WHAT A GOOD WAR WOULD DO
As European powers jockey for position in opposing "en
circlements," we hear now and then on this side of the Atlan
tic the comment that "a good war over there would certainly
help business here." There is a tinge of hopefulness in the
way they say it.
The remark is made by individuals who should know bet
ter, who passed through the economic phenomena of too great
prosperity and ensuing panic which were the results of the
last European war. It is made by persons who have been pay
ing the bill for the loans which made possible the heavy buying
by European nations in the previous decade, who have seen
the payment of billions for the care of war victims and their
survivors and as a political appeasement (the bonus) to those
whose only claim was that they had served while others had
not.
: The hope for a "good war" is ridiculous from an economic
standpoint; it is wickedly selfish in its regard for the suffer
ings of the many on which would be based a false prosperity.
And it overlooks completely the possibility that this "good
war" might involve, as it did once before, the American nation
over here.
If that should happen, there is a new factor which did not
enter into the last war. It would eliminate war profits and the
false .war prosperity, and do it rather suddenly. The new
factor is a measure now in congress which is scheduled for
passage if war comes. -
It would operate- through income taxation, raising the
normal tax rate from four per cent to six per cent and starting
surtax rates on incomes of more than $3,000 at 10 per cent.
Incomes of more than $20,000 would be taxed at 93 per cent.
Just in case that might not be stringent enough, exemptions
for single persons would be reduced to S500, for married per
sons to $1,000. Credit for dependents would be cut to $100.
Corporations would be in no better situation than indi
viduals. They would be limited to realization of six per cent
on declared stock valuation as of 1934 (when such values were
not far from an all-time low). Anything in excess of the six
per cent computed on this base would be taxed at a flat 100
per cent. Up to a two per cent realization the tax would be 15
per cent ; any yield from two to six per cent on declared stock
valuation of 1934 would be taxed at 25 per cent,
i The measure would literally take all the joy out of war for
those who measure war in its immediate dollars and cents re
turns. The returns just wouldn't be. And .that is probably
the chief reason for the measure: It would promote peace by
discouraging entry into war. A secondary purpose is to turn
the nation's resources into the war time treasury.
Under such law business could be sure of a much less re
lurn in war than in peace. So could individuals, even those in
Ihe lower earning range. The loss that war must entail would
be made apparent while the war is on instead of some few
years later.
- Knowledge of the measure (H. R. 5290), should dampen
the mild enthusiasm of those who now and again refer to the
business benefits which would accrue from "a good war" in
" Europe.

CAST OF CHARACTERS
Betty Mary Jordan Pretty young
border patrol service secretary.
Sheridan Starr Handsome border
patrol officer.
Hope Kildare Starr's fellow of
ficer, also a bachelor.
Luis Barro Mexican smugjjlcr.
a e
Yesterday: Betty studs a letter to
the officers, telling them of her dis
coveries, that a woman and child
are involved in smuggling. Then she
signals that she is safe.
CHAPTER XIV
Betty Mary deduced accurately
that El Casino Tecolote and The
Place of the Sleeping Monk, two
establishments with excellent music
and excellent cuisine, really were
Louis Barro s favorite hangouts
when he was in Juarez. But. he ap
peared to have business out of town
a great deal of the time.
Betty liked The Place of the
Sleeping Monk better. It was quieter
than the first spot. It did not have
big gambling room adioimng. It
seemed to enjoy a better class of cus
tomers from among the many tour
ists who came across from 1 Paso.
A detail too was the fact that Luis
Barro had ordered the proprietor
and employes there to "show Sen
orita Jordan every passible courtesy
whenever she comes in. one discov
ered that his order meant she could
never pay her check, nor indeed pay
for anything, despite the meticulous
service they gave her. In a way she
didn't like this, but in her capacity of
detective she knew it was a valuable
lead.
and departed.

She wished she had learned morel
She couldn't quite put two and two
together here, but sho had enough
to know that Luis Barro had several
avenues fur smuggling dope, and
that his "submarine" was con.iidt.ed
best. Would it mean employment of
an actual submarine off the Pacific
Coast, up to California? Hardly that,
she knew; it would be far too ex
pensive as well as impractical.
Well, it was not yet noon. She
could cross to El Paso and contact
Sheridan and Hope about it. She
hadn't been there in three days, she
could legitimately go and call at an
art store, a restaurant, then a pic
ture show, without losing her front
of being a tourist on leasurvly vaca
tion. Tourists did cross back and
forth every day.

During these last few days, Sher

asked for duty at the international
bridge where they could be near if
Betty Mary needed them, and also

ing there at least once a day, she
struck up a nominal friendship with
the manager who sat in the cashier s
booth. The fifth day of her stay in
Mexico, she picked a moment in
mid-morning when the place was al
most empty and when Luis Barro
had not been around for more than
a day, then opened her purse in the
cashier-manager's presence.
Oh. dear. I must have left my
compact in the hotel," she lamented.
As a woman would, she dished out
all manner of purse trinkets. Lip
stick. Handkerchief. Pencils. Coin
purse. Note pad. Tiny scissors. Nail
file. A snapshot of her father. Mirror.
And a .22 caliber rifle cartridge.
She called his attention to the cart
ridge silently with her eyes. I
Instantly the man turned to his
cash register and pressed a button.
"Cling-clang the machine sound
ed, an a "No Sale" sign popped up.
From a drawer he calmly took a 22
cartridge of his own, fingered it a
moment for her to see, dropped it
back and closed the drawer. Betty
Mary felt her pulse quicken. This
was the third person today to whom
she had exhibited her cartridge, and
this time it had worked. The other
two, a waiter and the traffic police
man outside El Casino, had shown no
response.
"You you are one of us," she
murmured, tentatively.
"No one is near, but is best not to
talk too much in a public place." he
suggested. "Luis gets careless, I think.
He is too sure of himself.
"He is Quite capable." Betlv Marv
said.
"Oh of a certain, senorita! But cau
tion is always good."
"Surely, senor. I am, uh, new, in
his his organization, as you doubt
less know?"
"Don Luis never speaks to me of
his helpers," the cashier said.
"I am interested in narcotics," she
said quite frankly. T know where
perhaps a cargo worth a hundred
thousand can be had. Cheap."
"A hundred thousand pesos? For
how much?"
"No, dollars. American dollars. For
a tenth of that. Can can Don Luis
send it safclv across? Do vnn ih nV
I should tell him where he might
contact this cargo? I do not wish to
uh, interfere too much in his plans
and affairs. He might not even be
interested in narcotics now. Hereto
fore I have helped only with aliens.
"Ha! Senorita is indeed new wilh

Don Luis!"
"Then when I am sure I can gel Ihe
new cargo for him, I will tell him."
Betty Mary was not looking at the
man, lest her eyes reveal something
of the excitement she felt. "A deal
of this size should be profitable to us
all."
"He would send it by submarine,
no doubt. It is the safest way."
"Oh. You mean ?"
"Si senorita. To the Pcraltas. They
