FOR EXPORT DUTIES
ON WAR MUNITIONS
Senator Walsh to Suggest
Plan if ConstitutionaIity
Is Ascertained.
$780, 600, 900 A YEAR
MIGHT BE OBTAINED
Expects Increase in Congressional
Expenditures-Wants Larger
Army and Navy.

An export duty on munitions of war
now being shipped in great quantities
from the United States to nations OF
Europe is a suggestion made by SEN
ator Walsh of Montana today as a
means of raising revenue for the gov
eminent. Senator Walsh said today
that he had not yet convinced himself
that such an export duty would be con-
stitutionai, but that he intended to
study the question. and If he decided
it would be constitutional he would ad-
vocate the enactment of a law by Con-
gress providing for an export tax as
suggested. Senator Walsh is consider
ed one of the ablest constitutional law
yers jim Congress.
A rough estimate is that an export tax
on war munitions of all kinds would bring
In about $3.50, 100000 annually at pres
ent. Should Senator Walsh decide in his
mind that an export tax would be uncon-
stitutional, he may suggest that a tax
be levied upon munitions as they are
manufactured, just as the government i'm
poses a tax upon whisky.
