La Iline Public Works Two of President Roosevelt's pet projects have been the harnessing of tides in Maine's Passamaquoddy bay, and the digging of a ship canal across northern Florida. "Quoddy" was started several years ago, much of the $7,000,000 original appropriation being spent on preliminaries to the actual job. When congressional opponents ar-gued that Quoddy's power would have no outlet because it could not be transmitted profitably to New England industries, a new appropri-ation was refused in 1936. Since then the buildings have been used by NYA. , Likewise a start was made on the Florida canal, but last year con-gress balked on more funds. The arguments against it: That Florida's fruit industry might be damaged by seepage of salt water; that it was EDITOR'S NOTE When opinions ttt expressed in theso columns, they art those ol the news tnalyst, nd not necessarily of the newspaper. Europe At Rome, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain had received no reassurances but merely Benito Mussolini's threat lo end the Span-ish war immediately by helping Rebels against Loyalists. That done, II Duce would have his hands free to press Mediterranean territorial demands against France. England and France could choose between helping the Loyalists or keeping hands oil and letting Mussolini win the war. Since Chamberlain had reportedly made no concessions in Rome, it was first thought a new policy of was dawning, inferring a Franco-Britis-plump for the Loyalists. But within a few days some nega-tive results of the Rome conversa-tions were apparent. Back in Lon-don, Mr. Chamberlain paid no at-tention to a letter from Clement R. Attlee, Parliament's labor leader: "It is obvious that the policy of non-intervention (in Spain) has now be- - rent parity payments of $212,000,-00- 0, congress is in no mood to take the initiative. It may well be that this indecision is responsible for re-vival of last year's McAdoo-Eiche- r farm bil Just reintroduced in house and senate respectively by North Dakota's Rep. William Lemke and Sen. Lynn J. Frazier. Its crux: Minimum price levels would be established for do-mestically consumed farm prod-ucts, while all surplus products would be dumped on world markets for whatever they would bring. Pro-ceeds, less marketing costs, would be returned to the farmer. critics argue that removal of crop restrictions would glut the market, drive prices down and force grain dealers to pay a large margin between the actual market price and the price. This margin, it is main-tained, would eventually be assessed against the consumer. Taxation Two former U. S. treasury secre-taries, Andrew W. Mellon and Og-de- n L. Mills, condemned the in-equity of tax exempt federal, state and local bonds. Since his "soak-the-rich- " revenue proposal of 1935, President Roosevelt has fought tax exempt securities and one other un-popular exemption, that on federal, state and local employees' salaries. If these exemptions could be abol-ished the U. S. government figures it would net eventually $300,000,000 annually from government securi-ties, plus $16,000,000 from employ-ees' income taxes. One day before the President of-fered this program to congress in a special message, he sent Treas-ury Undersecretary John W. Hanes to pave the way before a special senate committee. Said Mr. Hanes: "The time for action has come." The Constitution's Sixteenth amendment gives congress power to "lay and collect taxes on incomes from whatever source derived," therefore the administration thinks statutory enactment rather than constitutional amendment will suf-fice. Later, after congress has spo-kp- n, the courts can decide whether its action is constitutional. Argued Mr. Hanes: Tax exempt securities now per-mit many large-incom- e persons to escape income taxes entirely, there-fore they are unfair. The $65,000,-000,00- 0 in tax exempt securities now outstanding (of which some $50,000,-000,00- 0 would be taxable) is so for-midable that it discourages invest-ment in private enterprises involv-ing risk. Thus industry cannot com-pete. As for income tax exemp-tions, the U. S. Supreme court has already set a precedent by ruling that salaries of such quazi-publi- c agencies as the Port of New York authority are subject to federal tax-ation. As might be expected, state and local groups jumped into the fight overnight. Argued the Conference ' V , v-f?- v iWiMlmiMiifiimiini''rmfi irWJW 'Utr'ifr1" SENATOR GLASS "It won't happen again." unnecessary; that southern Florida would sufler irreparable economic damages. This winter President Roosevelt has asked an economy-minde- d con-gress to revive both projects and appropriate $100,000,000 to complete them. On Quoddy: "... The time will come when there will be a joint agreement between Canada and the United States for the joint develop-ment of the larger sized project which would utilize all tidal power in that bay on both sides of the international date line ... It is my thought that an appropriation for . . . test borings and ... a small experimental plant . . . would be justified." On the canal: "A Florida ship canal will be built one of these days ... It is justified today by commercial and military needs." While the house rivers and har-bors committee under Texas' Rep. Joseph J. Manfield prepared to ar-gue the proposal, Virginia's out-spoken Sen. Carter Glass spared no words: "In 1936 the late Senator Fletcher of Florida came to me with tears in his eyes, saying his po-litical future would be ruined if Florida didn't get the canal. He asked me to vote for it, and like a old fool I did. Cut it won't happen again." International Last summer oppressed China begged the League of Nations to ap-prove sanctions against Japan. This was done, but only by resolution sug-gesting that league members take whatever action they saw fit. Noth-ing happened until a r, the U. S., began applying pressure against export of arms to Ja-pan. Great Britain followed suit in small measure, but thus far the in-ternational boycott has failed. Showing typical Oriental resigna-tion to fate, China's Dr. Wellington Koo, ambassador to France, has again broached the boycott issue in Geneva. His proposal: That an in-ternational commit-tee" be named to unify world action against Tokyo. Membership would include both league and non-leagu- e nations. Only result of Dr. Koo's plea has been to focus attention on the league's weakness, also to point out that only Britain, France and Russia now hold that badly battered organi-zation together. The Chinese diplo-mat knew he could get no support without first winning U. S. support. Hence he pointed out that President Roose-velt's January 4 message to con-gress had "proffered the of the American people in sup-port of the cause of democracy and peace." France, Britain and Russia agreed. Not daring to speak, all three turned eyes westward across the Atlantic awaiting Washington's leadership. Religion In prosperous years church mem-bership and attendance remains even or shows a very slight in-crease. During depressions mem-bership ana ailenaance will rise through a return to religion. Fore-most among U. S. religious statisti-cians is Rev. Dr. Herman C. Weber, whose report for 1937 has just been released. Salient facts and figures: Total membership early in 1938 was church members having in-creased 960,000 in 1937 (twice as fast as the population). Churches increased by 1,743. A trend to church unity was evident, since 97.3 of the total U. S. cnurch population belongs to the 50 larger bodies About 160 smaller bodies accour for the remaining 2.7 per cent. LABOR'S CLEMENT ATTLEE Mr. Chamberlain ignored his letter. come the means of insuring that the Spanish (Loyalist) government shall be unable to provide for its defense against aggression by a foreign power." In Paris, where first news of Chambei Iain's alleged was greeted by demands for French assistance to Loyalist Spain as a self-defen- measure, later news from London brought a cool-ing off. The whispers: That Cham-berlain had secretly agreed with Mussolini to let Rebel Spain win, constituting an additional appease-ment at the expense of France. Whatever the cause, the Paris chamber of deputies felt obliged to approve Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet's declaration decreeing "hands oft"" in Spain. Meanwhile, despite disastrous losses in northeastern Catalonia, Spain's Loyalists felt their cause was not defeated. Authoritatively reported from Paris was the fact that Loyalists had reached an un-derstanding with the Vatican, aided by a growing Catholic opinion that Rebel Generalissimo Francisco Franco may be using the religious issue merely as a cloak for his fun-damental Fascist aims. Neverthe-less, Loyalist Spain still has much weaker friends than General Fran-co, who continues to get aid from both Italy and Germany. Pressing their current advantage, Berlin and Rome are hastening dip-lomatic victories in the east before Britain gets around to calling a new four-powe- r conference for European peace. While Italy's County Gal-leaz- o Ciano visits in Jugoslavia and Warsaw, Germany is making hay in at least three eastern countries: (1) A $60,000,000 credit agreement has been signed with Turkey for de-livery of German manufactured goods; 2) Germany has accredited a minister to Saudi Arabia; (3) Hun-gary and Germany have tightened their bonds. Agriculture When commodity prices drop, U. S. farmers in the AAA crop control program receive parity payments, designed to maintain fiirm purchasing power. Under the first AAA parity payments came from processing taxes, later out-lawed by the Supreme court. Un-der the second AAA parity pay-ments merely increase the federal deficit since last winter's congress made no provision for them. This shortcoming was brought to con-gress' attention in President Roose-velf- s recent budget message. But even the President has failed to suggest means of financing the payments, having merely stipulated that no new taxes shall be levied which increase the consumers' bur- - I TREASURY'S HANES "The lime for union has come." of State Defense: Tax yield would not approach the immediate treas-ury estimate of $70,000,000 a your. Moreover it would work hardship on states and municipalities by increas-ing financing costs. The statutory procedure would be unconstitution-al. Most important, once congress' power to tax income of state and lo-cal securities has been established, a situation could arise in which con-gress would attempt to tax state revenues. Argued the U. S. Confer-ence of Mayors, in a similar vein: Federal and state governments may recoup from income taxes the high-er costs to municipalities in interest on their bonds. Observers thought income tax ex-emption could be repealed easily, but were less confident about tax exempt securities. den. Processing taxes would do this but Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace favors pulling this trick from the bag once more, hop-ing a liberalized Supreme court will approve the idea.
