There is a "nigger in the wood pile." I can see nothing to it except a scheme to avoid paying the taxes due to the Government of the largest national income our people ever received. $119.000.000.000 of income iri 1942. a tax amounting to over $10.000.000.000. The savings accounts in this country today show deposits of $29.000.000.000. and our people are amply able to pay the $10.000.000.000 of 1942 taxes. Many years ago a man by the name of John Law. a naturalized Frenchman of English birth. originated a famous scheme to pay off the huge national debt of France and at the same time make all the people rich. His plan was similar to the Ruml plan. They are both based on the fallacy that you can beat simple arithmetic. and both operated by simply projecting the payment of taxes into the future.
