President Suggests Lower
Income Tax Exemptions
The President's statement that
.broadening of the tax base (low-
ering of exemptions so Eore people
will pay an income tax) will add
to the responsibilities of citizen-
ship, is correct.
The next thing is to have con-
gress do that little thing. Con-
gressmen well know of the terriiic
outcry that will be heard when the
taxes of the ordinary citizen are
increased. It is fairly easy to in-
crease the taxes on rich people,
which are at a maximum now, be-
cause their votes are in a minority.
No one move would bring the in-
creasing cost of government home
to the average citizen quite as
quickly as to increase his taxes. It
probably would be a very good
thing in the end.
Japan Loses Good Will
In The United States
The Japanese have been very
clever in evaluing just how far they
could go in China without arous-
ing the American people. :Some of
the more shrewd Japanese poli-
ticians and business men are more
concerned a.bout that than the
radical army and navy leaders who
seem to be running things now.
A recent Gallup poll, which re-
veals how the average American
feels towards Japan, should not
bring any feeling of satis,faction to
the Japanese as the one thing they
fear is a boycott by this country
which ships them war materials
and is the largest buyer of their
silk.
The summarized results of the
poU as compared to one Eade in
September 1937 follow:
"In the present fight between
Japan and China, are your sym-
pathies with either side?"
Sept.1937 Today
Japan ........................ 2 % 2 %
China ...................... 47 74
Neither .................... 51 24
Whereas two years ago a ,boycott
of Japanese goods was opposed by
the majority, today more than six
voters in 10 say they would join a
movement to stop .buying goods
made in Japan.
"Would you join a movement in
this country to stop buying goods
made In Japan?"
Yes No
October, 1937 ................ 37% 63%
Today ............................ 66 34
Public sympathy for China
shows itself as a majority favor an
eEl)argo on war shipments to .Ja-
pan while they favor shipping war
materials to China.
"'Do you think the United States
should forbid shipments of "~rms
or ammunition free this country
to Japan?"
Yes ............................................ 72%
No .............................................. 28
"Do you think the United States
should forbid shipment of arms or
amEunition fronl this country to
China?"
Yes ............................................ 40%
No .............................................. 6(1
