. America,: they tell us. is the biggest debating
society in the world. ' They tell us, too, that in
: wartime ; this is a disadvantage The recent
- "wait until after election" stalling in congress m
and to some degree in :the executive branch
; lends, weight to this view. But 'the alternative t
; British system whereby elections are avoided in
wartime also has its disadvantages. When pub-
lie opinion changes Vjiereas parliament doesn't,
. sores develop and begin: to fester.
Be that as it may,, debate has its values.
: There'awnothing like algood argument to bring
issues into focus, even, though some of the argu
ments advanced may be unsound. That really
is. the answer ta the question we propounded
the other day, -as to why a newspaper is ex
pected to Hake a stand. Even if it doesn't con
vince anyone, it doe help its readers to reach,

By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, Oct SI The administration has
hastened to put a legal damper on any suits arising
out of the $25,00(1 salary ceiling limitation but the
damper itself seems to have "flaws.
In the Byrnes order authoriz
ing the war labor board to put
a limitation on all salaries, and
a lid on those above( $25,000 -net
the administration 'lawyers i
took the apparently unprec- ;
edented step of barring their
regulation from review in the
courts. The regulation' says:
"Any determination of i the
board, made pursuant to the
authority conferred. on it, shall
be final, and shall not be sub
ject to review by the tax court
of the United States,. or. by an :
court in any civil proceedings." -
That damper in itself is enough to put the matter -into
the courts. There appears to be no precedent
for it . . -; i
One senator, in a position to be the best con
gressional authority, says, off the record, he knows
of none. . : : -
Obviously; the treasury dropped that unique
. provision into the regulation to cover' its' own ;
doubts as to the validity. of the act ! f: V "
The only legal basis for the $25,000 limitation
which his been furnished by congress, is in the
anti-inflation .law which authorizes the govern
ment to :, clamp down on "gross inequities'; fin
"salaries. " -
Obviously, some lawyers are going to make' the "
government prove that a salary above $25,000 Is a
gross inequity. '
The regulation barring them from getting 'Into
the courts will no doubt provide them the basis
upon which to sue.

book at $1 a copy is beginning to

as it advertises itself, by previa 1

. Of course, tixe little book can
not be used anywhere else, being
protected by its copyright It is
rather strange that no one, in
all the past 300 years no ' one
else has ever had the namej
copyrighted. It is exclusive, of
course protected by its copy
right which entailed a lot of la
bor and research. The little book
has another name, "A, .Trilogy
in the Anabasis of the West,"
the third part of the trilogy be-
ing devoted : to the careers to
gether of 'Sheridan and. RusselL j
The title of the third part of the
"Trilogy" reads "Soul of Philip
Knit With Soul of David," and
some of ; the first paragraphs
read: -
"Strange are the ways of des- !
tiny, the decrees of fate. This is
a Damon-Pythias story that tells

rected a salute of one hundred

Petersburg, and the President at
once thanked the army in, an
autographed letter. A few weeks
- after, he promoted me; and I
"received notice of this in a spe-
cial letter : from the Secretary
. of War, saying, Hhat for the per- ,

Not 'Another Bataan '
'"Perhaps,' it is early to comment even upon
the "second round, in the Solomons battle. But
in all history, we do not recall that a victorious
force ever retired, from the scene. It seems a
fair assumption that the enemy has been beaten
off; it is a fact that our forces still hold""iirm!
oh Guadalcanal. r-"
,: As fox the cost, even though we may. lack the
full statistics, it should be kept in mind that In
. the Solomons we are on the offensive,; and that
Is always costly. But it is a fairly safe assump
tion that when the enemy was beaten off, it was
done by administering punishment greater than ;
he could afford further to; abaorb'w";. ;
Fear tha Guadalcanal -might be - "another
BataanM has recently beeii"expressed. ?Well, not
up to now. And it isn't likely. Guadalcanal can
hardly be "another Bataan because, firsts our'
forces there, can be 'ireinrcedan4 c supplied; ;
second and more important, they have received
and will continue, to receive adequate air sup
port. To dateand without 'discounting the
feats of ground and s&a arms air power largely
accounts for what success we have had in the
Solomons .1 ? . . . " - - '

therefore in pros
pect,, but meantime anyone who wants to sua will
have to pay larger income taes for the .privilege.
The bureau of internal revenue,: which ia some
thing of a court unto itself, which taken away first
and then allows' you to try Jto get it back," will
not allow tax deductions for violations. H M
Anyone who wants to pay ja salary above $2S,- -
000 can pay the taxes on the excess, and risk fines
imposed in the doubtful regulations, thereby back
ing the matter of the validity of the regulations ;
. into the court that way. ' ; rj i
The prof essedly true liberals and the administra
tion have always, eagerly purified higtt salaries, mm
if they were a social menace, but I have always
thought their drives in that direction carried more
; political weight than dollars or sense. ; ; j
Everyone who makes $15 a week looks enviously
' at the man who makes $20, and no doubt the one
who makes $100,000 is open to argument on 'the
injustice of anyone making $200,000. It is good '
politics, therefore, to keep pushing this matter of
..salaries up front. ' ,- i,"
First, the administration did it by making public i
the lists of high salaries, and now by actual regu
lations proposes to; cut them, ostensibly for anti-'
-lrflationary purposes, although only $180,000,000 -"
of tax revenue is supposed to be Involved, ? !
For this amount or revenue and the inspiring of '
a lot of envy and tome efficient politics, the teu i
liberals, it seems to me, are playing with the pri
.mary American ideal" - r , v.
The guiding star of this nation, taught us first '
"Jn," all the schools,. is that any man can , become -
president. : The accompanying and most important j
doctrine which affects all of us who do not ex-
pect to be president is that we may become rich. :
It is the lure of that pot of gold which has gen-
erated energy among our people, superior itq' the
energy of other people in. Britain, Frances, jny- ;j
where In the world. Their old world IdeaTof
America is that of the land where a man can ikiake
a .'fortune. - J "';.."" i
1 If this ideal is destroyed by doubtful regulai 4
or ouerwise, we may become a listless' nation

i If the government can regulate salaries at $25,

Personally, have never been: envious of a rich

of them carry their riches as a burden. (
- The movie stars, who make those fabulous sal

pay their agent, how much comes out for taxes.
The tax on $100,000 this year will be $53,803,
which seems to limit that salary very effectively to
$31,197, or less than a third of what the man
earned (and others correspondingly.). I
It is popular now to say, especially of the movie
stars, that whatever is left is too much. Tht Is

better off and democracy will be fostered longer, if
we followed the principle that a man has a right
to his earnings (after taxes) If he lives by the
laws of .the . country and earns his money ia an
honest way.

been confiscated by the port au
thorities at Balos Blanca, and
whether mis Wasnot contrary to
aection 19 of the recent trade
; . , convention signed at ; Amazfllo.
The Right Honorable Sir
George Smith-Jordan (Censerv
ative: Houghley), replying-' for
the government, 'said he had
been informed by . his majesty's
consul at. Baloa Blanca that the
reported confiscation had been
only partial and temporary, af
fecting a certain - section of the
catalogues' about . which ' there
appeared to have been some lin
guistic ; :.; misunderstanding; and ;
' ' that the greater part of the con-
signment had since been deliv-
: erea to the I addresses. 'As to
whether the i action of the port
auuioxiues naa or nad not been
an 'mfringement of any clause of
the Amazfflo trade convention.
ne was not in n position to say
untu rurther information bad

zactormess of the Incident, his
