WHEN TIME MEANS LIVES
WHEN the Finns were accepting the Russian peace
settlement last winter there were some in the
United States who could not see why they did not fight
on. The more enthusiastic grai.dstanij warriors on this
side of the Atlantic—usually men nicely above any ex-
pected draft age—wanted to see the Finnish-Russian
war continued right down to the last Finn.
The British and French withdrawal from the south
portion of Norway throws some light on that past
event. With Holland Belgium and Luxembourg in the
trout oi us it is not difficult to see how effective allied
aid to Finland would have been and how long it would
have taken to get it on the ground.
then along came toe Norwegian affair. The story
was that the allies had 5000 completely-equipped men
|x)ised to leap off for Finland as the peace negotiations
neared an end and that this tully-readv force was
later dissipated by sending men home to play par-
cheesi that being just before the Germans invaded
Norway. That was why the British thiust into Norway
with 2000 ill-equipped troops was the best she could
do quickly months after the Finnish aid was an-
nounced to be fully ready.
About the only conclusion to be drawn from this
is that the Finns realists to the core judged correctly
just what help they might expect from the allies es-
pecially as it was obvious that any effort to land
allied forces in Scandinavia anywhere en route to Fin-
land would have brought instant German attacks.
They judged rightly that in spite of their gallant re-
sistance to the Russian machine they must lose in the
long run in the absence of effective help from either
the Swedes who wouldn’t or the allies who couldn’t
provide it.
All this followed pietty quickly by Holland Bel-
gium and Luxembourg indicates that the Finns prob-
ably were pretty well aware too that the allied men-
ace was in the west; that the allies would be forced
under threatening circumstances now become fact to
use every ounce of resource at their command for the
great offensive. The British cabinet anti the French
cabinet knew better than the parlor strategists here
in the United States what they were up against. The
allies could not send the help to Finland and later to
Norway because they didn't have it to send.
All this shows how clearly time means lives in a
military campaign. Your American grandstand stra-
tegist says “What has England been doing? The war
signals have been flying since Munich. The war itself
dawdled for six months.”
The same excuse perhaps that the United States
needs to explain why we have utterly failed in the
same time to provide the stockpiles of tin. rubber
manganese and other necessary war materials which
might be cut off from us if war should spread to the
East Indies or the Near East.
W'e have had the same warnings here in the United
States. W’e have temporized and fiddled with the
problem buying a little here a little there. But there
is no valid reason why with two full years of warnings
the United States should not have gotten together
emergency stocks of these materials.
The plan to purchase $50000(*00 worth of Dutch tin
is. of course a step in the right direction but we are
pretty slow in taking it.
It is easy to criticize British “muddling through.”
W’hat about the muddling that we have been en-
gaged in ourselves?

DO TAXES MAKE JOBS
A college professor Indicated In
• recent address that he has hit
upon the solution for the unem-
ployment problem. The solution he
offer* is quite simple; it consists
of levying heavier taxes on pro-
ductive enterprise. The professor
said that the present economic
system Is based on the gospel oT
saving and that the result Is disas-
trous And he declared that the
health of the American Industrial
system calls for greatly Increased
taxation. Pointing out that taxa-
tion provides for such needed pub-
lic services as education and good
roads the college professor went
aheau to sav that the more people
travel in automobiles the more
money there is available for gaso-
line taxes to build more roads for
more travel calling Tor the use of
more gasoline and resulting in the
r*Mection of more tag money
which would be used to build —
but theres no stopping place for
this kind of thing In that respect
It resembles the send-a-dime-to-
the top-man chain letter scheme of
a ftw years ago.
And It's about as sound as the
chain letter scheme was. Actually
It Is difficult to believe that a col-
lege professor would advocate any
»uch theory as this—but that's how
he was quoted by the newspapers
No indication has been given that
h** was misquoted
The way to cause a business to
h re mere workers then is to in-
crease the tax burden of that busi-
ness So. ail right. The Tax Policy
Lsague recently published a com-
pilation s owing the ratio of tax
collections to national income in
the United States during recent i
years. In 1930 when the national
Income was $38 302.000.000. total
tax collections amounted to 15.3
per cent of that sum. In 1939. when
the national income was *88 500.-
000.000. tax collections including
payroll taxes amounted to 20 1 per
cent of the Income. And the grand
total of taxes paid during the en-
tire decade of the ’thirties includ-
ing payroll taxes amounted to 18 6
per cent of the total national in-
come during the ten years Taxes
went up steadily during the decade
but the problem of unemployment (
was not solved. According to the
professor's theory substantial prog-
ress toward solving the problem
should hcve been made.
American business is paying
e in taxes now than it ever has
had to pay in the past. Th** money
paid in tne form of taxes to the
various units of government ob-
viously cannot be used for em-
ploying more workers—for plant
expansion—for replacing obsoles-
cent machinery and equipment.
Bark in 1929. when unemploy-
ment certainly was not so wide-
spread as it is today taxes took 12
per cent of the national income i
The national income iigure for that
year stood at a much higher figure
—$79.500.000.000—than it ever has
reached since but. even so total
tax collections were more than four
billion dollars below 1939 collections. [
The people are paying more taxes
Out of much less Income—but the
professor s theory hasn’t worked. ;
Nor will it work. Productive Jobs
:n private enterprise simply cannot
be created bv the imposition of <
constantly heavier taxes That is 1
almost a truism. Somebodv ought
to bruig it to the attention of the
college professor oefore he makes i
any more speeches—Texas Weekly
WASHINGTON — With the
>v ancient mariner. Mr Roose-
velt. at the helm for nearly eight
years and congress curing out
appropriations for his pet navy
you would naturally think the sea
is one defense line which is safe.
It is not.
The navy is far short today of
defending this Hemisphere. Of-
fensive developments have come
ro fast in Europe the last few
months. It is not prepared to carry
out the political commitments this
government has made to protect
both this country and Latin
Ar. erica.
The fixed minimum requirements
uf defense will not be ready for
three or lour years and even then
Latin America cannot be defended.
While congressional appropriations
have poured billions of blueprint
dollars into headlines actual ex-
penditures have lagged. The def-
iciency cannot soon be made no
because all available shipyards are
full and will be for the next few
years.
A SEARCH Inside the naval life-
line (following recent similar
quests of this column into the
army preparedness and accumula-
tion of vital strategic materials
like tin and rubber) indicates the
situation to be as follows:
The U S fleet is now barely
superior to that of Japan in the
Pacific and the AtlanEc is wide
open practically undefended All
tegether. Pacific and Atlantic fleets
give us a 3 7 to 3 ratio over Japan.
The part of this in the Atlantic
recently (current figures are con-
sidered military secrets* was com-
posed of three battleships all of
which are obsolete and one of
vnich cannot fire its guns because
it is demilitarized for training 6
heavy cruisers about 40 destroy-
ers. one aircraft carrier and a
number of over-age submarines.
These ships scattered the thou-
sands of miles from Maine to the
Straits of Magellan are aptly call-
ed a "scouting force." They could
r.ot prevent the establishment of
enemy bases and are not even in-
tended to. Planned improvements
in thus force for the next five
years will not secure any differ-
ent prospects. U. S naval policy
m the Atlantic has simply devend-
ed upon the friendliness of the
British fleet. That basis would be
washed away by a German victory
in Europe and threatened serious-
ly by a combination of such pow-
er? as Germany Russia. Italy and
Japan now.
~|~HE NAVY asked last January I
for a 25 per cent increase in
the fleet not to defend the At- |
lantic. but solely to restore the old I
5 to 3 advantage over Japan five 1
jcurs hence. Congress cut the in- j
c- use to 11 per cent. Congress rea-
soned on the practical basis that !
this is the limit of our shipbuild-
ing facilities for the next two
years. It prom sed to give the
navy the other 14 per cent next
January- if world conditions were
then still threatening.
But whether II per cent or 25 '
pei cent the bulk of these ships
will not be ready for 3 or 4 years.
The war may be over then. And
Admiral Stark the chief of oper-
a.ions has told congress that af-
ter he gets all these five years
nence our fleet will even then
"not be sufficient to defend our
home waters the Monroe Doctrine
our possessions our trade routes'
against a combination of Ja)an. i
Russia. Germany and Italy" He
warned: "Something would have to
be abandoned. Our home coasts.1
Hawaii the Panama Canal and its
approaches and the Atlantic ship-
ping ar$ * could not be abandoned.
We probably could not accom-
plish the defense of the Monroe
Doctrine.”
LJERE in a capsule is the strength
1 of the navy today plus iin
parenthesis) what it is to be in
five years compared with existing
foreign strengths and what the r
piesent building programs con-
templated • table excludes con-
firmed war losses up to May 1.)

\V rHEN you couple these facts
with the previously outlined
condition of our ill equipped army
which is smaller than that of Swit-
zerland and the fact that we have
accumulated Insufficient tin. rub-
ber and strategic war materials to
last a few months while we have
ly*en spending billions for gold we !
cannot use the dream of our
geographical sense of well being
evaporates.
These facts raise no issue of I
getting ready for going to war.
That offensive field is far beyond
this raised horizon Nor do they
:ry out for more and more money
to be appropriated by congress j
rbev simply raise the question of
efficiency and call loudly for alert
and competent planning and man-
agement. They simply say we are
is expo.-ed as the ostrich with his
head only secure in the sand If
peace Is to lie hereafter solely in
the unquestionable security of our
defenses we won't have it.

How To Eatl!
In Summer j
By ALICE H. SMITH
Nutritionist Cleveland Health
Counrli
The vitamins have sort of sneak-
ed up on the country. A io: o!
people atill don t know about them
—where to look for them at least.
Vitamin therapy for that matter
is still id Us infancy.
But enough is known about vita-
mins to keep the average person
pretty healthy. And you don t need
to look very hard for them eitner. ;1
Vitamins are always on stock at
your closest grocery
A glance at the dally quota oT
essential vitamins will show you !
that. If you want to be sure you
get them all. include Uie follow-
ing foods in your regular diet:
The equivalent of one pint of
milk dally 'adult* one and one- j
half pints to two pints for chil-
dren.
One serving dT green leafy or 1
yellow vegetables daily.
One serving potato daily.
One serving citrus fruit or to- 1
ms to dally.
At least one other serving of
fruit or vegetable daily. '
One or more serving* of whole 1
grain cereal daily. (l
One serving of egg meat or
meat substitute daily.
These foods plus the food nor- ‘
mally consumed to meet your bod-
ily needs will turntsh. according i
to our present knowledge of vita- 1i
mins all the A. Bl. C. riboflavin I
»nd nicotinic acid necessary for I
the normal {verson The adult re-
quirement for Vitamin D is un- ’
known. The child must secure his 1
Vitamin D either from exposure to i
sunlight and-or Vitamin D con- i
centrate. such as fish liver oil. 1
"Bi't the pills?** some persons i
ask “It’s so easy to get my vita- ‘
mins in pill* and then I don't 1
have to worry any more.- The i
answer to that is tuat you have to 1
worry mere because foods contain 1
in addition to vitamins mineral*. ;1
protein and energv all 01 which I
the body must have. 1
Moreover il t* more economical to i
have them in your food. If you can 1
afford concentrates you can afford 1
a good diet and If you can alford i
a good diet you don't need concen- 1
t rates.
If you buy right you can lug
home enough vitamin* to keep the \
whole family healthy. ]
That's pretty important these 1
first hot days. I
