the United States. A feint was intended for

its error. Our answer is that if any error was
' made it was not the fault of The Statesman's
staff; so there will be no retractions or admis
einn a far s this Daner is concerned. -
Mr. Shanks protests two statements in a
( news article on July 7th: "There is ho author
ity in the internal revenue laws for collecting
the $5;" and "No fine can be 'demanded" be-?
fvsA ifr i nn w ' -
As to the first statement it was made after
through Mexico, and German panzers were to
spearhead the attack. . ' .
We cannot be surprised if Hitler had such
a plan. He was dreaming j of world I conquest ;
he remembered what the USA had done to
Germany in 1918; and he knew where we were L
giving our sympathy and aid In 1940. Mexico!
does offer a continental jbase for operations ;
against the United States, "with little prospect!
of local resistance. f 1 , ,
If Hitler had made the "attempt in 1940 he
would have been stopped by the US fleet, un-
less he had previously! gotten hold of the'.
British fleet which was quite improbable. If -
effort' had been made to discover the authority he hand landed- though we were ill equipped in;
for the $5 surcharge. The local office of the
internal revenue service said its authority was
in a "confidential memorandum.' The States
man was told, in a telephone conversation with
the Portland office, that the $5 was collected
"on instructions from the conimissioner Of in
ternal revenue . in Washington.' That state
ment was published. Now Mr. Shanks cites the
section of the code authorizing the commissioner
of internal revenue to compromise civil " or '
criminal cases, and says that he assumed we
would credit the commissioner with enough
Intelligence to act within his authority. The
Statesman was assuming nothing. Why did not
Mr. Shanks state plainly that he was acting
under statutory authority, and not merely say
he was acting "under instructions from Wash
ington?" The people have grown suspicious
of this latter phrase. 1 i '- i
r- However the section quoted gives merely
general authority to compromise. It says noth
ing about a $5 penalty. Who fixed on that
amount? Why would not $1 or at the most
$2.50 do? Isn't the fixing of the amount an
arbitrary action by the internal revenue service?
As far as the statement that "no fine can be
'demanded' before conviction," surely Mr.
Shanks is not going1 to protest this very ele
mental rule of law. He may say that the $5
assessment is not a fine but a "compromise,"
'but in the popular mind the idea is that of a
fine for failing to have the sticker on the
due date. -. H, ' 1
The. Statesman insists' that the summary
- action of the internal revenue officials, with
out warning when previous practice had been
exceedingly tolerant, and the arbitrary action
j of assessing a $5 J10ft) penalty on delin
f quents was bad public policy. We - trust that
' our publicity was detrimental to the efforts
of the service to1 catch delinquents and skin
them. If the service had asked for cooperation
of the law it would have received full and
supporting publicity; from this paper. We are
ready to cooperate in law 'enforcement, but not
on official shakedowns even under color of law.

Misbehavior in Italy. 1 i ' . j ' ' ;
Over in Italy the Catholic Action group has
-scolded Italian "women over their recent con
duct, saying it. was mbecoming . to Christian
dignity." The reference. was to familiarity be-'
tween the women and the, allied soldiers Who
now occupy most of the peninsula. The Action5
group protested "such Jorms of misbehavior
which affect the moral and physical fibre of
our people, and declared that "the young peo-f
pie who are the hope of Italy of tomorrow must '
be preserved from such corruption.''
The admonition is probably Ttimely, but we ;
don't like to think of American soldiers as ai
source for the .corruption of the Italian young i
women. As a general rule the blame for such '
'misbehavior as worries the church group is by i
no means one-sided. We Would venture the'
opinion that there is quite ariittlt of the ro- i
mantic come-hither in the dark eyes of the i
Italian girls who set their lures for the British ;
and American soldiers. 1 ! ;
