This Spite Tax Should Go

Every housewife who, In this era of high
priced butter has suffered the annoyance
Of having to color margarine for the family
table will be interested in the hearings
which start next week before the House
Agriculture Committee. Pending before
this powerful group Of farm belt repre-
sentatives are sixteen bills calling for re-
peal or modification of the discriminatory
tax on factory -colored margarine. 1t is
this unfair and unconscionable spite tax
which has forced housewives for the past
sixty years to do their own coloring OF
margarine.
The margarine industry is completely
Justified in calling this ten n-cents-a pound
excise levy spite tax" II it were really
what 1t pretendS to be-a revenue-ra1slng
measure-the repeal bills naturally would
be considered not by the House Agriculture
Committee but by the Finance Committee.
The tax idea had its origin sixty years ago
In farm-blo move to protect dairymen
from margarine competition. At that time
there was some ground for the dairy farm
ers' claims that yellow margarine was being
fraudulently sold as butter. Today, how
ever, the Food and Drug Act protects the
consumer against mislabelins of food prod
ucts. Moreover. margarine has been i'm
proved in quality to such an extent that
Its manufacturers have no reason to resort
to deception. A recent issue of the Journal
of the American Medical Association told
of two-year study by University of Illinois
experts which showed that margarine was
no less nutritious than butter. possibly
more so.
Repeatedly over the past sixty years the
margarine industry has sought to have this
unjust tax abolished. Invariably the bills
for repeal have been blocked from reach
Ing the floor by the Agriculture Commit
tees. This year the committee vote in
favor of repeal may be closer than ever
before, partly because OF q persuasive cam
paign by the margarine interests, partly
because of rising tide of indignation from
women who have Votes and partly be-
cause of a new and increasingly important
factor. This factor Is the soybean-pro-
ducing elepent of the farming industry.
soybeans have become major source of
oil for margarine. Farmers who raise soy
beans do not relish tax which operates

Improvement Of Auchincloss Bill

Improvement of Auchincloss Bill
Re ths1ditor OF Tho Star:
The criticism by your eolumnist Jesse G.
Suter, OF the Endorsement by several citizens
associations Of the Auchincloss home rule bill
lin principle" would impose q burden upon the
proponents of home rule which the opponents
do not have to carry. All that it appears neces-
sary for the opponents to do is to demand re-
lection OF the whole bill because some partieu-
lar feature of it does not meet with their ap-
proval, whether or not that feature Is essen
tial to the primary purposes of the bill.
Why. then, should not the proponents Of
local seIf-government indorse this bill lin
principle" as the best means yet proposed to
restore to the citizens OF the District Of Co
lumbia the basic American right Of local self
government, while leaving the way open for any
constructive suggestions that may be offered to
improve the bill?
It should be incumbent upon those who OBJ
ject to particular features OF the Auchincloes
bill to suggest amendments or substitutions.
rather than to oppose the entire bill. Destrue-
tive criticism rarely is effective in securing con-
structive results

More on Dangerous Politics

TO the Editor Of The Star:
II you will permit me to say So your editorial
on Palestine, printed February 25. sounded sick.
It admitted that appeal to economic reasons
and political expediencies was Grass and then
went on to say that the yielding to these SIX
pediencies was necessary. The logic of your
arguments leads to the notification Of human
dignity and abandonment of any pretense OF
government by law and principle.
II we follow the purely selfish and material
reasoning suggested in your editorial, how can
we. when airing our differences with the Rus
SLAMS, appeal without shame to the conscience
of the world?

To the Editor OF The Star:

cuss some facts concerning the grave situA-
ton In the Holy Land.
Speaking about Arab terror" In Palestine.
Mr. Adams says quite correctly that Arabs
too have suffered" but he ignores the funda-
mental difference between Arab terrorism"
and Jewish terrorism" :"
Everybody knows that since November 2s
following the proposal to partition Palestine
Arab bands supported by Arab countries, are
trying to fight partition by carrying on terror
activities against the Jewish community In
Palestine Since the British, who have been
expected to maintain peace and order until
Nav IS, fail to defend Jewish life and prop
erty. it is natural that the Jewish people are
doing their best to defend their towns and
settlements against Arab attacks.
The fact that Hitler's ally is the leader OF
Palestinian Arabs has nothing to do with Arab
rights to Palestine, but 1t has to do = lot with
the fact that since November 2e, 10000 Arabs
fed from Palestine because Of the Mufh terror!
NV belief Is that If 1t was not for the Mutt

Arabs could have lived peacefully together, do

thought; people who took lis in their homes,

I first saw Czechoslovakia.

turned to that country. This time went with
the few remaining members of my old OUTFIT

to our division. This time the people were
different. The hilsrio,sness knew before now
