civilization that antedates that of any power of the present a history compiled from traditions ans1 written in a babel of languages a culture developed in countless conflicts between primitive religions a social system marked with caste and cruel customs—the semitropical peninsula that extends from the Himalaya mountains into the Indian ocean between the Arabian sea and the Bay of Bengal has always been a vast puzzle board upon which no tribe nor creed nor cult nor race has ever pondered to reach a satisfactory conclusion India passed through the misty periods of tribal amalgamation black superstition yellow spiritualism and white ritualistic religion through corresponding periods of Buddhism and Mohammedanism spurning untouchables and burning widows with the corpses of husbands down to a reluctant acceptance of modern concessions which began with the advent of the British on December 31 1600 Many of the old practices of suttee pollution of the Ganges and artistic thuggery were gradually eliminated but the general appearance of India and the strange mysticism of her people have not changed very much There are still some 45 races occupying about 50 provinces or states speaking 200 languages and divided into more than 2400 castes and tribes That is a riddle to give any government a headache especially when one considers the fact that 239195140 Hindus have to be harmonized and that 77677548 Moslems 15000000 Buddhists 9000000 Animists 6000000 Christians 4500000 Sikhs and 2000000 Parsees must be reconciled to acts of the Indian congress and edicts of Mahatma Gandhi East Indians want and deserve independence from British supervision but without some competent control chaos might easily result with all the disaster that invariably attends This is the beginning of another important drive to achieve one of the foUr freedoms essential to success in war and puissance in peace "Social Hygiene Day" marks the beginning of a series of conferences in all parts of the United States to discuss ways and means to eliminate or control another etremy that threatens to retard the normal development of the human race intellectually physically and - spiritually - Through today and tomorrow regional groups and associations engaged in this difficult campaign for health and happiress will hold sessions in the Spaulding Memorial hall' in Salt Lake City headquarters for the intermountain division of the national organization There are but nine such centers in the entire republic Representatives will attend from the army navy public health departments of the state and counties as well asmembers af commissions and associations interested in this work One of the executive leaders during the conference and the campaign to be recommended for the current year will be Elias L Day president of the Utah Social Hygiene association One of the principal speakers to be heard during the conference is Dr Walter Clarke of New York City executive director of the national movement Others will include Sidney Howell field director and Bishop Arthur W Moulton an active crusader in this worthy cause In a statement issued by President Day the purpose of the gathering is to confer on "methods for protecting the health and morale of soldiers sailors workers in war industries and civilians In this community and section of the nation" just as other conferences will devote their efforts and energies toward the same ends in other regional subdivisions President Day said further: "Special t!tttention will be directed toward public recognition of the need not only to protect our armed forces and industrial workers from the menace of venereal diseases and to safeguard them from physical and moral hazards of prostitution and sex delinquency but also to emphasize' the necessity of building strong family life and national health for the future" Great strides have been made in overtaking and frustrating the inroads these malignant afflictions have made in every strata of society and all elements of the earth's population Little hope for success suriived centuries of defeat until the fog of false modesty was penetrated by the sunlight of publicity Victims of the malady had perished in humiliation or diffused the contagion in ignorance because compulsory examinations had never been imposed or enforced People shuddered when "social diseases" were mentioned a few years ago They were overcome with confusion when the term was translated into "venereal a ilm ents" Finally deciding that timidity was the first obstacle to overcome a numg ber of persons notably Dr Thomas Parran federal surgeon general began exposing the evils of secrecy Under guid2rice of an outspoken press a number of health and professional associations began to describe and depict the symptoms and ravages of syphilis and the need of absolute frankness and cooperation in prescribed treatments leadiag to permanent cures Responses were not unanimous but encouraging as soon Pi S it became understood that the infection did not necesaarilv come from acts of immorality— that the germs could be absorEed in the hands or eyes from using a towel or a cup already contaminated even from the arm of a chair or a strap in a street car polluted by the touch of a septic case— and that it is no longer regarded as disgraceful but extremely dangerous This attitude has been very helpful to those who are trying to drive out this insidious far-seein- enern Although Sweden Norway and Denmark practicPlly eradicated the contagion in the course of a single generation it aill take some time a lot of money and constant vigilance to achieve similar reaults in this country—but the cost in labor and funds will be offset many times by the salvage of human lives As other dread diseases have been conquered in passing years—smallvox tulaarculosis and diphtheria—so can synhilis be banished if organizations like these holding conferences todqv and

people Rip Van 31ussolini Enlightens His Country men I In a daze after a doze awakened by the guttural voice of the fuehrer's physician il duce forgets his illness long enough to tell his disillusioned countrymen that they can recapture the empire he lost while learning the goosestep "Somewhere in central Italy" a microphone picked up a speech Mussolini made the other day and sent it through the air and across the continents like a trial balloon "We and our comrades of the axis" he exclaimed "reply hereby to the mad criminal propagandist mystification of Casablanca that we shall never give up as long as we are able to grasp a weapon for combat" Just how long that is likely to be "deponent saith not" However he pledged his military might to return to the lost colonial areas "where our dead await us and where we have left indestructible marks of our powerful civilization" Back to the cemeteries of the dark continent where the dead will welcome him—to the bleaching bones of slaughtered tribesmen which are marks of his civilizing power! As an indication of how long il duce has been asleep and how soundly he has slept he told his people that "the Germans have beaten the Russians" and that "victory is within the reach of the axis" Rip

whole day and find that wet cold feet aren't the indifferent matter that they were some years So mighty uncomfortable with a ago rheumatic knee and penitent because I have so long refused to wear rubbers or overshoes But managed to visit my of any kind publishers and there to deposit completely corrected first galley proofs of "Kansas Irish" There is a great feeling of satisfaction when you've completed those first galley proofs You remember how you caught certain typographical errors that the regular proud proofreaders missed and feel pretty But the disillusionment always comes when yosa read through the finishedbound book for the first (and only) time and find the errors you missed in proof I have a letter from a young man whose name I'd rather withhold He doesn't give me his age but I am sure he is very young which is not a crime under any statute This young man wants to know of a reliZon that he may join and specifies the terms on which he will consent to join any church There must be no Jehovah or Jesus the religion nor any Buddha or suchlike personage In scathing juvenile language this young person condemns God reciting a long list of supposi errors and offenses lkiy only suggestion is that the young start his own religion right now Since he is so much wiser and greater than God and knows more than all the millions of people wise and unwise who have worshipped God from the beginning until now he must be his own god and worship himself In The Inquiring Reporter WASHINGTON — Mr Morgenthau's tax counsel Randolph Paul has taken the smart lawyer's way of bawling up the house ways and means committee about the Ruml plan and In the selling of WAR BONDS what brio ToArAri 1 2 SALE5 mA N A C E R pay-as-you-- this year Actually his plan to ease the problem of whether these war taxes can be collected is to collect two years in one making 1942 and 1913 taxes payable this year minus 19 per cent Only those with incomes under $2000 a year would fail to have their taxes approximately double To ameliorate the suffering he would increase the nation's load Si per cent Not even Mr Paul can believe that this could be done but he d chamhas found a high-place- pion of his cause It so happens that Chairman Doughton of the committee actually saved year his taxes for this year and he has them in the bank It would be no hardship for him to pay two years in one and he thinks everyone else should have saved similarly So he is backing Mr Paul with a last sympathetic substitute DidNot Advance Plan The treasury did not advance Its proposal for another 81 per cent increase in taxes for this year as a formal plan A smart lawyer would never do that in the face of public enthusiasm for Ruml He doesn't even officially oppose the Ruml plan and professes to believe in He merely let himself be called as a witness and offered the doubling idea as a "suggested substitute" for Ruml pay-as-you-- Unfortunately the tax lawyers representing the public on the ways and means committee have not had as much experience as Mr Paul Suspicion and confusion have been spread among them The administration has planted the suspicion that the Rural plan would favor the rich (over $2000) in some way or another not sufficiently evident to be presented clearly and forcefully The committee in turn has become suspicious of Mr Paul's sincerity in backing pay-as-you-- What will come out of it nobody knows The only thing certain to an observer is the fact that the whole system of war taxation has not been efficiently organized to get the moat money with the least suffering Neither the treasurynor congress has been able to furnish the leadership for devising new methods but merely continued to increase old taxes more and more each year toward the breaking point A simple solution for the conspired confusion over the Ruml plan would be to simplify it still further Let MrRuml eliminate the feature of his plan reouiring the taxpayer to balance up tvith the treasury in 1944 on the basis of earnings this year Then the taxpayer would pay this year exactly as at present on the basis of earnings made last year but let it be called this year's taxes Let each taxpayer in future years pay similarly on the basis of his previous year's earnings Eliminate Debt Eliminate only his oblieaation of being :always a year in debt to the government When Ile die' or his earnings otherwise rease because of illness or unemployment let his tax obligation cease Or if his income is diminished let his tax obligation diminish as of the same date This would put the nation on a plan devoid of unprovable suspicions It would heln the man unable to pay his taxes but not the man rt-Qincome justifies taxes—unless he die become ill or unemnloyed or otherwise suffer reverses The man whose income is increasing might get what Mr Paul would call an "advantage" out of delaying a year in paying increased taxes but that is largely a lawyer's theoretical prospect as the national facts of the situation suggest income now is at its believed peak and will start declining as soon as the war is over The adventarre in truth therefore would still be generall on the side of the treasury the treasury always seems to want to keep it Distributed by King Features Syndicate Inc pay-as-you-- V:l ‘1 k 'Vt t:i' i t aiAo--- 1114 invesr ? r 1- C'N14-5- Pin-- ' ' ti c" 1 21L''11' - A)d---1wr--
