Following a conference yesterday with
Secretary Morgenthau to obtain the
final views Of the Treasury, the House
Committee yielded to the request OF
the department head to drop its plan
to deduct depreciation and depletion
allowances to corporations.
BY this action. about $85, 900 900 OF
estimated revenue was dropped from
the bill as Originally drawn. However.
various minor administrative changes
recommended by the Treasury were
adopted.
Chairman Doughton, in saying the
bill probably would be formally re-
ported to the House for action Wednes-
day, said there are several maj items
yet to be decided upon and that all
action thus far is tentative. However,
on the major items decided upon. for
NAL votes were taken and they are
expected to remain in the bill.
Retroactive Tax Question.
Whether the income tax changes
would be made retroactive so as to
cover incomes of 1888 on which returns
will be. made in March, has not yet
been decided
Representatives Bacharach, Repub-
lican, of New Jersey, and Hill, jointly
offered the amendment to allow a 10
per cent reduction on the net earned
income not in excess Of $4,000. For ad-
ministrative purposes, $1,000 net is al
lowed for earned income, but the tax
payer must prove that any part Of the
remaining $1,000 Is earned income.
It was estimated that this would
save the small income taxpayers about
S10,000000 annually.

BASIC LAW CHANGE

Reichstag to Be Asked for
Reforms Minimizing State
Governments.
BY the Associated Press.

BERLIN. January 26-Chancellor
Adolf Hitler will observe the anniver-
ssry of his ascent to power January 80
by asking the Reichstag for an enabling
act to change the constitution radically.
He proposes:
|. Vesting wide executive powers in
the federal ministry OF the interior,
which, heretofore, has had to rely on
states to execute its orders.
2. Abolishing state police and state
judicial institutions and vesting their
power in a federal minister of police
and a federal minister of justice
The cabinet has another proposal
under consideration. 1t is to abolish
state ministers OF education and cul-
ture and create a federal kultur min
istry
Under this feature, states would be
left intact but their governments
would become mere administration sub
organs OF the respective federal depart
mentS.
The reforms as now planned repre-
continuing, however, surprises may be
| in store

Ernst Roehm and Rudolf Hess. min

vailed, but for one imperturbable OBJ

NOTED IN FIGURES
Higher Commodity Prices Re-

By the Associated Press,

ny lH0 hSSOClAteU IIeS.
A trend nc. only toward higher
wholesale commodity prices, but also
toward increased business activity, was
noted today by Federal agencies that
keep tab on such figures
The Federal Reserve Board stood be-
hind a statement that a four month
decline in industrial production wa
halted in December. In its own words
the boards index Of industrial produc-
ton advanced from 73 per cent Of the
1923-25 average In November to "a in
December" It noted also nearly a bill
lion dollars Of ready business credit al
hand.
The Bureau Of Labor Statistics re-
ported that during the week of January
20 its index figure on the level Of
wholesale commodity prices rose from
TT of the 1926 average in the previous
week to 72.3, the highest level since
January. 1882.
Although the Reserve Board stated
that factory employment declined
somewhat" last month, there was a
considerable increase" in employment;
by public agencies.
Activity in the steel and automobile
industries and sales In department
stores increased considerably, it said
although there was some decline in tex
tiles and shoes.
The boards monthly review of con-
ditions reported the early January ad-
vance in wholesale commodity prices
reflected chiefly increases in the prices
OF farm products and foods" It added:
Cotton and grains showed marked
increases and live stock prices also ad-
vanced somewhat"
Reviewing the credit situation, the
board said:
AT the Reserve banks the seasonable
return OF currency from circulation
after the holiday demand amounted to
about $250,000, 900 from the high point
on December % to January II. A
large part of the funds arising from
this inflow of currency to the Reserve
banks was added to the Reserve bal
ances of member banks, with the con-
sequence that these balances increased
by January II to 5000 O00, 900 in ex-
cess Of legal requirements.
The return flow of currency from
circulation and the reduction Of bal
ances held by commercial banks for
the United States Government were re-
flected in an increase Of demand de-
posits at reporting member banks.
Loans Of the banks declined between
December l3 and January II, while
and other securities increased.
Short term money rates In the open
market, which had shown a slight ad-
vance in December. declined in Janu-
ary to the previous level"

of Hirota's Speech and

BY the Associated Press.

MOSCOW, January 26. Suspicion
and distrust Of Japanese intentions in
the Far East were voiced In the Soviet
press today in the FIRST reaction to the
speech Of Foreign Minister Koki Hirota
before the japanese Diet and the resig-
nation Of Gen. Sadao Arah as minis
ter Of war.
Declaring no changes In Japanese
policies can be expected to result from
Hirota's declaration Of policy and
Arakis retirement. the newspaper L.
vestia added:
1T Is regrettable that neither event
gives any indication Of q decision by the
Japanese government to begin decis-
I've liquidation Of its tense policy toward
the Soviet Union.
THE speech Of Hirota. which could
have played such q positive role in the
improvement Of international relations,
can hardly be considered as having ac-
complished this purpose"
Responsibility on Japan"
Declaring Hirota tried to explain the
present tension In the Far East by at
tributing to the Soviet government a
change in its former policy. this gov
ernment organ then went on to say:
by saying this he obviously wanted
to minimize the responsibility for
sharpening Russo japanese positions in
the Far East-which responsibility lies
entirely upon the japanese government.
He cannot remove this responsibility
by pronouncing sentence.
THE Soviet Union, by proposing q
guarantee pact. by participating in a
Soviet Manchukuo Japanese frontier
commission. and by agreeing to sell the
Chinese Eastern Railway. proved its
readiness to maintain peace in the Far
East.
This policy will not be changed I'M
less the japanese government carries
out its aggressive plan and prepara-
tions which are now being carried on" !"
Rodek Also Gives Warning.

ter's reference to stabilization of peace
in Asia. Karl Radek-Writing in the
same paper-warned that peace is in
danger, despite and owing to the
'stabilization measures Of Japanese i'm
pcTlduSo.
The stabilization Of peace in the
Far East which Hirota mentions means
establishment Of such order as best will
serve the interests of Japanese i'm
perialists. In other words, peace can
be established in Asia when it Is in the
hands Of Japanese imperialists."
Denying Hirotas suggestion that the
Soviet government has altered its
peaceful policy in the Far East. Radek
continued:
THE only change has taken place
on the japanese side. Having seized
Manchuria and improved railroad
transportation systems there and con-
structed many new airdromes. the JAP
anese military now openly propagates
the necessity Of war with the Soviet
