SERVICE MEN MUST FILE
INCOME TAX

Harold N. Graves, Acting Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, said thai
special efforts will be made to expe-
dite refunds due to members of the
armed forces on their 1943 income
tax returns.
The law requires members of the
armed forces who are stationed in
this country to file income tax re-
turns by March Is on about the same
basis as civilians. However, under
provisions of the Current Tax Pay
ment Act of 1913 the majority OF
service returns will result in refunds
rather than tax payments.
Service personnel who are on sea
duty or outside of the continental
United States are not required to file
returns or pay taxes until after they
come back or the war ends.

leased from London, states that, by

ties had been confiscated for the BEN

names on the December list, 419
were either executed as enemies of
Germany or placed in concentration

THE NATIONAL SERVICE LAW

Among the many questions that
have come before the American
people and their Congress during the
nresent war. few have aroused more
keen discussion than the proposed
National Service Act. One of the rea-
sons that this is so is the number OF
letters written to the newspapers by
men in the Armed Forces.
Their main line of argument Is
that if men can be pressed into the
service of their country for sou
month and their maintenance, re-
CARELESS of their preferences i'll the
matter, then civilians, too, should
be pressed into service.
If one figures the cost of uniforms,
shoes and underwear plus food ana
lodging, for which the civilian mas
to pay out of his wages, then the men
in the Armed Forces are getting the
equivalent of $125 a month instead
of the $50 they emphasize i'll their
letters.
Another and still more imortant
factor to be considered is that men
indicted into the Armed FORCES are
working for the Government. On the
other hand, civilians indicted into
industry would be working for pri-
yately owned concerns operated for
profit There is one school of thought
which argues that this would amount
to peonage unless the Government
took over private industry in toto SO
that the civilian workers and employ
ers alike would all be working for
the Government, the same as the
men in the Armed Forces, and were
this to happen, the fear arises that
after the war it might not so easy
for business to get back into private
ownership and management again.
True patriotism asks but one ques-
ton in the country's hour OF peril
and that is, Where can the individual
citizen be of most use to his country?
There are many who intellectually
subscribe to this view of patriotism,
but unfortunately there are far too
MANY who have shown disposition
to '1et George do it," and that way
lies to trouble if such an attitude is
not corrected.
