PAN-AMERICAN RELATIONS in the Good Neighbor Of prime importance policy is the development of a plan by which thou- sands of our teachers will visit Latin America each year and study the people, the customs, the manner of living of our neighbors. What they learn will be moulded into the lives of our boys and girls every- where and in a few years our people will have an intelligent outlook concerning inter-American . rela- tions. England, Prance, Germany learned that long ago. They actually established schools all over Latin America, staffed by their own nationals, who became expert advisers to their respective governments. i influences today. 20 YEARS AGO 3 EMPIRE e FEBRUARY 27, 1922 Woman'’s suffrage was declared constitutional, according to a de- cision made by the Supreme Court of the Uni States on this day.

Abbey authorities had found themselves in the curious position of having no precedent for the ceremohy as the last marriage of a child of a reigning monarch to be held in the Abbey, that of Edmund Crotichback, second son of Henry the Third, to Aveline of Lancaster; had taken place 653 years previously. 4 HOROSCOPE “The stars incline but do not compel” [ER=ESNwSESS .

But no existing tax should be increased, and no new tax should be imposed, without the most careful analysis of its justice, and its effect upon the producers and workers of the country. At this time there is considerable agitation for heavy in- creases in social security taxes as a means of help- In the opinion of many an economist and public official, that would be extremc proposal to raid social security pay-roll takes for the benefit of the general Treasury is unsound, un- wise and a potential breach of trust. It would be an unethical departure from sound practice. When we leave sound fiscal ground in this emergency, we are off into the ‘no-man’s land of disaster.” The wise course would be the imposition of straight war and defense taxes which involve no subterfuge and no deception. The social security taxes were never designed to produce revenue for all purposes. They are, instead, special taxes, levied against employer and employee, to give a measure of unemployment aid and old-age security to work- | ers. In other words, they are a form of insurance. The American people are fully aware of the need | for higher taxes., But they don’t want camouflaged levies. Congress' duty now is two-fold—first, the maximum possible réduction in non-defense spendi in all fields, no matter whose toes are stepped on secend, a war tax bill which will raise directly and without deception the additional revenue the Treas- ury must have.
