ping from under his feet and is
urging with every argument at
his disposal that the Allies should
come to his rescue at once.
The NaZi Fuehrer is ready to
throw the bulk of his German
forces against the Russians. His
general staff is said to believe
this one last punch, if success
full, might eliminate the Rus
SLAMS as direct menace to the
Reich. The Germans strategy,
however, seems to be predicated
on the Allies doing nothing this
summer across the Channel
From available reports the
Allies are able to obtain from
the Reich, the Nazi high COM
mand does not believe the Nazis
and their satellites could stand
the strain of war on two fronts
for more than a few months.
DOHluihS odpS olICHStH.
Should the Nazis be confronted
with determined attack from
the Americans and British
across the Channel this year. all
hopes for stalemate and its
inevitable corollary. a negotiated
peace, would fade into thin air.
The round-the -cloci. bombings
are serious. They are undermin-
ing the Nazi power of resistance
and are seriously interfering with
production. But, according to
competent observers. it would
take some time-at least another
year-before our air blows will be
really telling The Nazis are re-
ported taking 9 ShOrt-range
viewpoint on the war. They
reckon on saving what still could
be saved in the next few months
and are determined to throw the
bulk of their forces against Rus
Sia regardless of the damage
from the air.
The German high command
is aware that the trip across the
Atlantic Of the British strategy
trainers was not a JOY ride to see
what Washington looks like
From the length of the convcr-
sations between the joint chiefs
OF staff, it is obvious to them
that momentous and final deci-
sions have been taken.
Fear Western Attack.
The Germans probably hope
the Allies will continue to nib
bic at the fringes of the Euro
pean fortress. but are gravely
concerned over a possible attack
against Western Europe even
though they realize that prepara-
tions for such dangerous opera
ton have not yet been COM
pleted.

campaign with its great potentiali-
ties for European invasion and also
the casing Of transportation diff
cultles to the East, certainly no
failure can be charged.
On the contrary, the results have
been such as to strengthen conf
dence in both Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr..
Churchill as military strategists.
Under these conditions, they are en-
titled to full support. Under these
conditions, their judgment should be
accepted.
There is not to say that Senators
and others have no right to ques-
ton military policies as we'll as any
other. 1t does not mean that they
must follow blindly bad military
leaders. 1t does mean that so long
as these leaders are successful there
exists every reason for support, none
for heckling or holding back.
If those who are urging that the
strategy be switched so as to make
the crushing of Japan our first OBJ
JectlVe were in possession of either
facts OF arguments which Roosevelt
and Mr.. Churchill lack or have not
heard. there would be substance and
force to their contentious.
But such, clearly. is not the case.
All the facts and all the arguments
have been considered by the two
heads of state and their military
chieftains Certainly better in
formed than the critics of their
policies, they made their decision
and are to be congratulated on not
weakening.
Demoralizing to Yield.
To weaken now under pressure
would be demoralizlng. II would
diminish confidence in the tirmness
of their character and the sound
ness of their Judgment And to ask
them to alter their course in the

In the matter Of military strategy

Mr.. Roosevelt wholly agree about
this was made clear by Mr..
Churchill in his magnificent speech
last Wednesday, when he outlined
the war situation and the reasons
for the decision with a candor,
clarity and completeness which
neither the American Congress nor
the American people have had from
their own leaders.
When to his presentation of the
| unareuable truth that while the
defeat OF Japan would not mean

Germany would ruin Japan, is
added the Prime Minister'S un-
equivocal pledge that Great Britain
will take her place beside the
United States in 'unstinting and
relentless war against Japan while
there is breath in our bodies and
blood flows through our veins" =
that would seem enough to satisfy
all save the most unreasonab BILE
critics.
Senate Move May Do Harm.
The inspired senatorial effort.
which is still being continued. to
compel a change in Allied military
strategy cannot be justified and
may do harm. 1t is gratifying that
the President and Mr.. Churchill
show no signs of being affected.
The fact is that this drive to force
change in military strategy is
wrong for the same basic reason
the recent drive of the WPB to
take away from the Army its au-
thorlty over munition production
contracts was wrong
The only justification of the lat
ter would have been failure of the
Army to measure up. If it had
begged down on the job. then in
slStence on change would have
had weight behind it. But the
WPB effort failed because of over
Whelming evidence that in the mat
ter of munitions and supplies the
Army had an outstanding record
and was far better equipped by
knowledge and experience for this
particular service than the civilian
heads who proposed to take it over.
In larger way, the same reason
ing applies to the movement to
compel modification of the Roose-
velt-Churchill military strategy. #
in this field under these leaders. our
arms had suffered reverses and mis-
takes had clearly been made. there
would, indeed, be merit in the areu-
ments for change. But. in face

Consideration for Earned Income Might Provide
Solution to Pay You-Go Tax Imposse

takes away the accumulation OF
his past years earnings.
The President does not want
the remission of taxes for the
very rich. If Congress would
consider the differences in types
of income, perhaps solution
could be found.
The highest incomes, which
furnish the highest proportional
taxes. are not earned incomes.
They are incomes from interest
and dividends on invested wealth.
Nobody in the United States
earns 100000 a year by his
own energies, though number
derive incomes to that amount
from inherited or accumulated
wealth. Under the taxes of the
last 10 years, not the highest
salary permits a man to save"
a fortune. If he has one he has
gotten it by inheritance, specu-
lation or profits.
Chance to Catch up.
sec no reason for a pay-as-
you-go arrangement for incomes
derived from capital investments.
for they continue regardless of
tie fate OF the person. But
everybody working for a living,
whether his work brings him
$4,000 or 100000 a year, ought,
at long last, to be given a chance
to catch up with the sheriff.
Decent, responsible Americans
are made miserable and wretched
by the weight of debts. They
don't mind paying taxes, but
they find the presence of con-
tinual sword over their heads
intolerable. They want to be able
to balance their budgets at the
end OF every year. Under the
present system, the fear of i'll
ness, which might incapacitate
them for six months or a year,
becomes neurotic in its intensity,
for such an illness would be an
unmitigated financial catastro-
phe
Except for money deriving
from taxes on interest and divi-
dends, the Treasury would lose
nothing from the adoption of a
pay-as-you-go plan, except. in
the future. that last few dollars
collected, like a ghoul, over the
corpse Of the defunct American.
If it wants to collect that, it can
raise the inheritance taxes.
Would Quiet Discomfort.
Even the best patriot, what
ever his economic class. always
has to convince himself that
taxes are necessary. To make
the tax system more rational
and transparent by connecting
1t immediately with the earning
OF the monev-so much for me.
and so much for the Govern
ment-would greatly quiet dis
content. 1t would unburden pre-
cisely that part of the popula-
ton who create the wealth of
America, namely the workers.
whether they work for small
salaries or whether their talents
and energies earn them large
ones.
Then. at long last, we might
change the phrase. as sure as
death and taxes" to "as sure as
life and taxes" We could look
toward serenely, to working and
paying. and dying solvent.

relatively only a handful of peo-
PIE paid income taxes. Most of
those bearing very high taxes de-
rived their incomes from invest
ments, industrial shares OF in
dustrial, banking Or Government
bonds. 1t made little difference
to them whether that income
was taxed in the year following
the one in which it had been re-
ceived.
Men with large capital assets
could always meet the tax COL
lector's bills. If necessary they
could borrow the money. In the
worst case they could liquidate
sufficient capital to meet the
debt
In Debt to Government.
But today millions are paying
taxes who have no capital They
pay out of earned income. wheth-
er wages. salaries or professional
fees. For all of them, whether
their wages or salaries are mod
est, or whether they are high.
the present system is one which
keeps them permanently in debt
to the Government.
1t is impossible for them ever
to catch up with the tax collector.
They cannot afford to retire, fall
i'll or die If they die, whatever
savings may be left to pay their
funeral expenses and tide over
their families are impounded for
past taxes. And they can never
get ahead enough to provide for
a few years of old age
This is especially true for per-
sons earning very high incomes.
For the law taxes the income a
man derives from the expendi-
ture of his energies, which is
only capital in the same pro-
portion as it taxes the income
which another derives from prop
erty. in spite of the fact that
the property, with luck. pays
whether he lives or dies. whether
he is sick or we'll, whether he is
young or enfeebled by old age.
Solution Possible.
Nobody can endow his, widow
or minor children with the tai
ents and experience out of the
use of which he earns a living
and supports them. For a pro-
fesslonal man. artist. writer,
executive Or worker, to die is
family catastrophe in the
material sense. And under the
present taxation system. the

Perhaps, as in 1920, the tendency
OF the isolationists will be to claim
they are backed by majority senti-
ment when the true reason again
will be the reputation by the people
OF a domestic administration. Thus
Mr.. Roosevelt, like President Wilson.
has bungled domestic problems in
wartime and is unwittingly prepar-
ing the way for the downfall of his
party and the collapse of his own
long-range peace and postwar
policies.
Evening star., 1943-05-24

The whole situa ion is just max
ing votes for the Republicans in
1914. For even if Mr.. Roosevelt is
elected again. the chances are the
protest vote will increase the BIZ
partisan majority against him in the
next Congress. In the end those of
us who since 1918 have consistently
advocated international cooperation
policies and fought the isolationist
viewpoint in foreign policy will see
hostile majority ii Congress once
more
