corporations by their subsidiaries were

dividends by the former. The decision
in effect creates division between
the earnings OF the two and holds that

The amended regulation, however,
lays down the condition that the. re-

distributed all of its earnings and
profits accumulated since February
Is, 1929 in order that the tax exemp-
ton apply to the earnings and profits
