The general belief is that Mr. Roosevelt will outline the current position of this gountry in relation to the world situation and, pos- sibly, announce in general terms the {uture course that he intends to pursue. Obviously, it is idle to speculate upon the contents of the President's ut. terance. Instead of announcing a future policy, it may be in the nature of an explanation of steps already taken and to be taken before May 27. re to In the verbal extremities of his denunciation nf the war purposes of the Washington administra- tion, Senator Wheeler has apparently now come 0 the conclusion that among other things against which he would have lhe country steel itself is a possible conscription of American girls to provide dancing partners for American soldiers in training camps. Senator Wheeler is a very serious-minded person, so it would seem unfair to ascribe to him in this connection an intent to be humorous. Maybe he really means it. Maybe he conceives it as a real danger. Maybe it is. But before an opinion iz ex- pressed, the girls should be heard from. Possibly they migint consider it a sort of appealing adventure. Possibly also Mr. Wheeler is just being absurd. In some parts of the United States there has been something approaching a sort of voluntary enlist- ment for this sort of thing. And so far as has been determined, “a good time was had by all.” Perhaps Senator Wheeler ought to look into that before he gets too het up about the devious and devilish pur- poses of the war mongers. Under present law, a married man with no de- pendents, having an income of $3500, pay a Federal income tax of $11. Under the Treasury's new reve enue proposal, he would pay $72, Demagogues ory this tax “soaks the iittle fellow.” But just how ‘little’ fs a man drawing 32500 a year? The Government's Intest. statistics show that 87 per cent of American families, live on an annual income of less than $2500. In fact, more than half of America’s families live on less than half that figure It's hard to know here to draw the line between the ‘little’ and the ‘big’ fellow. But certainly anyone who belongs, eco- speaking, to the upper 13 per cent, should consider that he is a big enough fellow to contribute %72 to his government at such a time as this. Sev- enty-two dollars won't go far. But it will buy three 75-millimeter shells, Or it will provide 71 days’ pay and rations for one drafted soldier who draws $21 a month and is fed at a cost of 32 cents a day-— end who, incidentally, really is a Tittle fellow’ and making a real sacrifice for his country. TN THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA. ENEMIES FROM WITHIN The foreign policy of the United States, as ap- proved by Congress in the passage of the Lease~ Lend Act in March, involves all-out assistance to Great Britain and China and any other nation that may resist aggression. That this policy involves some risk is apparent, but, in the opinion of many patriotic Americans, the danger is not greater than that invited by a policy of sitting quietly at home while the other democ~ racies of the world are slowly strangled. The President having proposed, and Congress having approved, the foreign policy which promises all possible assistance to the fighting democracies, there is no excuse for the tactics of certain Ameri- cans who continue futile verbal assaults upon the details of the national policy. Once the policy has been approved, the tactical details should be left to the discretion of responsible executive leadership, acting with due deference to the advice of our military and naval experts The Japan Times-Advertiser, recognized as an organ of the Japanese Foreign Office, gloats over every evidence of division in this country and as- serts that “American disunity undermines democ- racies and strengthens the Axis cause.” Other newspapers in Axis countries emphasize every criticism of the American Government in Its sfforts to implement our foreign policy, and some gn so far as to say that opponents have “put up a good fight, but they could not create a wave of pub- lic opinion capable of making a veritable revolution against the minority that is precipitating the Amer- ican people into war.” The above quotation comes from an Italian newspaper which is under the impression that a minority is precipitating this nation along its for- Naturally every American knows that the Government of the United States, in its reac- tion to the European war, and especially in its pledge of unlimited assistance to Great Britain, nas the backing and approval of the vast majority of Americans. Our people understand, of course, that there is risk of war, but they know that it does not exist because any minority, or majority, of the people of {his country want war The fact States and the foreign eign policy that freedom still exists in the United that citizens are permitted to criticise policy of their government creates an prroneous impression in the Axis countries where governments do not tolerate such comments. Consequently, the advocates of appeasement and ultimate surrender by this country encourage the Axis powers to cantinue their aggression when they persuade the Axis group that the United States has heen weakened by interhal strife and division The Lindberghs, Wheelers, Nyes and other bit- ter-end isolationists, have no idea that they can successive acts which will become neces- sry to carry out our national policy.

This would be the case in any free economy. Consequent- the Go i fewer decreasing : rnment is almost compelled to take steps to limit the buying power of the public As we understand it. and we admit that we do know too much about it, this can be done in several ways, One is to set a price upon goods and ommodities, Another way is to provide heavy tax- ation in order to dra off excess purchasing power. This end accomplished by persuading the peopl st fn Government bonds for defense n no also fivvan “or nant Ig The British Government recently atiempled to inaugurate a new system of control. It provided heavy income taxes, which included a plan for com- puisory saving. Thus, a man who paid $188 a year in taxes was given a credit of $48. which sum would become available to him at the end of the war, This plan has several advantages, Including the absorption of excess purchasing power during the emergency and an automatic provision for a avings account to cushion post-war decreases in the income of individuals, It may be copied in this country We hope the people of the United States will be smart enough to encourage the Government 0 take whatever steps are neorssary to prevent a repe- tition of the inflation orgy which developed in the United States during the last war. The remedy may seem to be harsh now bub it will be easy if it enables the nation to avoid a disastrous depression after the defense effort is unnecessary. FIGHTING NIGHT BOMBERS The British seem to be having greater success in shooting down German aircraft at night and from figures given out by the Air Ministry in Lon. don, the RAF seems to be making progress in its effort to overcome night-bombing. On the night of May 7, according to an Air Ministry communique, a record was set when twenty- four enemy aircraft were destroyed, twenty by fight- er planes, three by anti-aircraft gunfire and one by balloon barrage. This record has already been sur- passed by subsequent successes. Weatoer conditions, according to the British, were very favorable for fighter operations but the Air Ministry says that the main reason for satis- faction lies in the gradual and consistent increase in casualties inflicted on the enemy since the early part of the year. Everybody remembers the effort of German air- craft to cstablish mastery over the British Isles in the early fall of 1940. We were thrilled beyond meas- ure when the Royal Air Force broke up the German attacks, shooting down almost 200 German planes in one day. Since then, the Germans have taken to night raiding, which is destructive, but which the British hope to conquer in time. . Figures released by the Air Ministry show that there has been an increasing number of German planes destroyed at night. In January, it was fifteen, in February fifteen, in March forty-seven, in April ninety, and in the first week of May, seventy-four. The highest figure for any one night in Janu- ary was five on January 19, three in February on the 18th, thirteen In March on the 13th, thirteen in April on the 0th, and the encouraging twenty-four on May 7th, Since the establishment of the Rural Electrifi- cation Administration in May, 1835, more than 500,- 000 farms have received electricity and, in addition, private utilities have connected up about as many cdditional farms, Approximately two million farm ‘amilies have central station electric service, The time has come for the United States to sce cept its responsibility in the world as the largest and richest nation on the globe, even if Herr Hitler does not like it, P) THE Orrice CAT “A Little Nonsense Now and Then, Is Relished by the Wisest Men” What is a Man? Well, being one, we really don't know, but one of our ever-admirin’ readers sends this in: Men are what women marry, They have two feet, two hands, and sometimes two wives, but they never have more than one dollar and one idea at a time, Like Turkish cigarettes, men are all made of the same material, the elors, (3) Widowers.
