Uno Delegates Have Sweet Job In States
Children all over the, world, should ask Santa Claus to let them grow up to be UNO delegates. A recent Washington announcement makes that the world’s cushiest job. A foreign delegate to UNO henceforth will live in the best luxury New 'iTork can offer, costing next to nothing. He will pay no income tax and will be able to buy Scotch tax free at 7s 6d a bottle and cigarettes at 6d for 20. When he goes to the theatre," the fights, or a tinema, or when he buys his wife some perfume or a mink coat he will hand over a little white ticket absolving him from purchase or luxury taxes. On the roads he will be able to break all the speed limits and turn his nose up at speed traps, writes C. V. R. Thompson. He can even commit a minor crime without being arrested and he will be about the only foreigner entering America who will not have to swear he is not a Communist.
