HOTLY .ASSAtLS
M'ADOO'S PLAN

The suggestion of former Secre-
tary Of the Treasury McAdoo of "a
reduction in taxes and a new bond
issue drew fire yesterday from Rep
resentative Mondell, Republican, of
Wyoming. the House majority
leader.
He took direct issue with Mr. Nc
Adoo's proposal of a new bond is
sue by declaring the responsible Of
ficials and the Federal Trade Board
were unanimous in viewing such a
step as disastrous. He asserted that
a reduction in taxes was impossi-
BILE so long as the administration
continued to demand bloated appro-
priations. And as a climax to his
Mr.. Mondell declares the former
Secretary to be, responsible. more
than any other man, for the pres
ent distressing financial situation.
and that his suggestion would bring
a panic. instead Of relief. Mr.. Mon
dell said. in part:
Demands Outrun Receipts.
THE universal desire to have tax
burdens reduced afforded ex-Sec-
retary of the Treasury McAdoo op-
portunity for wide publicity of his
suggestion Of a reduction of taxes
and a new issue OF bonds. Those
familiar with the financial situa-
tiop of the government must, how
ever, have been at a loss to un-
derstand how the distinguished ex-
Secretary hopes to reduce taxation
while the administration demands
for appropriations far outrun the
estimated receipts. p
THE ex-Secretary's recommenda-
tion of a bond issue is even more ex-
traordinary in view of the fact that
the responsible officials of the Treas
ury and of the Federal Reserve
Board are unanimous in their opinion
as to the disastrous consequences
of any large issue of government
bonds at this time or at any time
in the near future. ].
Before there can be any reduc-
tion of the volume of taxes there
must be a reduction Of expenditures
and IL is towards such reduction that
Congress is now bending its energies.
Secretary McAdoo Is, more than
any other man, responsible for the
present situation, for he 1t was who
planned the financial program Of the
war. he 1t was who insisted upon
the reduction of government income
while government expenditures were
at their maximum. Out Of this grew
the enormous war overhang Of $3,-
o0o, 10000 of floating indebtedness
that constitutes q constant financial
menace.
