Wlien will the44drive"to sell Defense Savings Bonds begin? ' vv.-'"' "• '> ** A, There will be.no "drive." If any people think of the Defense Savings Program as like the Liberty Loan campaigns of the first World War, which were conducted for stated periods to raise specific quotas. The Defense Savings Program is a long-range, continning effort t<£ stimulate the public to buy more and more Defense Bonds and Stamps month by month, and is essentially a program to promote mads saving, as Well as to provide money for defense. Qi Are the Defense Savings Stamps sold at retail stores exchangeable for Defense Savings Bonds? A. Yes. They are the same as Stamps on gale q|. post offftees and elsewhere. ; V y r NOTE --• To purchase Defense Bonds and Stamps, go to nearest post office, bank, or savings and loan association; or write to the Treasurer of the United States, Washington, D. C. Also Stamps now are on sale at most retail stores. tp QUIZ Washington, Nov. 12--Discordant echoes flow from the nation-wide observance of Armistice Day. The holiday intended to reflect an end to one war finds the government militant and making ready for another fracas. With a special Japanese envoy coming from the homeland te talk about issues on which a Far Eastern war hinges, a Neutrality Act in its final stage of revision to allow arming of merchant ships and the U. S. Navy scouring the Atlantic for German submarines now attacking American convoys, the dove of peace finds an unstable perch around the Nation's Capital. International affairs have beclouded the national spot-light which John L. l.ewis ••ought for his stunts of defying the President and the labor peace-makers in the National Defense Mediation Board. Somehow the threat of a coal miners' strike supplemented by prospects of a railroad walk-out failed to excite the politicians or the populace. The pparent indifference may be traced more sensational developments closer perhaps than an impending war. The Treasury Department's proposal for a 15 per cent income tax deducted from pay envelopes plus highfr Social Security contribution? each pay day was something personal and tangible to worry the folks. The proposition, seriously advocated by our fiscal authorities, had the effect of a cold shower, The lawmakers, with art eye to public reaction at the spring primaries, were frankly astounded as the Treasury dumped the matter of raising more revenue intq the laps for quick action. I • The new tax plan will probably be more of a shock to the millions of citizens who have never been forced to pay Uncle Sam each year along with the small army of regular tax contributors. The "withholding tax* means adoption of an enforced payment scheme similar to the "checkoff" adopted by C.I.O. unions to insure collection of membership dues. Probably, if adopted, this method of collection taxes will disillusion those who have reveled in high wages on defense jobs with no thought of paying the piper. Coupled with higher rates for unemployment insurance and old age benefits, oil classes of workers! are expected to have an intimate view of Uncle Sam, tax collector. which is a different idea than beneficiaries of Federal largess realized. The wide scope of the Treasury tax plan will probably be narrowed by Congress after some trading between the White House and the Capitol. Some believe it will have a salutary effect on public thinking as to the cost of defense and the necessity for economy in non-defense expenditures. The tax revision and the Japanese crisis may cancel the long holiday recess promised the lawmakers. Likewise, the drastic change in taxes is expected to give impetus to pricecontrol measures now stmied in the House and under fire for exemption of wage and farm price ceilings. The Canadian program of stabilizing wage rates around a 1926-1940 wage "ceflinjr" plus a cost-of-living bonus Is training in favor but blocked by trade unions. The House Ways and Means Committee through which revenue bills are funneled has passed the word that tax changes cannot be scheduled until January. Actually, the legislators want the time to scout around for a less painful method of raising government funds. Thoughts are turning ts a manufacturers' sales tax as a mors equitable means of tapping the people's pocketbooks. The "check-offtax" presents many problems of collection and one in which trade unions have a vital concern. .Union member subjected to double deductions before receiving their pay might want abolition or reduction in union dues, especially if the government must be paid a share of their earnings at the same time. There is some fear that instead of serving as an anti-inflation device the taxing plan could prove a boomerang by inspiring organized demands for higher wages to compensate for loss in average income thro heavy Federal levies. The Commodity Credit Corporation has recent estimates indicating that Federal expenditures during the current fiscal year will approximate onefourth of our national income; nearly one-fifth of our national income will be used in the defense program alone. Federal receipts during the current year will approximate one-half of Federal expenditures. Reports show the Administration is frowning upon the! policy of additional borrowing. They claim the government would be creating additional purchasing power without offsetting it by increased taxes. It is argued that by borrowing there will be more purchasing power than products to purchase-- more money than things to buy. Prices will inevitably rise, and inflation would follow. Representatives of the construction industry, who have been here for several days exploring the effect of defense priorities on building, left town convinced that little relaxation in restrictions can be expected. The defense "brass-hats" told the builders frankly that scarce materials going into housing will not be available for non-defense uses much longer. Confessions Saturdays: 8:00 p.m. and 7:00p.
