Diplomacy, Defense
and Revenue in View
Congress Meets Tuesday with Momentous Leg
islation at Front-Per STA Looms Large-Some
of the Dominating Features Facing Leaders
for Early Action

Washington. Jan. 2.-Congress re-
convenes Tuesday to begin serious
consideration of momentous legisla
ton confronting it. Before the holi-
day recess little was accomplished be-
You'd organization and extension of
the emergency war revenue law.
During the preliminary two weeks
there were assurances on every hand
that foreign relations incident to the
European war and the subject of pre-
paredness for national defense would
be the dominating features of the
session, fraught with far-reaching
possibilities.

contemplated. Senate committees,
meantime, will study the bills submit
ted and map out programs of proceed
ure.
Revenue Situation
The revenue situation also will COM
mand immediate attention. Represen-
tative Kitchin, majority leader and
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee, plans to call his committee to-
gether without delay to take up this
problem. Senator Simmons. chairman
of the finance committee. also con-
templates frequent meetings of Demo-
cratic members to study fiscal prob
lens. First to be considered will be
amendments to the war revenue law,
which was re-enacted hurriedly just
before recess with the general under
standing that amendments will be pro-
posed to increase its revenues produc-
ing power.
Involved in this are issues likely to
provoke wide divergence of views,
among them the suggestions to tax
gasoline, automobile horsepower. steel
product and other articles of COM
merce, and stamp tax on bank
checks. Amendment of the income tax,
and an inheritance tax also are to be
given serious thought.
Much general legislation is on the
program for consideration as soon as
the preparedness and defense questions
are out of the way. A bill to create a
land loan banking system and anoth-
er to develop mineral resources on
public lands have been virtually COM
pleted by House committees during
the holidays.
