The maintenance of our forces on the
4 considerable proportion Of those forces
must remain in Europe during the period
of occupation, and those which are
brought home will be transported and
demobilized at heavy expense for months
to come. The interest on our war debt
must OF course. be paid, and provision
made for the retirement of the obliga-
tions OF the Government which repre-
sent it. But these demands will. OF
course, fall much below what a continua-
ton of. military operations would have
entailed and six billions should suffice
to supply sound foundation for the
financial operations OF the year.
l entirely concur with the Secretary
OF the Treasury in recommending that
the two billions needed in addition TO
the four billions provided by existing
law be obtained from the profits which
have accrued and shall accrue from
war contracts and disttnctively war
business, but that these taxes be con-
fined 10 the war profits accruing in 1918,
or in. 1919 from business originating
in war contracts.
I urge your acceptance Of his recon-
mendation that provision be made now
not subsequently, that the taxes TO D.
paid in 1920 should be reduced from s:'
to -four billions. Any arrangements les
definite than these would add elements

It was necessary that the administra-
