France, Italy and Japan also are
building vessels, but unlike this coun-
try, must use ships to build ships

"Thc shipping problem Is not only
a matter of tonnage, but equally
matter OF how fast that tonnage is

used to save shipping for the vital

has instituted national shipping

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The house
ways and means committee today be-

Two brief sessions of the full COM

ed by Secretary McAdoo to approx
mately 81 400, 900, 600 and in general
upward revision of the income tax
increases written into the bill.
Hit Big Ones Hard.
Every rate affecting incomes above
$4,000 IT is understood was tenta-

SO sharp were advances it is said.

attacked by the committee tomorrow
with every indication that the sub

$4,000 and per cent. Many Republi-
can members not on the subcommittee
declare they will never agree to such
large increase.
Reading by Chairman Kitchin of
the subcommittee report today was
the signal for storm of complaints.
Republicans and Democrats alike
complained of not being consulted by
the subcommittee. In an effort to re-

Mr. Kitchin conferred with several
leaders on both sides. Prospects ap-
pearing brighter another meeting was
held.
Treasury Department Kicks.
From the treasury department came
strong protest against eliminating
some 100000 600 from the amount
to be raised. Treasury officials said
1t was probable that nearer $1,000
100000 than $500, 100000 would be
