BILLION IN LOANS
LISTED BY DILLON
Banker Tells Senators He
Believes Private Foreign
Debts viii Be Paid.

BY the Associated Press.
Another billion and half of foreign
loans was added today to the growing
heap Of such securities about which
the Senate Finance Committee has re-
ceived testimony.
Clarence Dillon of Dillon, Read & Co.
said his organization had originated
81, 1,491 .228 900 of foreign loans since
the World War.
Dillon expressed confidence that for
eign private debts would be paid.
He differentiated between private
and public debts, however, and said
payment of the latter is primarily a
political question"
Nations have not paid nations so
much from the -~nctity OF the obliga-
ton" he said, "as from the expediency
of the moment"
Has Faith in Individual.
II am certain the private debtors are
going to pay unless extraordinary po-
litical or economic forces make it i'm
possible" he said. In every country
the integrity of the individual still re-
mains.
THE larger private corporations TO
whom we have loaned money today are
solvent, and wherever there Is any diff
Guilty in meeting their foreign obhga-
tiOnS as in the Short-term credits to
this country, it is question of transfer,
that is, their ability to get dollars rather
than their solvency."
Dillon looked younger than the bank
ers who preceded him on the stand.
Seeks Morgan Data.
Before the testimony started, Sena-
tor johnson, Republican, California,
sponsor of the inquiry, pointed out that
j. P. Morgan & Co. had not filed a
statement of its profits and asked that
1t be required to so so.
Chairman Smoot agreed to the re-
quest.
In discussing the loans originated by
his company, Dillon said about $9OO,-
100000 of them were outstanding on
January l.
None of these have been defaulted,
he said, except $370oO,O00 of Bolivian
and $52,000000 of Brazilian, which the
latter government has announced 1t will
fund over a period of three years.
s252,O0O,OO0 to Germany.
On the list of outstanding loans han
died by his company was total of
$4,000 900 to Germany.
Dillon was asked if he was convinced
OF the economic soundness of Germany
when his company made the loans.
I'VE were convinced of the soundness
of the companies" Dillon replied
What is the market value of these
securities?" Senator Shortridge, Re
publican, California, asked.
Il think can say it is low" Dillon
replied.
why is that?" Shortridge asked.
Il wish I could tell you"
Dillon-Read had gross receipts of
$755,000 on two Bolivian loans that
are now in default Dillon said.
He corrected Johnson for calling
these profits, saying all expenses had
to be deducted.

DEMOCRATS DRAFT
TENTATIVE TAX BILL
House Expected to Pass Measure
and Send It to Senate
by February.

Democratic leaders in the House and
Senate have drafted tentative tax bill,
which will be given the final approval Of
the party's Congressional Policy Com
mittee at a meeting tomorrow.
The bill, designed to make the added
taxation burden as light as possible on
people of small income, will be con-
Sidered by the House Ways and Means
Committee, which initiates all revenue
legislation, along with the Treasury's
program to raise about S920,000000.
Chairman Collier said hearings prob
ably would begin tomorrow.
House Democrats virtually are agreed
on a program calling for an increase in
taxes on incomes in the higher brackets,
loss provision of the present law levying
a gift tax, and an increase in the estate
tax.
Hearings are expected to occupy about
10 days, and the Democrats expect to
pass the bill and send it to the Senate
before February.
Speaker Garner has conducted an ex-
tenSive study of the Governments rev.
enueS and its prospective $2,000,000, 900
deficit. He proposes that a number of
holes in the existing law through which
tax payment evasions are possible be
stopped by amendments. He estimated
5000, 900, 900 would be saved to the Gov
ernment annually in this way.
Indications are that many of the
Democratic tax proposals will have the
support in the House of large group
of Republicans.
A statement of the Treasury's posi-
ton at the close of 1881 revealed that
the deficit stood at $1,385 ,449 487 with
the fiscal year exactly half completed

you want to know whether we will ac-
cept it.
The Red Cross will accept that re-
sponsibility," Payne said emphatically.
La Guardia Criticizes Red Cross.
Committee members listened atten-
lively as the Red Cross head outlined
his views regarding such legislation.
Just before he took the stand Repre-
sentative La Guardia, New York Repub-
lican, had criticized the Red Cross at
titude last year in refusing Federal aid
as a great disappointment.
Before addressing himself to the
wheat bill, Payne volunteered an an
sWer to La Guardia.
Before you begin" he said, II heard
the gentleman before me speak with
reference to the Red Cross. If any
gentleman here happens 10 reside in
one of the drought States I only refer
to them for complete answer TO what
the gentleman said"
Would Sell Milled ByPrOducts.
Payne recommended that provision be
made to pay for the cost Of processing
the wheat with the by-products.
In our view" he said, 1T is vital
that the cost of milling, cleaning and
other processing may be paid for by the
by-productS. 1 know of no reason why
the by-products should not be used to
pay this cost
Payne estimated the cost of milling
40 900 900 bushels of wheat at 5,000,-
900.
HuddIeston Asks Relief Funds.
While Payne was giving his views to
the House Committee Representative
Huddleston of Alabama was asking the
Senate Manufactures Committee to ap-
prove direct Federal appropriations Tor
unemployment relief.
Huddleston is a Democratic sponsor
of bill to that end. Representing the
Birmingham district, he told Of condl-
tionS in that industrial center estimat-
ing $4,000 wage earners are out OF en-
ployment there

I'VE haven't got the money for re-

it is that many of our beautiful resi-
dences are mortgaged. We have had 18
bank failures and forced consultations
since 1929.
Last February our charitable organ
izations were feeding about $4,000 My
last information is that we are feeding
about $4,000.

Representative Huddleston said, 1T is
about as hard to get in poor house
in my country as it is to get elected to
Office" He believed if it were as easy
I'VE would have about $4,000 there"
Neither the city, county or State Is
in a position to give aid" he con-
tinued, adding: THE situation is full of

SALES TAX CERTAIN,
RA|NEY INDICATES
Declares Between 200 and
800 Millions Must Be Raised
Through Plan.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Representative Rainey, House major
ity leader, said today the Democratic
tax program undoubtedly will contain
some sales taxes
This was one of the foremost direct
hints yet as to just what tax course the
Democrats will take. The way Is being
cleared for rapid consideration of the
whole question, while the Federal deficit
continues to mount. Today 1t reached
81 800, ,583 900.
While Rainey did not specify all the
sales taxes his party is considering, ne
said that probably between 100000, 600
and $500 ,000,0 900 will have TO be raised
through sales taxes"
The Illinois Representative made it
clear that the sales taxes would not be
general, suggesting that levies be made
on gasoline, automobile, radio and
stamp sales.
I'VE will have to touch many things
to raise the revenue needed to balance
the budget" he said.
He suggested that the maximum inr
come tax would be 40 per cent, which
is 20 per cent less than the wartime
maximum tax on big incomes.
The Democratic Congressional Policy
Committee will meet tomorrow in
Speaker Gamers Office to approve q
tentative tax-increase program.
Rainey and Chairman Collier OF the
House Ways and Means Committee said
that hearings probably soon would get
under way on the tax proposals, with
either Secretary Mellon or UnderSec-
retary Mills of the Treasury as the
first witnesses.
Democrats do not plan to lower the
exemptions on small incomes, unless
it is found imperative. They generally
are agreed on larger estate tax, the
levying of a gift tax and increasing the
income tax in the higher brackets.
IF we should go too high in increas-
ing the taxes on big incomes" Rainey
said, I'VE might reach the place where
the law of diminishing returns would
react against the levy"

Those SO projects involve operations

IA projects that have not yet been
selected because of difficulty in getting
a good site and for other reasons.
Limits of cost for the entire IA projects
are S4,625,000.
Then there are IS projects that
will probably have to be held for
amended legislation either because the
limit of cost is insufficient or there is
some need for change in the legisla-
ton in order to acquire site with
reservations. That will be total of
