is unreservedly in favor Of a- nat war
profits tax Of so per cent
'@The adoption Of an 80 per cent war
profits tax should render unnecessary.
and believe undesirable. any increase
in the existing excess profits tax rate"
he declared.
Views Of Secretary McAdoo.
In presenting his views on tax
retary McAdoo has addressed the fol-
lowing telegram to Claude Kitchin.
chairman of the ways and means COM
nittee Of the House of Representa-
tives: -
Roper has advised me Of his talk
with you Wednesday last. I greatly
appreciate assurance you gave him Of
your desire to meet as far as possible
be sorry to have progress on the rev.
enue bill delayed for conference con-
cerning war profits tax, as under
stand you suggest.
"This is a matter which has engaged
my earnest thought. and in order that
you may know my views without de-
lay. 1 take the liberty NJ telegraphing
to confirm and reindorse the program
outlined in my letter to you Of June
and to express the conviction that that
program is sound and reasonable.
earnestly hope that 1t may commend
itself to you and the committee.
Il regard the war profits tax as an
integral and indispensable part of that
program. AS a result of ~ further
consideration of the subject which has
been given since I wrote you. I am
confirmed in my opinion that fat war
profits tax of so per cent should be
imposed. OF course. ample safeguards
should be provided against hardships
in extraordinary cases In the applica-
tion Of such a rate.
Evening star., 1918-08-08
Way to Reach Profiteering.

The adoption of an so per cant war
profits tax should render unnecessary,
and believe undesirable. any increase
in the existing excess profits tax rate.
1t is my strong conviction that the
taxation of genuine war profits Is the
only way to reach real war profiteer-
ing and that 1t is. at the same time, q
thoroughly justifiable measure upon
economic grounds as well as a certain
and indispensable producer of a large
part of the required revenue.
The patriotic producers of America
should be content If ne-fifth Of their
war profits are secured to them, espe-
cially when we reflect that the men
who are fighting and dying in France
to save the liberties OF those who stay
at home and to make 1t possible for
them to continue in business are linn
tied by act of Congress to 1895 per
year for their services and have to
give their blood in the bargain.
should we be more partial and ten
der to those who are protected in safe
ty at home than we are to those who
make the supreme sacrifices for US on
the field Of battle?
Il sincerely trust also that amend
ments which experience>has shown to
be desirable II not essential to the
provisions affecting the determination
Of excess profits taxes may be adopt
ed"
