Tryouts For
Final Debate
Team Tonight
The final opportunity for stu
dents interested in speech to try
out for the men’s symposium de
bate team will come tonight in
107 Friendly hall at 7:30 p.m.
Those trying out will be asked
to deliver a three-minute talk on
any subject of their choice. The
main purpose of the tryouts is to
see and hear the student and get
some idea of his ability as a
public speaker.
Those who are selected will
work together upon some vital,
current topic and with adequate
preparation will tour the state.
Last year the debate group made
10 appearances before granges,
schools, service clubs, and
churches. The varied experience
of these apeparances proved in
valuable to the students.
If there are questions as to
procedure and eligibility Profes
sor W. A. Dahlberg will be glad
to see anyone interested before
th^ tryouts Tuesday night.
Business With Hitler
(Continued from paqe one)
the first place. Because the
charge proved true he was not
defended by the American charge
d’affairs in Paris.
This action raised considerable
comment and protest on the part
of many newspaper men and sev
eral government officials. Gover
nor Charles Sprague immediately
sent a telegram to Secretary of
State Cordell Hull pleading for
“strong representations” to be
made to Germany in the cause of
Allen. In the message he men
tioned that Mr. Allen was an Ore
gon graduate and further said
that, “. . . Allen would be in real
danger if turned over to some of
the fascist powers because or his
fearless reporting.” An Oregon
ian editorial suggested that the
German action might be a re
prisal for the newly-passed lend
lease bill and reminded the pub
lic that there were hundreds of
Germans that the U S. could hold
if the need arose.
This string-pulling was appar
ently in vain, however, as Mr.
Allen was sentenced to three
months in the German concentra
tion camp at Chalons, where he
war kept until the news he had
gathered was no longer of any
value to American newspapers.
His subsequent weeks in Europe
ano his recent return to Ameiica
form the basis for his coming
lecture.
Music Positions Open
There are still vacancies in the
band and the orchestra. Anyone

'Hidden' Taxes Should Show "
Themselves in Defense
By DON TREADGOLD
If any of you have bought a bottle of hair tonic, a radio, or an auto
mobile tire in the last week, you can testify to increased taxes. If you
receive a sufficient income, you were no doubt disturbed by fearsome
tables in the newspapers stating that persons with an income of
$2500 will pay $90 of it for income taxes this year. You also may have
heaved a sigh for the man who has a million-dollar income, who will
turn back to the treasury $732,
554 of it, still leaving him a little
cigarette money at that. Then
after you ponder over this tax
ridden situation, you may con
clude that it hurts, all right, but
that you are willing to let it hurt
for the sake of good old national
defense. Someone will probably
then take the joy out of life by
asserting that you aren’t paying
through the nose at all; look at
the poor British taxpayers, etc.
Even so, with U. S. coffers due to
receive thirteen billions in tax
money in fiscal 1942, I call that
a sizeable intake.
My objection is simply this: I
am willing to shell out an extra
penny for a tube of toothpaste,
and I am willing to pay every tax
a tax-conscious congressman can
think up, providing it goes for a
national defense which is planned
for carefully, is a real defense,
and is not just pork-barrel by an
other name. I am not sure any
one of those conditions is being
met. I know that only days ago
the president admitted the de
fense effort was pretty sick when
he juggled the whole tortured
mess to give overall control to a
new agency, the SPA. I know
that the embattled democracies
have gotten only about 3 per cent
of the materials for which con
gress appropriated seven billions.
I know that this government has
dallied so long with the inflation
problem that Donald Nelson, the
head of priorities, now says it is
too late for a ceiling over all
prices; that we can only hope to
set one for a few. Meanwhile the
tense of inflation has changed
from future to present. Let taxes
go up still more, as they are sure'
to do next year, but let them be
well spent and let them be spent
with foresight, a quality our
statesmen presumably possess.
