mitting the sale Of wines and beer. He
stated at the White House that In the
event that the same Sc excise tax was
imposed on each barrel of beer sold
the Government would receive $780,
100000 in taxes. He added that be-
side this amount the association rep
resented by him and his associates all
ready has gone on record as favoring
an additional Q per cent tax on the
gross sale of beer and wine, which, he
said, would give the Government an
additional 100000, 900.
Would Strengthen Income Taxes.
Then" continued Mr., Henkel, "our

the first time in many years, be in q
position to pay income taxes on their

Go 5ernment income to much more than
a billion do'la's. This income would
help reduce the taxes the public now

Interests by Swedish Parliament.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, March IA up.
"A brief moratorium, following closely
on the suicide Of Ivar Kruger, Swedish
match king, was extended to business
interests by the Swedish Parliament to-
day and first applied to Krueger's own
concerns. =.

On request of the Kreuger & Toll Co.,

until March 81 a moratorium on the
firms obligations and those OF three
smaller afIiliated concerns as well as
on the liabilities Of Kreuger's heirs and
four Of his associates, including Deputy
Director Krister Littorin.
The debate in the upper chamber
was opened by Minister OF Finance Felix
I1dEflrul. 1lc ciIipldSl1CO tlht inc pow
ers extended should be used with the
utmost caution with respect 10 national
as we'll as private interests. Social
ist Deputy replied that although the
Parliament agreed to extend the mora
torium, it did not forego the right to
criticize whatever measures the govern
nent might take.
The request of the Kreuger company
to the Parliament said:
"On account of the death of Ivar
Kreuger it is necessary for the directors
(of Kreuger IL Toll) to make an in
vestigation and to survey the company's
engagements. In order to be enabled
to do this without disturbance and hav-
ing regard for the firms large opera
tions the company requests the gov
eminent to grant O respite until the
end of March for payment OF the debts
Of the company.
The same respite is requested for
certain affiliated companies and GER
tain persons in the Kreuger & Toll Co,
who are personally liable for some of
