FOREIGN TRADE A PUZZLE
 IN THE TAX REVISION BILL

Washington, Oct. 30.-whether major ity members of the senate finance com mittee will press to have reinserted In the tax revision bill the provision ex- empting foreign trade corporations and foreign traders from taxation on their income from sources without the United States probably will depend upon the fate of the proposal to grant exemptions to such corporations and traders doing business in China
 Strong opposition has developed on both the republican and democratic side to the proposition Assertions by Sena- tor Shoot of Utah, author of the pro- posal, that it would affect few corpora ticns or individuals, broug&t from oppo- nents the declaration that practically all American concerns trading with China would organize subsidiary companies to take over that trade so as to escape taxation on the income from this busi- ness.
 This was a high spot in the argument of Senator LaFoiette who led the sue cessful fight to have stricken from the bill the original provision granting ex- emptions to foreign trade corporation, and foreign traders irrespective of where their business was done. Administration officers have urged such a provision. but so many senators apparently are con. ,, v.nced that it would be used by Ameri l can business generally to avoid taxation on income from foreign trade that ther, appears little prospect that it will pre- vail.
