Treasury fiscal experts, appearing
before the House Ways and Means

against the tax suggestions made by
President Roosevelt, estimated that
the levy on undivided corporation
profits would raise 100000 900 to

Coincidentally, Mussolini prepared

planned as a counter move to any

It is indicated that, while consid-

TOKYO (Thursday), March S.
Roy w. Towards interview with
Josef V. Stain was printed in the
Tokyo morning papers today &C
companied by comment by an au-
thority of the foreign office, ex-
pressing surprise at some of Sta
Inns statements, which were held
to be out of harmony with previous
utterances.
The foreign office official recalled
former speeches in which Stain as
serted the Soviet would defend every
inch of its own territory and does
not want a single inch of foreign
territory, adding that such is the
basis of the Soviet principle of ma
tional defense.
I'VE are at a loss to harmonic
statements contained in the Howard
interview with those previously re-
peatedly expressed by Stain" the
official said.
He added that Soviet Monaghan
relations were vague and the Japan
csc ambassador had asked the
Soviet foreign office to define them,
but received no reply.
The foreign office authority eX-
pressed the following opinions:
l. Soviet influence in Mongolia is
Slight, so that if the SovietS fail to
take advantage of every opportunity
to spread propaganda, the Mongols
will become Indifferent, a fact which
Stain apparently realizes.
2. Such an "outburst" might
serve to puff up certain elements
in China, especially those engaging
in anti-Japanese activities. Thus
the Soviets might find it very con-
venient at this time to use a loud
voice.
The speaker concluded by saying
that in his personal opinion, the
"outburst" was largely bluff and not
a serious observation.
