Senate Tax Bill Action

The first thing that baby politicians

They thought it was bad enough
when President Roosevelt suggested
taxing the few rich who always fur
rish campaign contributions, but were
consoled by the fact that the idea was
supposed to be popular with the many

before the committee. to 6. struck
out the La Toilette amendment. it
was privately suggested that the Lobby

NEW LIQUOR BILL
FOUGHT IN SENATE
Controversy Stirred by Ef.
fort to Change Federal
Control Over Industry.
Ry the Associated Pres,

BY the Associated Press.
A bill to set up new Federal control
over the liquor industry came before
the Senate for debate today amid
clashing views on several major
points.
The bill requires all distillers. rec
tiflers, importers or dealers operating
In interstate commerce to obtain per-
mits from q new administrative board
Of three. To get permit they would
be required to observe fair trade"
practices and to avoid deceptive ad-
vertising and branding.
Passed by House.
Already passed by the House, the
measure has been revised by the
Senate Finance Committee.
The House permitted sale OF liquor
in barrels and casks to hotels and
bona fide clubs, but this was stricken
out by the Senate committee on the
plea Of Secretary Morgenthau that
1t would take an army" to prevent
bootlegging. Cooperage industries.
however, fought for use of barrels
in retail trade instead Of only
bottles. as allowed under present reg
ulations.
The House put the new administra-
tion under the Treasury Department,
but, again needing that department s
wishes, the Senate committee passed
an amendment setting up an inde-
pendent agency.
Deceptive Advertising Outlawed.
Deceptive advertising or branding
was outlawed, but newspapers, maga-
zines and broadcasters were exempted
from liability for misleading state
ments made in advertisements submit
ted to them.
Most controversial was the bulk
sales provision. opposed by Federal
enforcement agencies, but defended
by representatives Of small distillers
and rectiflers. who contended 1t was
the only way they could compete
with big distilleries able to advertise
their products nationally.
Hotel interests pleaded that bulk
sales would permit them to sell drinks
cheaper and thereby drive out boot
Logging.
Treasury officials declared bulk sales
meant return Of the conditions in
the old saloon"

Britain, France and Italy are going
to sit around conference table in
Paris the end of the week to discuss
Ethiopia's fate. The announced pur-
pose Is to induce Italy to take eco
nomic concessions instead of going to
war.
Mandate Proposal Likely.
The inside on 1t. as heard by our
diplomats, Is that Britain is going to
propose something In the nature Of q
League Of Nations mandate over
Ethiopia. It would be created for the
purpose Of assisting the economic de-
velopment" Of the African kingdom.
Under this mandate Italy would get
economic and colonization concessions,
while Halle SelaSsie could keep his
throne and pretend he is independent.
The British do not really believe
italy tDfll accept, but the proposal
wtl ,Dash British hands Of the con-
sequences.
Gen. Johnson's trouble with striking
relief workers was no surprise to him.
The New Deal authorities knew weeks
ago that it was coming and did every
thing they could to prevent 1t.
Mr.. Roosevelt personally made the
decision to fight the strike. His
liaison man with johnson was Assist
ant Labor Secretary McGrady. Incl
dentally, this is why johnson has been
glum the last few weeks. The rumors
that he received spanking from
Washington are not correct.

Evening star., 1935-08-13

The explanation behind this clown
ing may be found in the very bad
mess in which Mr.. Roosevelt's original
proposal has become involved. From
the beginning the major stumbling
block has been eager young Senator
La Toilette. The powers that be have
thought it advisable to appease him
all along the way They kept him
from trying to wreck several bills
with tax amendments by promising to
give his ideas a try-out when this tax
bill came along.
II they had not accepted his un-
tuanted program in committee an
open floor fight OF possibly sir
ueeks' duration mould haue re-
suited. As it is. Senator La Fol-
lete will be leading spokesman
for the bill, Which is now con-
sidered to be so bad from po-
littcal standpoint that it piu cause
a popular reaction.
OF course, the real bill will be writ
ten later when the House and Senate
conferees get together in private and
seek to adjust the differences in their
two measures.
State departmentalists will hold up
their hands in horror if you suggest
that they have invoked economic
sanctions against Italy, but they have.
1t was done Intentionally in a way
which was ambiguous enough to be
clever.
Lira Suffers Setback.
The export-import bank issued an
unnoticed announcement few days
back that it would not consider any
further applications for credits in
volving italy I'm view Of the uncertain
conditions" in that country. If you
press bank officials they will add pri-
vately that Mussolini's promised war
against Ethiopia hurt the lira so much
that he is not considered a good credit
risk. That is true, and is reason
enough, but there is another.
The fact is that the same deci-
sion ,Dould haze been reached il
the Ira Uere sound. Our diplomats
agreed unanimously among them
selDes that they Uould prevent
American dollars from being used
in any Udy to finance Mussolinfs
conquest.
The situation arose over efforts Of
American cotton manufacturers to OBJ
tain credits with which to finance
shipment OF cotton goods to italy. Ex-
porters sought six months credit from
New York bankers The banks re-
fused anything longer than three
months, so the exporters turned in
vain to the Government.
The State Department Is trying to
indicate it had nothing to do with
the affair. Secretary Hull says he
knows noJhing of 1t and refers all in
quiries to tn, bank. He neglects to
add, however. that two of his priced
assistants (Messrs. Moore and Kelley
are directors Of the bank and partici-
pated In the decision.
