WASHINGTON, May 10 (U. P.) «= {American “vitamin diplomacy” was ‘brought into play again today in an effort to stiffen the resistance of Marshal Henri Philippe Petain to reported new German demands for (broad concessions in unoccupied {and colonial France.
Promises of wheat, tea and sugar were held out by the State Department in a fresh attempt to block further German gains from the weakened Vichy regime. Success or failure of the U. S. move may help {cast the role of France in the ex{pected battle for the Mediterranean {and control of Africa." The promises, made to French Ambassador Gaston Henry-Haye by Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles yesterday, were conditioned on several important considerations which were said authoritatively to

The income of $3200 will ante enough to buy the Navy a float which may save the lives of 10 sailors. A man of the same status who makes around $4500 will contribute a propeller for a training plane, or the $375 equivalent, The $5000 man will provide the $550 Browning 30-caliber machine gun. The 50-caliber machine gun will look to the man who makes a little over $8000. Six hundred dollars will buy a 16-inch §hell for coast defense, according to the Navy, and the man who sponsors it is earning a little under $6000 this year, according to the Treasury. For $900 the Army officers can get a staff car, and it will be paid for by the man earning about $7000. If he makes close to $8000 he can buy a reconnaissance car, for the Army. The people who will contribute the artillery are drawing down $30,000 or more this year. A 75 mm. gun can be modernized with rubber tires, roller bearings and a split tail for $8000. A 37 mm. anti-tank gun costs about $9000. If for anti-aircraft use its cost goes up to $22,000. A new 75 mm, gun costs about $15,000, and the appropriate income-tax payer will

No one will know exactly what his money buys, of course, but the figures above should enable many a man’s breast to swell with pride. An innovation of naming shells, guns and ships for income-tax remitters might ease the shock slightly. In the interest of realities, it should be borne in mind that most of the bill will be paid by those getting $5000 or less because 80 per cent of the national income, by the latest statistics, comes from below the $5000 bracket. Or, to pursue the thought further, over half the national income runs to those who get $2000 or less.
