AMERICANS IN BRAZIL
WANT TAX EXEMPTION

Rio de Janeiro. Aug. 5-Americans
residing in Brazil have begun. thru
the American Chamber of Commerce
for Brazil, an active campaign for the
abolition or reduction of the Ameri-
can income tax on citizens residing
abroad. The chamber has authorized
special committee to engage a
prominent lawyer of Washington to
bring before Congress a bill drawn up
by the chamber dealing with the sub
ject. The moral and financial sup
port of all American chambers abroad
and the foreign trade bodies in the
United States is being solicited. Am-
ericans abroad are to be asked to urge
their congressional representatives to
make independent representations to
Congress.
The committee which had the mat
ter in charge recommends that total
exemption be asked for, principally
for the reason that European coun-
tries do not tax their nationals en-
gagged IN business abroad, and that
only total exemption will place the
Americans on an equal footing with
European competitors IN developing
foreign trade.
