Pc PERSONALITY
DEVELOPMENT

For personality development
forget yourself. Show interest in
the other fellow. Watch what g
docs.
Take for granted that people,
like you. People will respond
warmly if you give them a
chance. On the other hand, if
you act in a reserved, seclusive
manner, people will assume that
you wish to be let alone. If you
show that you enjoy your own
company more than the company
! G. others, they will let you have
yourself to yourself.
When you greet a person, greet
him happily and enthusiastically.
Say Good Morning!" as if you
mean it. Be natural in being
cordial to others.
Help someone else build up
the feeling of self-Worth. Make
people feel that they belong.
We must not fail to admit our
own defects.
We should admire our friends.
Believe in them; be loyal always.
In the totality of human relation
ships, human nature is remark

It is important to meet some
new people. Contacts are broad

Associate with people who are
successful and happy. Attend at
least one social affair each week.
Call on your neighbors. Go tc
church. Compel yourself to play
cards, or dance, or sing, or tell
stories, or play golf. When you

Handouts Fail in Europe's Crisis
u S. Failure to Assume Firm Leadership Leaves NATC
Like Football Team Without q Captain or Coach

The consensus of the majority
of qualified observers stationed
in Europe is that the medicine
prepared by Uncle Sam for his
ailing Allies, strong as it may
have appeared to the American.
people, has had only a superb
cial and temporary effect on the
Western European patients. Ac-
cording to official estimates, the
total amount furnished, based
on the United States popula-
ton of 154 million, represents
$1,150 for each American family
of five.
Some European statesmen,
such as Mr.. Spaak. maintain
that this sacrifice would have
been fully successful had the
American Government only been
sufficiently wise and experienced
in dealing with foreign coun-
tries to take the leadership.
This could not be denied to us
because of our contribution dur
ing the last war and as main
supporter of the Western civili-
zation in the postwar period.
1t is unfortunate for ourselves
and for the nations we want to
help that the modern Uncle Sam
has forgotten his blunt business
like talk and shirt sleeve diplo-
macy which went with it.

The small group of American
Senators who attended the
Strasbourg session of the Eu-
ropean Council last month were
astonished to hear Paul-Henri
Spaak, the wartime Prime Min
lister of Belgium. express some
of their own feelings about what
is wrong with Europe these days.
Mr.. Spaak said the main
troubles of the Western coali-
ton stemmed from Americas
reluctance to assume strong
leadership and tell the Eu-
ropeans what they must do in
very clear and unequivocal
words.
The NATO is like a football
team without captain and
with a coach who is too timid
to assign positions in the field
and tell each player how to
play. The result is the present
inevitable confusion and lack
of interest in the game.

cal leaders to take a firm hand

nomic and military recovery Of
Western Europe has been mildly
criticized in the past in this
country. Now it also has been
criticized abroad.
Nobody, and especially the re-
cipients of the American bounty.
can possibly criticize a demand
from Washington that they put
their house in order and keep
scrupulously their commitments.
Nobody could honestly criticize
a more careful control over the
economic assistance received
from this country or the fulfill
ment of obligations undertaken
in line with the military assist
ance program.
The American taxpayers have
provided in the last six years
more than $35 billion for for
eign economic and military aid.
This figure will soon be in
creased since France and Brit
ain will need additional sums be-
fore the end of this fiscal year.
We placed no strings on these
allowances to our Allies. They
were told that this money was
handed over to them to recon-
struct their economic life and to
organize armed forces which
would enable them to protect
themselveS-with our assistance
against aggression from the
east. But we did not presume
to control the manner in which
this money was used. This
would have been humiliating
for nations with a great past
and our political leaders did not
want to be guilty Of such an act.

An official connected with

has steadily turned a bold front

Since the military insists that
no new crisis impends in their

Korean situation may soon take
a turn for the better, it must
be concluded that the President
has at last grasped the magni-

himself that he had no warn

to our Allies for their economic

here and there, it was said,

Most American legislators
were shocked when they heard
soon after the defeat of the
Labor Party in England that
the new Conservative govern
ment had found not only an
empty treasury but also an
empty larder.
Under these circumstances,
Mr.. Churchill declared Britain
would be compelled by necessity
to drastically curtail her rear

would need financial assistance
from the United States immedi-

other kind of schooling in Korea
now under the enemy's gunfire.
They're not unlike tens of
thousands of other boys who
are waiting for the "ceaSe-fire"
in Korea, wondering just what
is the meaning of the sacrifice
they have been asked to make.
Under the system of "rota-
ton" those who do come back
can rejoice at their good luck,
but the purpose of their big risk
is just as blank in the minds of
most of them as it was when
they went overseas. Again and
again the problem of what the
real objective of Korea has been
or is haunts the minds of those
Americans who really have not
forgotten the war in the Far
East Again and again, how
ever. one meets people who tell
each other to forget the war
in Korea. The tendency to
write it off as a police action"
instead of a major war fits in,
to. a certain extent, with the
attitude of indifference that
many Americans have adopted
toward the fighting in Korea.
But if officialdom here regards
Korea as a side issue, American
citizens who know any of the
boys in Korea can't afford to do
so. The letter from David Fry
tells the story of lack of appre-
citation which is commonplace.
1t points up one Of the collateral
tragedies of the war itself.

1t is an obvious blow to the
President to be let down by the
people he trusted. But his
pain goes deeper.
One Of the most history
minded of United States Pres
idents. Mr.. Truman has felt
that in laying the groundwork
for a peaceful world, he was
assuring his place in history.
He was calmly confident that it
would be great deal higher than
his contemporaries admit: in
deed. that in Valhalla he would
not need to bow to his brilliant
predecessor.
The Western world under his
leadership has been arming
itself and growing steadily
stronger. AS the end of his
term approached he seemed to
see himself within striking dis
tance of his goal.
Now he is caught in shower
of scandals with the end not
in sight. Men to whom he dele
gated great authority have
hardly seemed to be running
their departments with the
most ordinary prudence or Wig
ilance. They are not scoundrels;
they have been weak and foolish
which makes 1t the harder to
punish them.

Thus this tax matter has two

President Coolidge called for
"unshrinking" prosecution. In
the field of taxation, however,
he was not so bold to challenge
big special interests. There was
an exhaustive senatorial inves-
tigation of the Internal Revenue
Bureau in his administration,
conducted by Senator James
Couzens Republican, of Michi-
gam, which revealed favoritism
by the bureau to big corpora
tions with lavish, unmerited re-
funds to them, including some
of the many enterprises of his
Secretary of the Treasury An
drew w. Mellon. Mr.. Mellon,
incidentally, had sponsored tax
programs greatly reducing taxes
on the wealthy.
At that investigation, Presi-
dent Coolidge bristled. He sent
a scathing message to the Sem
ate denouncing it for singing
out" Mellon companies, for call
ing for documents from execu-
tive departments, and lectured
the Senate on its place in gov
eminent. The role of Congress,
said he, was to make laws, not
administer them, which was the
Executives function. He saw the
breakdown of government if this
sort of procedure continued.
Interests successful then In
getting tax favors still are
active-and still successful, as
we saw in the last session Of
Congress. If the taxpayer wants
fair and square dealing in taxes,
it behooves him to watch both
ends of Pennsylvania avenue,
both the administration and
levying of taxes.

Two Ends of the T ak Avenue
Congress Must Act to Close Loophoes Fovong the Chosen Few
Even as President Moves to Clean Up Revenue Bureau

The attention of the Nations
taxpayers, which means most
of us, has been riveted on the
scandals in the taX-collection
system of the Internal Revenue
Bureau and in prosecution of
tax cases by it and the Justice
Department.
The Internal Revenue Bureau
is engaged in a cleanup cam
paign in which some go persons
already Rave been fired and it
is presumed that President
Truman intends to act to clean
up the Justice Department.
These steps are mandatory in
the interest of honest govern
ment and for equality of sac
rifice in taxes for our defense
program which requires fair
dealing without favoritism and
discrimination.
1t is to be hoped that the in
terest of the taxpayer, now that
it has been aroused, will not stop
with the administrative, collec-
ton and prosecution phases eX-
plored by the House Ways and
Means Committee subcommittee
headed by Representative King,
Democrat, of California. This
interest should carry over into
Congress, meeting again in jan
uary. which has sole power to
impose taxes. to say who pays
and how much. President Tru-
man is expected to ask for more
taxes.
The taxpayer, then, should
keep watch on Congress.
For Congress. in increasing
taxes over five billion dollars in
its last session. failed to follow
the principle of equality of sac
rif1ce, but instead Disseminated
in numerous ways in favor Of
the big taxpayer and against
the small taxpayer.
A group in the Senate fought
valiantly to remove discrim-
nations and loopholes, some of
long standing-favoritism in the
capital gains tax, in various ex-
emptions for corporations, in es-
tate and gift taxes, in excessive
depletion allowances, including
271a per cent for oil, a fiat de-
duction before taxes, and in
other technical lodges not un-
derstandable to the average tax
payer but which cost the Treas
ury-and him-many hundreds
of millions of dollars. In pre-
senting amendments to close
the loopholes. one of the group
