At that time, A. F. of L. may expect to be blasted in return. ' WINSTON CHURCHILL He, among others, was ashamed. a move quite contradictory to his .^glo-German peace pact and his sion that not even Mr. Chamber lain trusts Adolf Hitler or Benito Mussolini very far. Meanwhile, France has been quick to make peace with Italy by recognizing her conquest of Ethi opia. Her parliament, by over whelmingly approving the Munich pact, agreed that no price was too high for peace even though it meant, relegating France to the position of a second-rate power. But sorely- to fight. navy The] The rei Eduard Benes ing public sentiment against i that Strangest feature of labor’s war IS that both factions remain loyal to President Roosevelt, who should have incurred A.

Though Mr. Lewis has been conspicuously silent about the administration, Mr. Greeu has been quick to point out that C.

Nip- kneed democracies, indicates Czechoslovakia is giving in to de mands for co-operation with the Rorne-Berlin axis. It is almost humorous to reflect that Great Brit ain has agreed to defend Czecho slovakia’s integrity. Even more tragic is Chancellor Hitler’s demand for reparations from Czechoslo vakia, to be paid out of the $150,000,- 000 loan recently granted the Czechs by Great Britain. With central ■ Europe turned over completely fo dictatorship, with Russia breaking her French alli ance and crawling back into silence, France and Britain apparently stand alone, friendless, merely tol erated by her “friends”—Italy and Germany. Taxation Though cam p a igning politicians do not speak of it, next w inter’s congress will probably turn the in come tax headache into a night mare\. With another federal deficit in prospect, with high income brackets already taxed to the lim it, the solution will be a broadening of tax base on middle and low m- come groups, i. e., the man making less, than $50,000 a year. Present exem p tions are $1,000 for single per sons, $2,500 for married persons, ■ ■ ’ ’epen Dendent 1,067,736 on that s, an estimated 8,400,000 would yield from $200,000,000 to $500,000,- 000 more under the proposed plan for reducing exemptions to $500 for single persons, $1,000 for mar.^ Tied persons and $200 for depend ents. Chief victims would be those now paying in the low income brackets, a prospect that bodes vir tual political suicide for any con gressman who favors the measure. Only alternative would be federal sales taxation, which “horrified” President Roosevelt when he first took office and has since been dead issue.

On this assump tion, a furore will come in Repub- lic^an ranks February 1 when 81,000 Democratic workers in so-called emergency agencies are moved into civil service classification.

The longer our armed resist ance continues, the stronger will our determination grow.” General Chiang’s prophecy' is al ready fulfilled. Though Chinese have won no spectacular victories, Japan’s drive up the Yangtze to Hankow has cost more casualties any previous phase of the war. Every indication is that Japan will never control more than rivers, rail roads and highways, that huge and lumbering China will eyentually as similate whatever permanent Jap anese population is sent over to ad- m|hister the conquered territory. • Since “peace at any price” be came Europe’s watchword during the Czechoslovakian crisis, it is just possible the same watchword may be applied to Spain’s civil war.

CANDIDATE LEHMAN One good man against another, attorney would “ abandon” his rack ets prosecution to enter g o v ernm ent al affairs in which he has “no real record of accomplishment.” What everyone knows is that Tom De^ey can have anything he wants from the Republican party, even the 1940 presidential nomination, if he wins. That is one reason Franklin Roosevelt was willing to patch up his quarrel with Governor Lehman, who opposed the Supreme court en largement bill.
