The W Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

PARIS-tby wireless = Despite Secretary Byrnes' new, laudable policy of open covenants openly ar rived at, some highly important meetings have been taking place behind the scenes at the peace con- ference here. For obvious reasons certain things have to be discussed in secret. Here are some of them: @ Session No 1-Byrnes got re- port via the British Foreign Office that Russia was secretly selling captured German arms to Sweden for resale to Argentina. This by no means made him happy. The Unit ed States has followed strict pol icy of keeping arms away from Fascist Argentina, and only one month ago, Argentine Chief of Staff General Carlos von der Becke made special trip to see General Eisenhower to plead for arms. Eisenhower said no. Now it develops that Russia is gathering up arms from occupied Germany and hand ing them over to Sweden for resale to Argentina on the excuse that it needs foreign exchange. Byrnes, in planning a formal protest in writ ing against this, also plans to take the matter up with Molotov per- 5onally.
 Secret session No. 2-Molotov has been trying to argue busy Jimmie

RATE BOOST IS REFUSED
 SHIP FIRMS
Maritime Commission Ex- dminer Denies InCreas-
 ed Charges Justified

A prelude to continuation here this morning of the Congressional inquiry into the problems of Alas ka ship operation was disclosure by the Alaska Development Board Council David F. Scoll that the U. s. Maritime Commissions Ex- aminer in the Alaska shipping rate case has recommended against any increases in present rates.
 Tn further recommending that the proceeding be discontinued, the Ex- aminer stated that costs of private operation were over-es estimated in his view.
 Scoll appended his opinion that the Examiners report, for which he anticipates adoption by the Maritime Commission, sharpens the need for some form of legislative relief for the Alaska service.
 Labor had it's first turn at bat in the hearing before the Jackson Subcommittee of the House of Rep resentatives' Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee here just be- fore tcday's midday recess. But tre leadoff men for labor were AFL spokesmen not primarily con- cerned in the several charges level ed@ at the ranks of seagoing and seaside labor by ship operators and Alaska residents.
 Passengers Blamed
 The cnly attempt to refite any of the charges made came from Frank Marshall nominal represen- talive Of the Sailors Union of the Pacific along wiSh other AF'L or ssniaalions Y in the Territory
 Ee endeas oraj to answer the pii- fe''ng charscs by laying a large proportion of blame for violation of ships cargoes upon passengers aDcard vessels.
 Previously, 'Vil.'n Sonar sier- eral Manager fe. he No, hls Id ransportatic Company and last witness for snc operators had de- clared he does not think any in- crease in rate will solve the Alaska shipping problem. His only sug gestion was restoration of the right to manage to ownership.
 Semar offered no estimate o1 rate increase that would allow pri- va'e operation of his lines ships under prevailing labor conditions He referred to pilfering-thc fore most evil-and uncertainty re- garding tie-ups such as the long, shore strike promised for Septem- her 30 as making it futile to esti- mate costs.
 The Northland company does not want to take the risk involved in operating under present conditions, he asserted. He concluded by con- curing in statements made by oth- CT operators witnesses.
 Legislation Proposed
 Most comprehensive attempt at solution of the Alaska problem was presented by Albert E. Stephan, at torney for the Alaska Transporta- ti Company. He submitted a propcced draft of legislation call ing for:
 1-Coltinued jurisdiction over Alaska shipping by the Maritime Commission.
 2-Certificates of convenience and necessity Tor existing carriers to regulate competition
 3-Competition in full Alaska service by authorizing all three present majcr carriers-Alaska Steamship Company, Northland Transportation Company and Alas ka Transportation Company-each to serve all parts of Alaska. He said his company hopes to provide substantial competition for the Alaska Steamship Company to the Westward.

ALL THREE NECESSARY

Discussing the efforts of
the General Assembly of
the United Nations to work
out a satisfactory agreement
for disarmament and con-
troll of new weapons, Sir
Hartley Shawcross, British
delegate, pointed out that
the problem involved three
phases, atomic control, the
abolition of other weapons
of mass destruction and ade-
quate and simultaneous in
ternational control.
The British representa-
tive made it clear that his
country would not accept
any agreement that related
to one or two phases of the
problem, but that it would
be satisfied with nothing
less than all three, with no
5 risk a veto on any one OF
them.

from only SIS per cent of

RETURN is IMPORTANT

Practically every leader
of business who attempts to
analyze the future eco
nomic prospects of the ma
ton stresses the fact that
the Government is taking a
large sum from every fam
lily and advances the theory
that. if the Government re-
duces it's expenses, the
amount will be saved.
While there is need for
economy in Federal expen-
ditures, and in the fiscal
policies of some of the
States, it would be a mis-
take to assume that all the
money that a taxpayer sends
to the Government is given
away without return.
DR.. Ralph Robey, chief
economist of the National
Association of Manufacture
ers, estimates that the Gov
eminent takes about $27 a
week per family, as compar-
ed with So per family in
1929 and S11 per family in
1889. Obviously, a large
part of the increase can be
attributed to the expenses
of World War II and the
expenditures that are being
made, even today, in con-
nection with that struggle.
The question for the peo-
pie of the nation to deter
mine, in connection with
what the Government gets,
is whether the Government
gives an adequate return.
This should be decided on
the basis of expenditures not
connected with the war II;
Certainly, everybody Will
agree that useless govern
mental spending should be
abolished, but it is some
what difficult to secure
unanimity in regard to par
ticular expenditures.

MERELY A QUESTION

One of these days Key
West taxpayers are going to
be surprised - astounded is
a more apt term-by city
and county officials. They
are going to announce that,
instead of further raising
taxes, they will curtail ex-
penditures and thereby low
er taxation.
City officials announce
that a sales tax probably
will be adopted to help
meet expenses. Regarding
that type of tax, which has
been opposed in the state
and the federal governments
for many years, it not only
is paid as usual by the ulti-
mate consumer, bat it en-
tails volumes of extra work
for business men.
What do a few cents
added to your purchase
amount to? The Citizen has
heard it asked. 1t amounts
to many, many dollars in the
course of a year-dollars
taken from families, whose
heads are not working, as
well as from families that
still have steady incomes.
Yes, local taxpayers are
going to be surprised or
astounded one of these days,
not only by the city and
county governments but also
by the state and federal
governments. With taxation
now more burdensome than
it has ever been in the his
tory of the nation, any
movement toward its reduc-
ton is hailed with enthu-
siasm. AS The Citizen has re-
marked before, the Repub-
licans, in the November
election, rolled up over
whelming majorities be-
cause they pledged them
selves to try to reduce in
come taxes
To attain that aim, they
will slash expenses wherev-
err they can be slashed. AS
a suggestion, would it not
be a highly commendable
action for city commission
ers, instead of looking for
more ways to tax the people,
to seek ways to reduce ex-
penditures?
What do you think Of that
suggestion, gentlemen?
