Therefore, any new war would find
the allies confronted with enemy OPP
position of about ten times as many
submarines as the Germans possessed
at the outbreak Of World War II.
In these circumstances, it is not
surprising that Argentina = or other
countries = should be sensitive about
submarine reconnaissance at their
very shoreline. Perhaps if sinking
or two can be successfully achieved,
underseas reconnaissance operations
of the power which is now carrying on
this program will be somewhat dis
couraged and brought more within the
bounds Of what is considered normal
peacetime operations.

Small Men-Long Shadows

WHEN small men begin to cast
Wong shadows it is a sure sign that
the sun is setting.'
And too many very small men are
casting deeply black shadows across
America today.
Small-minded business men, more in
terested in making an easy dollar by
manipulation than a harder dollar by
producing values.
Petty politicians who act as though
they rule the people rather than serve
them.
Selfish labor leaders more interested
in power than in America, even though
their greed brings high costs, destruc-
tive initiation, deadly depression.
Greedy people in many walks of life,
who want their areas, their special in
terests supported by all taxpayers,
when they ought to be paying their own
bills.
Long shadows like these will continue
to grow until the entire country is in
eclipse, unless the real people, who do
the work and pay the taxes, wake up
to their responsibility and opportunity
By voice and vote, they can take their
country back again, and insist on honest
values once more, greater public in
tegrity, and hard work so that everyone
will earn what he gets. And we had
better do it, before that sun sets.

cality to make out his tax return.
This will save the taxpayer
money-the charge will not ex
coed $25 and will perhaps be
less. Don't be penny wise and
pound foolish" ;
What About Death Taxes?
These are very hard to avoid
If you are married and leave an
estate of over $4,000 (if single
$60,O0O,, but the federal tax can
be reduced in various ways. If
you are young or middleaged,
give a certain amount to your
heirs every year. You can give
$1,000 annually free of tax. You
are allowed to give annually
from 20 per cent to 80 per cent of
your net income to religious,
educational, and scientific
bodies. Such gifts l make regu-
larly; this is really joy.
The large investor, however,
who misses this 10y Of giving"
and is trying to be the richest
man in the cemetery" has an
other means of cutting death
taxes. Certain U. S. Government
Bonds can now be bought at a
discount Of about IS per cent or
more which will be accepted at
par in payment of death taxes
Hence, by investing in such
bonds to an estimated amount of
your death taxes, you can save
Is per cent or more by purchas-
ing them now and holding them
against your future death taxes.
Everyone can h edge against
taxes to a certain extent; but it
requires care, thought, pre-plan-
ming. and the help of a tax ex-
pert.

Subs Real Menace

THE recent incident of the coast of
Argentina, involving what was re-
portedly two submarines, is an interest
ing development reflecting the i'm
portanee of submarines and their
potential in future crisis.
Unfortunately, U. S. antisubmarine
equipment did not arrive in Argentina
in time to achieve the results which
were desired. AS this editorial is writ
ten, it appears that the submarine
thought to have been damaged has
escaped.
Although no one has positively
Unidentified the nationality Of the sub
marine or submarines involved, it is
widely assumed that they were Rus
sian submarines. The U. S. Navy has
annually reported the presence Of
potential enemy submarines off both
L. S. coasts. (The Russians have de-
MED, however, that it was Russian
submarine.)
In view of the fact that the Russians
can be expected to possess a weapon
similar to the Polaris missile (if they
do not already possess such a missile)
the reconnaissance operations of Rus
sian submarine become highly i'm
portant from a military point of view
AS the reader probably knows, Polaris
missiles are capable of striking tar
gets many hundreds of miles inland
with atomic WarheadS
The resentment of Argentine gov
eminent officials, and that Of officials
in other countries where similar Incl
dents have occurred results from the
fact that submarines are found OPP
Grating in what is considered Argen-
tine waters. AS long as the submarines
of any country stay outside the terri
tOrial waters of the various coastal
countries of the world, they are op-
Grating within the bounds of interna-
tional law, and are not rightfully sub
ject to military action.
In the incident off Argentina, this
was not the case, and the Argentine
government certainly showed no hest
fancy to react with all the military
force at it's command. This was UNI
able to destroy the submarine which
was detected, although this demon
stra t 10 n may discourage similar
activities in the future.
The gravity of the Russian subma-
rine menace is often overlooked by
many. The Russians today repeatedly
have between four and five hundred
modern submarines which compares
with some fifty-plus U-Boats available
to Adolph Hitler in September Of 1899.

Babson Discusses Hedges Against Taxes

Babson Park. Mass, Feb. 10
The wise investor is anxious to
hedge against three main .handi-
caps: % initiation, ~ labor
leaders, and 80 taxes. Let us
consider. this week, hedging
against taxes. These will surely
be more serious each year.
NOn-Taxable Bonds
All non-taxable bonds are
cheaper than they have been for
years. The full faith" Munich
pals are rated best; but think
that most of the turnpike Reve-
nue. Bonds are fairly good at
their current prices. If you buy
them now and later do not like
them. you can probably sell
them at profit. You need not
keep them until maturity.
When lending money on mort
gage it is wise to make a fairly
low rate of interest, plus your
approximate income tax. Then
your mortgage interest will be
net. Certainly, in the case of
rents you should insist that the
tenant pay the taxes as part of
the rent. This has many advan-
tages and is fair to all parties.
Of course, there is no way to
hedge against death taxes" ex-
cept by giving money away be
fore you die. I will discuss this
later.
Duties on Imported Goods
Certain cities, such as Buffalo,
offer opportunities to buy for
eign goods that are selling at
very low prices in Germany,
Japan. and other countries. You
must stay 48 hours outside the
U.S.A. and are limited to $500 In

NO COMMENT
BY JAMES W. DOUTHAT

WASHINGTON. Feb. II ~
There is general recognition in
Washington that one OF the big
gest tests confronting the pres
ent session of Congress is what
it will do about the So billion
surplus forecast BY the Essen
hover Administration for the
next fiscal year.
Thus far, two ma jor actions
taken would have the effect u
eating away substantial part
Of this surplus.
Economy advocates. however.
are relying heavily on Presi-

purchases at any one time; but
you can make purchases as often
as you wish. This is the only
honest way to avoid import
taxes.
Various other means can be
found to save taxes on merchan-
disc. These include "sales
taxes" which can be avoided
most easily by persons living
near the borders Of certain
states. There also are allowances
which your tax return permits
you to make on doctors bills,
medical costs, hospital charges,
benevolent gifts to churches,
etc.; also exemptions for certain
children, and other deductions.
You can secure a list of these
from your local bank.
National Federation
If you are an average business
man as well as an investor, you
should at once join the National
Federation Of Independent Bust

Association has secured some
helpful tax and other legislation
