.31s,-
100000 is little difficult to under
stand. The only explanation given,
of course, is that the extra billion
might possibly treat certain success
full, thrifty American citizens on the
same basis as those who also are
thrifty and successful, but who hap
pen to obtain a somewhat lesser in
come.
Must Protect Minority.
Discrimination between citizens
on the basis of capacity to pay is
a fundamental principle of taxation,
but when the Government dispenses
its favors, it should treat all citizens
alike lest 1t be charged that the
favors are dispensed to those with
the most votes.
To protect the minority against
discrimination is essential in a con-
etitutional system, especially during
wartime. When the Government
asks for the sons of its citizens to
be offered as the supreme sacrifice.
it doesn't make any discrimination
between its citizens. 1t asks them
all to share alike the burdens of
wartime.
The pay-as-you-go plan was
brought forward as means Of
putting everybody on current
basis and thus actually increasing
the amount of money coming into
the Treasury this year. But now
1t appears that the pay-as-you-g
plan will apply only to persons In
lower income brackets and that
those in the upper brackets will be
compelled to stay year behind un-
less they happen to have the re-
sources available to become current
at once.
Class Bitterness Stirred.
The present administration has
sowed the seeds Of class war in
America. 1t has stirred hate and
bitterness as has no other admins
tration in all American history.
Even in the midst of war, while it
cries out for equal sacrifices. and
appeals for national unity, it has
Its dagger out Tor those WHO happen
to be successful under the American
system of private initiative.
The principle involved in treating
all taxpayers alike when the Gov
ernnment adopts change in collec-
ton system is fundamental. Be-
cause some citizens happen to get an
advantage is no reason to compli-
cate and confuse the collection sys-
tenn. Unless America adheres to the
principle of recognizing the incen-
tive to reach the top ladder Of in
come brackets, the initiative which
must some day save America from
Stateism ana collectivism will be
swept aside by an au-powerful State.

Canada Ready To

Ottawa (JPS)-Canada will be
glad to play it's full part in assist

L. Mckenzie King told the House
of Commons. He reported that
Canada has not been invited to
the recent conference on refugees
at Bermuda and had not been ask

respect to conclusions reached
there. However, when the decis-

Nations, Canada would be ready
to act, he said.
Appeals to the Canadian gov
eminent to admit Jewish refugees
from Nazi countries have been
presented in recent weeks by the
Canadian Jewish Congress and
the United Jewish Refugee and
War Relief Agencies. T. A. Gre

HITLER PHILOSOPHY
GRIPPING SCHOOL
ROOMS

New York (JPS)-There
is a greater consciousness
of 1.-THE racial philosophy of
Hitler" in the school rooms
of the United States, it was
asserted by DR.. Stewart
Cole, director of the Bureau
of Intercultural Education,
in addressing a conference
on elementary schools in
wartime at Teachers Col
lege, Columbia University.
DR.. Cole declared that the
war has stimulated race
consciousness and "is help
ing to aggravate rather Sc
rious conditions of misunder-
standing and ill-will in our
own country"
To offset increased racial
friction, DIR. Cole said to the
educators:
1--WE must put major
stress upon those human
and cultural interests that
are distinctive in a democ-
racy and essential to all
America if we are to be-
come lone nation indivis-
ible.'

are visible in the major
cities but except for several
hundred who trickled back

POSTWAR RECONSTRUCT
TION PLAN OF PALESTINE
GOVERNMENT OPPOSED :
BY JEWS

JERUSALEM (JTA)-A reso-
luton voicing the determination
of the Jews in Palestine not to
cooperate with the Government in
it's postwar reconstruction plan,
which is considered pro-Arab and
opposed to the interests of the
Jewish population, was under dis
cussion this week at the session
of the Small Zionist Actions Com
mittee, following a three-hour adj
dress by David Ben Gurion, chair
man of the executive of the Jew
ish Agency.
Outlining his opposition to the
plan, Ben Gurion simultaneously
appealed to the Jews of the Unit
ed States to lend their maximum
support to securing the revoca-
ton of the British White Paper
which provides for the complete
cessation of Jewish immigration
to Palestine after the Spring of
next year.
The postwar reconstruction
plan of the Palestine Government
is aimed at helping only the
Arabs, and merely supplements
the White Paper, which freezes
the Jewish population in Pales-
the, preventing any further Jew
isIiA development, Ben-Gurion said.

the last group Of Jews from the

been carrying the Iewe' luggage
during their last walk through
the streets of Amsterdam" ac-
cording to an account in Neither
lands News, organ of the Neither
lands Information Bureau here.
One of the writer's is quoted as
stating: 1--WE National Socialists
stood simply stunned. Aryans
and Jews were standing side by
side at this modern Wailing Wall,
with tears in their eyes as if
ready to offer resistance to this
so-called violence against the
Jews" Another reporter said:
1--WE saw two persons who were
not wearing the Jewish Star push
ing cart not only piled with a
heap Of rubbish which was OBJ
viously intended for Poland, but
also carrying a fat Jewess. Some
Jews arrived in carriages, others
in taxis and private cars"
