BELGIUM MAKING
 RAPID STRIDES

Brussels, April 17-Be1gium has made rapid progress toward indus trial recovery since the armistice largely owing to the fact that the country has had no serious strikes says M. Jaspar, Minister of Economic Affairs. He estimates that the na- tained perhaps 70 per cent. of its pre- war record and that its mines are producing as much coal as in the year before the war
 About 70 per cent of our material which was taken out by the Germans has been returned to us," added M Jaspar. '@The money taken by the Germans from the Belgium treasury has been returned but Belgium has thus far received no indemnity from Germany. At the beginning of the
 arnistice S0O.000 of our people were without work. Our recovery has been made in spite of the fact that more than one-half of the BeIgians who had to flee before the Germans are still in France unable to return be
 cause they have no homes here" Belgian villages destroyed in the war are being rebuilt, said MT. Jas
 par In the district of Ypres IS viii lages have been restored to such an extent that local administration has been resumed. If the United States would do for Belgium what she has just done for Poland, establish a credit for her, most of our problems would be solved" declared the Min ister of Economics.

Dis covering at last that the drugs which he has been using in his experiments were impure, and that he cannot se- cure a further supply. he changes forever into Hyde. and ends his mis- cry by self murder.
 This story is presented by Sheldon Lewis, the distinguished actor, who plays the dual roles of pr. Jeky4l and MT. Hyde at the Peii theatre for the last time today,

as provided i'm the Revenue law As a reduction in Thy ested Capital re- duees the amount of the exemption from excess profits tax and increases the amount taxable at the higher rate, d corpora ton pays more tax by reason of owning State and municipal bonds. If q large percentage of the corpora tion's assets are in ta1-eNempt securities, the additional tax may amount to more than the interest re- ceived on the bOunds.
 While the bonds previously refer red to are the only securities that have complete or partial exemption from taxation, there are so-called Tax Free Bonds" which give thG holder the benefit of having the Nor nal Federal Income Tax up to 2 per cent. paid for him by the debtor cor poration- Such bonds which include railroads, public utilities, and indus trials contain covenants which usa- ally read about as follows: @Prin- cipa1 and interest of this bond will be paid without deduction for any taxes that the corporation may be required to withhold or retain under any pres ent or future law of the United States It will be observed that a corporation only agrees to pay it's
 
 Guired to withhold or retain To pro- tect the rights of holders of such bonds the Revenue Act was framed so that withholding of the tax is re- quired in the case of bonds contain ing a tax-free covenant. The amount that has to be withheld in such cases is. however, only ? per cent instead of the i per cent. oz 8 per cent nor nal tax that has to be paid by the bond holder, for the reason that if debtor corporations were required to pay the higher rate it would involve a considerable hardship which was not contemplated when the bond was issued, and the bond holder would be obtaining a benefit that he had not paid for. Under a recent ruling of the Treasury Department, however the bond holder does not obtain the benefit that he formerly did, as he is required to report as income the amount of tax paid for him by debtor corporations, and as taxes paid are not allowable deductions under the Federal Income Tax Law, no deduc- ton can be taken for this tax. The tax paid for bond holders in such cases is, however, allowed as a credit | against the amount of tax payable to the United States.
