HUGE WAR PROFITS
AMAZE SENATORS
Heavier Taxation of Big Busi-
ness Probable Result of
Trade Commission Report.
.FUTlLlTY OF PRICE FIXING

Amazement and indignation at the
tremendous profits shown in the re-
port to the Senate by tho Federal
Trade Commission on big business
and determination to put an end to
such war profits, were expressed at the
Capitol today.
Handling Without Gloves Favored.
Two methods Of dealing with the
situation were advocated. The hrs'
was greatly to increase the excess
war profits taxes in the new revenue
law. The second was to enter further
upon a price-fixing program.
Some senators declared their sur
prise that such large profits had been
made in the things which the govern
nfent has attempted to fix prices on
through the powers granted in the
food control bill and its licensing
clause.
Prediction was made that in draft
ing the new revenue bill the prohteers
would be handled without gloves
Senators who stood out for large tax
upon excess profits in the existing
law said today they would renew the
fight and they believed that would be
entirely successful.
On the other hand some OF the
LEGISLATORS insisted the report OF the
trade commission was sensational
intended to be sensational and made
by a sensational organization. They
said they wanted to hear more aoou'
the matter before passing upon 1t.
Views of Senator Borah.
Senator Borah of Idaho. whose res
olution brought the report OF the
trade commission, said TO-DAY: ,.
'The report is very interesting. 1t
deserves consideration from every
point Of view. First Of all. we should
Of course listen to what the compa- l.
nies mentioned in the report nave to
say. We should certainly hear ooth
sides. But after both sides have been
congress will likely have sufhcient
grounds for legislation. The most ef-
fective way to deal with such situ-
alton Is through taxation.
"If these companies are making any
thing like the profits indicated. they
should be called upon to turn them
into the Treasury of the United
States No business institution should
desire more than a modest profit In
these times, and IL the government
does its duty toward the people no
business institution will pc permitted
to enjoy more than a modest prof1t.
Last year small group of sena-
tors endeavored to place our revenue
take so per cent of all war profits in
the way of taxation. That fight will
be made again this year and. we be-
lieve, successfully this time. We were
charged at that time with seeking to
break down our industries and to en-
barrass the prosecution of the war,
but such charges will not avail at
this time"

Advises Taxation Methods.

Senator McCumber Of North Dakota,
a member of the finance committee
said:
This situation ought to be handled
through taxation. Price fixing is not
successful unless enforced. Under the
existing law the administration has
had the power to fix prices. but in the
very things where price-fxing has
been attempted these huge profits are
shown. I cannot speak for the COM
mittee, but feel there will be a
strong inclination to increase war and
