reports that the monarch had rallied

Only this morning the King had

Two agencies of the Government,
at the behest of the Senate, plunged
today into the task of turning the
light of publicity on A. A. A. and
tariff benefits.
As demanded by a resolution OF
Senator Vandenberg, Republican. Of
Michigan, Secretary Wallace pre-
pared to give the chamber list Of
A. A. A. payments in excess of 10000

ton the benefits had halted and

AS demanded by the Democrats in
an amendment to the approved reso-
luton, the Tariff Commission set to
work completing list of corporations
with net incomes exceeding 100000
annually, which produce commodities
affected by tariffs, and the profitS
attributable to the tariff.
1t was believed the Tariff Commis-

for such publicity, because Repre-
sentative Jones, Democrat, OF Texas,
a week ago asked for considerable
data along the lines included in the
resolution.

The House Ways and Means Com
mittee voted today to offer an amend
ment to the tax bill designed to re-
move lag" in revenue production
estimated to amount to 100000, 900
in the first year.
Chairman Hill of the Tax Subcorl-
mittee said the amendment would be
a simple proposition" of making The
dividend year the same as the taxable
year for corporations.
The decision was reached as the
House began the last minutes of gen.
eral debate on the tax program and
prepared to consider amendments.
As now written, the bill, which was
estimated to raise 5000 900, 900, would
permit lag by reason of the fact that
corporation dividends paid out of 1886
income in part might be declared in
the first two and a half months of
1887 and not taxed in the hands of
stockholders until they filed income
tax returns in 1888.
Amendment Explained.
The amendment, Hill said, will, In
effect. require corporations to antici-
pate last-quarter earnings and declare
out dividends during the last quarter
without actual figures on income for
the period.
But. he explained, If dividends
should exceed earnings, a corporation
could obtain tax credits In the next
year, or the one thereafter, for the ex-
cess.
The committee also agreed to sub
NIT an amendment to provide a softer
cushion for corporations with deficits
The bill now would provide that
corporations with a deficit should pay
a 221a per cent tax on the amount of
earnings necessary to make up the
deficit, the remainder of the earn
ings being taxed under graduated
rates that would apply to corporate
income in general.
The committee agreed to suggest
reducing the 2212 per cent to Is per
cent.
Another Change Likely.
Still another change to be proposed,
Hill said, is in reference to foreign
corporations which will be required
to hold back a 10 per cent tax on
dividends to nonresident alien stock
holders.
The bill now provides for such a
Withholding tax where the corporation
derives rs per cent or more of its in
come from sources within the United
States. The committee, Hill said, de-
cided to suggest that the withholding
tax be required only when corporations
obtain IS per cent or more of their
earnings from American sources.
Speaker Byrns said at his press con-
ference it was possible vote could be
reached on the bill by tomorrow night.
He added he did not look for many
Republican amendments since they
have indicated they do not under
stand the measure and consequently

TSARIST DEBT
SETTLEMENT IS
BRITISH GOAL
10 Pct. Payment Plan Is
Based on Projected Loan
to Soviets

LONDON, Feb. 70. (UP)-
British private creditors of Tsar-
lst Russia will be reimbursed to
the extent of 10 per cent Of their
sl,25O,0OO,000 claims if plans re-
ported as now under consideration
by the British government mater
ialize.
A majority Of the creditors are
holders of bonds of companies
which owned railroads before the
Russian revolution. Others pos
sess Russian municipal bonds.
The plan to pay to creditors 10
per cent on their claims depends
upon the fate of the proposed
British loan to the Soviet govern
ment. Moscow, however, insists
that part satisfaction Of British
creditors shall in no way be con-
nected directly with the proposed
loan and must not involve Soviet
recognition of demands of credit
ors Of the Tsarist regime.
In the face of this, it is propos-
ed that the British government it.
self pay $l25,000,00O to these
creditors. Financing of the prof
ect, as contemplated, would be
to grant a loan TO the Soviet of
from S100,000,000 to $2OO,OOO,-
600. The interest rate, not def
nitely fixed would not exceed j
per cent.
In return for this loan it is
proposed that the Soviet rcnouncc

100000 which belonged to the
Tsarist royal house and which
was deposited in British banks,
One London financial house holds
35,00G,000, and another $40,-
100000 is distributed among 9th
er London banks. There is an in
formal understanding between
Great Britain and the Soviet that
this money may be disposed Of
only with the consent of both gov
ernmentS.
Besides acquiring these millions
for the twofold purpose of financ-
ing a loan to Moscow and giving
10 per cent compensation TO Brit
ish creditors of the Tsarist re-
gime, the British treasury would
float a public loan internally,
probably as 9 1-2 per cent. If the

could be applied to creditors
