MAKING PICTURES IN
 ENGLAND

notice that a lot of our Holly wood actors are getting ready to go over to make a few pictures in Great Britain, and that Eng land is exchanging some of it's performers with us. It's sort of peacetime version of lend lease. They call it lens-louse.
 The Hollywood actors will be very hJppy to go over if a few details can be worked out, such as how they can shoot in Eng land in the morning and still catch the races at Santa Anita in the afternoon. They really have trouble with that fog over there. Sometimes it gets so bad the director sits in the chair next to yours and has to telephone

Labor Advances
 By
 Ruth DembO

In Milan when a small garrison of Nazi officers were asked to sur- render by Italian partisans they replied, We do not surrender to rabble. We are soldiers. We have fought honorably."
 The bestiality of the Nazis is only surpassed by their gall. Per- haps they march like soldiers and dress like soldiers but the withered bodies of children, cremated hu- man ashes, and the scientific tor lure chambers prove beyond any doubt that these men were the worst gangsters and murderers the world has ever known. The neWs- reels we see, the testimony of men like General Eisenhower and Gen. eral Patton make clear to the world that we have not been deal- ing with soldiers who are "honor- able" but a nation so depraved by fascist thinking that 1t will take generations to reeducate them into decent members of society That they still can think of themselves as honorable and still feel no sense of guilt or shame for their actions shows all decent men the world over that the fascist cancer must be cut out sharply and completely from the world polite. The sev- crest punishment must be meted out to the murderers.
 The Nazis wish us to think of this war as a hard fought game af- ter which we will shake their hand and say, Sorry you lost, you fought like men-let bygones be by gones." If we are so foolish and weak as to sustain this kind of thinking we will have lost the war and started German imperialism off on the road to conquest in the future. NO,-this time we will not clasp their bloodstained hand. This time we shall show them we know the nature of the enemy. The Nazi supermen whose minds gave birth to scientific murder camps, whose diabolical genius devastated Europe physically and morally shall pay for their crimes. They shall work out their sentence by rebuilding Europe and only when they realize the extent of their crimes, and that they fought not like honorable men but like depraved beasts; only when sense of shame at their ut- ter coWardice and baseness over- comes them will they be permitted to walk with the decent peoples of this earth.
 The lights are going on in Eur ope. The Nazi fascist monster is gasping his last breath. We shall see to it that he never rises again. The world will Asver forget how the Nazi fascist beast lived and died in the gutter.

Japan and the Atom

(New York Times
 After the famous Hahn -Frisch-M Neither experiment was made in 939-an experiment in which the uranium atom first split and enormous amounts of energy reeased-Japanese physicists much interested as were those in western countries The Japanese gen. eral staff promise in atomic explosives partly because it known that Great Britain and this country had already made such progress that it would be impossible to catch up, partly because Germany could not be trusted to reveal what she doing, partly because Japan had large supplies of uranium Accordingly Japanese physicists, among them the dis tinguished Professor Nshina, twddled their thumbs during the war.
 Japanese accomplishments in nuclear physics are nevertheless of such merit that engineers of the Sixth and Eighth Armies have been ransacking the lab oratories The first step to demolish cycotrons imported from this country with blow torches and demolition charges and to dump the wreckage into the sea- The purpose of course, was to cripple research which might lead to an atomic bomb. Some of these machines were outmoded that they were of little use to anyone. Others, including a huge 200-ton apparatus built by Professor Ernest Lawrence of the University of California deserved better fate.
 True, the large electromagnates of these cycotrons were saved possibly be given to scientific institutes in the Far East which have not been in position to Especially does this hold China Attached to the staffs of Gen Robert l. Echelberger and Gen Walter Kreuger are able American physicists who know what is mere junk and what is not. We hope that these experts will be consulted to the disposition of the cyclotrons that still useful and that not everything will be left to the mercy of the wreckers.

SPENDING

Addressing the New Jersey Taxpayers Association. Senator Taft recently declared that the President has recklessy ndorsed almost every project for Federal spending which anyone has proposed, while his only reference to taxes advocate reduction of taxa ton designed to stimulate business without losing sight of the budgetary situation" Senator Taft is not speaking as foe of tax reduction On the con- trary he favors further reductions in the prevailing high levels of But he is foe of chronic deficit financing, which he rightly considers to be grave threat to the financial stability of the country And realizes that further tax reduction incompatible with attainment of budgetary balance unless rall governmental costs reduced
 The present tax system, after recent tax reduc- tions, he says, will only just pay the bill we are accumulatingn He concludes that it will be necessary to raise 26 billion dollars in Federal taxes, plus 10 billion in local taxes in order to put governmental finances on sound basis unless spending plans are cut to fit our At that level of taxation Fed eral State and local would take close to 30 per cent of the national income. Or, as Senator Taft puts it. every would have to work more than one in four days for the Government.
 Of course there is fixed limit to the amount of income that the State may take for it's own use That depends upon how far nation desires to go in sub- stuting public spending for private enterprise But in country that believes in private enterprise tax
