creed that they should spend year In

INQUIRY PERTURBS
MUNITIONS MAKERS
Figures to Be Gathered and
Whispers Are Heard That
Tax May Follow.

Munitions manufacturers are much
rerturbcd over the announcement that
leaked from the Treasury Department
few days ago to the effect that Sec
rotary McAdoo had instructed collec-
tors OF internal revenue to obtain fig
ures on the munitions manufacturing
industry In this country.
treasury Department officials are be-
ing besieged with inquiries regarding
the proposed inquiry. but make the un.
varying statement that there is nothing
further to be said on the subject. The
Secretary's office will give no further
details of the inquiry or its purpose,
other than to state the Secretary's be-
Lief that this information should be
available.
No statement will be made by the
Secretary or other officials with re-
spect to the use to which the infor-
nation is to be put. 1t is said that
tho Secretary frequently has calls from
Congress for informal tion and that he
wishes to be forehanded.
Whether the information is TO be
used as the basis of new tax pro-
posal. officials refuse to state.
Hut two reasons for the inquiry are
put forward as probable. one Is that
tho information might he used. or kept
available as part of the prepared.
ness program, SO that the Government
might know the extent Of private aid
that might be expected in case of war
and the other. and the one that is
bothering some of the munitions man
ufacturers of the country. and is bo-
lieved by them to be the more signiii-
cant, Ii that some form Of special tax
is contemplated. There is Il constitu-
tional prohibition against an export tax
In the United States, but this obstacle
to such q tax proposal can easily be
avoided by an excise. instead OF an
export tax.
H intmated at the departmeni,t,
merely be called on for a declaration
OF tho amount OF munitions turned out:
and the figures on this business. lf
the request does not bring results. 1t is
asserted that the books and accounts
could be made available in a tax in
Quiry.
