WASHINGTON-Shortly after the war broie
out, British shipping suffered terrific casualties
from Nazi submarines. Ships were sunk with
sickening rapidity. But today the submarine
menace in British waters is licked. Not a sub
dares stick its nose anywhere near British shores.
The British also have developed a bureau of
submarine warfare which is one of the most
efficient branches of the war, effort. It has used
hundreds of small civilian yachts, fishing boats,
airplanes-every possible weapon working a-
gainst the U-Boat.
In view of British success, many people have
been critical of the U. S. Navy for not being more,
effective against the submarine.
Doubtless some of that criticism is justified.
On the other hand, the U. S. Navy faces a far
tougher problem than the British. In the first
place, the British Isles are small. The area in-
volved is not much greater than the waters im-
mediately adjacent to New England and the
Middle Atlantic states. In contrast, our sub-
marine combat zone extends all the way to
northern South America, including the islands of
the Gulf and the Caribbean.
It has been urged that these small civilian
boats might patrol the Atlantic Coast, looking
for submarines. However, it is almost impossible
to sight a submarine any more because they
don't keep their periscopes up.
The modern Nazi submarine is far different
from the lumbering U-boat of the Kaiser's day.
Almost never does its periscope appear above
water, not because it is easily seen--it isn't-but
because it causes a wake which can be seen.
Therefore a good submarine commander can
lift his periscope for only six seconds and in that
brief moment, take aim. Or in many cases he can
fire without raising his periscope at all. His own
listening devices tell him accurately where the
target is.
Elimination of storagf batteries also permits
a sub to dive at a much steeper angle. For in the
old days the water in the batteries tilted and ex-
posed the plates if the ship dived too sharply.
Storage batteries have been eliminated as the
result of a new Nazi invention which takes care
of the exhaust under water. In the old type of
submarine, storage batteries were used for un-
der-water propulsion because the engine exhaust
would foul the air.
There is one other argument for the use of
small civilian vessels for patrol work, namely,
that they could use sonic or listening devices.
However, the Navy does not have enough of these
instruments to spare. Those that it has are need-
ed in destroyers or for regular escort vessels.

Chamber Of Commerce
Complains About Taxes ...
THE U. S. CHAMBER of Commerce is
at the wailing wall again.
It has been pleading with the Senate Finance
Committee to modify drastically the plan for
normal and excess-profits taxes on corporations
and also the proposed income tax rates with
graduated increases in proportion to ability to
pay.
The Chamber requested a series of exemptions
from the excess-profits tax that would detract
drastically from revenues. It asked also that 35
per cent of the increases in the income tax scale
be eliminated.
To make up for, the deficit which would be
caused by such alterations in thewproposed taxes.
the Chamber of Commerce representative, Ells-
worth C. Alvord, proposed a general sales tax
of 10 per cent and a 3 percent withholding tax
on all wages, interest and dividends.
CLEARLY THESE SUBSTITUTE proposals
would have the effect of dealing a sharp blow
at the poor while takirg away a large share of
the restrictions on big business' profits.
But these proposals' gloomy implica-
tiens for the poor was a subject judi-
clously avoided by the Chamber's repre-
sentatives. Instead, they listed a number of
reasons why the incomes of the wealthy
shuld be treated with kid gloves. These
reasons Included the financial needs of the
wealthy for living expenses, payment of
debts, education of their children and do-
nations to charity.
A more ridiculous argument would be hard
to 1iigine. So our big-business men are at
the doorstep of the poor-house and are cer-
tain to be pushed right through the door if.
the proposed excess-profits and graduated
income tax are passed? This is really very
interesting, gentlemen of the Chamber of
Commerce.
AND WHAT ABOUT that general-sales tax and
withholding tax which the Chamber is so
blandly trying to pass off on the Finance Com-
mittee? The poor are always the hardest-hit by
such sales taxes as that proposed by the Cham-
ber, since so large a portion of their earnings is
taken away in their purchase of the necessities
of life. And the proposed withholding tax on
wages would carry no personal exemptions to
cover the necessary living expenses of the poor.
It cannot be denied. then, that both of the
Chamber's substitute proposals would have by
far their greatest effect on the people who can
least afford a further strain on their pocket-
books.
Hasn't enough been done by too many
people already in the way f taking advan-
tago of the war effort without the Chamber
making such clearly unjustified requests as
these? We fervently hope the Senate Fin-
ance Committee doesn't tread the road of
seme of its fellow Congressional commit-
tees which have bowed obsequiously to the
sceptre of pressure.
It would be well for all critics of labor's tactics
in the war effert to examine these pleas of the
Chamber of Commerce and then to look at the
complete record of both business and labor since
the start of the war. Such a perusal would prove
highly revealing and should lead to some inter-
esting conclusions.

Cooperation between the Teaching
Profession and Lay Groups, by J. B.
Edmonson, Dean of the School of
Send Food To Europe
To the Editor:
T IS ENCOURAGING to believe that
Mr. Raymond's recent letter is typi-
cal of the attitude of most Americans toward
the problem of sending food to Europe. Encour-
aging because he so heartily endorses the ob-
jective; because he recognizes that talk about
Four Freedoms must sound insulting when it
comes from great powers who are inflicting star-
valtion by means of a naval blockade. Encourag-
ing because Mr. Raymond is in doubt only about
the channels of distribution which will guaran-
tee that such food will not get into Nazi hands.
Let us be clear about the facts.
(1) The present Allied blockade of Europe does
not permit the importation of food, and there-
fore the United Nations are held responsible by
Europeans for blockading their continent and
for their unhappy plight. The relevance for
"new order" propaganda is obvious!
(2) In the last war, Herbert Hoover's Com-
mission for Relief in Belgium distributed 5,000,-
000 tons of food worth $815,060,000 to the pros-
trate Belgians. The objection that this food
would get into German hands was also raised
then, but at the end of the war Germans were at
the point of starvation and Belgians were on the
whole well-fed. After the war, the British and
French governments were loud in their praise for
this work!
(3) On August 11, 1941, Mr. Hoover appealed
for the right again to distribute food. Since then,
the need has become infinitely more acute and
how such a plan would fit into this total war of
ideas has been clarified. His plan was again to
exact agreements from the British to allow food
ships to dock, from the Germans not to take any
food from the occupied countries, from both gov-
ernments to allow his own staff to handle all
feed and operate the soup kitchens.
AS MR. RAYMOND POINTS OUT, it would be
silly to send food to Europe and not to insist
that one's own representatives distribute it. Both
the International Red Cross and the Quakers
have enviable records of distributing food under
children's lives are at stake, it is dangerous
merely to assume they would act in bad faith
without trying to find out!
Please note the all-important significance
of this plan: now starving people are bitter
against the Anglo-American blockade. If
it is partially lifted as herein proposed, and
even if the Axis refused to respect their part
of the agreement, the bitterness would be
transferred to them; grateful respect would
be felt toward the United Nations for a sin-
cere effort to help!
A food blockade hits the weakest and most
innocent of the population and leads to
warped and hateful personalities. That it is
an outmoded "sitzkrieg" weapon for our side
is indicated by Germany's full cooperation
with the blockade to keep those who dared
opposed Hitler starving!
ANO4HER ASPECT of the proposal deserves
mention. The New Statesman and Nation re-
cently commented on the possibility of anti-
Nazi Germans revolting against Hitler: "They
will not revolt so long as they believe it is the
purpose of the United Nations to make life for
them and their children unendurable to self-
respecting men." World powers with unsavory
imperalist records must also prove to those who
will attempt to rebuild Germany someday that
they have turned over a new leaf and are now
fighting for free men everywhere.
Therefore, since an utterly fantastic war of
ideas has engulfed humanity, and since fantastic
war aims have been proclaimed by American
leaders, it is more than criminal-it is not ex-
pedint-for a world-liberating coalition of pow-
ers to assign death by starvation to millions of
people in the mistaken belief that they will
someday rise to meet "second front" invaders
(who *ill be despoiling their homes, let us re-
member) with open arms!
For the electrifying effect upon downtrodden
Europeans, upon anti-Nazi Germans, upon the
United Nations themselves, and upon our still-
mistrustful allies (China-why not send food
there?-Russia, India) we must adopt this
I
