EXCESS PROFIT
TAX At 7ACHED
Otto H. Kahn for | Per Cent. Tax
on Purchases Exceeding 81

By The Associated Press.
NEWARK, Jan. 21:-Abolition OF
the excess profits tax and substitution
therefor of a tax of one per cent. on
all purchases exceeding 50 to be paid
by the purchaser, was advocated by
Otto II. Kahn, New York; banker,
here today In an address before the
Association of Creditmen.
Mr.. Kahn characterized the excess
profit tax as freakish and baneful in
It's influence and blamed preparation
In q large measure for the high cost
of living In industrial and economic
dislocation and social discomfort.
"I always favored a progressive in
come tax" said Mr.. Kahn. land
would not advocate any scheme of
taxation which would spare wealth.
The upper scale Of our Surtaxes Isl
however, so extreme that 1t has de-
feated its own purpose by driving
capital into tax exempt security. The
result is that our investment markets
has largely ceased to function which
fact is in considerable part respon-
sible for the over strained money and
credit position and is a menace, both
to our domestic and foreign trades"
Mr.. Kahn declared the only hope
for the necessary financing of Euro
pean industries lay with private cap
ital and that unless the present sux-
ldA6S WGI6 ICIllONGu pIlNAlS CdpIbdI
would not provide the funds. He
characterized as 'delusion' the cur
rent belief that mere ratification OF
the peace treaty by the United States
would set In motion a free flow of
American credit to Europe.
Discussing the proposal for tax
on purchases. Mr.. Kahn recalled
that the scheme was employed sue
cessfully during the civil war and
estimated that such tax would pro-
duce from two to four billions a year,
according to whether it was applied
to wholesale transactions as well as
retail purchases. In the event it was
applied only to the latter o gradual
ed scale would be put into effect
ranging from one per cent. on small
purchases to perhaps ten per cent.
on large ones. He expressed the be-
lief that such a tax would produce
sufficient revenue to permit abolition
of the income tax on incomes under
$4,000 n year.
