FOREIGN LINES
 LOSE OLD FIGHT
Must Pay Portion Of Taxes On Income, From
 United States Traffic

WASHINGTON, March 29.-For' reign steamship interests have lost theil three-year fight to avoid payment oi a portion of the taxes on income de rived from traffic originating within the United States. The treasury to- night made public an .opinoin recently submitted by Attorney General Daugh' erty, Supholding the governments right to tax income from sources within the United States and reaffirming ruling handed down by the department of justice in 1920.
 The ruling applies in a general way to other foreign corporat tions, but more specifically to shipping, in as much as the right to tax the income of the corpora tions doing business here, as differentiated from the act of trans. porting, has not been challenged. The fight was begun shortly after passage of the 1921 revenue act and the ques. tion finally was put up to the depart ment of justice late last summer.
 Foreign shippnig interests contended that the tax should apply only to . portion of the earnings from transport ing acargo in foreign owned bottom to a foreign shore. The treasury's view, as now expressed in a decision which becomes binding upon revenue collectors, was that the law applied to the whole, operation. The ship owners made the same claim after the 1918 revenue act was passed and that con. teption was held without merit also.
 Treasury officials have estimated that to grant the claim of the shipping interests might have cut off annually $50, ,0OO, 900. E
