HOUSE GROUP
ACTS TO KILL
PRESENT LEVY
Substituted PrOgram
Is Agreed On

tTN.S) In its most important
action to date, the House Ways and
Means Tax Subcommittee today
tentatively agreed to substitute an
entirely new corporate tax struc-
ture for the present normal cor.
porate and undistributed profits
taxes.
In making the announcement,
Chairman Vinson CD of Ken.
lucky said the new tax program
would "be particularly helpful to
hardship cases where money Is
needed for debt payment, plant
expansion and repair of capital
structure" 1t would, he said, re-
move "the objection that big cor
porations pay excessive rates."
OUTLINE OF PLAN
The proposal, as outlined by
Vinson, follows:
l. For corporations having net
incomes of less than $4,000 an.
nually, the rates would be 121s per
cent up to the first $4,000; IA per
cent on the next $4,000, with all
corporations with net incomes of
less than $4,000 exempted from
the undistributed profits tax. This
embraces about 88 per cent of all
corporations having net incomes.
2. For corporations having net
incomes of more than $25 900 an
nually, there would be imposed a
top corporate rate of 20 per cent.
With uniformly graduated reduc-
ton of 40 of l per cent for each
10 per cent of income distributed,
until a minimum rate of Is per
cent has been reached.

BRITAIN SEEKS
DEBT ACCORD
IN WAR SCARE
Intent to Borrow
More Is Seen

A new move for settlement Of
Great Britain's $4,715,310, 900 war
debt to the United States was be-
ing speeded in London today as
high officials saw a new threat to
world peace in the strained rela-
tionS between Japan and Russia.
Word from London indicated
the British government would do
everything in its power to induce
the United States to accept its
"dime on the dollar" settlement
plan.
The move for settlement seemed
based principally on Britain's anxi-
ETY. to find some way of cir
cumventing the johnson act,
which not only bars defaulting ma
tionS from financing operations in
the American investment market,
but also prevents further loans by
the United States to any country
defaulting on its debt payments.
MAY NEED WAR CASH
In the event of a war embroiling
Great Britain, the British are an
xious to be in a position to borrow
from this country. The johnson
act would prevent any loans unless
some sort Of settlement had been
effected.
Although no definite negotia-
tions have been entered into, Great
Britain, fearing that she may be-
come involved in war if condi-
tions in the Far East and the Medi-
terranean become aggravated, has
been spreading the doctrine that
she would resume token payments
if she were exempted from the
johnson act.
U. s. BARS EVASION
In Washington, official quarters
were emphatic in their Stipula-
tions that token payments would
in no way serve to circumvent the
act, despite the fact this country
would welcome any kind of cash
payment on the debt.
Britain's last payment was on
December Is, 1888, a token pay
ment Of $7,5OO,OOO. Her accrued
defaulted payments total $751;
BIS, 800.
France, second largest borrower,
owes $4,230,777, 900. Her last pay.
ment was in June, 1881, when she
paid $2O,00O,OOO. The French de-
fault now totals $432, ,70O,85O.
Officials said the only way either
country could get around the
johnson Act would be by curing"
their defaults-that is, paying
them up in full.
