NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES Pourth Avenye Bidg., Seattle, Wash. E RECORD l\l’f\‘\E While the Japanese boast a great deal of their plans for the rehabilitation of the Far East, their record in Korea is far from proving their/abilities or their good intentions along this line. For Korea today is further from prosperity than it was when the Japa- nese took it over in 1910, The “advances” the Nip- ponese have brought to the Koreans are a sample of what they can be expected to visit upon other lands they have taken. Agriculture far outweighs industry in Korea, so far as the number of individuals employed is con- cerned. Some 4,500,000 workers till the soil, while cnly 200,000 Koreans are in industry. The gross value of agricultural products in 1938 was less than a yen a day for each workers thus employed. The value of the yen was about 30 cents. On the other hand, the value of the products of industry were more than 16 yen a day per capita. Yet the individual worker in industry received a wage of about a yen a day—not enough to support a family, even at the Korean standard of living. The result has been that the industrial workers are starving, while of the people on the fal s destitute and suffer The Nipponese overlords are charged with foster- ing this condition. If agricultural living standards continue to be wretched, there always will be a vast supply of cheap labor for the industrial concerns which the Japs control. They control the lands as well and extract therefrom rents” high enougn to keep the people in virtual servitude. In fact, the Korean national income shows that each average individual could receive less than $30 a year, as com- pared with from $300 to $600 in a corhparative year in the United States. A great part of the Japanese propaganda cam- paign is based upon promises of prosperity which, their leaders say, Japan can bring to the Far East if she is allowed to have her way; if the Occidental powers are driven out. - Unfortunately, under present conditions, it is impossible to bring the truth about Korea to the other lands which Tokyo now controls. If it were, the slim cooperation which the enemy now is receiving would be reduced to nothing and the possibility of rebellion against the rulers from the land of the rising sun would be enhanced many times over: I\ut Too “Pamle (Cincinnati Enquirer) It appears as if the “painless tax” bill soon would yecome law. Payments, coming directly from wages, vill not be felt as keenly by John Q. Public as they jave been under the direct payment method. Even he pain of filling out income tax blanks will be re- noved, so far as millions of taxpayers are concerned: Ve've béen among those who cried aloud for sim- plication of income tax paymnent machinery. But we're wondering if Congress fsn’t carrying the cam- paign a little too far. One of the greatest curbs to government ex- fravagance is direct taxation. Another has been the filling out of income tax forms. The greatest howl in history went up from all over America early in 1944, The results, in normal times, would have been to bring about important cuts in Federal spending. Even with the war needs, the demands for reduction in useless expenditures have been both widespread and loud But now a great number of our people will not feel, directly, the effects of bhigh. government costs and high Federal expendnures Tnstead of facing the necessity of shelling out tax money each March’ 15, they feel cuts only in pay checks. But these cut$ soon will be taken for granted, and much of the vigilance which direct payments aroused is likely to disappear. In time millions of workers will demand—and perhaps receive—wage increases in sufficient sums to offset theé tax payments. Thus industry will bear the great- | HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUNE 28 Mrs. Laurel McKechnie E. E. Ninnis Fred Sorri, Jr. Pearl Seeds E. L. Laurie R. F.

Earlier they agreed to snub Bolivia, but with more and more signs of Bolivia-Allied cooperation, they failed to see the reason for pro- longing the cold shoulder. Finally, Brazilian Foreign Min- ister Oswlado Aaranha, now fore- most, most forthright Pan-Ameri- can leader, urged Secretary Hull to remoye the ban. When Hull still delayed, Columbia, Brazil and Venezuela notified him that they would recognize Bolivia. This put thé United States on a serious hot spot. Quickly, Hull wired | his ambassadors to delay Brazilian- Colombian-ve:‘ezuelnn recognition, with the promise that they would then all go along together For ten years previously, it was the U.S.A. which took the- Pane American lead.
