EXCESS PROFITS TAX

liyered by the Ri. Hon. r. Mckenna,
chairman of the London Joint City and
Midland Bank, Limited. June IA. 1920:

trade of the country is being overbur-
dened by taxation, there is one tax
which instantly springs to the front as

the excess profits tax. The excess prof

me on the subject of the tax, but to the
house of commons, and L believe with
the full concurrence of all my then col
leagues, that the tax should not be con-
tinued in peace. / remember, indeed, 1

ing objections to the tax IL it were made

RARE ART TREASURES HERE
REQUIRE A NEW MUSEUM

anthropology, but the collections have
grown to such proportions in recent
years that separation of the gallery
from the scientific department became
necessary, and DR.. Holmes has been
transferred from the scientific cura-
torship to the art dictatorship. The
care of the art collections had become
a severe drain upon the scientific ap-
preparation and by a recent provision
by Congress funds are made directly
available for the art gallery. DR..
Holmes has thus begun the organiza-
ton of the national gallery as an in
dependent administrative unit under
the Smithsonian.
Congressman Interested.
The space given over to art in the
New National Museum is already
overcrowded. A separate building,
designed specially for the display of
the nations art treasures, is impera-
tive and leaders in Congress have de-
clared wholehearted sympathy with
this project. There is no doubt that
as soon as the building is provided
many rich gifts and important be-
quests of art works will be forthcom-
ing. There Is no question that the
private owner would much prefer to
contribute his precious gems to the
nation for the benefit of posterity
than to leave them to any private in
stitution, especially one which stands
as a monument to some individual.
There are from necessity two dis
tinct branches of the National Art
Gallery. One of these, the Freer Gal
lery, is to occupy a separate build
ing now nearing completion ION the
Smithsonian grounds. 1t is built with
funds furnished by Charles L. Freer
of Detroit for his famous collection
valued at many millions, which COM
prises paintings and unexcelled treas
ures of Chinese art. 1t is to be under
a special curator and staff, the SAL
aries being provided by the Freer
foundation. This is probably the
most important gift ever contributed
by any one man to the national gov
eminent.
The building has been especially
designed and constructed for the ac-
commodafion of the Freer collections
and cannot be used to house other
than these save such additions as may
happen to be made through purchase
by the fund left by Mr.. Freer for the
pui pose.
Famous Whistler Works.
The Freer collection consists of up
ward of 5000 pieces, including the
famous Whistler works, which are
now being packed for shipment. The
Freer Gallery has a frontage of 228
feet, a depth OF 1875 feet and a height
of 46 feet. 1t contains $1,000 square
feet of floor space. The Whistler col
lection will occupy five of the nine

"o make Washington an art
center second to none is the
ambition of DR.. William H.
Holmes, who has just been
appointed director of the National
Gallery of Art. which now becomes a
distinct and Independent unit under
the administration of the Smithsonian
Institution with funds for it's support
having been made available by the
recently passed sundry civil appro-
priation bill.
Although it is pointed out that
Uncle Sam has never INDUCED in the
purchase of pictures for the national
gallery there have gradually been as
sembled through gifts and requests a
notable collection of paintings and
other art works, which are already
greatly overcrowding the space avail
able for their accommodation in the
New Natural History Museum.
New Museum Is Needed.
The first step toward making the
National Capital an art center of the
first Importance is the erection of a
suitable building to house the col
lections the government already owns
and to accommodate other notable
collections which are seeking per-
manent home. Congress will be ask
ed at an early date to provide funds
for the erection of this building. 1t
is intended that it shall at first &C
commodate also the great historical
collections now accommodating as a
heritage of the late war and that it
shall be located in the Smithsonian
grounds, between 7th and 9Th streets,
harmonizing with the New National
Museum. The New National Museum
cost $3,751 900, but it could not be
duplicated today for $7,000,000, so it
is probable that the permanent gal
lery for Uncle Sans art and history
collection will require approximately
the expenditure of at least the latter
sum.
Away back in 1s49 Congress di-
rected the formation of a gallery of
art for the nation, and even before
that in 1910 gave encouragement to
such a project by granting an act OF
Incorporation to a private society
whose collections eventually were to
be ceded to the United States. The
two collections thus authorized by
Congress were united in 1862, since
which time the subject of art as a
museum feature under the govern
ment has continued in charge of the
Smithsonian Institution.

The governments art collection has
been developing rapidly since 1906,
when the Harriet Lane Johnston col
lection was given to the National
Gallery of Art" There are now in
the gallery several other important
gifts and bequests, such as the Will
liam T. Evans collection. regarded
as one of the choicest collections of
cotemporary American paintings in
existence.
Another is the gift of the Ralph
Cross johnson collection, conserva-
lively estimated to be worth half a
million or more. This collection
comprises twenty-four paintings by
nineteen of Europe's masters-Gains-
borough, Reynolds. Titan. Rubens
Rembrandt and others. Experts dis
close that a single portrait in this
collection would sell at auction in
New York at any time for more than
100000. This is the portrait of a
Venetian senator by Lorenzo Lotto
an Italian painter of 400 years ago.

other Rich Art Relics.
Aside from the National Gallery
there are many valuable art works in
Washington. The Capitol building has
numerous works of Importance. The
House has a notable gallery of por-
traits of the Speakers and the Sem
ate has a similar gallery of portrait
busts of the Vice Presidents. In Stat
uary Hall each state is allowed to
place two statues of it's greatest BEN
efactors. This collection to date has
cost over half million dollars.
Works of art in the Capitol include
portraits by John Singleton Coplev,
Benjamin West. Gilbert Stuart, Ches-
ter Harding, Charles Wilson Peale,
Thomas Sully, Rembrandt Peale, John
