riwnuu uLiiiLo SPANISH A1DT0 YAWS COITUS npcaia rui ran Play In Spain's Relations With Rest Of World. . f , By A. L. Bradford Madrid, Nov. 3 U.PJ Gen. Francisco Franco said In an ex clusive interview today that Spain had never been Fascist or Nazi and never had been allied secretly or otherwise with the Axis powers. Asserting that he understood the American public was com ptced of "honorable men" he appealed for what he called "fair play" and understanding In Spain's relations with the rest of the world. In a lengthy statement of Spain's domestic and interna tional position Franco said Spain could not ally itself with Germany or any' other country which was not guided by the principles of Catholicism, s He said there was no obstacle ( to far as Spain's Internal affairs go, to collaboration with the principal Allied powers, Includ ing Russia, but that there must be no interference in Spain's in ternal affairs. Regarding the presence of the Spanish Blue division on the Russian front. Franco Mid: "This involved no idea of eon quest nor passion against , any country but rather a definite anti-communistic purpose in ac cord with the tradition of for-, elgn legions. When the Spanish presence of these volunteers might affect our relations with the Allied countries with which we maintained friendly rela tions it took the necessary steps to order those volunteers to re turn to Spain." Franco received this, corre spondent and Ralph Forte, Unit ed Press staff correspondent in Madrid, in hostorio Pardo Pal ace. He was wearing his full military uniform, end sat be hind desk in quarters former ly occupied by Alfonso XII, father of the last king of Spain, Spain, he said, has now en tered a period of paeificatlqn and hundreds of thousands of Spanish exiles already have re turned home. Civil War Difficult ' "A Civil war," he said "is difficult to settle. It inevitably leaves injts wake, among other evils, the existence of emigre groups In other countries. The tmhsppy lot of ' those wtiO are I forced to abandon their homes always moves the sympathies of those who harbor them. "On the other hand it Is Im possible in a majority of, cases to take these exiles at their word. The distances Involved, the lack of accurate information from home, the natural bitter ness of those who have lost the fight, and their passion all these things usually prevent them from being fair in their judgments. "It is dangerous, therefore, to believe what such exiles say when they speak of those who govern in the country wherein the fortunes of politics have prevented them from living. But hundreds of thousands of Spain's sons who left their coun try after the Civil War have now returned home. Disting uished personalities who were exiled from Spain during the Civil War" already occupy im portant posts here in various fields and especially in intel lectual activities. 'Forgetting the bitterness of the struggle we often have ex tended an Invitation to return home to those desiring to live her and I repeat that those, who have accepted our Invitation are innumerable. It is to be hoped that others will return to con tinue among us useful and pro- aucuve work. "Naturally professional and permanent agitators who defy the authority of the state and seek by violence to undermine that authority these so long as they do not mend their ways will not be allowed to return. Not Afraid of Truth "No country In the world faced with such activities would follow any other course. Spain lives and works in peace and does not fear but welcomes that the world will confirm this fact. We are not afraid of the truth but we fear 'malicious minds' of which Saint Paul spoke." In evidence of his statement that Spain was not allied with Axis powers, Franco said: "When in July, 1940, the German armies, occupier, France and reached the Spanls i border and France was totally dis armed, instead of seizing upon these circumstances to attack France from behind, which our traditional chivalry would nev er have permitted, Spain, on the contrary, adopted a friendly attitude toward that neighbor.

Riverside Dial 4980 European power remained at warwith the Axis nation and the United States had not en tered the conflict. If the accu sations concerning our alleged obligations with the Axis had been true this was the incom parable moment to have taken up arms against the Allied coal ition wherein France had ceased to fight leaving her territory easy prey to occupation by a foreign army. Americans Invited Speaking of Spain's Internal situation, Franco said: "I invite all Americans to come and see for themselves with their own eyes and contem plate what goes on in our coun try. They will appreciate espe cially our insistence on main taining order without which progress is impossible. "Due to certain pecularities of the Spanish temperment po litical . institutions which pro duce excellent resuts in other countries lead here to the exact contrary. Forms of government which appear moderate even when directed by men of mod eration here In Spain only serve to unleash acts of - violence which immediately destroy these very same men and insti tutions. Hence the necessity for reinforcing the authority of the government." FOREMAN CONVICTED ' JMarysvllle, CaL, Nov. 3.

A "qrois Income tax" Is a tax on total receipts, from all sources, ot an indi vidual, partnership or corporation, without any deduction for cost of do lng business, such as rent, wages, cost ot merchandise, or deduction of losses, and without personal or corporate ex emptions except as Inconsequential ' exemptions of $100 month may later be granted. ' "Would you, as business man, property owner, or individual, pay a "gross In come tax" even though your expenses exceeded your gross receipts? Yet, you would. If you sold property for $9000 that cost you $10,000, you must pay a 3 or 6 tax on the $9000. part of your gross Income. Every 'wage earner, salaried person.' business man, farmer, owner ot se curities, owner of rented property, would have to make a monthly return of tax on gross Income In addition to present Federal and State income tax returns. Oregon would have three . Income taxes; personal net Income tax, corpo rate excise tax, and this Townsend tax on gross income. Tha Towntand 3 or 8 tax may be withheld from pay checks by employ ers, in addition to the present Federal tax withholding, or wage earners and salaried people will have to make their own monthly tax return along with all business men, farmers, etc. i 100.000 Oregon men and women in armed forces are deprived of oppor tunity to learn all facts about eileet of this measure on Jobs and business opportunities available on their return from war. i 3 or $ tax would be levied on rent, alimony, sale of all farm pro ducts, all foods, Interest and divi dends sale of personal property, se curities, on all wages and salaries, on wholesale or retail sales, commis sions, insurance and transportation costs, ALL payments received by farmers, amusements, doctor and law-' yer fees, damages awarded by Courts, sales of articles manufactured and sold in Oregon. i $184,100,000 (State tax commission estimate) would have been collected on 1943 gross income in Oregon, for benefit of about 10 ot state's popu lation, which would be forced into Idleness to receive this pension, l Tf a 3 or 8 tax on gross Income to retire everyone over 60 (whether they need the money or not) Is sound pol icy and good for Oregon, then why not a 100 tax and everybody stop working? I Many Oregon manufacturers can not ad 3 or 8 to their prices and com-, pete with manufacturers in other states. Jobs will disappear! prices will in crease many times the 3 or 8 added cost; Inflation will result wages, rents, salaries, fixed interest, returns,-will bo reduced. Property values win decline due to higher interest loan rates, frozen market demand for property duo to , . ' added tax on each turnover or sale. , Hawaii gross Income tax Is utterly different; to compare the Townsend Plan tax with Hawaiian tax is grossly ' Inaccurate) on producers in Hawaii tho tax is Vi no tax on wages, salaries; on manufactured articles 1V4. a Savings account depositors In banks can be hit two ways; 3 tax on in- , terest received; banks may be forced to cut interest rate because Town send tax will apply to certain bank Income. . , , m There Is no element of Insurance in this scheme; no reserves; it is simply a monthly gamble as to pension to bo , received. Production is the only basis of wealth; possession -of dollars does not mean an Increase in wealth. Large sums in eaiy circulation depreciate value ot money. Old folks could and would bs hurt more than helped, through In creased living coats. The Oregon State Tax Commission ii , not equipped to handle possible 100 000 monthlrtax returns and pension payments. Perhaps not even suffic lent paper is available to service such an undertaking. s This scheme is a constitutional amend ment.. It is dangerous to write a man datory tax scheme into the state's or ganic law. How much will the tax raise? . Based upon Oregon's estimated gross transactions of $3,603,- - 000,000 a 3 tax would raise a minimum of over $168,090,000. This it over three timet tha total taxes of $54,516,000 collected by Oregon from all tourcat for tha fiscal year 1942-43. Does, the proposed Act eliminate any taxes? No. All existing taxes continue in affect. VOTE 317 X JO! DsJil Arlif Cltliens Committee of Jackson County, ram HH"i b. E. Harder, Chairman. ,
