DEBT COMMITTEES
COMPARING NOTES
Joint Reparations Scheme Expected
at Plenary Session
Tomorrow.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, March 5.-The subcommittee
of the reparations experts body today
were engaged in completing the work
on the subjects intrusted to them and
comparing notes with view to presen-
tation at Wednesdays plenary session
of single joint scheme embodying the
conclusions of all.
II this can be accomplished to the
general satisfaction of the full body the
ground will be cleared for the real tug
of-War; that is, the fixing of the amount
OF Germany'S annual payments and the
number OF years through which they
are to extend.
Lord Revelstokes idea of setting up
truSteeship to carry out the recon-
mendatIons OF the committee in exact
ing the separations payments of Ger
many is only tentative. The British
banker, 1t Is said, needs data. to be
furnished him today by the subcommit-
tees OF Thomas Perkins and Sir Josiah
Stamp, to complete his work
1t is understood that 1t is Lord Revel-
stokes idea and the idea of other bank
ers on the committee that the conf
mittee itself should provide only the
technical means for the issuance of
bonds to commercialize the PREPARATIONS
debt. leaving the actual issuance Of the
bonds to the governments concerned.
The subcommittee of Sir Josiah Stamp
has It's study of transfers, or annuitieS,
less advanced than were the labors of
the other subcommittee, and it was
said Sir Josiahs remarks at the pienary
session yesterday were inconc.usive He
expected to have something more def
mite IN written form in time for the
Wednesday plenary session.
The principal conclusion reached by
the Perkins subcommittee on payments
In kind was understood to be that the
system needs considerable simplification
AT present the regulations for deliveries
are complicated and cumbersome.

YOUR INCOME TAX.
No. 30.

The tax on dividends is an i'm
portant item in the returns of
many taxpayers. As defined by
the revenue act of 1928, the term
dividend" means any distribu-
ton made by a corporation TO It's
shareholders, whether In money
or other property, out of its earn
ings or profits accumulated after
February %, 1913. If dividend
represents profits earned by a
corporation prior to March i,
1918, there Is no tax.
A dividend may be payable out
of current profits or accumulated
surplus, but 1t has no legal exist
ence until 1t is declared" by a
formal resolution of the directors
of the corporation. The ordinary
form Of dividend is a periodical
cash distribution of current
profits. However, dividends may
be paid in securities or other
property. For example corpora
ton may distribute among It's
stockholders securities in which 1t
has invested its earnings. Such
securities are to be reported as
dividends by the stockholders at
the fair market value on the date
the dividends become payable.
The rate of tax on the income
Of corporations was reduced by
the revenue act of 1928 from 1872
to IL per cent. The same rate
applies to the income of insurance
companies, the reduction with re-
spect to this class of taxpayers
being from 1919 to IL per cent.

dental contact with the press can be
improved upon so that it will work for
the advantage of all concerned, He
realizes that the relations between the
Executive and press have been in the
process OF development since the in
auguration Of the presidential press con-
ference during the administration of
PRESIDENT Roosevelt. These relations
nave been improved ON from time to
Time and can be further improved. The
impression also was given by Mr..
Hoover that while he is hopeful of lib
efallzing the press conferences by per-
uniting himself to be directly quoted at
Times and indirectly quoted at other
times, ne has no desire to resurrect the
internationally famous White House
spokesman which was given the death
blow by President Coolidge more than
year ago
President Hoover spoke in full, as
press of the United States has given
me the honor of call this morning.
Before we undertake other ques-
lions 1 wish to say word about the
press conference. would like the con-
ference to continue as before with the
same understandings as those which
you had with President Coolidge I
WISH your further cooperation on fur
tner developments of these conferences.
AS you know, the relations of the
PRESIDENT and the press have been a
matter OF development over number
OF administrations, starting most active
~ under President Roosevelt, goirI
through one experimental stage to an
otner, down to the present time. BY
degrees a means has been found for
more intimate relationship, and have
an impression that We migh1 develop
1t even further In those directions which
would assist the press and assist the
President.
Il would like to suggest that Mr.
Young, who is the president of the
Whlte House Association, make up
committee of the heads OF bureaus and
services and discuss the matter with me
ON some early occasion as to how we
can further amplify these relations.
II am anxious to clear up the twi-
