Taxes, Taxes, Taxes
(Bremerton Sum

One United States marine, taking long view of things, stood the beach at Okinawa watching Am erican planes strafng Japs with rockets and machine gun fire and artillery speWing steel careessy into lines.
 Taxes taxes taxes" he moaned, we'll never in the world pay for all this"
 That is one slant it. In one respect war IS taxes taxes The people pay for it in gobs and dribbets in big sashes from their paychecks and 1n many tiny hidden ways which in the aggregate put sizable dent in income We will be paying install ments on this for years to come perhaps genera tons The marine who stood on the beach, though he is fighting the war is still obligated to pay for it. His children will be under the obligation, and maybe his chidren's children.
 War is prodgious spender and it is an extra ordinary waster- Everything, or almost everything, is expenciable in war, men, ships planes, weapons, machines, forests mines, mills, money, happiness, creature comforts. Everything goes into the hopper and out comes victory-if we are fortunate and we have put enough in The trouble is that we will be feeding the hopper for decades after the war ends with taxes, taxes taxes But we are getting some thing back We can still go being Americans, living like Americans We need not "heil Hitler or bow low at the waist to the Japs.

Staff, encountered Hurley at a cocktail party and chided him for sending his telegram of protest without prior consultation.
 You = pup roared the ex- cowpuncher from Oklahoma, I've shot men for less than that"
 Fists went up. Mcclure is no small man. Neither is Hurley. But before anything further happened, friends intervened. However, Chi nese were present and saw these two high-ranking Americans in a near fist-fight. It didn't help American prestige.
 It was at about this time also that Embassy advisers John Davies and John Service, the latter now arrested, were ordered out of Chungking by Hurley. He said he did not want anyone around who sided with the Northern Chinese. Since then, the rift between North and South China has become wider and wider; with the result that Russia probably will officially rec ognize the North Chinese, leaving the U. s. A. with another Lublin- London PQfish dispute on it's hands.
 This has been one of the hottest debates among junior officers in- side the State Department. Top officials, however, are dead set against discussion.

a cable the Ambassador had sent the White House, accusing Wede- meyers officers of double-crossing him.
 Wedemeyer immediately went to Hurley and demanded an explana- tion. He wanted to know what the Ambassador meant and why he hadn't carried out his promise to show him all telegrams and CO., operate completely. Hurley turned his back.
 q am the Ambassador here" he replied and walked away.
 General Wedemeyer then dis covered that General William Dono- van, head of Strategic Services, was due in China and his representa- tives had been anxious to deter mine the possibilities of working with the Northern Chinese against Japan. Therefore, Wedemeyer's chief of staff, Gen. Robert B. Mc- Clure, had agreed to send two U. s. officers to North China to examine North Chinese cooperation.
 While they were away, Foreign Minister T. V. Soong complained to Hurley about their trip. He said this was upsetting Chungking's re- lation with the North Chinese. Whereupon Hurley sent stinging cable to President Roosevelt accus- ing Wedemeyer's officers of under cutting him. This was what caused Wedemeyer to get the rebuke from General Marshall
 However, Wedemeyer replied to Marshall explaining the whole sit uation and stating that Hurley knew in advance about the north- ern trip of the two U. s. officers. Marshall took the cable to the White House Roosevelt read it, sighed wearily.
 Pat is Pat" he said, and there's nothing you can do about him."

COWBOY vs. FARMER

It was this question which led to |one of the most spectacular feuds in the recent annals of American |diplomacy between handsome Am |bassador Hurley, the ex-Oklahoma 'oil man and cowpuncher, and hard hitting Gen Al Wedemeyer, Former Nebraska farm boy, now U. IS. Com m n d CT in Chungking. Nothing much like it could happen any place but in China-unless it be in Washington
 When General Wedemeyer first arrived in Chungking, he and Hur- ley appeared to be excellent friends. They took adjoining rooms in a big Chinese mansion, with a con- hecting bathroom. Three times a hay they ate together. Wedemeyer told Hurley he would show him all bis dispatches to Washington if Hurley would do the same. Hurley promised. and complete cooperation beemed assured.
 T don't know anything about he fine points of diplomacy" Gen kral Wedemeyer said, but do know square-shooter when I see bne and I am sure we can work ogether.'

END OF HOUSEKEEPING

Amusing aftermath in Chung king was that Ambassador Hurley and General Wedemeyer, the two top Americans in China, occupying the same house and an adjoining bathroom, refused to speak to each other. Day after day they lodged each other in their common dining room. Finally, on the fourth day, Hurley came down to breakfast, told Wedemeyer how sad he was, and begged him to let bygones be bygones. President Roosevelt told me that my job was to kill Japs out here, not American diplomats" :" replied the General. T will still play ball if you willv
 Shortly thereafter, however, the two men broke up joint housekeep- ing and moved to separate homes. At about the same time. General Mcclure, Wedemeyer's Chief of

Meet the Capitalists
(Prince Rupert Empirel

Prince Rupert Empire)
 By the simple method of saving through buying and holding Victory Bonds, the average family in British Columbia and the Yukon has now built up a $500 nest egg for postwar security In round figures individuals in the B. C-Yukon area have purchased a total of S327 million in Victory Bonds. By the time the drive is concluded this huge total will be boosted by another $75O00 900 if the expectations of the National War Finance Committee are borne out.
 Many families now know for the first time what it feels like to be capitalists to have sub stantia salted away earning interest, which will be available to carry out plans for new home or better home furnishings and conyeniences; which will possible better education for the children which will serve emergency fund to avoid distress in case of illness or other hard luck.
 This reserve in Victory Bonds will help make future savings easier Besides earning interest Victory Bonds will work for their owners in other ways.

 HEART AND HOME
 Cooking should engross the at tention of women young and old. Men who have been long accustomed to food served in mountainous mass es for battlefront consumption will expect varied menus served with daintiness Regular and substantial meals will be required, it is indicat- ed.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Fluctuations in the stock market are indicated. Temptation to spec llate will be strong. Mining prop critics will now attract attention, for new discoveries of minerals will be substantial in quantity.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Labor is under a sign that seems to presage widespread reorganiza- tions and changes in minor leader ship. Legislation to prevent strikes is forecast for certain states but Congress will be careful to avoid an- tagonizing the unions.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Astrologers emphasize that force cannot assure permanent peace. Un- less the peoples of the world accept in spirit the ideal of universal broth erhood there can be no lasting friendship among nations.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of readjust- ments. Many discharged Servicemen will have opportunities to enter promising vacations. Children born on this day will be kindly and affectionate. They are likely to have a double share of talents and common sense

PRESBYTERIANS
OPPOSE MERGER

| CHARLOTTE, Dec. 15.-REThe
Rev. Charles G.. Mcclure, pastor
of Caldwell Memorial Presbyterian
church here, announced today that
the executive committee Of group
formed to oppose a suggested mer-
ger Of the northern and southern
branches of the church had drawn
up statement outlining grounds
for their opposition.
In this statement, he said, the
committee commended that g. pend
ihg plan Of union, already before
the general assembly OF each
branch, overlooked serious doc
trinal differences and other OBJ
stacles to merger.
He quoted it as saying the semi
naries of the northern church dis
credit the standards of the south
ern church, and asserting that the
so-called auburn ffirmation of 20
years ago called into question the
virgin birth, Bible inspiration,
vicarious atonement, and the resur-
rection of Christ and his miracles,
Further in their statement, the
protestants were quoted as object
ing to a proposal that regional
synods supplant state synods, and
e S contending that the pending
plan overlooked wide divergence
of the south and the north in views
on social, racial, and political
questions.
The Charlotte minister said the
executive committee was set up by
committee formed last summer
by southern clergymen and elders
to oppose the merger plan, with
himself as chairman.
Other officers, he said, were:
The Rev. Ferguson Wood, Atlanta,
co-chairms n, the Rev. H. B. Dendy,
Weaverville, secretary, and W. G.
Guile, Salisbury.

February Copper Shipments
Reduced by Weather
Nv the ASSOCIATED Press.


NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-Heavy war
demand for copper continues but
transportation difficulties and In
clement weather will affect Feb
ruary shipments somewhat, trade
sources said today.
The War Production Board has
estimated refined copper needs for
1945 as 1,98o,00 tons-about 1000
tons more than the agency's esti-
mated refined supply of 1,976, 600
tons this year. Scrap supply was
placed at around 1,528,00 in 1945
and needs 1,548,000.
AS March lead ALLEGATIONS were
being worked out, some trade sources
figured that Government-owned
stockpiles may have to be dipped
into for comparatively small tom
mage next month.
Effective April /, zinc again will
be placed under ALLEGATION control,
the War Production Board said, re-
porting also there will be an esti-
mated deficit of 208, ZOO tons in
supply compared with estimated
1945 needs.
Steel buying has slackened be-
cause of inability of makers to fur
nish deliveries sought rather than
because of reduced war demand.
