Schram Asks Tax Relief
To Aid Small Business

BY the Associated Press.
Emil Schram, president of the
New York Stock Exchange, yesterday
recommended postwar tax relief for
small business as a means of en-
couraging local capital into local
investment.
Lower taxation for small under
takings, he told the House Small
Business Committee, would make it
possible for "any one lending money
to business to have some chance
of getting it back out of earnings

and would have the prospect of a
reward comparable to the risk
taken"
To nelp local business develop

gress encourage the organization

erably with money raised in COM

I'm China

pledged commitments to the prln-
ciples of self government and the
self determination of peoples.
Chang knows that when these
things occurred in Europe, the official
reaction in America was not to take
Russia to task or to protest, but to
acquiesce in them as accomplished
facts which had their justification in
the successful war Russia had con.
Quoted against Germany.
Chang knows equally well that
there are influential elements IN
America which are not only willing
to acquiesce in Russia's absorption
of territory and subsection of peoples
as a means of keeping her in the
European war, but are actually in
accord with and IN LEAGUE with
the resultant communication of terri
tories and peoples.
THE communicate of Poland and
Il Yugoslavia and all the other
Baltic and Balkan nations is not
Objectionable to these American ele-
ments, but is APPROVED by them.
The communication of China
would be equally unobjectionable to
them, and in point of fact would be
approved by them.
Rep. Mansfield reports that
Chang is keeping 16 divisions on the
borders of Chinese provinces already
dominated by Communists, and thus
diverting them from the war against
Japan.
What else is Chang to do if all of
China is not to be OVERRUN by the
Communists as some of China's
richest provinces have already been
overrun?
The reality of China's plight is
that she has TWO enemies, one seek
ing her destruction by open warfare
and the other seeking the same end
by infiltration and demoralization.
It does not add to her strength
in this plight, as Generalissimo
Chang politely but nonetheless
bluntly informed Rep. Mansfield,
that the ally upon which she wholly
depends for victory against Japan
seems willing to acquiesce in her de-
struction by Russia.

TT is indeed very good suggestion,
L but not one very likely to be fol-
lowed by the particular American
groups to which the Chang appeal is
obviously addressed.
Not in China alone, but in central
Europe particularly and in the whole
world generally, the exploitation of
Communist interests and the de
velopment of Communist spheres of
influence" are not matters against
which these active and influential
American groups are inclined to i'm
pose any objections,
China is not an exception, and the
observant and we'll informed general
issimo plainly does not expect it to
be an exception.

THE Reconstruction Finance Corp holds the

That is not news to those New Dealers who

device with which to make the country over and

The old-line political bosses of the Hague

The trouble has been that Jesse Jones has

cling in and has kept the bosses from getting

DE. MANSFIELD of Montana,
~ reporting to Congress on his
recent confidential mission to China
for President Roosevelt" said that
he had urged Generalissimo Chang
Kai shek to reach an accord with the
Communist elements in China in the
interests of a stronger war effort
against Japan.
Chang agreed that such an accord
was desirable, and asserted that he
had in fact considered all suggested
possibilities in that direction.
But one of the ma jjer difficulties
he encountered, he said, was that too
many Americans seem to expect his
government to make ALL THE
CONCESSIONS.
Why do not these Americans,
Chang wondered, try to get the
Yenan (Communist) group in China
to make at least SOME of the con-
cessions?
And to this Rep. Mansfield added
the frank comment that it sounded
like a GOOD suggestion.

Soldiers Child Stricken;
Veteran Would Relieve Him

ATLANTA, Mar. IA Tuckahoe
IN. " veteran of the last war has
volunteered to exchange places with
Staff Sergt. Clifford L. Burdick so
the latter may come from his post
in Italy to Atlanta to visit his 2l-
month-old daughter, Linda Lou
Burdick, who is suffering from sleep
ing sickness.
Mayor William S. Hartsfield said
he received the letter from William
S. Collins, 48, who said his efforts
to re-enlist in the Army had been
futile, that he is a bachelor and that
he considered it his patriotic duty"
to offer to take Sergt. Burdick's S
place so the father could be at the
bedside of his stricken child.
Mr.. Collins wrote the mayor that
he served in the last war in Mexico,
England, France and Germany and
has seven years Army experience.
The mayor said he would turn the
letter over to the proper officials.
Red Cross officials are continuing
efforts to have Sergt. Burdick sent
home by plane.
The child has been in a coma at
Georgia Baptist Hospital three
weeks and physicians hold scant
hope for her recovery.
