HOPE FOR SLASH.
IN INCOME TAX
ABANDONED
Federal Officials Admit It
WllI Be impossible to Cut
Revenue Sources This Year
By GEORGE r. HOLMES

@y NEObA6 ME- hULMES
All hope of maintaining the /
per cent reduction In income
taxes for this year fled today In
the face Of . prospective Treas
urS deficit.
Instead Of granting tax relief,
as was done last year. the Ad-
niinistration Is now confronted
with the problem Of finding In
creased Governmental revenue.
The prospect for a Treasury
deficit, probably small, was ad-
mitted at the White House. Moth.
ing was said there about the dis
continuance Of the 1 per cent re-
duction In income taxes, but
Treasury officials and the fiscal
leaders In Congress made 1t clear
that the existing State and Fed.
eral finances requires the maxi
mum from income taxpayers this
year.
Postal Boost Urged
Thus, instead Of the basic rate
Of one.llaf Of one per cent col
lected last year, the taxpayer win
be called upon for IA per cent
this year. with q similar | per
cent increase In the higher
brackets.
At the same time Postmaster
General Brown is agitating for
an increase Of the ordinary pest
age rate from 2 cents to "a
cents. Strenuous opposition win
be offered 10 this proposal.
Must Get Maximum
Administration officials said
that because Of diminishing Fed
eral revenues, caused by the bust.
ness depression and loss Of tar
If revenues in greatly decreased
imports. the Government has no
other alternative than to proceed
ITO get all it can"
Even with the enlarged income
tax return and the other meas
ures being planned to increase
revenues, the leaders are con-
fronted with b pretty problem in
financing IL the plans cf the ad-
nlinistration for unemployment
relief through q gigantic public
works program, seed loans to
agriculturists hard hit by the
drouth, ct cetera. are to be car
ried out.

with Great Britain N 1912. Prof. Huh,
like many of his associates at Swarth-
more, Is visionary idealist Of i'm
possible imagination.
ut would be as useless to debate
total disarmament with Prof. Hull as it
would to attempt conversion of Prof.
Leon Trotsky of his Communism or to
argue Prof. AL Capone out Of his gang
maneuvers. It would be like ckalleng-
ing the long line of successes of Prof.
Bishop James Cannon Of the Methodist
Church South in mixing bucket-shop
contributions with religion.
"Prof. Hull once said that strong
nations used their armements against
the weaker ones, and yet he would make
the United States a fools paradise while
nations strong in ornaments were in
debted to us for about $4,000 900 900.
Foolish Pacifism" Spread.
ct would respectfully suggest that
Prof Hull and his pro-BritiSh associates
at Swarthmore, conflne their efforts
toward the reduction of ornaments to
their beloved Great Britain. The spread
of foolish pacifism in the United States
but breeds Communism and disreSpect
for stable government.
THE resolution to which you refer
for total disarmament now pending in
the United States Senate will receive as
little serious consideration by that body
as I would from Prof. Hull and his fol-
lowers and your invitation is. therefore,
respectfully declined. 1t would be q
waste of time"

Characterizing >Swarthmore College,

Chairman Fred A. Britten of the House

Hull of Swarthmore
Explaining his action and the charges
he makes against Prof. Hull and the
college Representative Britten said:
Besides being an aggressive interna-
tionalist whose name has been on the
pay rolls of many so-called peace So
cities, Prof. Hull is a religious pacifist
in the constant employ of Swarthmore
College, Pennsylvania, which has large
endowment fund from Cecil Rhodes.
Anything that would destroy the Amer

would favor England is always favor
