Haoviar Taxes Coming
THE future holds no consolation
for the American taxpayer. In
fact It promises only a heavier
burden, according to Dr. Henri S.
Eloch, a French fiscal expert, on
the staff of the University ot
Chicago as a research economist.
Increased taxes, price control and
rationing, necessitated by the war
effort, are only a foretaste of
what lies ahead, Dr. Bloch pre
dicted. Asserting that present
taxation Is producing only one
fourth of this fiscal year's govern
mental expenditures, against one
third during the last war. Dr.
Bloch declared this ratio must be
raised to one-half if the United
Slates is to reach the level In
Great Britain and Canada.
Personal Income taxes have be
come the biggest source of na
tional revenue and will remain
In this position with expansion in
war financing, Dr. Bloch said. He
went on to say:
"Pressure groups are si ill try
ing to protect the sectal in
terests. Loopholes such as tax
avoidance by filing separate re
turns, lax exemption of slate and
local bonds, and the depletion al
lowances for mines and oil wells
benefit a minority at the expense I
ol the majority. The treasury has i
long demanded the closing of j
these leaks.
"There will probably be 'forced
savings' or "deferred pay' as It
exlsls in deal Britain and
Canada. The low income groups
should get a future return on
part of their tax. This would en
hance their security."
Dr. Bloch said that the victory
tax, a 5 per cent levy applying to
wages and salaries beginning Jan.
1, "Is just the beginning of cur
rent tax coiled ion at the source
and of post war credits. Both
principles soon will be applied to
income taxes as well."
All of which is hardly con
ductive to holiday cheer, but
accept such solace as you may In !
the thought thai It is betler lo
pay taxes regardless of their
size lo Uncle Sain, to preserve
your freedom, than to pay tribute
to the axis as the penalty of
servitude. Digging deeper into
jour purse may be very unpleas
ant, but It doesn't carry the haz
ard experienced by the boy who
digs in on the battlefield lo make
your country a safe place in
which to live.- L.RK.

Willkie Urges
Common Accord
Raps Censorship
NEW YORK, Dec. :) -I API
Wendell Willkie expressed belief
yesterday In a message to the
people of England on Ihe anni
versary of Pearl harbor that
Americans and Britons could
reach conclusions as lo the pur
pose of the war "that are sound
er than the wisest pronounce
ments of temporary leaders."
"The right of free expression
and all it Implies was attacked at
Pearl harbor." Willkie said.
"Let's get on with Ihe discus
sion." The message was cabled lo
England and was to appear In '.o
day's issue of Lord Beaverbrook's
London Evening .Standard.
Willkie said it was his opinion
that If a common accord of our
purposes was not reached "while
we fight, we will Inevitably fall
apart when the fighting is over"
and It was for Ibis reason, he
added, that he was dying lo
"prod the leaders of both na
tions "inlo frank statements nf
their post war purposes."
"And il is for this reason," he
said, "that I fight for the iight
of your people and of mine :o
express themselves freely :o
each other, unhampered by un
necessary censorship."
The 1940 republican presiden
tial candidate said thai interna
tlonal censorship generally was
set up for one of two :-easnns-"eilher
lo protect our feelings, is
if we were supersensitive chil
dren, or to cover up offical :nis
lakes." "For instance." he continued,
"A day or two after our .-olla-boration
with Parian was :in
nnunced I was reiuired to delete
from a talk I was making to .be
American people my condemna
tion of that policy and no vefer
ence to inv posit loll was allowed
to reach Kngland.
"At the same time similar iiiiv
demnalion of our policy was e
ing made in parliament and we
learned by radio and press .hat
there was grave disapproval of
it in England, as there was in
America.
"To illustrate still lurther ihe
deviousness of official censor
ship, we likewise read in our pa
pers of your government's e
lusiil to allow I VI I. mill- to hrnad
cast his protest over the "ai Ian
arrangement for fear ot mbar-
rassing our government.'
Allies Should End
Pact With Darlan,
Gen. Catroux Says
LONDON. Dec. i i.M'i Gen
Georges Cat mux declared yester
day thai the expedient of illicd
collaboration with Admiral Dai
Ian in French North Africa
should be ended quickly lier.uise,
"speaking on purely military
grounds. I say Parian is danger
ous." The Fighting French author!
ty described the hat lie of north
Africa as one of cnmnuimi itions '
and cited the distances over
which allied lines must be main
; tallied and the scarcity ot air I
bases. j
"One cannot aoul lecling a j
certain apprehension when one.
considers these lines ot nmmun
icalion under the control ot a
,man like Parian." General Cat
roux said.
I He declared that an agreement
with Gen. Giraud. who heads i
I French north Alricjn force t:g!i!
iing alongside the Americans and
s par orr.
HtA StHViCf. WC
THE MOMOPOLIST
British, would have been equally
effective.
General Catroux's statement
was the bitterest and most forth
right yet made by any fighting
French spokesman about Darlan,
former commander of Vichy's
armed forces who assumed Dow
ers of Chief of State In the north
African colonics after the AEF
landings.
Saying ne sough', complete
fusion of all French forces :'n
the allied cause, General Catroux
said "for Ihe good name of ihe
United Slates. I hope this obsta
cle will quickly disappear."
Scolding Leads Boy
To Apparent Suicide
NORTH HOLLYWOOD. Calif.,
Dec. a (API Barry Gilbert, 13-
year-old adopted son of film
Comedian Billy Gilbert, was
found shot to death Monday night
in tne lamily home. Police ex
pressed the belief today that
adolescent sorrow at a scolding
over a pet parrot's escape led to
the tragedy. Two notes left by Ihe
boy Indicated suicide.
The detectives said the parrot
escaped yesterday and that Ihe
boy was reprimanded during a
telephone conversation Willi his
grandmother. His grandfather,
coming to the Gilbert home to
help capture the pet, found
Barry's body. He had been shot
through the heart with a light
caliber rifle, apparently tripping
the trigger with his toe.

DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHARLES A, EWARDS
There never has been a
greater menace to civilization
and the cause of righteousness
than the slavery and wretch
edness imposed upon human
ity by the- liquor traffic.
There never has been a land
nor an age in which people
have not felt the merciless
grip of its fetters. It has
broken homes, saddened
more hearts, Impoverished
more families, provided more
quarrels, fostered more fights,
wrecked more lives, blasted
more hopes and reputations,
committed more crimes, lost
more wars and ruined more
nations than any evil agency
in this world. It is the sum
of all villanles, the father of
all crime, the mother of all
abominations, the curse of all
curses, the devil's best friend
and God's worst enemy. Baby

of revelry and debauchery.
The dawn found the victorious
Persian in complete possession
of the city. Alexander the
Great and his armies were at
first invincible. But after he
had conquered the world, he
was himself conquered by the
wine cup. While he was mas
ter of the world he became a

bauch. The Romans made
themselves masters of the
world through abstemious
habits, but later became ef
