Limit the Power TO Tax

the American people would ever bear
in consequence of it's enactment.
But as the disillusioned American
people now we'll know, the burden
steadily increased as the years
passed and eventually reached the
present CONFISCATORY stage
which permits taxation up to
NINETY PER CENT of annual
income.
It is not alone the rapacity and
responsibility of the government
SPENDERS which brought about
this ruinous situation.
The folly of the PEOPLE, in per-
hitting the spenders of money un-
limited power to tax the people, is
the root of the evil.
I EFT the American people make no
~ mistake about the fact that they
are not going to get either tax limlta
tion or tax reduction after the war
as mere matter of NECESSITY
AND RIGHT.
They are going to have to FIGHT
for these essential things, upon which
their postwar progress and pros
perity and welfare and happiness
will so vitally depend.
The time to start that fight is
NOW, and the only time to end it is
when it is finally WON.
The tax limitation amendment to
the Constitution of the United States
should be ADOPTED before the war
is over, in order that the people of
the United States shall be free after
the war from the oppression and
tyranny of Squandering bureaucrats
without either the conscience or the
wit to govern within the resources of
the people and in the true interests
of the people.

THE real difficulty is that

America faces the danger of
becoming capitalistic island IN

We can help, but we cannot
maintain The world.
We can assist but We cannot
support indefinitely.
The question is where and
how TO draw the line.
Mr.. Truman will have to deal
with these problems specifically.
He will be asked for postwar
credits amounting TO many bill
lions of dollars, even as high as
SIC. 900, ,0O0, 900 or more.
He will be asked for ships,
ships that We built for war pur-

needs for commerce.

TEHERAN, Yalta, San Fran
Il ciSco were maths 10 peace.


l. cisco were paths 10 peace.
In themselves they produced
neither peace nor completed
mechanism of preparing for
peace.
Teheran and Yalta were. in
fact. confusing meetings from
which IL may take years 10 re-
cover an international comfy,
for they established an alliance
and a balance of power.
In fact. Yalta represented not
cooperation but appeaSement,
not international justice but
hopeless WEAKNESS with the
problems Of war and peace.
Yalta was the finale of Mr..
RooseYeltS s foreign policy and
undoubtedly was the lowest
point in American diplomacy.
Mr.. Truman was able 10 halt
the Yalta policy of appeasement.
He brought fresh personal
ity to the international scene,
but a personality that Euro
peans cannot readily grasp.
Mr.. Truman is not likely 10
wear his policy on his sleeve
and even Americans will long
wonder at his moves.
Certainly the Europeans will
find him very different from
Mr. Roosevelt.
He will listen more. talk less.
He will have fewer anecdotes,
fewer personal "reminiscences.
But he is likely to stand more
firm, to be more positive, to be
more sure.
And he is not likely 10 become

THE war, with its enormous
NECESSARY expenditures in
addition to its excessive WASTE
AND EXTRAVAGANCE, has had a
natural and unavoidable tendency to
submerge and suppress both the sub
ject and the merit of tax reduction.
However, it is significant that
even with the war in progress, the
legislatures of nearly third of the
states have passed resolutions asking
Congress to ADOPT the limiting
amendment-to be effective after the
war, and thereafter during all time
when the country is at peace.
Similar action is contemplated in
many other states, and if two thirds
of them make the same petition to
Congress it will be mandatory upon
the national legislature.
THROUGHOUT the nations ex-
perience under the federal income
tax law there has always been strong
realization of the inherent DANGER
in unlimited tax power and urgent
objection to ruthless and irrespon-
sible exercise of that dangerous
power.
In fact, the nation was anxiously
aware of the evil that lurked in the
original income tax law and would
have rejected it, but for the suave
assurances of its persuasive advo-
Gates who disclaimed any aspirations
for excessive and ruinouS taxation
under the measure.
So, far from admitting the ulti-
mate possibility of even a 25 per cent
tax under the bill, it's advocates
talked blithely of ONE PER CENT
tax as the probable maximum burden

PART ii


Il United Nations charter as Il now stands
is just JUMBLE OF WORDS and that
those words will or will not acquire
meaning according to the amount of power
which the Congress decides to grant to
the American representative on the Sc
curity Council.
If the American delegate be given
broad powers, the direction of the foreign
policy of this country will in everything
that matters be shifted from the White
House and Capitol Hill TO wherever the
United Nations organization sets up shop
and in that case, no matter where the
organization sets up shop, 1t will be
directed from Moscow.
The critical issues will be presented to this
country when the bill comes before the
Congress defining the powers of the American
delegate.
We may then expect from the groups
that are now clamoring for a ratification of
the San Francisco memorandum, TERRIFIC
PROPAGANDA for giving the American
delegate such broad powers that he can
commit this country at will.
The plea will be that unless the repre-
sentative has these powers the organization
cannot function to prevent war-by making
war.
1T is the hope of the internationalists and
i MISUNDERSTANDING the Communists
that If only the organization can be got under
way in an innocent and harmless fashion, 1t
can FEED ON IT'S OWN POWER and in
sidiously become the world state which was
implicit in the Dumbarton Oaks proposals
and which was knocked out at San Francisco.
II was the fear of world state that
brought on the clash between the big and the
little powers at San Francisco.
Out of that clash emerged the one solid
accomplishment of the conference 1t was not
on the agenda and it is not yet being publicly
discussed.
II is being represented that the so nations
present eventually composed all their differ
ences and marched into the ark two by two.
That is simply not true.
The critical point was on June 13 when the
Yata voting formula came to vote in COM
mittee.
The smaller nations could then have broken
up the conference-just as they could have
broken it up on a number of previous
occasions.
They did not break it up because the
Latin American nations and the United Ma
tions and the United States had arranged
that the act of Chaputepec, which is a hemi-
sphere solidarity pact signed at Mexico City
on March 3, 1945, would be elevated into a
solemn treaty so that no action of the United
Nations could touch the affairs of this hemi-
sphere unless the nations of this hemisphere
so desired.
TTNHE Yalta voting arrangement, giving the
Il absolute veto TO the five great powers
which, in effect, reduces the charter to an
alliance, with trimmings of the United States.

emily approved on June 13 by vote of 80

This one seems 10 come within
the realm of maglc-polltical
magic. 1t should have been en-
titled How 10 be a politician
IN one easy lesson. Caught
between the army and the lob
bies. the committee favored both
opposite courseS-ln moderation,
of course.
Committee Chairman Wood
rum tossed all the hot potato
evidence he had amassed into
the air, then caught and came
forward with some conglomera-
ton which steamed in the head
lines.
Actually, it is cold potato
salad. His pride in II did not
leap even to ordinary bounds, as
he did not even have IT printed
in the Congressional r cord,
which prints all congressional
thoughts for the asking.
Upon close inspection, you
- Will find the report did not
endorse the war department
program, but was worded to
sound as if IT did, by approving
the principle and the broad
policy yet underlined.
Among members of the Wood
rum committee is Rep. James
w. Wadsworth of New York,
who is supposed TO have seen TO
the wording He wants 10 draft
all youth of 1S or Whereabouts
for year in the army.
Talking around with the COM

favor a democratic substitute
such as advocated by the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars for train
ing boys in sc h ool S, without
interrupting their education. ex--

oppose this. excepting it seemed
TO want the youths drafted
for II.

program, following the lines
outlined in this column since
last September, now rates the
best chance of adoption by Con-
gresS in the end-without a
draf 49, but only after more
magic and SemanticS. Next will
come a report from the House
military affairs committee and
this may recommend drafting,
as military totalitarianS are IN
the majority there also.
But on the floor of the Sem

ity for a youth draft would be
hard TO find. CompulSlon for
