Treasury. that he had joined the
firm. He had been approached by
man he did not identity and asked
If he would undertake the re-
organization of Westermann's which
was being taken over by the Scherl
Publishing Co. of Germany. Eisele

economics and agriculture. Later
Goebbes' propaganda agency ac-
quired the Scherl interests.

Westermann's task, the Treasury
said, was to send such periodicals as
Aero Digest. the Coast Artillery
Journal, radio magazines and In
general, anything pertaining to
mechanics or the military.
The separate investigation showed
that between 1884 and 1910, Wester-
mann's remitted $180,000 in cash to
Germany and more than $75,000 in
books.
Disposition OF the Germans in
volyed was not disclosed by the
Treasury which said their cases had
been turned over to Federal enforce
ment authorities for action, but a
Justice Department spokesman said
Eisele and the company were in
dicted in the District last January
for failure to register as alien
agents.

"ANTI-STRIKE" ACT

Under the terms of the Smith Connally War Labor Disputes Act, the soft-coal miners of the country have just completed ballot the question, Do you wish to permit an interruption of production in wartime as result of this dispute?" This ballot was conducted under Government auspices and by Gov ernment machinery The taxpayers of the country, in fact including the fathers and mothers brothers and sisters of the in the armed forces will have to pay a tax of $500 900 to defray the expense of taking it. And under the ballot more than 208000 miners voted that they did indeed wish to interrupt war production if their new demands were not sat- sfactorily met Only 25,OOO of them voted against such an interruption.
 As many of these miners are themselves the brothers and fathers of in the service of men whose very lives depend upon the maximum American production and the uninterrupted flow of the stream of supplies one can only wonder at the perverted reasoning which made them vote by the overwhelming ratio of eight to in favor of willingness to wreck the whole effort unless their new demands were met This mystery only becomes deeper when We recall that the average weekly pay of these miners has already doubled since the outbreak of the war
 But even this mystery is as nothing to the mystery of the Congress which the veto of the President passed so fantastic act, and which refuses to amend it even when its most fantastic consequences

Furnishing the Thermometer
CNew York Times

(New York Times 1 The basic cause of imitation in the United States is the huge Federal deficit which has been running in the neighborhood of s50O0O 900 900 year. This has been largely financed by the creation of new bank credit and currency. It is the spending of this bank credit and currency that forces up wages and prices and brings about the results col ectiyelv known as inflation All the other of Initiation are secondary or derivatve Most of them in fact might better be called symptoms than causes
 The Government may reasonably contend that the war could have been financed without this infla- tonary process It may argue if it wishes, that in view of the factors the deficit could not have been kept smaller than it is. But it cannot escape from the fact that the basic cause of the imitation is the Federal deficit itself.
 Instead of attacking the cause of inflation the
 Government has spent the greater part of it's energies in trying to the symptoms The latest example of this is the attention is now giving to the recent proposal of Chairman Eccles of the Federal Reserve System that special wartime tax of 9O per cent be imposed capital gains derived from the sale of real estate stocks other capital assets held for less than two years
 This would be clearly an attempt to penalize the mere symptoms of infation It would be like trying to hold down the thermometer while increasing the heat By implication it would say that the real fault was not in the heat but in the thermometers that measuerd it..
 Such tax would bring about many inequities Why should one man be taxed 90 per cent of his gains on an asset which he might have been forced to sell while his neighbor, with a far higher income rom other sources, paid top tax say, of only 4o per cent? What is evil about capital gain as com pared with an increase in other income-divldends rens royalties salaries profitalso increased direct ly or indirectly by the war?
 If MT Ecces were merly arguing that capital gains should be taxed at the same rate as income his suggestion would be defensibe But If capital gains are to be taxed in full income, then in common consistency and honesty capital losses ought to be deductibe full from income But in the last twelve years the Government has been unwilling to accept either this logical corollary or It's 1lScai consequences
 The Eccles proposal, finally, if put into effect would not prevent advances in prices of real estate or of securities but it would reduce to an incalcuabe extent sales of real estate securities. It would freeze capital holdings in present hands and stem the flow of money into ventures, reducing produc- tion and employment.

NO DEAD TREATIES

Vandenberg rose later to explain that in using the words 'coroner's jury he was referring to the last war and the peace treaty that was killed in the same Foreign Rela- tions Committee Room.
 Republican Congressman Eaton of New Jersey also spoke briefly, re- 1 ferring to the fact that the Senate, ] by inviting members of the Lower House to the luncheon, finally had recognized the unused brains of l Congress" Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin, the only isolationist present, was also called on, to- gether with COP Leader White of Maine, the only Senator to de- liver a Friday afternoon oration.
 Hit of the luncheon was regis tered by British Ambassador Hali- fax, who, when called upon, said a little whimsically:
 T confess I was a little con- ,cerned when I heard my Foreign Minister express his delight that this conference was to be attended not by ambassadors but by foreign ministers"
 That's because not every coun- try can have an ambassador like you.' broke in Eden.
 But the problem of an ambas- 
 sador speaking before his foreign minister is always difficult con- tinued Lord Halifax If his speech is not as good as the foreign min ister's, then the ambassador is en- barrassed. And if his speech is better than the foreign minister's then the foreign minister is em- barrassed."
 And with few more pleasantries Halifax sat down, proving that he could do the impossible. Nobody was

 This is not an important day ir planetary direction. There is sigr read as presaging discord in 8 branch of the United States Army.
 HEART AND HOME Evil portents are read as presag ing increase in the number of brok en war marriages. Long separations contribute to inconsistency or incom- patibility, the seers point out.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Emphasis will be placed on man. agement of wages and incomes,> it is forecast. The nation must now concentrate upon ways of using its wealth to the best advantage. There is sign warning of future diffi- cuIties for reckless spenders.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Opponents of wartime regimenta- tion are to have much food for thought in coming months, according to astrology. Despite victory, armies and navies will be long employed, it is prophesied.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Japan's plan for one hundred years of war will be ruthlessly ob- liberated in the United Nations vic- tory but there will be slow work in completing final dominion over des- perate, barbaric foes. Next month is to be most important in the war in the Pacific.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of lucky year. Taurus folk will be conspicuous among world war heroes.
