Dr. Walter G. Muelder, professor of Christian theology and Christian ethics, was misquoted yesterday in the Daily Trojan as
saying:
“A Christian has a choice of obeying God or being patriotic to his country—he cannot sincerely do both.”
What he actually said was: “The Christian is confronted with the moral problem of reconciling his responsibility to God and his responsibility to his country. Many of the most difficult moral dilemmas arise out of atten.pting a reconciliation.”

Morgenthau Predicts Additional Price Controls Along With Rationing of Consumer Goods
WASHINGTON, March 3—(U.P.)—Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., today placed before congress the stiffest tax bill in history—a $7,610,000,000 measure doubling low and middle bracket income taxes, hiking corporation levies and raising imposts on items such as whiskey, cigarettes, and gasoline.
He frankly told the none too receptive house ways and means committee that this total war program, along with credit regulations and price control, would tend to curb inflation but warned that runaway prices can not be avoided unless there is complete and early rationing of all consumers goods. IMPACT WILL BE FELT
“The new taxes will be severe, and their impact will be felt in every American home,” he said. “War is never cheap. But it is a million times cheaper to win than to lose . . . our task is to make the tax program an Instrument of victory.”
He implied that the taxpayers will be required to make even greater financial sacrifices. He said the levies recommended comprise the minimum which should be taken from the public purse at this time but that congress, at an early date, should raise another $2,000,-000,000 by increasing social security taxes.
REACHES BUDGET LIMIT
This amount, plus today’s program, coupled with existing tax statutes, would attain the $27,000,-000,000 revenue goal fixed by President Roosevelt in his January budget message.
Even with the yield anticipated, Morgenthau said, the treasury will : have to borrow $29,800,000,000 this fiscal year to finance the war and normal governmental activities.
He opposed a general sales tax on : the ground that it would fall “dis-
proportionately” on low incomes— a stand taken consistently by the administration.
TAX HITS ALL His program is all-inclusive. It would increase taxes on incomes of $10,000 or less by 50 per cent. The man who drives an automobile would be required to pay more for gasoline; highball prices will go up; chewing gum and candy will cost more; it will cost the worker more for wine and beer; there’ll be an extra charge on telegrams; local telephone bills will be higher and the American public generally will dig deeper or go Without.
These are the sources from which the treasury hopes to raise the additional $7,610,000,000.
INCOME TAXES MOUNT Individual income taxes $3,200,-000,000, a 60 per cent increase over estimated collections for this fiscal year.
Corporation taxes, $3,060,000,000 an increase of 40 per cent.
Estate and gift taxes, $330,000,-000 to be achieved through reductions in exemptions and plugging loopholes in the present law. Excise taxes, $1,340,000,000. Removal of special privileges, including elimination of tax-exempt securities and allowances for depletion granted to owners of mines and oil wells, $680,000,000.
SALARY TAX ASKED From the grand total of $8,610,-000,000, Morgenthau said, must be deducted $1,000,000,000 for interrelated effects of the program.

in Ecuador Port
QUITO, Ecuador, Mar. 3.—(U.R) —A government spokesman tonight confirmed reports that plans were under way for construction of an American sea and air base at Salinas, on the gulf of Guayaquil 800 miles south of the Panama canal and said that for the past six weeks about 2000 “American troops” have been working on fortifications.
The spokesman described the proposed base as “American” but said the plans for it were being supervised by both the United States and Ecuadorian governments.
He described Salinas as a strategic area on the Eanta Elena peninsula of the gulf of Guayaquil and implied that the fortifications would be part of the outer defenses of the Panama canal.
Military experts of both nations are working on the project, he said.

Lectures on War
Professor Presents Political Ideologies in World Conflict
The consideration of the causal factors of war, the tools of modern warfare, and reconstruction ideas will form the three basic points in‘Prof. Carlton C. Rodee’s lecture on ‘Political Ideologies and the War” this afternoon in the art and lecture room of Do-*aeny library at 4:30.
Contributing to the causal factor of war is cultural nationalism as Dr. Rodee will point out. The stress laid on it is illustrated by the tendency to stress ideological differences between peoples, thus engendering hatreds among them.
INCLUDES PEACE PROBLEMS
England’s refusal to accept Russian ideals before the present conflict indicates the strength of an ideology, Dr. Rodee will say.
The consideration of reconstruction ideologies must include the problems that confront peace conferences, such as what would be done concerning the acceptance or disregard of the Russian communistic ideals. Under this head one must include a nation’s outlook internally and internationally, he will explain.
NEW ASPECT TO BE SHOWN
Dr. Rodee will sketch ideologies other than the conception of economic difficulties as the major cause of war in his consideration of the background points that led up to World war I.
In naming the tools of modern warfare Dr. Rodee eliminates the actual mechanical instruments used, and offers ideals that are used as tools.
The lecture is the second in the Wednesday lecture series which this semester centers around the general theme of war.

Battles Raging for Control a Settle Down to Long Struggll German Radio Alleges Caplj
[
by United Press The great struggles for control o western approaches to India appearej have settled down to grim battles of nations leaders admitted the odds we nese on all fronts.	|-
The German radio, qifbting Japanese dispatches, alleged that the Japanese already had captured Soerabaja and, while it appeared this report was premature, allied leaders conceded that the great naval and air base, as well as Batavia, sooner or later would fall into Nipponese hands.
Dutch and British officials said frankly that Java and Burma had become “mere delaying actions” in which the objective of the united nations was to hold out as long as possible and inflict a maximum amount of punishment on the enemy, thus gaining time to organize for an eventual allied counter-offensive.
It was a discouraging outlook high-lighted by these developments during the past 24 hours:
BANDOENG
At Bandoeng, Dutch commanders of the united nations forces — in sole charge following the transfer of Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell to the India-Burma front — said that attacks on the three Japanese armies, driving into Java from beach-heads established Saturday, were continuing and that one of the Nipponese spearheads had been driven back 7*4 miles.
There was no information, however, about the largest of the Nipponese invasion forces landed at Rembang and designed to capture Soberabaja and Semarang and to cut Java in two at its narrowest part. Best guess was that this i army, using the familiar Nipponese (Continued on Page Two)
Apolliad Contributors Reach Record Number
^w y i
Potential student literary and musical genii on the campus responded to the Apolliad with the best representative collection that the creative arts program has received in recent years, according to Mrs. Tacie Hanna Rew, chairman of Apolliad.
“We are delighted with the number and quality of the entries this year,” Mrs. Rew said yesterday. “There were 18 plays, 98 selections of poetry, and a dozen prose entries.
MUSIC SUBMITTED
The faculty committee consisting of Miss Mabel Woodworth, assistant professor of music; Miss Julia Howell, professor of music; and Miss Pauline Alderman, associate professor of music, will have more than a score of musical compositions from which to choose.
Entries have been turned over to the various committees who will judge them upon their literary qualities and their suitability for presentation. Only a limited number of selections may be given at the Apolliad presentation, but all those whose works are outstanding will receive mention on the program.
INVITATIONS ISSUED
All contributing students to the Apolliad will receive invitations to the April presentation. Notable compositions which are not given at the presentation will probably be produced later on in the year, Mrs. Rew declared.
“The faculty committee selecting the plays is having a difficult time, for all of them are excellent and adaptable for performance,” Professor Rew said.
Winners will be announced during March. The reading and selection will take some time, be-
