Are We A Nation of Fools? . . % ~Most Americans, undoubtedly, are still good Americans, ‘who put the welfare of their country ahead of selfish advantage. But there are conditions now existing in this nation which are an affront to every right-thinking citizen. There are conditions which make friendly and‘enemy powers alike wonder whether we are:a nation of fools. There are thousands of fine American youths in army training camps,.giving a year, or possibly two or three years, to’ their-cowntry’s service for dollar-a-day’ wages. ‘There are COMES THE SPRING FRESHET THINKING OUT LOUD ‘(Continued from Page One) _all intents is only the anti-cham‘sary while the country girds itself soldiers. How would you correct this injustice? Well, since the present peace time emergency to ber of war, why not declare a national war emergency, and by government fiat (the Président either has or could obtain the power) freeze wages and prices, Why permit either employer or employe to exploit the emergency for selfish reasons, Would this step do away with individua liberty and free enterprise? It would to a large extent, but any government must secure and exercise centralized powers to prosecute a war successfully. If prices were frozen there would be no reason for demands for increased° wages on the part of workers anywhere in this country. The President declares that industry must forego usua profits and all must make sacrifices. He states that there must be no ‘“‘unnecessary’’ strikes. Is any strike necesThe root of the problem, From the few wealthy much is taken of their accumulated wealth, but from workers is so many weeks or months of their productive labor. In Germany the weathy no longer exist, except as corrupt politics have made a few members of the Nazi party, wealthy. Of the German national income, the goyernment takes 72 per cent. All but a tiny fraction of it comes from the workers, In England much the same condition obtains. Se The worker in any war, either in a democracy or a dictatorship pays for the major cost of war with his labor. He gives some months of his labor year, the time depending on ‘the tax rate, to his country. The soldier, in this case gives a whole year to his country. especially for democracies is: To equalize the tax burden so that all contribute, proportionately of what they have, to the cause. In time of peace this result of the tax sys= tem is roughly approximated. But it is even more imperative to do so in times of war, or near war. For nothing rankles in the hearts of free men more than injustice. rapidly for possible war?

For in little Switzerland, when the Rotary club of Zurich meets, there enter visitors from Denmark, Holland, Poland, and other countries now submerged. These men are Rotarians without a club, Their names are never published. No record is kept of their presence there. So Rotary lives, like a stream that loses itself beneath the surface to reappear again under happier circumstances. For Rotary, declared Dr. Knoles, is a living thing. Its principles will survive and its organization grow. Rotary and Democracy are associated. Rotary cannot exist under totalitarian conditions.

It is the workers, — = Sweat and Sacrifice a Fifteen million American citizens—and some 3,500,000 O American business firms—have just finished filing their federal income tax returns. While the total tax on 1940 earnings _is still unknown, it is estimated at approximately Three Billion Dollars, the heaviest direct assessment on the people of the United States in all our history as a nation. Nor is that the end; it is simply the beginning. Secretary of the Treasury Morganthau has announced that as soon as he knows the exact amount of current collections he will start to work on new tax proposals. Eternal vigilance never has been the full price of liberty. Liberty is bought with sweat and sacrifice—and America is making ready to pay the price.
