BROWN Member o f Congress#’"’ Seventh Ohio District. While Administration -leaders are endeavoring ter convince the Ameri cam people that the part the United State* is to jflay# i * World War NS. 2 is to be confined to.limited naval war and to the furnishing, o f finances and military supplies to-those nations op posing the. Axis Powers, there .are many indjeations-that-an “ ajl out” war including a large American expedi­ tionary force; is now being;, planned. Last week it was reveajed-thdt AineVi,, can military-chieftans are already Working on plans f o j an. American expeditionary for<se o f eight million men—three million o f whom ai'e to be fighting or shock troops, and five mil­ lion fo r replacement and .other uses. American officers are already in, var­ ious- parts o f Europe, Asia, and Africa- studying the possibilities for such'ex­ peditionary forces, tt is being: official­ ly stated, o f course, .that the use of American troops, over-seas is not be­ ing contemplated at this time, and that the plans being made-are not out o f line with usual military policies. A study of War Department contracts reveals that purchases ,are being made and- planned on the basis o f an American army o f ten, million soldiers1. It was revealed in Senate debate last week that three million Americans are soon to be in army training camps; Last Thursday General Hershey, Na­ tional Director o f Selective Service, issued a statement'that it may soon be necessary to draft boys between ages o f . eighteen and twenty-one in. order; to get the required number;of selectees for the American army.

Preparing for war, and serving as , the arsenal and the treasury for half the world at the same time, is indeed' costly. Just a few weeks ago, in late September, the Congress passed a new tax bill, to. raise three and a half bil­ lion dollars in additional ■ revenue and to -place upon the American people the heaviest burden o f taxation in the Jlistoryjjf the- nation, .Yet this-is not the end- Late last week Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau. in confer- enca^with leaders o f the House Ways and Means Committee, asked that Congress begin considering new Fed­ eral taxes and increases in old taxes, to become effective in January, 1942, to bring in from four to. six billion dollars in additional revenue above that already provided. The Treasury Secretary's suggestions include the levying o f another tax o f fifteen per­ cent on all incomes in addition to the present income tax provided fo r .in tho tax bill passed last September. He also asks for new excise taxes and numerous other changes in the tax structure to bring in additional in­ com e . He likewise recommends the taxing o f all salaries at the source, which will mean that the income taxes o f wage earners will be taken out of their pay envelopes each week by/ the employer for transmission to the Fed­ eral Treasury. There is also consider­ able talk o f a “ forced saving plan,” speh as is now being used jn England, whereby the government taxes ten, fifteen or twenty percent o f each per* son’s income tq be repaid in like amount some time after the war is over and the emergency ended. Coupl­ ed with the proposed taking over o f state unemployment and like funds, and heavy increases in social security taxes, the Administration hopes to ob­ tain sufficient income to pay some­ where near, half of next year’s pro­ posed expenditures. Under present plans Mr. Roosevelt and his adminis­ tration hope to be able to spend forty billion dollars—or a little better than pne hundred million dollars each day —during the coming year, This last week, in speaking to a lpbpr meeting, President Roosevelt ap­ pealed to the American people to make every sacrifice o f time, effort, money, ami resources for the defeat pf Hitler, He told his heaters that the rank and file o f our citizenship must do without many necessities, es­ pecially metals, in order to manufac­ ture the needed munitions and mili­ tary equipment for the use of those fighting the Axis Powers, Already the Federal Government has issued orders against the use o f copper for practi­ cally all civilian purposes, Copper was One o f the things the President Was talking about in his address. Tho Same day the President delivered hi* address it Was revealed in Congress that the plans for the new. War De-. partment building call for the use o f four hundred thousand pounds o f cop­ per for ornamental purposes only, as well as for the use o f a great deal o f other strategic metals fo r prna- DIVORCE GRANTED .

Now that the official announcement has been made by Joe Mason o f the dismissal o f Herman Eavey as treas­ urer of the Greene County AAA, fol­ lowing the first publication by tho Herald, fr rmers are asking the reason why among themselves. There is a tendency to discount Chairman Ma­ son’s statement. The only other member o f tho board to make a statement that we have heard was David C. Bradfute who said: “ We are. very, very sorry such action had to be taken but there was nothing else we could do,” Numerous, reports are in circula­ tion among Xenia Twp. farmers many of whom refuse to accept the “ official announcement** and openly say the whole thing looked like unloading Eavey because he “ would not change his politics," and. join with the Com­ munists in management o f the AAA program, The Herald has made an investiga­ tion as to when the “ notice” upon which Eavey was removed was receiv­ ed. in another county. There was no delay in that county. So far as we can learn no such a situation can be found,in this part o f the state and the views o f many' of Eavey’s friends that he Was “ panned” seemed to pre­ vail. ; Eavey lias been given a minor ap­ pointment of “ Community Committee­ man,” a'pay job but not on par with the position as treasurer. .

Now Farm Parity Yardstick Urged U % .->• 41 -T,•*-- ’ H'y- / CHICAGO—Charles W. Holman, secretary o f •the National Co-Operat- ’ ive Milk Producers ’1 Federation, prp>> posed a new “ parity” yardstick to “ free the farmer” from 1910-14 liv­ ing standards^and to allow.him- a hare o f gains given the city worker by technological progress. Mr. Holman, chairman o f the Na­ tional Parity Committee established by a_group of. farm leaders, described he. plan., before the milk federation’s 5th annual convention. “ The most glaring fault o f the' present method,” Mr. Holman said, is that it tends to freeze the former’s standard o f living to the past—I9l0f- 14—for most.products.” Editor’s Note—-The Herald: has con­ tended from the first that the Agricul­ ture program was unfair to farmers due to the fact a period o f prices.for parity was taken when* they* were low and not on par with high prices being enjoyed by manufacturers -and wages for labor in war industry. There has: been & basis o f criticism against the doctrine preached •by agents o f the -AAA which was order­ ed drilled into farmers purely, fo r the purpose o f deception by the Com­ munist control o f federal department in Washington.
