Senator Al- wnich hds been rejected as im- len Ellender of Louisiana, de- PHteticai by most all congressmen manding that this government re- wno have analyzed it. The treas- ceive raw materials and bases in ury plan calls for high increases exchange for supplies, gave fig- jn income and in corporation ures that we are spending more Jwtes plus big boosts in excise than all our allies put together tAjes on luxuries. and that our debt is greater than Financial experts who have all of the nations put together. He analyzed the treasury proposal de-; said our’ per capita debt now Clare that it is unsound and stands at $935 while the per capi- M£ny charge that it is teeming ta debt in Great Britain is only wltti politics. They point to the $164. He added that bur lend- plan of getting rid of the Victory lease expenditures alone for 1943 2m, which is included in the are only three billion dollars less treasury measure, as a plan to get than the total war expenditures votes^ by excusing 9,000,000 fam ilies from nayine a tax next year. of Great Britain for this year. Whether this problem will be Critics also point out that/ un- ironed out at the important meet- der the treasury plan, in some ing of foreign ministers in mos- siates a man earning less than cow is uncertain, but it is hoped $5,000 a year would have more that all subjects which are apt to bn between Allied na- M -V. money left over after payment of taxers than a man earning three or four hundred thousand a year. In New York state, where there is also a state tax on income, it iy estimated that a man earning $480,000 a year would have to pay a tax of $402,000—an actual loss for the year. The treasury admits that four fifths of our present high nation al income goes to people earning less that $5,000 a year and con gressmen therefore feel that any revenue measure will fail that doesn’t increase the tax on this group. A-sales tax, which would tax people in accordance with the amount of goods they purchase, 3s considered by experts to be a sound plan during this period of scarcity of merchandise. Repre- • co - tP*1ve Robertson of Virginia, the first to propose a 10 per cent s,'- les tax. estimates that this tax alone would bring in $6,000,000,- 000 in additional revenue. As a substitute for additional taxation, there is expected to be a xnalor movement in congress aimed at. decreasing government '-WfMSSaitufes.-On their visits home, during the congressional recess, conaressmen learned that the people realize the need for high t«*xes but vehemently object to the waste of their tax money by cause friction tions will be given attention. The Moscow meeting, between Secretary Hull of the United States, Foreign Minister Anthony Eden of Great Britain and Rus sian Foreign Minister Molototf is expected to have a lot to do with ' ■ rerunning the length of the war. If Germany finds that her three powerful enemies are able to reach agreements on war strategy as veil as on peace time planning, the Nazis should then be most ready to admit defeat. Although the Moscow meeting is referred to as a “practice session” for the peace conference after the war, it is looked* upon with almost as great importance as the peace e itself.

Second, we should be wise enough to take advantage of higher incomes to build up re serves for the day when prices and incomes go down. “Our enemies are well trained and eouipped, and our fighting men do not have a chance with out an abundance of the weapons of modem war. Their fortitude alr*nf» is not sufficient. “Prices now received by farm ers for their products will not last forever! It is conceded by almost everyope that the time will again enm^ when farm prices drop to a low level. Farmers’ in comes now are not real incomes. They are not replacing machin ery and eouioment or making ^orm°l repairs. Many ’farmers are, therefore, investing in War Bonds the money which would ordinarily be soent for these pur poses.
