British Bishop Advocates
New Amity For Germany

LONDON, Feb. 9.-LREThe Bish-
op of Birmingham advocated "a
new friendliness" toward Germany
and abandonment of harsh peace
terms today, while the World Trade
Union Conference received propo-
sails for economic subjugation OF
the Reich and wholesale transfer
of workers and industries else
where.
DR.. Ernest William Barnes, TO-
year-old Church of England schol-
ar who has been Bishop OF Blr-
mingham since 1924, told the Ma
tional Peace Council that a peace
based on maintenance of military
force would fail and that he be-
lieved hard surrender terms would
only hasten a new war.

Europe when hostilities have endec

man declared. by reason OF their
good qualities the Germans became
strong; for the same reason they
will again become strong, whatev
er peace terms are enforced.
Two other British churchmen al
so expressed their views on inter
national affairs today.
The Archbishop of Liverpool, DR.
Richard Downey, issued a pastora.

Churchill probably will extend their
conference into next week, United
Press Moscow dispatches said to-
day.
1t was made known that the
American and British ambassadors
to Russia, w. Averell Hartman
and Sir Archibald Clark Kerr, were
at the conference. Hartman, &C
companied by staff and his
daughter Kathleen, left Moscow
some time before the conference
started. Clark Kerr left a week
later.
The Exchange Telegraph re-
ported from Rome that the Big
Three meeting was intended to be
brief and already had lasted longer
than was expected. This was inter
preted as meaning that instead OF
merely reaching identity OF
views" the negotiators found them
selves able to do real business.
Moscow reported that the confer
ence might prove to be. an am
phibious one-the Big Three hold
ing most of their meetings on a
warship in the Black Sea while the
foreign ministers and military
Stats met ashore at a Russian
coastal resort.

their Irrawaddy bridgeheads north

NATION ACCEPTS
AVIATION PACTS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-UP)-
The United States today accepted
the Chicago Civil Aviation Con-
ference agreements on freedom
OF the air and joined the council
of the interim international civil
aviation organization.
The State Department said the
pacts were put into force on the
part of. this government as ex-
ecutlve agreements and that only
the proposed permanent conven-
ton on civil aviation would be
submitted to the Senate for rati-
fication.
Today's action confirmed the
position taken by United States
delegates at Chicago in favor of
'open skies or virtually unlim-
tied freedom of the air. 1t meant
designated airports in this coun-
try will be open to carriers of
all nations granting America SIM

FU MANCHU DEAD

Dr. Flu Manchu is dead. This fiendish Chinese will lain will never again carry on devilish plots with the aid of strange poisonous reptiles from Burma, or hitherto unknown gorilla like apes from Abyssinia. He died in London, accord ing to an Associated Press news dispatch.
 This information comes comes from Sax Rohmer, the English IT, !?
 the novelist who has chron- icled Dr. Flu Manchu's spec tacular history. He killed his creation off at the re- quest of the Chinese gov- ernment, who felt that too many readers and movie fans would assume all other Chinese to be equally dia- bolical.
 It is surprising that Roeh- mer slew this best-selling character. He might sim- ply have announced that, though the doctor bore a Chinese name, he was really a Japanese whose real name was Fukushima Manchucka.

Inside Figures

Here is another enligf tening passage from his statement: Per haps you wonder why my net realization from wages has been so small. The answer lies in the ex- tremely high income tax rates which apply to my wages, added as they are to my other income and to the fact that must pay not only federal income taxes but also state income taxes"
 This man is not the only big company official in the country who has cut a lordly income to less than 10 cents a month. Why do they do it? Because their big salaries benefit them so little and cost their firms so much. My young friend who started last fall to work his way 'hrough collcre running a

 Let me make haste to say that I am not sorry for Uncle Frank. He will be all right; he has some other money. 1 am not worried about his employees either. The faithful workers among them will be able to retire in dignified com fort. My only concern is over men who, next year or the next, may hunt jobs and not find them; jobs Uncle Frank would like to offer but can't.

Who Is Injured?

Men who cut off big salaries have otrer income. That's why their tax rates are so high. That's why they can afford to spurn sal ary. But if they must decline the proceeds of their own invested earnings, one thing is sure: They will not invest further earnings to start new ventures or expand old ones. Investments in business are not safe, never have been. Any in vestment is a risk.
 Men with money invest it only when they believe, to the best of their judgment, that it will pay reasonable returns. Now they are sure of only one thing: Nearly everything an investment earns will be taxed away from them. Will they invest in new enter prises? No. Then where will our returning service men find work? Unless present tax laws are chang ed soon, they will find it on huge WPA to the disgrace of our free America.

Last year at this time I enjoyed the acqualntance of business man whose salary was $50,000 a year. I looked upon Tim with a great deal of admiration and re- spect for several reasons. He earn ed what he has with hard work and know-how. His employees, above ten-.housand, call him Uncle Frank. He lives in a small town and helps a lot of people in a quiet way.
 Last week somebody showed me a page of a pocket-size magazine published for the employees of his company and I read with grave interest that his pay had been cut. That was news by any body's standard; most people are getting raises in pay these days. Whats more, this mans pay-cut is big. It amounts to more in a year than most men manage to ac- cumulate in a whole lifetime.
