WALSH WILL OPPOSE
INCREASED TAXATION
Massachusetts, Senator Is Ranged
With Other Demo-
Gratis.

Senator David I. Walsh of Massa-
chu3etts today ranged himself with
other prominent Democrats who arc
opposed to legislation increasing Fed
eral taxation in the coming session of
Congress.
II do not believe s!.at it would be
to the advantage of the country at
this time, with a business depression
on, to pass laws increasing taxes" said
the Massachusetts, Senator. Il belie;n
that the Federal Government cal.
bridge over the deficit which the
Treasury now faces by borrowing
money. There is a lot of money in
this country which can be borrowed
at low rates of interest. An increase
in taxation would be a deterrent. in
my opinion, to return of business
activity
This attitude of Senator Walsh to-
ward the tax laws, following closely
on statement made by Senator Pat
Harrison OF Mississippi, is believed to
indicate clearly that the Democratic
party in Congress will be opposed to
tax increases at the coming session,
which opens in December. Harrison,
like Senator Walsh, is against, increas-
ing taxes, and, like Senator Walsh, is
a Democratic member of the Senate
Finance Committee, which handles all
revenue legislation.
Senator Walsh believes that govern
mental expenditures should be cur
tailed at this time, when economy is
essential. But he believes that the
Government appropriations should be
kept down by Congress and by the
administration.

The government claimed that one

1t was added that the fall of Funchal

ing already reached its outskirts.
