S. Amb: dor James Dunn siding with Italian government against his low American. It is one of most significant backstage dis sions anywhere in Europe tod: Few Income Taxes What most Americans don't real- ize is that few European countries except England and the Sce navian countries ever impose any thing approaching our income tax on their people, Since the war most European countries simply have been balancing their budgets with Marshall Plan funds and other forms of American aid. This chiefly benefits the aristocracy of Italy and 500 families of France who for years have paid almost no taxes. Italian taxes, for instance, are geared to hit the small farmer and the worker—not the big landowner or the big industrialist. When the Ttalian farmer transports eggs into the Rome market, he’s stopped on the outskirts of the city and forced to pay a tax of about 20 per cent on his produce. When he carries his wine or his olive oil or any thing else into the city or acro: the country line he pays a tax On bread, for instance, eight dif- ferent must be paid. The farme: at on his wheat seed, and another tax on his land when the wheat is planted. Then he pays a harvest tax plus another 3 per cent tax when the wheat is sold to the government. Another 3 per cent tax pe en the government sells the wheat to the wholesaler, then, plus those, there is an additional 3 per cent tax when it is sold to the baker. there is a millers’ tax and a re- tailers’ tax, making a total of eight different taxes on one loaf of bread. All these tax hit the farmer, 1xes is the workingman and the housewife | by hoosting their cost of living and, also, of course, this tax system plays right into the hands of the Communists. Meanwhile, there is no tax caviar and the Roman aristocr and the Milan factory owners la at the idea of paying any income tax. They not only do not declare on their incomes but no one in the higher bracket ever goes to jail! for tax evasion. In high society here it just isn't done. Rich Milk Marshall Aid This same society of duchesses and countesses which so long basked in the favor of the can Embassy proceeded to welcome Marshall Plan aid as manna from heaven and to milk it for their own special benefit. The milking was both pleasant and profitable But scon American officials and the Italian people woke up and found that Marshall money was being spent to build bathrooms for sena- tors, to rebuild the Fascist head- quarters ai the Palazao Braschi and to subsidize the swankiest Finally | new | €OM- | assigned to Gener jarity with U.

The latter piece of baksheesh was maneuvred by one of Rome’s social ladies for the avowed purpose of helping struggling American tourists in Italy. However, when the velvet curtains were pulled aside on open- ing night a rendezvous calculated to impress Anthony and Cleopatra was, revealed, and any Iowa school- teacher who might have sought toul information here could never have got in without credentials from the social register. | While all this was going on, Dave Zellerbach, well-meaning, somewhat | naive head of ECA made a speech in Naples informing the Italian people that the ECA planned to advance no money for land reforms. This speech made the most wonder- ful propaganda for Moscow—for there is nothing that Italy needs more than an equitable system re- distributing its population on the vast and unused land of the Italian| nobility. All this, much about vitally continued to be duck-soup material for the Communists to exploit. This plus ECA’s failure to do also was the subject of a vigorous | controversy between ECA Admini- strator Dayton and Ambassador Jimmy Dunn.

Dayton wrote an apolo He an apology on the fi P as was Mussolini wrote st page he wrote a reaffirmation of | his contention that Italy must put {its own house in order, must do something about housing and other social reforms. Furthermore, Day- ton kept on making speeches. Meanwhile, the incident leaked to the press i thousands of letters all supporting Dayton—began to pour into ECA headquarters. About | this time it was said that if Daj ton, Premier De Gasperi and Com- munist leader Togliatti all ran for l]unun from Northern Ita ton would be elected to the Ilull.m‘ Parliament.

What is happening now is that the American taxpayer steps up with his tax dollar four times yearly and pays through the nose while the big bracket Europeans laugh at us. The little taxpayer in Europe is out the only man who has to pay and he pays through various sales taxes. However, the above controversies had important aftermaths. Housing and land reform are now being undertaken jointly by the ECA and the Italian government on a limited scale. Italy has also just adopted » new tax bill which, for the first time in hundreds of years, m approximates our income tax system. The new tax bill has a long way to go before it is anywhere near as tough as ours. It provides | & | no pe ties and no effective means THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE ° ° March 16 3 ° . ® Mrs. M. E.
