Houston's Plea Ends All Hope of Postponement or De-

Finance Committee Sees Big Bills Ahead

gong TO be extremely difficult to finance
uie Government without the payment OF
taxes on that date. BY January /. out
SIDE or the ordinary expenses OF the
"oVernment about s1.1l0,o0o GEO will
nave matured and must be met. The
Treasury estimates that II all the taxes
are paid II will amount to only about
$65O,OOO.O00 and there f. about $780,
100000 to-day In the Treasury.
Another proposal considered BY the
members of the Finance Committee to-
day and which has been urged by many
financial institutions in connection with
the excess profits taxes was to deduct
losses on Inventories Of 1920 due to fall
ing prices from previous years profits.
The consensus OF the members pres
ent was that this should not be done.
II Is considered that financing the Gov
ernment has been based on the anticipa.-
ton that all of these taxes would be
paid this year. 1t would be almost
equivalent to abating the last instalment
Of the 1919 taxes, due December 10.
1.-THE same reasons apply in both
these cases 1t seemed TO committee
members that the obligations of the Gov
ernment are so great and conditions OF
banks such that we ought not attempt

extent greater than is absolutely neces-
sary."
