ate r nance Committee at Washington
THE committee on taxation of the
New Y DIRK Chamber of Commerce urges
you to amend the excess profits and

profits tax levy and that business in
general may receive assistance in its
efforts TO recover from TIE present de-
preston. This chamber adopted re-
port last year urging the repeal of
Federal excess profits taxes because
they are antagonist c to the develop
mcnt Of our foreign trade, because
they greatly increase the cost Of neces-
saries Of life and because they are
uNeconomical and injurious to bust
ness progress. TIE best interest of all
will be promoted by having the re-
vision apply as Of January l, 1921"
