OF three great Dorothy Thompson.
powers, and another potentially
great power, China, or whether
we intend to develop a genuine
system Of collective security, with
equality of rights and obligations
for all.
All official utterances pay lip
service to the second idea. The
four-power declaration, reached
between foreign ministers in
Moscow, declares that the four
powers recognize the need of es-
tablishing "at the earliest prac-
ticable date" general interna-
tional organization" based on the
principle Of sovereign equality"
of all "peace-loving" states and
open to all, great and small. It
proclaims the intention OF the
four powers to consult las occa-
sion requires" with other mem
bers of the United Nations for
the purpose Of maintaining peace
and security pending "the inau-
guration of a system of general
security"
Decisions Taken Daily.
Mr.. Welles raises the question
of whether these provisions do
not postpone indefinitely the
creation of any Executive Com
mittee representative of the
United Nations as a whole. and
whether under present conditions
these stipulations are not gravely
defective.
Actually decisions of the great
est Importance, affecting far
more than the interests of the
Big Three. or three e-and-a half,
are being taken continually. Ac-
tions speak louder than words,
and actions plus the plans and
propositions being advanced for
the postwar world all, with re-
markable consistency, indicate
that we intend to rest our hope
OF future peace wholly upon the
grand alliance.
This Is the basic proposition
OF Mr.. Walter Lippmann's book.
"A merican Foreign Policy
Shield of the Republic. This
book has, to my mind, been far
too uncritically accepted. It's re-
port on history is extremely du-
bious and its basic proposition,
which Is consequence of dis
torted historical fact, rests upon
pure wish dream.
This proposition is also the
basis of some remarks published
Friday by Gen. Smuts, Prime
Minister of the Union Of South
Africa, acting for Churchill dur
ing his absence Gen. Smuts
makes the statement that at the
end Of hostilities three OF the
five great powers of Europe will
have disappeared"-m Gaming

sive. Take, for example, the Ad-
ministration's proposals. Some
months ago, pointing out the dan
gers of imitation from the vast
quantity OF surplus wealth created
by war expenditures, Mr.. Morgen-
thau said: 1--WE know where the
bully OF this money lies. Today four
fifths of all national income is 60
ing to people earning less than
5000 a year" With this knowl-
edge, naturally one would expect
Mr.. Morgenthau to propose taxes
to reach this inf1ationary mass of
money held by the relatively un-
taxed four -f1fths.
Nothing else makes sense. Yet,
when Mr.. Morgenthaus tax pro-
posals reached Congress they were
In complete contradition to his
words. He not only moved to in
crease the burden on the one-ffth
already bearing most of it but he
moved to lessen the burden of the
four-flfths by exempting some nine
million Of them who now pay taxes.
Sales Tax Ignored.
Moreover, he ignored the one
simple. logical and fair method of
raising the revenue needed-to wit,
a general sales tax, which is op-
posed by the labor demagogues and
radical press. The politics OF this
Is too clear to deny and it has been
branded as political by almost every
informed observer in the country
and by the press generally. But
when Congress got the Treasury
proposals. was it any less political?
1t was not. True, it did throw the
Treasury recommendations out the
window. but it then took the view
that the country could not stand
any more taxes at this time: that
the Treasury had overestimated the
need; that much Of the eight bill
lions for which 1t refused to levy
taxes can be met by economies in
war expenditures And 1t has side
stepped the sales tax Just as the
Treasury did.
Hardly any one pretends that this
refusal of Congress to levy more
taxes is not political. There is no
real effort to disguise the fact that
Its attitude toward the sales tax
is due to the imminence Of a politi-
cal campaign and the certainty that

On The Record

france, Germany ana Italy.
With those words, General Smuts
appears to accept the idea OF the
permanent eclipse of most of
Europe, including the greatest of
those countries who entered the
war as allies.
This worries Gen. Smuts, and
should we'll think 1t might, but
he has nothing more to offer
than the continued Great Trim
ity and predicts that the peace
will come so slowly as never to
make possible any peace confer
ence at ALL but "only a compre-
hensive armistice" which will be
"a long process of working out
solutions.
The outlines of our policy as
further revealed by such in
formed writer's as Kingsbury
Smith and Hiram Motherwell, all
project a picture of world domi-
nation by three great powers,
plus China. working together, of
course, in the interests Of peace
and the general welfare of every
body.
Curiously enough. this policy
is advanced as realistic" The
as yet hardly articulate oppo-
nents of it are classed as "ideal-
lists" and the term is one Of
contempt. Yet these '"realists,"
who seem to think that political
realism" is only the mathe-
mates OF bayonets, have appar-
emily never studied history. If
they had they would know what
the history of grand alliances
has been.
All Grand Alliances End.
All grand alliances-and I de-
fly all the realists to find coun-
terexample-have existed only
as long as it was necessary to
win a war, or protect them
selves against the aggressions Of
other powers. Once all enemies
are defeated, the only potential
enemies left are members of the
grand alliance itself.
The presumption is that this
grand alliance has a different
purpose: the welfare and COL
lective security of the world.
That cannot be the purpose OF
grand alliance but only the
purpose Of a League of Nations,
however constituted and imple-
mented. Mr.. Welles is correct
in saying that If this is our
purpose We should begin now
to do the things that work in
this direction.
For there is no break in his
tory. The future is determined
by today's deeds, not by today's
words, and not even by today,s
purposes. When Gen. Smuts pre-
diets that there will probably
never be peace treaty, he re-
veals that he does not see how
any peace treaty can be made
under the construction that we
are now building.
For no peace can be made
without Europe, which happens
to contain $50, ,0O0, 900 people. The
crux of the whole peace is the
reconstruction Of Europe. But so
far not a single basis in principle
or in action has been laid for
that reconstruction. The grand
alliance is not constructive
Affirmative idea but the greatest
historical daydream of those
who will not face the realities
that will confront them this
year, or next, or Ave, or 10
years from now.

The Great Game of Politics.

WOulQ DC accused Dy the PRESIDENT
and the labor lobbyists of soaking
the poor and protecting the rich.
On the eve of a campaign few men,
bers of Congress relish putting an
argument such as this in the hands
Of their opponents. Consequently,
they have met the administrations
political tax maneuvering with po-
litical tax maneuvering of their own.
The result, Of course, is bill which
shockingly disregards the national
interests. Instead of imposing taxes
that will raise the revenue required
and diminish the danger of a crude
and devastating imitation, we will
get bill-probably before January
that ignores the obvious needs and is
as shamelessly political as any tax
measure we'll could be.
Journalistic defenders of the ad-
ministration denounce Congress for
its political approach and congress
sional leaders denounce the admin
istration for having made politics
its first consideration. And, they
are both right. 1t is pretty dread
full thing to take the stand, as Con-
gress has, that the country cannot
bear any more taxes to support our
fighting forces at this most critical
period of the war. And 1t is equally
bad to point out, as the admins
tration does, that the surplus money
in the hands OF the lower income
brackets constitutes our great in
flation danger, and then not only
refuse TO take step toward de-
creasing that danger by increasing
taxes on four-fifth of the people,
but actually to propose relieving
them OF taxes now paid.
Talk One Way, Act Another.
None of these things can be de-
Tended and the whole situation
adds up to national disgrace for
which Congress-but not Congress
alone-is responsible. The Presi-
dent and his Secretary of the
Treasury share in that RESPONSE
bility. Both sides talk one way and
act another. Neither measures up
to its patriotic proclamations nor
puts the national interests ahead OF
political interests. though that is
what they urge other people to do.
This tax bill promises to be the
most inadequate ever enacted.
There is even no assurance that
the perfectly sound provision re-
quiring nonprofit- making organiza-
tions to file annual statements with
the Treasury will remain in the
bill, The only opposition to this
comes from labor lobbyists. No
protest is heard from anyone else.
1t applies to Chambers Of Com
merce and fraternal organizations
as we'll as to labor unions. 1t would
seem that any organizat ton with
nothing to hide would welcome
rather than oppose Yet to listen
to these breast beating labor pro-
fessionals, one would imagine that
this simple requirement was a das-
tardly attack upon the rights Of
labor designed by the greedy
rich to destroy the unions. Actu-
ally, it would strengthen the unions

ton received through usually
reliable channels from Japan
say that about 800 Nazi flyers,
who have been grounded be-
cause they have seen too much
service, have reached Toxic.
They will instruct 100000 Japa-
nese pilots between the ages Of
18 and 20 who recently have
been drafted into the Imperial
aviation air force.
According to the same reports,
two of the most important Japa-
nese plane plants in Manchukuo
and Korea are in full production
bringing out new type Of plane.
These machines are the work of
the 200 German technicians who
were sent to Japan early this
year, and are described by the
Japs as being of a revolutionary
type.
Contradictory Reports.
No information is available as
to why the new plane is consid-
cred revolutionary. Reports of
the American aviators fighting in
the Pacific do not indicate any
radical changes in the Japs'
planes. But it is impossible that
the Nipponese will not place them
in action until later, when a suffi-
clent number of planes and pilots
are ready for an efficient
offensive.
There have been many contra
dictory reports regarding Japa-
nese plane production. Accord
ing to some sources, the output
is on the downgrade; others say
it has been greatly improved. The
latest available figures place ex-
pected production for 1914 at
about 5000 planes a month. 1t
has been fairly we'll ascertained
that since the Doolittle raid on
Toxic the japanese aircraft in
dustry has been dispersed, new
factories have been established in
Manchukuo and Korea which the
japanese leaders regard as safer
than the factories in Japan itself.
For the last 10 months the
japanese have been fighting
defensive war. They are likely
to continue to do so. hoping that
heavy casualties inflicted on our
forces will make the American
people more amenable to nego-
tiated peace. Responsible Wash
ington military and political
quarters are convinced that after
a number of major victories
against the japanese forces there
will be a change of government
in Toxic with some liberals" re-
placing the generals who will be
delighted to commit hara-kiri to
save the Emperors skin.
These quarters believe that

that with the country engaged in

with its relatively minor strate-
gic Importance from the view
point of the defense OF the Jap
anese Empire-make us wonder
what is in store for us when we
begin to tackle their principal
defenses in the wide arc which
is protecting the Nipponese home
land. And how we are going to
put into effect the destruction of
the japanese Empire as decreed
at the recent Cairo conference?
The reply is that 1t can be
done, but so long as We are fol-
lowing the present island-to-
island strategy the campaign
against Japan will be very costly
and protracted.
1t is emphasized in responsible
quarters that the main attack to
bring the Japs to their knees
must come from the Asiatic con-
tinent. Hence, it is considered
more important than ever that
the campaign in Burma-even if
it is Tot directed at the opening
of the Burma Road but at the
establishment of air bases in
Eastern Asia-is started as soon
as possible.
Delay Means Resistance.
The Japanese must not be
given more time to perfect their
defenses either in the island OF
the Pacific or in China and In
do-China. Every month Of de-
lay will be translated into many
more months of efficient resis-
tance on the part of the Japa-
nese soldiers.
According to those who have
witnessed our battles in the Pa
cific there Is little chance Of
breaking down japanese morale
to point of surrender. The
Germans conceivably might give
up in the hope that the political
reconstruction Of Europe will
give them a chance to come
back in the future. The Japa-
nese will have no such oppor-
tunity. Both the whites and the
Asiatics regard them as perni-
cious neighbors.
In the meantime reports from
Toxic indicate that there is
feeling in Toxic and Berlin that
Japan and Germany must help
each other more efficiently in
the future. The latest informa-
