 Still when tax bills come around, most of us are inclined to balk and squrm Yet we would not de- prive ourselves for an instant of the services our taxes buy. We wouldn't deprive ourselves of good streets and roads, of fire protection of police pro- tecton of any of the orderly processes of government which taxes finance.
 When taxes increase, it is popular demand which increases them We as a nation, constantly clamor for more and more in the way of government service We constantly ask the question, Why does not the government do something about it?" We often declare there should be a law against that!" When our pressures grow sufficiently in volume the government docs something" or there is "a law" And in both instances pile up the costs of state administration
 The most of money today comes back to us in one form or another. Unfortunately have come to accept the services of government as we accept the air we breathe-as something which costs nothing Perhaps if we Studied closely our political processes we would realize that in our oresent-day civilization everything costs money-even he water we drink; even-if it is pure-the air we breathe. There is but way to raise that money: through system of taxation. Either we pay, or we eturn to primeval state when every man wrested lis living from nature, and when civilization hadn't yet begun to dawn in the minds of the primitive human race.

FREIGHT EMBARGO

Juneau will have limited service indeed of freight shipments from the South with the imposition by the Alaska Steamship Company of a freight embargo on Juneau until there is definite uninterrupted resunp- ton of longshore work at this port.
 Passenger service into Juneau apparently is also doomed to take a sudden drop with the announcement by the Canadian steamship company that it will not call at Juneau and subject it's tourist passengers to the discomfort and embarrassment of having thelr vessel picketed over dispute with longshoremen
 Altogether the outlook is not at all bright for the merchants and ownspeople who will get it in the neck from two ways unless things take sudden turn for the better
 Not only will the merchants have difficulty ln supplying buying demands, but the loss of the tourist traffic will a loss of thousands of dollars a month in trade something which will be felt not only by the merchant but by all since the tourist dollar trickles down into good many hooks and crannles
 One can hardly blame the Alaska Line for taking this drastic action since it isn't profitable to send freighters into the Juneau harbor where in all like uhood the pershables will rot because they are not nloaded and other freight must be carried back to Seattle = not when the ships can carry freight for other ports where the ships will be unloaded.
 This, then is the happy postwar world we have all been waiting for-Oh, happy postwar world!

 is position without any analogy in the practice of other governments This much can be said: an in ouirer into what makes Government tick would eventually wind up in the office of the Bureau of the Budget MT Smith, as the head of it. has been a combination of business manager and secretarat for the executive branch. He is, therefore unlquey equipped for the world bank position AS a budget officer he knows all about budgets and the world bank when it sets up in business, must be watchful over the budgets of borrowing countries He knows
 Government practice too For aside from his intimate knowledge of our Federal Government (nobody knows lit better than he does he has had rich experience with governments on the State and local levels. The confidence of the investing public in the new world bank will be fortified by the selection of MT Smith in President Roosevelts time, MT. Smith was so invaluable that, when he submitted formal reslgna- ton after the last election, MT Roosevelt it is related threatened to station at MT Smiths side Marine guard from Ouantico The Budget Director has done
 the same service for President Truman The function of budgeteering has been transformed under MT. Smiths direction. Formerly it was restricted to the narrow confines of Government intake and outlay
 under MT Smith it has been related to the national budget, so as to make it serve purpose In the utilization of our national resources. The transition | is not yet complete, but the groundwork Tor the transition has been laid. Similarly as the Alsop brothers have lately been insisting more formal
 Cabinet secreariat must some day be available for
 the streamlinng of executive Government. In this
 particular also MT. Smith has laid the groundwork
 The Governments loss is the world banks gain What MT Smith has done for our American community he
 can do for the world community. His appointment will help undermine the complaint which has been heard of late that world organizations are suf-

 Q. Did the manuscripts of all books published by Flanders Hall originate in Germany?
 A. No. I believe that Flanders Hall also published one or two books by Congressman Stephen Day about British propaganda.
 Q. Did Viereck help write any of these books?
 A. I don't know. He may have helped Congressman Day. I seem to remember Viereck saying he had written down some highlights for Congressman Day.
 @. Did Vlereck ever mention the name of Senator Lundeen to you?
 A. Yes.

HEART AND HOME

HEART AND HOME
 Many women who were occupied through the war years in jobs that were both interesting and profit able are now finding it difficult to adjust themselves to the limited interests and duties of home man. agers; but they will do well to compare the many advantages and disadvantages of the two roles be- fore considering a return to work outside the home.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Some businesses which normally adjust themselves to summer slump" will find this summer an exception to the rule. In a num- Der of lines goods are now being produced in quantities never equal ed before the war.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Intelligent weighing of the re- spective claims and charges of management and labor inevitably must reveal that all the sound ar guments are not on one side. That neither side is seriously concerned about the public interest is unde- niable.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 The drums of a third world war are heard in the night but they are false signals. Fear, cynicism, pessimism and suspicion inspire these dire predictions.
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A year of harmony in the home and pro gress in a major project.

Viereck was employed as the chief Nazi propagandist for Germany in the U. s. A., Captain Harris asked: I'd now like to return to the role which Viereck played in this studied program, which the Nazi Government had worked out to keep the United States out of the war. You mentioned yesterday that Viereck was appointed public relations counselor of the German Library Of Information.
 Von Stlempel: Yes.
 Captain Harlls: Did he also have any connection with the Flanders Hall enterprise which you men tioned yesterday?
 A. Yes.
 Q. Please explain to us the precise details of that connection.
 A. Flanders Hall was run by two brothers named Hauck, under Vie recks direction.
 o. Exactly what did Flanders Hall do?
 A. The manuscripts of certain books came from the Foreign Of- flee in Berlin in the diplomatic pouch or otherwise, and then went to the German Library of Infor- nation. Viereck selected from those manuscripts those which he thought might criticize and unmaSk Brit ish propaganda and egotistic Brit ish foreign policy, and which could easily be sold in the United States. Q. Then what happened? A. Vie,eck would publish these books at Flanders Hall. If he ! thought a financial risk was in- volved, he would contact me, and say that the costs would amount l to $5,000 or sometimes even to $10,- 900.
 ! Q What did you do?
 A. I drafted a report for the Chief of Mission, which was cableG to Berlin and, after having re- ceived approval, Viereck would re- ceive the money. He always re- <, ceived lump sums of 5 to t thousand dollars.
 Q. Do you recall the names O the books that you and the For. eign Office approved and whost publication by Flanders Hall vol directly financed?
 Anti-British Books
 A. I remember Lothian versu Lothian" English Policy in In |. dia," English Policy in Ireland, , English Policy in Palestine" Brit : aims 100 Families" by the German l author, G. Wirsing. The manu scripts of these books had com l originally from Berlin, and wer then published by Viereck after
 had advanced funds for him. Q. Did the publication of eacl

of these books entail a loss?
 A. I don't know. I don't believe so. Bookc about Ireland sold cas- fly. Lothian versus Lothian" was a big success. The book on India sold well. Some didn't sell so well.
 Q. If no loss was sustained in the publication of any book, did Viereck return the money you had given him?
 A. No. He kept it.
 Q. Did he also keep all profits on books he distributed through Flanders Hall?
 A. Yes. @. How much did you give Viereck to carry out his propa- ganda activities?
 A. Between 70 and l20,000 dol

EquolitY in Russia
A Noble Attempt
By LANGST0N HUGHES
In The Chicago Defender


When the Soviet Revolution took
place In Russia, there were many
millions more rough, rowdy, loud,
uneouth, dirty, and vulgar people in
Imperial Tzarist Russia than we
have ever to this day had among
our Negro population Of the U.S.A.
The Soviet government inherited
from the Tar the largest group
Of complete illiterates Of any mod
ern nation. Almost nobody knew
how TO read and write. They were
far less well read than Bilbo.
They INDUCED in pogroms and
cut and killed up each other on
the least provocation. Men in old
Russia carried knives longer and
sharper than those any modern
muRger ever managed TO get into
his pocket or up his sleeve. In
fact, Cossaeks, Tartars, and others
carried bowie knives and swords
from one 70 six feet long. And they
enssed anywhere they wanted to,
loud and long in public places.
Even at Court manners were on
none too high q plane. And, accord

sites, to be repaid over a long
period of time at a low rate of
interest. The removal Of six mil
lion colored people from the South
within the next six years and their
resettlement on a sensible plan
worked out for them in advance
Of their removal would go a long
ways toward solving the race prob
lem in the South which, if not
solved on the basis Of equity and
justice, will void Americas eff
fectiveness as a leader in the strug-
gle for world peace.
The other six million who will
remain in the South will need the
aid Of all people of foresight and
good will outside the South, in Sc
curing the type of education which
will enable them to compete, in the
struggle for a living in any part
Of the United States.
There is a studied effort on the
part Of the ruling powers of the
South to insure inferiority in col
Ored people by segregating them
and cutting them off from the
sources Of vital information about
what is happening to them and the
peoples Of the world. The exploitive
type Of white and colored leaders
engage in a huge conspiracy to
tighten segregation laws to facili-
tate the exploitation Of the de-
fenseless masses in the South. That
is another reason why planned mi
grafton and resettlement of six
million colored people in sections

lions giving them a chance to work

farming which will throw millions
in the bread lines, from some
source there must come the where

ance and financing to enable hun
dreds of thousands of industrious,

Ored people to get into the business
of producing things the world out
