MORE EMpLoYMENT-FEwER TAXES

danger which should be avoided in the post war transition period is the possibility that some industries and businesses will not attempt to provide the greatest possible employment of available. . It is very likely that here in Alaska will find great numbers of men out of jobs looking for work Every effort should be made on the part of Alaskan industry to employ as many men can be used
 Some see an onnous warning in the present trend to pro-labor Territorial Legislature next Spring These persons taking for granted that such legislature will pile Territorial taxes top of those applied by the Federal Government This attitude, however, does not seem reasonable,
 The laboring knows better than anyone else that taxes ons business are considered part of industry's overhead. Wages also come out of overhead. The for taxes. the less for wages well profits. This is the picture of course, in normal times when the labor reservoir is not dry.
 On the other hand, practically every employer of labor pays substantial Federal taxes. Unemploy- ment adds to this tax burden, while jobs which reduce unemployment reduce also the total tax burden.

Senator Bob Taft of Ohio isn't advertising it yet, but close friends say he is fed up on the gilt-edge pension racket of certain of his big business friends.
 The pension dodge is a plan whereby big corporation executives don't take all of their salary now, but have part of it set aside as a pension fund, payable when they retire. This means that their conl- panies can deduct the pension fund from the companies taxes now. and the executive doesn't have to pay any taxes on the pension until some years hence when he receives it, at which time taxes i've hope) will be lower E
 In some cases, pensions have been set aside running up to fu- ture payments of S50,000 a year. Since most manufacturers are busy on war contracts, this means that the Government really pays che pension.
 Senator Taft was persuaded to get into this by one of his big busi- ness constituents, J. F. Lincoln of Cleveland, head of the Lincoln Electric Co.,, who has been en- gagged in hot argument with the Treasury over his own pension fund.
 However, Taft has about come to. the conclusion that pensions should be limited by law to around Sl0,000, annually, which is going to be very bad news to some of his friends who have been trying to tuck away far more than this each year. .
 NOTE-The man who does the biggest business in pension tax questions is Ellsworth Alvord, tax lobbyist for the U. S. Chamber of Commerce and close friend of Sem ator George of Georgia. Alvord is credited with having big hand in writing the tax laws each year. He also has a lush list of clients who are in trouble with the Treas ury over pensions. Ntlts

r THURSDAY, JUNE g slia Mildly benefic aspects today should be favorable to progress in we'll laid plans. Aviators should benefit.
 HEART AND HOME Girls are warned to be extraordinarily dis Icreet in conduct during coming weeks, when there may be much criticism and envy of those who are prominent in the Wacs, Waves and other branches of the armed forces. Honors are to come to many. AH
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: According to certain stars there will be de- mand for commercial code to |supersede outworn statutes when transition to civilian production is achieved Safeguards must be es- tablished in the termination of war contracts and the establishment of new foreign business connections, the seers declare.

 NATIONAL ISSUES: As re- suit of the envy aroused by the American soldiers lavish spending, friction will increase in foreign lands. For years astrologers have preached thrift and economy and now they foretell that empty pock- cts will depress many returning heroes.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Persons of prominence here and in Europe come under a planetary sway threatening to health. Death will claim legislators in Parliament and in Congress. As the new order unfolds many distinguished aged men and women will reach the end of their careers.
 Persons whose. birthdate it is have the augury of year of success and change. There will be tears as well as laughter.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be fairly lucky financially but they may suffer through the affections.

The Marshalls Battle

Il is difficult to grasp the ma gnitude of the
battle gain a clear understanding of
the difficulties involved in the fighting now
under way in the Marshall Islands. 1t may
help our readers to better view of the situa-
ton to know that there are some thirty prin-
cipal islands and inntimerable small islets,
that the group stretches for more than 700
miles east and west and so north and south,
and that the waters between are dotted with
reefs and shoals creating unlimited perils in
navigation.
It is impossible to make an accurate esti-
mate of the number of islands garrisoned, the
forces Japan has stationed on them or the
strength of Japanese defenses, so closely have
Tokyos activities been guarded since Japan
seized them in the former World war But it
NAV safely be assumed that the enemy S
chief strength is on Kwajalein, the largest of
the coralline atolls.
If this is indeed true, the American STRAIT
egy is daring, for Kwajalein lies very near
the center of the Marshalls group To reach
it. the attacking forces had to penetrate the
outer FIN OF Japanese OC1SIoCo. 11ilu ~ "oo
against Kwajalein the Americans directed
their first blow. Instead of nibbling at the
edges. our assault is aimed directly at the
heart.
If successful, this operation will have in
estimable value. From the Rol air strip,
American warplanes may take off for other
defended atolls American warships may be
based in Kwajalein waters. Kwajalein's fall
will seal the doom of the japanese in the
Marshalls. although there is no justification
for belief that final conquest of the group
will be easy or quick. Every Japanese defense
will be taken, but the taking will require
time The enemy has already recovered from
his surprise over the invasion and his resist
ance has stiffened. The heartening thing is
that we have a sufficient force on the scene
10 finish the job.

Our Chief Aim
The Right Man

NJ E. DreXler did such an outstanding job
as general chairman of the last Community
Chest and War Fund campaign that his cleo
ton 10 the presidency of the Chest comes as a
natural and well deserved honor.
Wilmington is fortunate to have among its
citizens man of his CALDER willing to as
sumo the responsibilities of leadership in a
major civic project in addition to his heavy
business obligations. Under his guidance the
Chest may count upon the successful and
helpful operation that has characterized its
existence from the start.
Certainly no one will be more grateful
than Mr.. Drexler that he takes up his new
duties in going concern, that the organiza-
items foundation, and its superstructure too,
has been well constructed, under his prede-
cessor, Harriss Newman, who is convalescing
from grave Illness and who did the spade
work in setting up the Chest at heavy sacri-
flee to his professional activities.
