Text of Morgenthou's Tax Statement
Declares Many Proposals Have Been Studied for New
Sources Of Revenue; Avoids Arbitrary Recommendation

A condensed tert OF Secretary
OF the Treasury Moroenthau's
statement to the House Ways and
Means Committee calling for in
creased revenues to meet Uar.
costs tollo,Ds.:
Because of the huge cost of the
war. 1t is necessary for us to ask
for great deal of money. We need
1t. and the time to get it is now
when the national income is the
highest it has ever been.
The budget for the fiscal year 1914
calls for s106,O00,OOO 900 in expendi-
lures. And while it may be posi-
ble-and I hope it is-to curtail
some governmental expenditures,
even that will not lessen our need
for getting at this time all that the
American people can possibly give
us in additional taxes.
The additional taxes for which we
are going to ask will make it neces-
sary for people to take in their
belts. But the cold. hard facts of
fiscal necessity demand it. We know
by now that our willingness to spend
the necessary funds, no matter how
large, has had and will continue to
have a definite effect on the lives
of our men in battle. The superior
fighting equipment which we have
produced and bought has been ex-
pensive, but it will shorten the war
and will save the lives of thousands
Of American fighting men.
The money that is expended to
help our Allies keep the enemy en-
gagged on dozens of fronts all over
the world also saves untold lives and
helps shorten the war. -
Must Recognize Limits.
We must raise great deal of ad-
ditlonal money for financing the
war and combating imitation, and
vet in doing it we cannot overlook
the fact that there is point be-
yond which some people of mod
crate means cannot pay higher
taxes of any sort and still keep a
family going. There is a point be-
yond which they cannot meet the
tax bills and still maintain a stand
ard of living which will permit them
to continue to help in the effective
prosecution of the war
am telling you this to empha-
size the fact that the Treasury De-
partment has not arbitrarily set
down a figure as the amount to be
raised, without regard to the prob
lens which exist, and which must

Deny News Of
Negroes Is Now
Being Censored
Byron Price
Answers Query
Made By NAACP

WASHINGTON, D. G. -(SNS)-
Byron Price, director of y. >. cen,
sorship, answering an NAACP que
nv about the barring OF senolng
from the United States news re-
garding Negro and white relations
said this week that the Bureau OF
censorship had made no sucn RUE
and that news about Negroes is
sent from the United States con-
stantly but that censorship authora-
ties have sometimes suppressed
inflammatory utterances regarding
racial and religious conflict simply
because of desire to withhold this
material from the enemy
"Here at home" said Mr.. Price,
Eve understand the situation and
there is no barrier to free express
sion. The enemy not only does not
understand it but finds it prime
ammunition for promotion Of his
divide and conquer propaganda. I"
The NAACP had also charged
that persons in foreign countries
had been receiving American mag
azines and periodicals with all arti-
Giles dealing with the problem of
the Negro in America clipped from
them. Mr.. Price stated that under
instructions issued some months
ago no news stories on this SUBJ
ject or any other, which have had
general publication are clipped
from outgoing publications.

IN housing improvement:
"In 1887 the United States Gov

tide decent homes for poor people
Of the 121 500 homes contracted
for in city aneas, approximately
l0,600 are or will be occupied by

On the subject Of the Negro in

There were about 10000 Negro

The Globe IrOtter Bv cuff Maeke,

In the same vein, passage OF a
federal antilynching bill becomes
a war measure of the first inn
portance. The enactment Of this
badly needed legislation will make
real for thousands of people liV-
ing in constant terror of mob vlo-
lence the third freedom-freedom
from fear. Tt will cause an inn
mediate resurgence Of the will-to-
win the hearts of our people
anxious to contribute their share
in the victory effort.
These two bills are truly the
testing rods of the 18th con-
gress. They will serve as 8term-
inants as to whether or not
our legislators have finally
discovered the broad implica-
lions of this fight for freedom
implications that transcend
narrowly drawn national bound
aries and arrogantly conceived
racial theories.
Their passage or defeat becomes
the trial balloons, letting the WorId
know fully in advance the kind of
peace the millions who have been
promised freedom may expect. Un-
less it is a peace that accords full
recognition of human brotherhood,
that guarantees self-rule and ra-
cial equality to all people, that
abrogates the principle of white
supremacy and imperialistic bigo-
try, it will not be a peace of long
duration.
MUST EARN VICTORY TITLE
Only after it has risen to the
challenge of fashioning a perma-
nent, lasting peace after the Axis
armies have been defeated, car
the 18th congress rightfully lay
claim to the honor of being called
the victory congress" if it
fails in the tremendous task ahead,
the thousands of young men, black
and white, who are sacrificing their
lives the world over in the struggle
for freedom will have certainly
died in vain.

TESTING Rods Of The New Congress

of India, if conservatives of E1fg-
land could prevent it, would never
taste the sweet nectar of free
dom: that Singapore imperial
ism would be restored just as
soon as the military power OF the
Axis could be overwhelmed.
BID TO ISOLATIONISTS
It was bid, too, TO the deep
rooted, but for the past year silent,
isolationist forces in America to
bestir themselves. 1t began the
growing movement of the forces
which would sabotage the peace,
lust as was. done after World War
I, to gang up in Single-purpoSe
drive against the Wallaces, the
WILKES, the LuceS, the Bucks and
the Roosevelts.
The great responsibility of
determining whether this new
Congress shall be one that de-
serves high place in history
as the victory congress, or
whether it will go down ignOm-
iniOusiy as the group of
Americans who lost the peace,
rests solely in the hands of the
men and women who hold
seats in this body.
Surely they must realize that
winning the war is not enough. The
greater achievement comes in the
writing of the peace. Clearly the
Wallaces, the WILKES, the Welles
and the Bucks have pointed the
way to lasting peace. Not until
after the 18th congress has proved
that it can rise to the supreme
challenge laid down by these phoph-
cts of the future, can it honest
ly deserve the title OF victory con-
gress.'
The opportunity to prove that
they are equal to the challenge of
fashioning permanent peace is
happily enough theirs even before
the war is wen.
CAN REBUILD FAITH
They can by it's immediate pas
sage repair the untold damage to
world faith in America Wreaked by
the 77th congress when it permit
ted fascist-lninded Southern sena-
tors to defeat the Geyer-Pepper
anti-poll tax bill.
The action Of its members on
this measure more SO than any
other it will consider will prove
the ability of the 18th congress
to rise to the supreme challenge
of greatness demanded by this
most turbulent period in Anne.
rican history.
Abolition of the poll tax in a
single stroke will prove to the mil
lions Of oppressed all over the
world that America has not only
promised the Four Freedoms fol-
every nation and every race every
where, 1t has the most solemn de-
termination to make these promis-
