T TAX UPON
JAP PROFITEERS
Program Ordered To Show
Nation "War Does Not
Pay" Aids Little People
Tokyo, Sunday, Nov. 25 (U.R)
General Douglas MacArthur to
day demonstrated visibly to Ja
pan that "war does not pay" by
ordering the government to en
act a 100,000,000 yen ($6,666,
000,000) tax program affecting
every corporation and individual
in Japan who profited from the
war.
MacArthur ordered the gov
ernment to submit to the first
session of the diet in 1946 a pro
gram laying a 100 per cent war
profits tax against all war in
dustries.
Additionally, Japanese leaders
were told to prepare a similar
tax steeply graduated to 100 per
cent against all other corpora
tions and individuals in Japan
and a capital levy with graduat
ed raies as nign as iu per ceru.
The program is to be design
ed, the directive stated, to prove
to the Japanese that "war does
not pay."
Not only the period following
Pearl Harbor is to be included
in the drastic tax plan, accord
ing to the directive, but also
"the preceeding period of Jap
anese aggression."
Aside from forbidding the gov
ernment from issuing bonds, ex
tending credit, granting sub
sidies, tax exemptions or "any
similar financial benefits," the
directive blocked Japanese funds
totaling 50,500,000,000 yen in
tended for payment of1, war in
demnities to corporations.
The government was given 30
days in which to recover all war
indemnity payments exceeding
5,000 yen made since Aug. 15.
MacArthur's directive explain
ed the purpose of blocking the
war indemnity funds was to as
sure availability of funds for tax
ing under the newly-ordered pro
gram. Japanese war industries' had
multiplied assets from ten to 100
times their original value, the
directive pointed out.
Five major companies alone
showed a growth of assets from
one billion yen to 11V4 billion
yen between 1937 and 1945.
Expansion funds were obtain
ed largely from bank borrow
ings, with one firm listing total
assets of 150,000,000 yen and
liabilities that included 125.000,
000 yen in short term notes
alone.
The imperial household was
not granted tax exemptions, un
der the new directive.
Previously tax-exempt, its as
sets aggregating over 1,500,000,
000 yen will be subject to both
"the war profits and capital levy
Recapturing of war profits
added to the capital levy tax is
expected to yield more than 100,
000,000,000 yen to provide the
basis for reorganization of Jap
anese government finances.
Greatest single item 'till un
paid by the government is 32,
000,000,000 yen in war risk in
surance claims.
It was estimated that aboli
tion of the notorious pension sys
tem under which ex-soldiers of
25 years of age or less were
drawing life-time benefits along
with members of the notorious
Black Dragon society, political
leaders and top generals and ad
mirals, would save the Japanese
treasury 1,500,000.000 yearly.
"The Japanese farmer, labor
er small business and profes
sional man has been exploited
by a very few people who con
trolled practically all means of
production," MacArthur observ
ed. The power and wealth of
these few big people is being
taxed away so the great num
ber of little people can have a
chance to get decent prices for
the goods, work for a fair wage
and enter business without fear
of monopoly controls."

CAMP WHITE TO
GET 2,000 IN,
Indication that Camp White
will not be completely closed
down by the army was seen in a
report circulating at the military
post Saturday that some 2,000
officers and enlisted men are
scheduled tp arrive there in the
near future.
. According to the report, the
incoming force is made up of en
gineers and is a part of the 7th
corps whose headquarters are at
Ford Ord, Calif. Camp White
has been selected as a base for
the unit because of the proxi
mity of Rogue river which will
permit specialized training, the
report revealed.
Officials, at the camp stated
they had no knowledge that
troops were scheduled for their
installation, and said they could
make no official announcement
at this time.
Only a small force has been
maintained at Camp White by
the army since last March when
the prisoner of war guard train
ing unit departed. Since that
time only a comparatively few
officers and men have carried on
the camp activities including
service and salvage.
TO ELLIOTT AS
Hyde Park, N. Y., Nov. 24
(U.R) Brig. Gen. Elliott Roose
velt may refuse his appointment
as a vestryman of the church
where his father worshipped, it
was reported today, because of
Bishop William T. Manning's ob
jections to his election.
Other vestrymen appeared an
noyed by the action of Bishop
Manning, who, they said, i.ad
chosen to take up the matter
through the press.
The Rev. W. George W. An
thony, aged acting rector of St.
James church, said he doubted
the twice-divorced and thrice
wed Roosevelt would accept in
view of the bishop's statement
that the president's son was ' not
in good standing in the Episcopal
church."
Although Manning did not
elaborate his objections, it was
believed he referred to Roose
velt's last two marriages, con
tracted after divorces, which vio
lated canons of the Episcapo!
church.
Roosevelt divorced his first
wife, Elizabeth Donncr, by
whom he had one child, and his
second, Ruth Goggins, mother of
three of his children. On Dec. 3,
1944, he married his present
wife. Actress Faye Emerson.
Arthur Hatpin, a member of
the board of vestrymen of St.
James, said Manning had not
officially notified the board of
his action in banning Roosevelt
as a member.

SHIP FOR RETURN
TO NATIVE LANO
Seattle, Nov. 24 (U.R) Led
by the Japanese European diplo

jubilant Japanese who renounc
ed American citizenship boarded
the U.S.S. Gen. G. M. Randall
today, en route to their shatter
ed homeland.
Cleanly dressed and obviously
glad to be leaving, the Japanese
filed up the gangplanks under
guard, carrying their worldly
possessions in suitcases, bags,
and bundles. The group arrived
today by train from internment
centers at Tule Lake Calif.; Bis

Mex.
The diplomatic corps, headed
by Lt. Gen. Horoshi Oshima,
graying, smartly-dressed Jap

Germany, romped with the
youngsters in the main salon on
the ship but declined comment
of the "future of Japan or any
thing else concerned with world
affairs." Oshima and the rest of
his party arrived last night and
were immediately taken aboard
the ship.
The majority of the Japanese
were agriculturalists who had
been working as farmers in var
ious sections of the United States
for many years, some for as far
back as 1900.

PIN ALIBI UPON
LADY ASTOR'S SET
Secret Deal With British
Leaders Hinted By De
fense At Neurnberg Trial
Nuernberg, Nov. 24 (U.R)
Nazi Germany's indicted war
leaders may stake their lives on
a sensational claim that they
had secret dealings with Lady
Nancy Astor's British Cliveden
set in the Munich appeasement
era, counsel for the accused men
indicated today.
The Virginia-born Lady Astor
was named as one of scores of
prominent British political fig
ures who "probably" will be
summoned here by the defense
to testify for Hermann Goering
and his 19 fellow prisoners.
From their testimony, the
defendants obviously hoped to
extract a story of Anglo-German
intrigue and whitewash their
own actions in the final tense
months before World War II.
Lady Astor, who retired from
commons last summer after 25
years in British politics, repeat
edly has denied that sho and the
small group of conservatives
who met at her Cliveden coun
try home before the war were
working for appeasement of
nazi Germany.
Mentioned with her as a pos
sible involuntary defense wit
ness was Lord Beaverbrook, one
of ex-Prime Minister Winston
Churchill's closest political ad
visers. Spokesmen for the American
prosecution staff said when they
learned of the defense plans,
that the four-power- court at
Nuernberg is empowered to
subpoena witnesses from any of
the 20 nations that signed the
United Nations charter estab
lishing this tribunal.
Authorized spokesmen for the
British and French prosecutors,
however, flatly challenged the
American position. They con
tended that the court has no
authority to summon witnesses
from outside the borders of oc
cupied Germany.
The British insisted that wit
nesses living in the United
Kingdom could testify by affi
davit instead of making a per
sonal Bppearance in court.
The defense lawyers took ad
vantage of the weekend trial
recess to call a press conference
at which they outlined their
tentative plans for defending
the accused nazi war criminals.
They revealed that most, if
not all, of the defendants would
testify in their own behalf.
In addition to Lord Beaver
brook and the Cliveden set, they
said they were trying to sum
mon the Duke of Hamilton and
the British physician who exam
ined Rudolf Hess after he para
chuted down into a Scottish
moor in 1940.

"We would like the strike to
end today as we know that it is
not only tying up the lumber in
dustry, but threatening the en
tire reconversion program of the
country," Hutcheson said.
He called the operators 12VS
cent compromise offer "fur out
of line compared to the soiling
price of lumber," and pointed
out that the work week has been
cut while there has been no re
duction in the cost of living.
"The Brotherhood of Carpent
ers and Joiners, AFL, is prepared
to go all the way so that the
lumber workers, chartered under
the brotherhood, may win their
demands and a wage increase
somewhat comparable to the
price of lumber," he declared.
The brotherhood has pledged
financial help to the strikers.
Meanwhile Dave Beck, Seat
tle, international vice president
of the AFL Teamsters, insisted
he was remaining out of the
strike picture and denied he
planned to order teamsters in
11 western states to halt han
dling of all lumber.

answer to, a prediction of such
action by Kenneth W. Davis, exe

HULL'S ATTITUDE

Joint Warning to Tokyo
Proposed By Churchill in
August, 1941
Washington, Nov. 24 (U.R)
Former Undersecretary of Stat
Sumner Welles said today that
this country's only choice in the
anxious days before Pearl Har
bor was ultimate war in the east
or abject acquiescence in Japa
nese aggression.
Ho told the congressional
Pearl Harbor investigating com
mittee that he had concluded by
mid-September, 1941, that Japan
would not give up her career of
conquest and that war was In
evitable. Although he was fired from
the administration in 1943 be
cause of differences with then,
Secretary of State Cordell Hull,
Welles strongly defended the
diplomatic course of action his)
former boss took In pre-Pearl
Harbor negotiations with Japan.
Hull had described his 1941
activities to the committee yes
terday. Asked by Sen. Scott
Lucas, D., 111., if he agreed with.
Hull's statement, Welles replied:
"I agree with Mr. Hull com
pletely in the statement he has
made to the committee."
The suave Welles went before
the committee today for the
second time after the committee
had disclosed that former Bri
tlsh Prime Minister Winston
Churchill had proposed to the
late President Roosevelt on Nov.
30, 1941, that a Joint or parallel
war warning be sent to Japan.

after Pearl Harbor. Welles com

In his defense Of Hull's rlinln.

principles which his former boss
handed to Japanese emissaries
here. It was charged In an army

this note touched off Japan's
sneak attack of Dec. 7, 1941.
Welles testified am Hull hiJ
yesterday that the only ulti

In presenting the Nov. 26 re

considered three-month agree

this country would have made
slight economic concessions to
Japan.
Hull said vesterdav he with
