Originally Planned,

+ Own Military Requirements.

By MACK

United Press Staff Correspondent : WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—The United States and Great Britain are expected to arrange for substantial assistance to Soviet Russia—even to the extent of cutting into their own armament requirements—during the forthcoming con-

ferences of their military

authoritative quarters said today. . A tentative decision to provide more aid than had been anticipated originally was said to have been reached by the

two nations because of the of the Red armies and to belief that assistance to them is now the best strategy for defeating Germany. A pledge of aid to Premier Josef * - Stalin of Russia was given by President Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill after their recent meeting in the North Atlantic. : The stiff Russian resistance, according to well-informed sources, already is causing a heavy drain upon German manpower and material, and these quarters believe that the Russians can hold out at least through the tough winter months, thus further sapping Nazi strength. The five-man American mission composed of Army, Navy, Air and industrial experts is headed by W. Averell Harriman, lend-lease expediter. A similar British mission is under Lord Beaverbrook, minister of supply. .

Making Final Surveys

Informed sources said the military high commands of both the United States and Britain are making a last-hour survey of the amount of aid that can be spared from existing armaments and future production schedules. In this country, such material will be referred to President Roosevelt who will instruct Mr. Harriman to speed it to Russia. A similar procedure is being developed in Britain,

NAZIS EXECUTE 3 FORGA

Paris Brings Heavy Reprisal Action.

VICHY, Sept. 6 (U.P.) —A German firing squad executed three French hostages in Paris today in reprisal for, the wounding of a German TOR Sonjussicheq officer on a Paris street Wednesday. A proclamation issued by the. German military command in Paris read: “On Aug. 22, following the assassination of a member of the German Army, I warned that hostages would be shot if there any new attacks. Despite the warning, a member of the German Army again was attacked Sept.®3. An inquiry shows that the attacker could only have been a French Communist. In reprisal for the cowardly action, three French hostages were shot Sept. 6. : (Signed) - “Schaumburg.” The ' three victims presumably were chosen from the thousands of Jews, suspected Communists, saboteurs and agitators arrested in recent weeks in the Paris area. The Germans had announced -that prisoners would be shot in numbers

it was said. The tentative plan is for the American mission to leave sometime next week, if technical work is completed. The group probably will meet with Lord Beaverbrook’s mission in London before going on to Moscow. One authority said both nations must be prepared to make sacrifices “even cutting to the bone"— if effective aid is to be extended. He said - Americans cannot “carry all of the load” and that the British will be expected to make comparable sacrifices.

Britain Urges Big-Scale

War Aid for Russia

LONDON, Sept. 5 (U. P.) —Great Britain was said today to be striving to convince America that the democracies must offer definite, bigscale war aid to the Red Army at

the impending “showdown” confer- |

ence at Moscow among the three biggest anti-Nazi powers. Britons are pretty well convinced now that the United States is as far away from formal entry into the war as on the day Adolf Hitler invaded Poland, but every day the British are putting fresh effort behind a drive to make Americans aware of what they say is the danger that the democracies will miss their greatest opportunity. The urgent beat of this drive as {llustrated by recent speeches of Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Canadian Premier W. L. Mackenzie King and Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden is not an effort to get the United States in the war, the British say, as much as they would . like to see that happen. The im- . mediate purpose, these quarters in-

sist, is to speed maximum American Bouton

war production. : If maximum production comes too late, . they argue, the democracies will have missed the chance to keep Hitler fighting on two fronts and

unite against him the resources of Li

three great powers.

SUGAR ‘STRIKE’ CHARGED

WASHINGTON, Sépt. 6 (U. P.).—|Omsh

Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D. Wyo.) charged today that Cuban and offshore sugar producers are

“sonducting a strike against Amer-|Ts

_ fcan' consumers” by withholding ' their product from markets to force

corresponding to the gravity of crimes against the Germans. Cabinet members met at Vichy at 11 a. m. (4 a. m. Indianapolis Time) with Marshal Philippe Petain presiding, and examined the whole question of repressing terrorism. Another meeting was held tonight. The Government was debating whether to amend the decree setting up special terrorists courts, Coincident with tonight's cabinet meeting a group of former French| Communist senators and deputies addressed an open letter to Communist workers urging them to abandon Moscow and rally to Franco-German collaboration in behalf of “a unified and pacified Europe.” ~The: list of those signing the appeal was headed by Marcel Gitton, former Communist deputy who was shot and killed in Paris yesterday.

indiscretion, Less fortunate Nazis were: shot in this period for scarcely more. hy

® 8 8 THIS MINOR PURGE was carried through by Rudolph Hess in his role as Deputy Fuehrer. ‘Though the individuals purged were small fry and not important

-in themselves,’ each of them be-

longed to the gang of some important Nazi. .In arresting or shooting these men Hess touched loyal henchmen of Goering, Ribbentrop, Himmler and other “big shot” Nazis. My information from Germany indicates that Hess feared for his own life because of his part in this purge. - My sources believe that Hess fled only to save his own life and that any peace plan he may have carried he took on his own in an effort to ingratiate himself in England, where he mistakenly thought there were still individuals who believed in appeasement. The Duke of Hamilton, poor man, had never had any conversations whatever with Hess and he is anything -but an appeaser. Simultaneously with this disciplinary purge the Nazis tightened their organizations in every key city. In Berlin, for instance, all the tenants were suddenly routed out of large apartment houses scattered throughout the city. Gestapo and S. S. agents moved in and began a careful twice-daily check on every household within the area. Similarly, the Germans began to build new and deep concrete air-raid shelters all over the country for raids through the coming winter. :

” » ” THESE MEASURES indicate to students of Germany not that morale is getting worse but that the German government is preparing to make it better. Few observers who know Germany intimately expect for one moment ‘that German morale will collapse. There is no enthusiasm for the war. There never has been. Germans aren't like that. - But Germans don’t collapse—on their record in the past, certainly—until they are beaten in the fleld, The Germans must be thought of as standing huddled together. Somebody must stampede them before they run. They were never stampeded in the last war until .the Kaiser fled. He fled only when his generals told him that they faced superior military forces in the field and I believe that Hitler will never start the stampede of the Nazis until the generals tell him again that they are being beaten. They are not being beaten while

- America is non-belligerent and

every German knows that, They are winning now and about no one throws in the sponge until he is beaten. The Germans will attempt a peace offensive once they stabilize ‘the Russian front and push through to Baku oil. Everyone knows that. But the peace offensive will have nothing to do with peace. It will be designed to lull America into a false sense of security until can organize revolution iA America.

Afraid Only of U. S, War—

HITLER HAS ORDERED his fifth columnist agents in America, according to German agents in Spain and Portugal, to start a monster campaign to pérsuade America to force Britain to make peace. Hitler is only afraid of America if the country goes to “war. Totalitarian countries are organized on. a permanent war footing, their industries and their manpower continually mobilized. It is only when a democracy has gone to war that it can approach the discipline and military effectiveness of a totalitarian state. This correspondent showed in the period before and after Munich that Germany was arming at twice the rate of Britain and France combined. My showed that time was on Hitler’s side because the democracies, under peacetime condtions, were only doing a half-hearted job of trying to catch up. : In actual fact Britain and France did a half-hearted job industrially through the first year of the war. :

realize that the United States is in the immediate post-Munich atmosphere as yet.

2 2 8 TO UNDERSTAND Hitler's confidence as long as America does not declare war it is well to analyze Hitler's rearmament; against what he has gained from the conquest of Europe. Under the pen name of Thomas Reveille, one of the best financial analysts in the world, has made a careful study of this in “The Spoil of Europe.” This expert recapitulates the tribute Hitler has drawn from France and other countries in the form of “‘occupation costs.”

property, imposition of fines, realization of ancient loans and investments and reimbursements of reparations payments. . “If to these proceeds are added,” he writes, “the value of military and civilian property taken by virtue of armistice agreements and the value of gold and foreign assets taken over in exchange for Reichsmarks balances, it probably would not be incorrect to surmise that Nazi Germany's aggregate collections add up to at least 90 billion marks, or 36 billion dollars.”

Germany Out of the Red—

The full meaning of this much loot is not immediately appreciated. This is the figure mentioned

by Hitler in September, 1939, as the sum of expenditures on German armaments since he came to power in 1933. In short, Germany has built the greatest military machine in history, conquered virtually the whole of Europe, sunk half the world’s shipping and made a bid for the conquest of Russia’s resources and made it pay. Germany is out of the red as Hitler prepares to take on America. Hitler has proved once more. what historians have often pointed out in the past: Prussia is the only country in the world which knows how to make war pay. The ultimate victory—meaning whether Americans remain a free people under a free democracy or become a serf nation under the “master race”—will be decided in the contest between the morale of the two peoples. Italians, Frenchmen, Spaniards and Portugese have been telling me in recent months that the Nazi agents are confident. These Nazis say that the American people will not develop the spirit of sacrifice and the Government will not adopt that sense of responsibility upon which sound morale must be based. The German-filled lobbies of the Lisbon hotels rocked with laughter when Senator Wheeler disclosed to the whole world that American troops were being sent to Iceland. I'm glad I was no longer there to be sneered at openly by the Germans when the Congress of the United States played party politics with the extension of the draft term. The

tions would draw millions of low income families into the Federal tax structure for the first time and would boost the tax bills of all those who already pay. The provision’s yield was estimated at $303,000,000 annually, Chairman Robert LL. Doughton (D, N. C) of the Ways and Means Committee, was not-in town, but Rep. Roy O. Woodruff (R. Mich.), a high-ranking committeeman, predicted the House conferees would fight the reduction. “I am opposed to the lower exemptions because right now the poor man pays at least 27 cents in concealed taxes on every $1 purchase,” Mr. Woodruff said. “When he already pays a 27 per cent tax I don’t see how, with a good conscience, we can force a man earning less than $800 a year to pay more.” Difference in Surtax Rate There is a slight difference between House and Senate surtax rates on individual incomes, but it amounts to only a fraction of 1 per cent and no trouble is expected in compromising it. House conferees are expected to approve the Senate amendment permitting taxpayers with incomes of less than $3000 to figure their taxes from a simple, standardized chart prepared by the Treasury. Corporation taxes are virtually identical in the two bills, the Senate adding a fraction of a percentage point to the rates for small cor-

porations, The Senate increased|®

corporation surtaxes, by 1 per cent, however, . Both houses are in agreement on excess profits taxes, except that the Senate eliminated a special 10 per cent excess profits tax on corporations with increased earnings which could escape the levies under either the invested capital or average earnings systems of computation.

Excise Taxes Vary

There are numerous differences in excise taxes... The House voted a § per cent levy on monthly telephone bills and the Senate increased it to 10 per cent. But some items like: continuation of the 1% cent per gallon Federal gasoline tax without change, doubling the present automobile excise tax to 7 per cent, and the $5 a year “use” tax on automobiles are riveted into the bill - because both Houses approved identical language. The Senate eliminated a House provision to tax radio time sales and billboards. The 8enate added an economy amendment authorizing creation of a joint executive-legislative committee to investigate Federal expenditures and recommend reductions. Mandatory joint husbhand-and-wife returns and a new form of taxing eommunity property income were issues outside the pale of the conferences because such amend-
