sumption and speed up the wheels of

It is unjust, unfair, and unscienti-
fic because il violates every prin-
cipIe of a good tax. Those who
earn $1,000Es1,500 spend 1880 Of
their income (1942) on consump-
ton while those who receive $780,
600 or over spend only 33.4% Of
their income on consumption. The
poor thus paid the tax on nearly
$500 Of their income, while the
rich paid that tax on only 33.4%
Of their income.
There are numerous other sources
of e that we need to explore.

COP VICTORY MAKES
SOME DEMOS HAPPY
BY PRESS

New York. = Here's a story that
partly explains why the democrats
were buried under a COP landslide in
New York state Nov ;
Into a swank night club on election
night swept Mrs. James A. Farley
with a group OF friends in evening
finery. We're celebrating a republi-
can victory" said her companions.
And how did you like the election
Mrs. Farley was asked.
Il loved it," she said frankly.
Mrs. Farley's husband. a strong
democratic machine man, is credited
with greasing the way to victory for
the COP. Farley democrats did prac-
tlcally no campaigning and created a
deep split in their party by refusing to
cooperate with the ClO-backed Ameri-
can Labor party or other progressive
groups.

Sales Tax


- EuRe ODfD
But the common people would have
less money in pocket.
Less Taxes No Solution
The solution of our problems is not
to he found in an attempt to do away
witt taxes.
SO ing as we are committed to the
idea that we shall carry on high stand.
ards OF services through group action,
the total of taxes paid will be greater
rather than smaller. That is in the
cards. 1t is an evolutionary certainty.
Our solution of the problems lies in
the direction of finding a just. scienti.
fic, fair. tax system.
Why is it that some communities
can carry on high standards of service
such as health. education. old age as
%sistance. and so on while others can't?
Why could New York state in 1899
1910 spend $156.S6 per pupil in aver
age daily attendance in school and
Mississippi spend only $30.72 per
pupil? Why, in June, 1912 did Missis-
sippi give $S.45 per month for general
relief and New York 1891 per case?
How could Massachusetts. in June,
1912. give about AZ times as much
aid to dependent children as Arkan-
sas? The figures $5G.13 and $14.32.
Is it lack of interest? No.
The poorest states are shown to
give a larger per cent of what they
have.
The problem is one of per capita
income. The per cent of income spent
for services does not vary greatly be-
tween states.
When New York spent $156.S6 per
pupil in 1889 their per capita income
was SS53.0O while Mississippi. which
spent $30.72, had an income of only
$4,000 per capita.
"Coionialism' Creates Tough Tax
Problem
We need to bear in mind that so
long as a state remains a mere raw
material producing state (do dare
say "colonial"?). in which case the
real dividends are distributed else
where, taxes are to remain a tough
problem.
That is my first point. The relative
tax burden thus is a question of pro.
ductivity-per capita income.
1t may be Of interest to add that in
1939-40. when New York had a per
capita income Of 1858. Montana's per
capita income was $541 and spent
S109.07 per child in average daily
school attendance.
The next point. and the only other
point | can present, is the matter of
what kind Of tax shall we select?
That, of course, has always been a
problem. but of special importance is
this study now. We are to have a legis.
lative session within a few months.
We need to be posted, organized, and
able to defend ourselves. understand
there is a movement OF foot to impose
upon us the worst. most unscientific,
unfair, and unwieldy tax yet devised.
That is the sales tax.

particular issues like the future conSti-
tutional system. Nenni remained as
president of the party and was asked
to continue as Vice Premier in the gov
ernment. A new executive was chosen
representing the different sections of
the party and the antifusionists are in
strong position since with the majority,
and with Sarragat and Ignazio Silone,
the great novelist, among its members,
they will preserve the devotion of Italy
to Socialist democracy.
This means that the present tri-
partite government will go on until
after the election of the Constituent
Assembly June 2. Everything depends
on the result of that election.
The second thing that was remarkable
in the congress was how vividly and
simply Italian interest in discussion had
come alive again. Every point speaker
made was seized upon at once. Dele
gates stood outside for hours after each
session, closed in argument. Every res
taurant was full of them. Every meal
was obviously controversy. :
1t was, too, particularly good to see
that the discussion had little of per-
sonal difference. This was debate of
doctrine among men who know how
high are the stakes for which they are
playing. They know, too, that this
eager. interest in politics requires action
if it is to be maintained. That means
quick peace, loans for raw materials
and acceptance of Italy with status as
an equal power.
No one can seriously doubt that the
longer these are delayed, the more diff
cult it will be for Italians to keep their
faith in the United Nations. If any OF
us makes them victims of power politics,
whether in territory in Europe or Africa
or in impossible reparations, we will be
destroying nascent democracy.
1t is necessary to say with great en-
phasis that no genuine Democrat in
Italy but wants republic. Those who
say that they desire a constitutional
monarchy like the British forget first
that its basis is absent and, second, that
linked with the monarchy are other ira
ditions behind which reaction conceals
itself. The monarchy lost out when the
King accepted Mussolini's policy of the
stab in the back"
The final thing worth saying is that
in the conference one saw the effect of
% years of Fascism on the young.

ural product. 1t has become a basic
raw material.
One of the advantages manufacturers
hope will accrue from the countrys new
position in rubber is stabilization of
prices, which in the past have fluctuated
fantastically. 1t is thought the price
for the synthetic we decide to produce
will tend to set ceiling for all rubber.
What this may mean is indicated by
an estimate of the Rubber Manufac-
turers Association, Inc, that in the past
a rise of a cent a pound in natural
rubber cost the American consumer
around $20O00,000. Prices have varied
from s1.2l pound in 1925 to 21a cents
a pound in 1882. Once, briefly, in 1912,
the price scared to $306 a pound. At
present the Government is buying rub
ber from British, Dutch and French
areas in the Far East for 2Ol4 cents
pound.
Stabilized Price an Aid
Manufacturers think a stabilization of
price will encourage stockpiling of nat
ural rubber and a search for new rubber
uses. In the past fabricators have
hestitated to try to market certain new
products when they were unable to guess
whether use of the products might be-
come uneconomical due to a sudden
price increase.
The proposals of the Bait Committee
are based upon the paramount consid-
Grafton that "the security of the United
States and the essential needs of it's
citizens must never again be jeopardized
by inadequate or uncertain rubber sup
plies" They were adopted unanimously
and represent the views of the Depart
ments of State. War, Navy Justice and
Commerce, and the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, the Office of Rub
ber Reserve, the Rubber Development
Corporation and the War Assets Cor
poration. Technical assistance was
given the committee by the Department
of Agriculture, the United States Tariff
Commission and the Civilian Produc-
ton Administration.
The recommendations of the committee
are predicated on the expectation that
natural rubber will continue in short
supply through this year and probably
most of 1947. Because of this, the rec
concentrations were divided into Short

By Harold J. Laski,
Chairman of the British Labor Party


LONDON.-The Italian Socialist party
conference which has concluded at
Florence is likely to be regarded as of
considerable historical Importance. It
was, in the first place, "a years since
it had been possible to hold Socialist
conference in Italy. Practically every
one, in the second place, from Pietro
Nenni, the vice premier of Italy, to
the son of the famous Matteotti whom
Mussolini murdered in 1924, had either
spent long years in exile or had been
a brave fighter in the Partisan war
against fascism in which the workers
of the north completed their own lib
Grafton from tyranny.
More, it was predominantly young
congress and Paolo Treves, distinguished
son of an eminent father, told me that
there were more woman delegates than
in tine whole previous history of the
party. There were men and women, too,
who had risked their lives week after
week acting as secret agents for the
British and American Armies. It was
a moving scene when the conference
stood up to salute the 100000 Italian
dead in our common battle for freedom.
There were three central features in
the discussions. First and outstanding
was the future relations between Italian
socialism and Italian communism. The
two parties have a working agreement
very much on the French model. A
section of the Socialists, with all pos
sible encouragement from Palmiro Tog-
Gatti, the very able casuist who leads
the Communists was very anxious for
fusion.
They desired working class unity, they
had a profound admiration for Russia
and more, they felt that nothing less
than social revolution would cleanse
the Augean stables in Italy and make
possible genuine, democratic revival.
I ought, think, to say here that these
views were undoubtedly strengthened by
the conviction that neither Britain nor
the United States intended to do more
than speak strong words on Spain and
that both of them would welcome less
republic in Italy to which all the
left is committed, than some form of
monarchy under Umberto. the present
regent.
And as the two parties are running
common electoral lists in many places.
Evening star., 1946-04-28

especially the smaller towns of the
South, as the surest way to offset the
influence of the Vatican and of big
business, they took the view that fusion
was the simplest policy to achieve their
end.
The ablest exponent of this doctrine
in its most rigorous form was perhaps
Roberto Bassio, lawyer Of real dis
tinction and the ablest theoretician the
party possesses. But he had good deal
of support from Nenni, an old fighter
for maximalism, whose main concern
was to get fusion if possible, but on no
account to allow the issue to split the
party. His speech in its support was a
skillful performance with moments of
great eloquence. 1t was clear that
Nenni was deeply skeptical of the bona
f1de of Anglo-American good will to the
left and to republican Italy.
The case against fusion was made
with great effectiveness by Giuseppe
Sarragat, lately italian Ambassador to
Paris, who resigned his post there to
fight this issue. His chief points were
firstly that after generation of dicta-
torship it would be folly to enter on a
road pretty certain to lead to another
dictatorship, however yelled in rhetoric;
secondly, that thousands who now have
left inclinations and have begun to
realize that only Socialist Italy could
save itself from reaction might be
frightened by fusion into voting for
Christian Democrats-all the Socialists
regard the Christian Democrats as effec-
lively mostly clerical party with a
left wing of mainly inexperienced youth,
the strength of which lies in the hold
of the church and the big landowners
on the share choppers of South Italy
and, thirdly, that any fusion with the
Communist party would mean that
Italian socialism would lose its inde-
pendence and pass into the Russian
sphere of influence.
For all important purposes Sarragat
thought that this would not only sever
Italian links with the west but might
lead directly to disastrous civil war.
After passionate debate, conducted in
an atmosphere, now of calm, now of
emotions so deep that the delegates
seemed to be running little civil wars
of their own in the hall, significant
compromise was reached. Fusion was
ruled out and the Socialists will CO.
operate with the Communists only on
Evening star., 1946-04-28

The United States emerged from the
war with $716,000,000 Government
owned synthetic rubber industry, an
economic weapon which has placed this
country in position virtually to control
the production and marketing of the
worlds rubber. Before the war we were
almost wholly dependent on rubber i'm
ports; today the opposite is true.
Before the war crude rubber, on
value basis, was the most important
single commodity brought into the
United States and we absorbed annually
about half the global supply. Today, if
we choose. we can cut our imports to
small fraction of the former amount.
The final disposition of our rubber in
dustry is a question currently under
study by Government Inter-agency
Policy Committee The solution will af-
feet countries producing natural rubber
as much as it will affect us, perhaps
more. The committee, headed by Will
liam L. Bait, expects to formulate de-
tailed recommendations by the end of
July; meanwhile, it has published some
recommendations and an analysis of
the issues, which it hopes will lead to
widespread comment.
The members of the committee think
national policy should be set in the
near future. Others feel there is ample
time for decision. The backlog of de-
mand is so great that the world can
absorb all the natural and synthetic
rubber that can be produced at least
until we'll into 1947. But not far beyond
the horizon is potential annual surplus
of about as many tons as world markets
are expected to assimilate
Would Cut Buying S250,0O0,O0O.
The possibility of this surplus COM
plicates an already involved problem.
Our total withdrawal from the inter-
national rubber market would mean
losses of up to $250,O00,000 annually to
natural rubber producers, serious blow
to the Far East and a condition which
would bring about there loss of our
markets for finished products.
On the other hand, it is generally
agreed that we should maintain a sub
stantial synthetic rubber industry, at
least large enough to take care of any
future military need. And manufac-
turers point out that so many improve
ments have been made, and are being
made, in synthetic rubber that it is now
superior for some purposes to the nat
