The POLITICAL TRENDS IN FRANCE

General de Gaule, absorbed in plans to restore the power and
glory OF france, appears increasingly anxious to postpone consideration
OF fundamental changes at home. In his recent speech to the Assembly
ne accepted the necessity of state control of key industries during the
war but indicated a desire to avoid changes in structure" The pro-
IL naturalization, he declared, must await the advent of an
eiecled Parliament, n any measures taken in that direction he e
2arded as purely provisional This speech proved extremely dsappoint-
ing to the Assembly, which is largely composed of leaders Of the re-
stanc Inc resistance movement in France "a not solely concerned

WHO SHOULD PAY THE TAXES?

In his message to Congress, President Roosevelt advocated a tax
ucuon Is resumed. On the one hand, the President wants taxes high
enough o only to pay for all public expenditures, but also to reduce
the public debt On the other hand, he wishes to distribute the tax
burden in a way that will encourage demand for investment goods and
consumption goods. In order to promote demand for consumption goods.
the President recommends reduction or elimination of taxes which
bear too heavily n consumption"
Such a tax program involves two things-on the hand in
centlve taxation, giving special advantages to capital which has actually
pee invested IN new enterprises Cor in the extension of investments
IN Old enterprises, and on the other hand, reduction of excise taxes
and o income taxes levied on low incomes, since the latter are spent
quickly and almost exclusively on consumption goods. -
1t should be noted that taxation on these judicious principles by n %
means JIbes with main tax plans recently MISUNDERSTANDING not with
the tax plan presented by the Committee for Economic DEVELOPMENT
winch is, n fact, based almost entirely on opposite principles. The CED
pan IS reSoutey opposed to all kinds of incentive taxation that favor
actua capital investments, but suggests the abolition of corporation
taxes, irrespective of whether the income of the corporation is invested
II lett IDLE. 10 make up for the loss to the Treasury resulting from the
aoohlon OF corporation taxes, the CED tax plan suggests taxing low
incomes very heavily, despite the fact that such incomes n readily
spent for consumption goods.
10 b sure, the CED plan proposes the reduction of excise taxes.
am th1S would be favorable to mass consumption. But leaving idle
capital untaxed and burdenng low-income groups with a verv heavv
income tax would clearly defeat the purposes which the President
rightfully stressed in his message.

WHAT IS FREE ENTERPRISE?

Reading a report of Henry J. Kaiseg's ideas of what the postwar
world should be like, w e wonder whether the advocates of Zee enter
prise" really know what they are talking about.
Kaiser is best known as a 'shipbundcr," because he manages
plants, financed with government funds, which turn out vessels for the
war efort.
Mr. Kaiser urged the utilization of government owned war plants as
a means of supplying jobs and high living standards and, at the same
time, declared that Il do not believe that many Of our people want to
change either II form of government or the basic essentials of free
enterprise"
We submit that there is a contradiction in Mr. Kaisers sentiments.
We likewise suggest that many people who speak gibly of free enter
prise either are trying to fool the general public or already have fooled
themselves.
How can enterprise be free if the government must supply capital
and plants-as it has done in the Kaiser industries? How can there
be a future of free enterprise if prosperity depends n government
financing?
We might also ask -
How can the products which the great war plants of the nation
can produce be sold for the profit of free" owners under free com
petton-which is the way of things under the form of government
that Mr.. Kaiser says most people wish to maintain?
he fact Of the matter is that the war has claimed freedom of
enterprise as n of its casualties. If the government itself had not
gone into business it could not have supplied the American armies nor
the soldiers and civilians of allied nations with all that is needed to
win the war And then-and by that very fanure-the United Nations
probably would not have remained united and even more probably
could not have defeated the controlled economy of Germany.
The fact is that while some big business men advocate a return
to business IS usual few really want free enterprise. What they want
IS government controls which will favor them. That's what they will
have to have to continue to do business when the war ends.
We believe it of utmost Importance that the American people
should be prepared for permanent economic controls. BY understand
ing trends they may shape the controls of the future to democracy by
soclalzing ownership of capital resources and producing wealth for
use rather than for profit-which is the only way to avert the calamity
Of government controls dedicated to the exploitation of the many for
the profit and power of a privileged class-Reading Labor Advocate

From American
Soldier in Italy

A Soldier-correSpondent from
Southern Italy writes: "They are
building a new army in Italy. This
might be a very important factor
in the social struggles of the flu
ture. They destroy the partisan
groups and separate them from
their approved leaders who in most
cases must start as privates again.
The new leaders the partisans
are finding in the army are regu-
lar officers with a more or less
pronounced fascist record. The
camps for the new soldiers are
filthy, food is bad etc. The Avanti
calls those centers ''centri di sab
otaggio." Once, when some par
tisans presented themselves with
red neckcloths, an old time officer
dashed toward them and tore the
red cloth from their necks.
The young people are the most
surprising. If you speak with
these youngsters who call them
selves socialists or communists,
who wear party insignia and paint
leftist slogans on the walls, you
Don find that they have little
theoretical knowledge or instruc-
tons; their socialism is largely
emotional.
Some of our friends voiced
doubts whether Socialist ideas
could still attract people after all
the years of fascist pseudo-social-
ist propaganda, yet these young
sters, born and educated under fas-
cism, accept the goal of Socialism
without any hesitation. But since,
or the other hand, they lack theor-
etical knowledge almost complete
ly, they are unable to distinguish
between Socialism and Stalinism.
Talking to them along nti-Stalin-
list lines meets with total incompre-
hension. If Stain were a socialist
his voice would have an immense
echo; as things are now, somebody
else will have to take over the i'm
mems potential ready for Social
ism.-Louis Clair in The Call.

But Tommy the Cork" was not

futile noise that when Lit

strange how little has been said
either in the newspapers or in Con
gress about Warren's far more
serious charges and his summary
of SO billion dollars worth of war
graft
In addition, there is big money
to be made in the sale of surplus
war supplies. The hog-killing may
be a long way off, but some of the
boys who mopped up after the last
war have already done a little pre-
liminary spade work, and, accor-
ding to Investigations, have come
out all to the good.
Notably prominent to date is
Jacob Goldberg, auctioneer, who
learned his way abuot auctioning
eff goods after World War J..
Goldberg has a lot of nice letters
and turned up as auctioneer for
the Defense Plant Corporation. AS
the result of his method of taking
doubie-handed toll, he was called
before a Senate committee, where
he Jared badly in defending his
methods.
In the last war, he did business
as the Goldberg Wrecking Corpo-
ration of Kansas City, Mo. This
time, he heads the Surplus Liquid
ators, Inc, of New York. He is
playing the big time now.

type in the background, and I'M

THE ROYALTY RACKET COULD
BE A TWO WAY STREET
BY HOFsES, Editor, Reading Labor Advocate

1t is interesting to note who is
shouting loudest against John l..
Lewis and his United Miners since
the miners union made a bid for
a royalty of 10 cents on every ton
of coal produced. It's the same
people who argued with equal
vigor all down through the private
profit system in support of the
royalty racket.
The trouble now isn't that any
thing new and unusually vicious
is being proposed by Lewis. What
hurts is that the wrong people
want to play the game.
Especially in coal, royalties arc
far from being an afterthought
There r a few families in these
free and independent United States
who, generation after generation
have been taking that kind of cut
without wen the justification Of
doing a minutes work to produce
coal. Even since the era of equal
ity of sacrifice was imposed upon

Yankee Policies Paw Rich Dividends

Just before he died, Manuel Quezon, the gallant little chief of the
Filpinos, said something like this to a friend: IF the United States had
treated the Fiipinos as some other great nations have treated the in
habltants of their Asiatc possessions, would not have urged my
people to resist the japanese. The Fiipinos are the only Asiatics who
willingly fight on the side of their foreign rulers"
Writing from this post near Manila, Colonel Phil" La Toilette,
former governor of Wisconsin, testifies that Quezon did not exaggerate
the friendship of the Fiipinos.
I'VE Americans could feel deep satisfaction in the attitude of the
Filpinos toward u.s." says phil" 1T is far more eloquent a tribute to
our policies than any one an speak or write. AS one goes along the
highways, the continuous, joyous welcome of the children is the most
convincing evidence of what the family really feels.
One might wonder if the older people just like a winner, but the
attitude of the kiddies tells what is in the hearts of their elders.
The G.. L. soldier is the best ambassador of understanding and
friendship we could have. He will take back with him a new estimate
and understanding of these fine people.

opportunity for them and for us if we don't muff the ball. l think we

Warren Tells of 5O-BiIlion-DoIIur Craft

Lindsay Warren, Comptroller
General of the United States, has
the job of trying to protect the
people of the United States from
thieves who take public money.
He estimates that the graft in
the var to date is in excess of $780,
900, 600, 600. Fifty billions is twice
the cost of the last war, graft and
all.
Warren is talking about the
padding graft of ''cost-plus-a-fixed
fee contracts. There is plenty of
other graft from overcharging,
cutting of quality and so on-but
the c~ost-plus racket alone has
taken so billions from the people.
In addition to what they have
taken for themselves, the war pro-
fiteers have cut the efficiency of
workers on padded payrolls as to
create the appearance of a IMAM
power shortage" when there is no
shortage.
This is the war that President
Roosevelt promised nobody would
make any money out of.
AS to just how we'll the Presi-
dents promise is holding good, the
SEC. reports the net working
capital of corporations has reached
a new record of SAG, 500, 000, 900,
as compared with $24, SOC, 600, 900
at the close of 1939-almost double
But this discloscs only a part
the extent to which the rich are
getting richer for during the past
five years the funded debts of cor
porations have been reduced by
many billions. Plant engagements
have been paid for and charged to
maintenance. All sorts of tax
lodging tricks have been utilized
to cover up profits converted into
hidden assets in one form or other.
Contingent funds total billions.
And then there is the matter of
tax refunds, which aggregated ST.
500, 000, 900 as of June, 1914 and
are piling UP at the rate of $780,
000, 900 every three months.
And, on top of this, there are
many other open to gar
ner billions in the adjustment Of
Government contracts when the
war ends.
Warren wants the law
ted which formerly made it a
criminal offense for Government
officials to quit their jobs to help
private firms prosecute claim
against the Government. This law
was repealed when the present
war came on. Evidently some
smart fellows in the Government

One Good News From EtuIy

Itays cooperative movement is showing a spirited resurgence
after a long eclipse under fascism. At least 100000 members belong
to various new and revised cooperative units, and the government is
growing interested in the movement as a promising means to aid in
national reconstruction.
~ Italian cooperativeS reached their maximum heights after the First
World War, but with chief emphasis N credit unions. About 1900
rural banks formed a credit pool in agricultural areas BY contrast,
about 80 per cent of the new cooperatives are of the consumer type,
which is considered a more wholesome development at the present
juncture. ~
Cooperative progress is advancing in agricultural activities, and
the new units are working smoothly with the communal food offices,
from which they obtain non-rationed goods at low prices tt is expected
that the great pre-fascist consumer unions will quickly revive with the
liberation of the large cities in North Italy where they once attained
considerable power and popularity. Ia
