12 DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and the Legal Chronicle Invest With Uncle Sam—Buy Bonds! TO OUR READERS! • The demand for the 24-year Hebrew English Calendar, offered in the columns of this publication, continues. In response to this de- mand H. J. Heinz Co. has been induced to print a new supply. As usual, the calendar will be sent ab- solutely free to all who request it. The New Edition of the Heinz Calendar AU dates - 1924 to 1949 This new edition takes the place of the earlier Jewish calendar which went only to 1941. The new calendar goes ahead much farther and goes back to the year 1924. To find Yahrzeit dates, Bar Mitzvahs and other anniversaries is a task of a few moments with this convenient book at hand. Jewish holidays up to the year 1965 are also listed on a special page. To receive a free copy of the new calendar, merely send a post- card or a letter to: H. J. HEINZ CO. - Dept.

"The Member knows," Mac- Millan said, "that this is a very important and difficult question and I am sure that he would not like the Colonial Secretary or myself to take shelter behind the Administration on matters which are the responsibility of the Colonial Secretary." The 1941 Experience "In the 1941 campaigns, be- fore the outbreak of war, as well as in several campaigns since, the 1940 totals generally were exceeded. Here was evi- dence, that despite the knowl- edge that taxes in 1941 income were being increased consider- ably, larger salaries, earnings and profits could provide in- creased funds for philanthropy. There was an unprecedented ex- pansion of economic activity and a marked rise in national income, much more than enough to off- set the effects of higher costs of living and increased taxes. Many contributors entered 1942 with a greater capital reserve on which to draw for 1942 giving than was available a year earlier. "This improved status should help counteract the anticipated reversal of trend in some direc- tions in the year ahead. Many groups of industries reported larger profits for 1941, and prac- tically all of them so reported for the first six months. The New York Times combined index of business activity for the last week of December, 1941, was at 134, the highest peak since 1929. Effects of Taxation "With higher tax rates, the savings of taxes on philanthropiic contributions is increasingly large and such savings will continue to have a bearing on the size of contributions that can be made available. At the rate of taxation increases, the readiness of the government to share with the contributor in helping maintain essential social services also rises. Due to the increased rates, the net cost to the contributor will continue to decline. On the very lowest level of net taxable income, the absorption for 1941 in tax deductions will be 9.6 per cent. "On the $5,000 level, the gov- ernment's share is now 12.6 per cent; on the $10,000 level it is 20.6 per cent; on the $30,000 level 51 per cent; on the $50,- 0001evel, 59 per cent. For all of the added burdens due to in- creased taxes, the government is saying, in effect, that it wishes to encourage philanthropic giving. At a cost to himself of $796, a person with a net taxable in- come of $10,000 can contribute $1,000, while an individual with a $50,000 net taxable income can contribute each $1,000 at a cost of only $410 to himself. For a campaign to raise $10,000 from any number of persons with net incomes of $3,000 each would call for such contributors to give a total of $9,040 of their money to the campaign, while the giver with the $50,000 net taxable income could serve the Strums Tragedy Deplored Members of the House de- plored the Struma tragedy and cheered a suggestion that the Palestine government's policy in such matters be revised; but the Undersecretary countered by pleading ignorance of- the com- plete facts in the case. Miss Eleanor Rathbone, inde- pendent, asked him whether he would make a statement explain- ing the reftlsal of the Palestine authorities to permit the landing of the 750 Jewish refugees who were aboard the Struma when campaign in the same way at a cost of $4,100. Consumer Purchasing "Our entrance Into the war will mean that the normal lux- uries which people have bought with excess income will be un- available, and even when avail- able, it will be considered un- patriotic to acquire them. How- ever sharply increased taxes will affect the situation, they will not be able to take up the slack of enforced curtailment of pur- chases of consumer luxury goods. If the gross income in the middle class and upper in- come brackets continues high, greater sums will therefore re- main available for contributions. Giving Reserve and Potentials "Consideration will have to be given to the contributing poten- tial of men in industries engaged in the manufacture of non-essen- tial products from the stand- point of successful prosecution of the war or in the manufac- ture or distribution of consumer's goods, the volume of which may be limited, but their highly prof- itable experience of 1941 must not be forgotten in judging their financial strength. Owners of manufacturing plants, large and small, who have fitted their pro- gram into the war economy, will continue, in spite of increased taxes and other obligations, to earn substantial profits to an ex- tent campaigns will have a right to look in such directions for in- creased support. Many classes in our Jewish population will be rising with this tide of higher general income for the country at large and their campaign gifts should reflect this improved con- dition."

Will you consider lessening the likelihood of such tragedies by making concessions regarding the admission to Palestine of such immigrants, whose maintenance is guaranteed?" she queried. MacMillan's reply was pre- ceded by a further question from Silverman, who wanted to know the circumstances under which the refugees had been refused admission to Palestine even though the current immigration quota has 3,000 unallotted va- cancies. "How long were the ne- gotiations continued, how many survived and what will be their ultimate fact?" he asked. "The Colonial Secretary is not yet in possession of all the facts of this tragic incident and under the circumstances would ask per- mission to defer his statement," the Parliamentary Secretary said. "But," pursued Miss Rathbone, "in view of the fact that similar tragedies may arise, will you press the Palestine Government to show more mercy in these matters?" Her question was greeted with cheers, which indicated the strong feeling shared by many Members on the matter. Mac- Millan's rejoinder, however, was merely that he would "bear in mind what has been said in re- gard to general policy."
