with difficulties. It is essential from
the political viewpoint that the bulk
Of the forces engaged in the campaign
should be metropolitan troops. It has
taken Lord Louis a longer time than
originally anticipated to train his men
for this very difficult type Of warfare
and also to construct lines of COM
munication to permit an unhindered
flow of supplies. The terrain in that
area is described to be even more
difficult than in the South Pacific.
To these difficulties must be added
the fact that the Viceroy of India,
Marshal Archibald Wavell, who NOM
inally has nothing to do with Admiral
Mountbatten's command, controls the
bulk Of the forces in India. He is re-
sponsible to the London government
for the preservation Of law and order
in India and feels that his first duty is
to maintain some sort of stability In
the country. The number of metropoli-
tan troops in India is military secret,
but in view Of the disturbed condition
1t is certain that Marshal Wavell needs
a large number on whom he can rely.
He also must be careful of his COM
munications. The result has been that
Admiral Mountbatten could not obtain
all the soldiers he needed.
On the bright side Of the picture is
the fact that the American fleet in the
Central Pacific is doing such a superb
job that the Japs have become jittery
and must keep their home fleet on
the alert in the event our naval forces
decide to penetrate the inner sanctum
of the empire. This will help Admiral
Mountbatten's operations or the East
Asiatic front when he receives the
necessary reinforce11ents to begin a

and that its troops, under the direction
of its duly appointed commander in
chief, are fighting alongside British and
American troops in Italy at this mo-
ment
Therein lies the peril OF such monkey
business as now goes on in Russia, on
the part of the Polish National Coun-
cil." News like this travels swiftly. 1t is
capable of undermining the discipline
and dividing the loyalties of the officers
and men of the Polish armed forces.
This is bad enough, if we consider only
the Polish corps and air force in Great
Britain, or the Polish divisions in the
Middle East, which are not at the mo-
ment actively engaged with the enemy,
but which are both standing by for
such responsibilities - easily to be
imagined-as the immediate future may
bring them. These responsibilities may
be heavy ones.
The quality Of Polish troops is such
that Allied commanders are justified in
allowing them difficult and dangerous
roles in such operations as may be under
consideration. To have these fine troop
units disintegrate because of political
macn1nat1onS, so that they would have
to be replaced by others, might produce
serious delays in Allied plans. Plans of
great military operations are intricate;
they depend upon the accurate CO.
operation Of innumerable interde-
pendent parts Of the great military ma
chine. You cannot remove an i'm
portant part without requiring the
whole plan to be recast. And since time
is the factor of prime importance in
this fast-moving modern warfare, the
enemy gains great advantage by any
delays which are suddenly thrust upon
us by unforeseen events.
But In italy the case Is far more
urgent. Here two Polish divisions are
actively engaged in the heaviest kind

For one thing, his reelection to leader

Concerning the effect upon the fourth

The other is that the only voters who
will be alienated are the discerning and

while it is not feasible = = = to cover

it is generally agreed that taxation

extensive reliance is placed on borrow

Equally important, an all-out tax ef-
fort during the war reduces the financial

How are we using taxation as means
to prevent imitation and reduce postwar
hazards, compared with Britain and
Canada?
Their answer is: Inadequately.
From this article, which attacks the
question from all angles and is literally
illustrated with statistical charts, we
learn the following:
Personal income taxes are much
higher in Britain and Canada than
here.
Corporation profits after tax have
risen substantially above their prewar
level in the United States and remained
practically unchanged in Britain. Can
ada falls somewhere in between.
The level of sales and excise taxes is
substantially higher in Britain and
Canada than here

phraseology is attributed to ex-Judge
Sam Rosenman. Only two deduc-
tions seem possible from this one-first,
that Mr.. Roosevelt was confused in his
mind, did not know the facts and was
badly advised; second. that, as Senator
Barley declared, this was calculated
assault upon the integrity OF every men,
Der of Congress- for campaign pur-
poses. In brief, it was fourth-term
strategy, designed to discredit Congress
in the country.
Not the least interesting part Of the
affair was the Presidents telegram after
the Senate demonstration. 1t was a re-
treat. He said he did not mean it-that
he had not the slightest intention of
rejecting upon Dear .Alben" or any
other member Of Congress. He pied with
the indignant Senator. He was apollo
getic in tone, clearly alarmed and in
complete contrast to his abusive mes
sage. AS for the effect upon the coming
campaign, no one can be sure about
that. Certainly, it has done Senator
Barley, a candidate for reelection,
good. One of the primary candidates
against him has withdrawn in his favor.
Today he appears a self-respecting
man instead of an administration tool
whose abject devotion made him an
object of derision and whose sufferings,
when compelled to advocate proposals
in which he did not believe, aroused
both pity and contempt. OF course, 1t
is absurd to start presidential boom
for Senator Barkley just because he
showed there was a limit to what he
would stand. And it Is not likely he will
stay indignant with an apologize
President. His letter Of reply shows
that.
However, Notwithstanding assurances
Of his affection and his adulatory wish

would mean less hardship than else
where
British and Canadian rates are sub
stantially higher than ours except for
the very lowest income group. Large
families with incomes of less than 81 500
pay somewhat heavier tax here.
Despite the fact that here, in contrast
to Britain and Canada, corporation net
income is twice taxed the rates
are still lower than in the other two
countries.
Although Britain started the war at
higher level of taxation, the rates have
risen much more sharply above their
perwar level in the two British coun-
tries than here.
The yields from excise taxes on luxu-
ries doubled in Britain and Canada
and rose so per cent here.
The authors conclude: THE adequacy
OF the tax effort must be measured for
each country against its need for cur
failing inf1ationary pressures. Few would
hold that these are less serious here
than in the two other countries Yet,
as We have seen, the tax effort in the
United States falls far behind that of
Britain and Canada.
In view of these unchallenged facts
the Senate's tax bill is, compared with
the financial effort and distribution of
taxation by our Allies, inadequate,
inf1ationary, ana against the interests
OF our youth who will inherit the future.
The Presidents stand will victimize
him further in the eyes of the Wash
ington pressure groups. But sometime
the Republic may remember brave
and unpopular stand by a man who
really knows how far we are from victory,
and what tremendous dangers and prob
lens the age is unfolding for us all.

to such partisans reason enough for
demonstration Of divided unity in gov
ernment in wartime, despite the fact
that it was noted with dismay by every
United Nations embassy in Washington
and everywhere abroad shook confidence
in Roosevelt, whose prestige is unrealized
by Americans.
The controversy is not soberly dis
cussed on its merits at all. The ques-
ton remains whether President or Sen
ate was right; whether the tax bill voted
is adequate. Actually, it is SO inadequate
as to suggest that the Senate is dis
counting the war as all but won, and Is
allergic to the most basic problems Of
war finance and postwar stability.
