...Unfavorable reaction to the new pact last week came from the Pennsylvania Coal industry whose United Mine Workers and mine operators let out a howl in unison. Both were alarmed because, in carrying out Secretary Hull's policy of building up foreign trade, the agreement was expected to exempt Soviet coal and coke from a special $2-a-ton tax, assessed under the Revenue Act of 1932.

In every State, either constitutionally or by statute, exemption is granted on property used for religious purposes; in many States church property of all kinds is exempt. Among liberals, this exemption, in effect a subsidy, is an abhorrent reminder of oldtime domination of the State by the Church.
