The na tional state is comparatively new to human history; but the brake gras back to the cave. A father, smother and then chUdren-that a home.

Scholarly man. esthetic bn his tastes, imaginative and idealistic, would take the law into ids own hands. Yet, I could understand him When he said that nefcody was go ing to break up his home. Os course, now it is broken and per haps irrevocably, but there is an unwritten law among men that they wH fight for their honor and dignity and for their sense of de cency. Majrbe the duel was not as fantastic an Institution as we in this age suppose. There are things that try men’s souhi—lf they still have souls. It Would seem to me wrong to try eases in newspapers; the court 1 4 the place for evidence, and law yers, not journalists, should do the pleading. Yet, were it not for the masterly “J’Accuse!” of Emile Zola and the journalism of Clemenokau, Alfred Dreyfus would have hm gutohefl unjustly on Devil's Ismnd to his death. The courts deal with the law; the press. With justice. This ease, as matter hew it may be handled by lawyers, will, In the public mind, become a dramatic discussion of the home. Ample Space is given constantly to biolog ical love, as though it were the noblest of human activities and virtues. “Love,” sa it is called, has become the excuse, the alibi, far evwy anti-social habit. All that needs to be said is that “he loves her”—as though that explained ■P But strong nations use other terms—father, mother, son, daugh ter, home, virtue, piety, the moral ttw.

Secretary at the Treasury John Shyder, so far has managed to duck any large volume of criticism. Hi# cabinet colleague, Attorney General McGrath, has been the tar get tot far more criticism—though tew tax finagling has occurred in his Justice Department. ,In contrast, John Synder is much to the 'tax picture, much closer to President Truman,’ and has held office much logger. How ever, he has traveled on hto offic ial routing- blissfully ignorant—or etoe indifferent—to the fact that more crookedness was occurring in hto department than at any time since the day* of President tj. S. Grant—perhaps more than at any time in history. Personally Mr. Snyder is an en tirely honest man. The idea that dishonesty would occur near him has apd does shock him. Yet he does not seem to realise that part ot hwaestp- to not complacence but. vigilance. - Secretary Snyder has been ten acious about the necessity of pay ing higher taxes in order to pay for our huge arms program. But he has not realtoed how he has knocked the slats out of hto own tax pro gram by falling to collect taxes on an honest basis. For, When people see tax-finagling at the top. tax finagUng to certain to spread at the bottom. GRAVE EMBARRASSMENT Mr. Snyder’s failure may be due in part to a personal weakness, which according to some people, isn’t kosher to mention. However, when a railroad engineer drinks oh the Job he to fired, when s motor ist drinks while driving he to Jap ed—especially if there has been a smash-up. Therefore when one of the 10 top members of government charged with collecting the na tion’s taxes with honesty rod du ality, drinks on the jab, the pub lic to entitled to knew a. Far -with Snyder at the wheel then has been a disastrous smash up in our tax-collecting system. Unfortunately, Secretary Synder’s periodic drinking not only has caused moments of embarrassment before the Governors of the World Bank and at the French Embawy, but sometimes '.has cause him - to remata in bad away from hto work for periods of time. It happens that collecting taxes to a tough, day-arid-night job, re quiring vigilance and great strength of character almost 24. hours a day. — ‘— ” SR®- ;>,• . ... .4 ~ V,- -tj! ml -m rhrmppk* .

And Secretary Snyder, with all hto personal hon esty and all hto good intentions regarding higher taxes, simply has not been alert. In ’fact, he has been a dismal failure. ENCOURAGING COMMUNISM ' Both In St. Louis where he was a bank cashier, and in Washington, Secretary Snyder Has been a- polit ical conservative. He would be hor rified at the .idea that he had done anything to encourage communism. Yet history will probably show that, more than any other cabinet officer, he has helped plant what could become a baste cause for communism. For Snyder’s unfair, ’ unequal tfcx-collecting system to wiping lout the middle-class of Am ericans, the normal bulwark against communism. What Secretary Snyder may not realize is that, in Europe, the coun tries with the hnequal tax systems are those showing the greatest leaning toward communism. Outside of Russia, the two .countries with the greatest communist populations —about one-third each—arc France and Italy. And hr both countries the tax systems are notoriously un fair. unequal and dishonest. 4lh both countries, the wealthy Vpy few taxes, the working class bear the chief burden. What Secretary Snyder also may net realise to- the effect on the American workingman and the white-collar worker who read about graft in our tax-poUeeting system today. He sees bis own income taxes taken out in withholding taxes, giv ing him no opportunity to chest the government even, if he wanted to. In contrast he reads in the newspaper that millions of dollars in tax money are not being paid by those who can.afford to hire ex pensive lawyers and take key of ficials on Junkets in private sir planes. This is what has encouraged communism in Europe, and, come a depression, it wiH encourage com munism here. SERENE MR.
