REPORT IS FILED
ON NPR0F|TSLEW
Survey of Manufacturers
Association Supports
Opposition to Tax.
BY HAROLD b. ROGERS.

The Capitals financial district has
taken fresh interest in the undistrib-
uted profits tax on business and en-
ployment as the results of national
survey just made public by the Ma
tionai Association of Manufacturers
were laid before the Treasury De-
partment
The ten general conclusions reached
out of the survey are interpreted as
supporting the original position of the
national association. which opposed
adoption of the tax as a potential de-
terrent to recovery.
This opposition was predicated on a
stall machinery replacement and plant
expansion, both needed as the result of
long years of obsoleScence and re-
trenchment during the depression. 1t
was also opposed because of the Spe-
cial burden it would impose on small
and medium sized companies which
lack working capital
The survey itself, entitled "Prac-
tical Effects of the UndiStributed
Profits Tax" is set forth in a volume
of SO pages, quoting at length from
many letters written to the national
association. Since the letters were of
a confidential nature, the names Of
the companies were retained in con-
fidence, and not disclosed in the public
document. The survey was made with
a view to assisting the Treasury pre-
pare notifications of the law If
changes are submitted to the next
session.
Sears, Roebuck & Co, which op-
crates retail stores here IN Washing
ton as part of its Nationwide mail
order and retail outlet business
shows sharp increase in profit in
the "a weeks ended July Is of this
year, as compared with the similar
period last year, according to reports
from the Chicago headquarters. On a
gain of ia per cent in sales, the
Companys net in the "a weeks this
year increased about 20 per cent tc
s15,190,441 from S12,634,285 in the
