Feeling there has been discrim.

Association by local hospitals, Of
ficials of the association today
invited hospital officials to attend
a meeting tomorrow night in an
effort to iron out differences.
R. T. Berry, secretary of the as

is possible and will be achieved.
1t was reported that, in event
the hospitals decline to cooperate
with the association, steps would
be taken to build a group health
hospital.
Berry said, however, that no
plans have been made along that
lime, and that he believes the hos.
pitals will gladly cooperate with
the association.

Wood Urges Increased Tax
On Liquor Instead of Beer

barrel on beer. During hearings
on the tax bill, it was brought to
the attention of the committee
that at the present time there is
no local tax on beer.
Mr.. Wood also stated that he
was convinced that the committee
would be unanimous in reporting
out an income tax for Washington,
the rate to be decided on the basis
of the amount that may be col
lected in revenue. He approved the
proposal of the Washington Com
mittee on Fair Taxation for frac-
tional tax, based on the amount
paid in Federal income taxes.
The tax committee, Mr.. Wood
said further. is considering a pro-
posal to exempt from the income
tax all members of Congress and
their secretaries, who, in many in
stances, he said, are now paying a
State income tax in addition to the
Federal income tax.

said. ito levy a third tax on in

drew J. May CD of Kentucky.

sons whose income Is less than

BY JULIA A. BONWIT

An increased tax on distilled
spirits instead of the proposed tax
on beer was recommended today
by Representative Reuben T. Wood
Cd of Missouri, a member of the
House District Fiscal Affairs sub.
In view of the fact" he said,
chat the tax on hard liquor is
as low as it is, I would prefer
to raise this tax instead Of levy
ing a tax on beer"
Mr.. Wood said he would pro
pose the increased liquor tax to
the fiscal affairs subcommittee,
which may meet tomorrow to
begin re-drafting the new District
revenue bill.
He said he would make no
recommendation as to a liquor tax
rate until he had studied the mat
ter further. At the present time
the District levies a tax of Sc
cents on each gallon of liquor.

FOREIGN LOANS
BY U. S. DROP

A steady decrease in payments
to American investors from their
ventures in foreign fields has been
going on since 1929 and sharp
drop has taken place in the
amount of American investments
and loans abroad.
The Brookings Institution, in an
exhaustive 710-page report re-
leased yesterday, made these and
other revelations regarding Ameri-
can-foreign financial dealings.
The report, compiled by Cleona
Lewis and Karl T. Schlotterbeck,
is designated Americas State in
International Investments"
Foreign payments since 1929 on
loans and investments held in this
country had dropped to So per
cent of the 1929 amount, excluding
payments on war debts. Inclusion
of war debt payments would still
further reduce the percentage of
payments, it was said.
Loans and direct investments
abroad of Americans, it was said,
dropped from $4,000, 100000 in
1929 to $3.50 100000 at present.
Although foreign investments have
increased somewhat in the United
States, their growth was not re-
garced as particularly significant.

PRESIDENT ACTS
TO ALLAY"FEAR"
OF BUSINE ESS
No More Legislation on
Trade ForeSeen
BY GEORGE DURNO

U.N.S.) BY a series Of cooper
ative and placating statements
and actions, President Roosevelt
is seeking to impress upon the
business and financial world that
it has no further experimentation
to fear from the Administration
during this session Of Congress.
White House aides waited today
for reaction to the Chief Execu-
tive's statement that he had no
new legislative proposals in mind.
If business accepts this utterance,
it can. rest assured Mr.. Roosevelt,
for instance, will not suggest re-
vision of the antitrust laws at this
time.
"BREATHING SPELL"
In short, as International News
Service reported on February II,
the President has instituted an
other breathing spell" without
making a formal declaration.
Rather, he has outlined hic inten-
tions in the series of White House
conferences with industrial and
financial leaders which are con-
tinuing.
The President was much en-
couraged by the cooperative spirit
Of the big auto finance companies
in agreeing to his suggestions de-
signed to eliminate "high-pres-
sure" auto salesmanship and put a
more sensible limit on installment
buying. This agreement, an
nounced by Senator Brown CD
of Michigan, developed from o
White House conference.
Industrialists who at en- d d
other assemblies in the Presidents
office are understood to be work
ing among themselves to bring
forward similar reports.
STUDY CONTINUED
Mr.. Roosevelt Is continuing his
study Of monopolistic practices,
he said, and some time before
Congress adjourns he intends to
send a message on the subject,
Word has been circulated among
business leaders, however, that all
the President will suggest is q
study of weaknesses in the Sher.
man and Clayton antitrust laws
that might be remedied at the
next session.
The only critical note the Presi-
dent has struck in weeks came at
yesterdays press conference con-
cerning small business" - and
that criticism was indirect and
mild compared to blasts Of earlier
days at the big interests.
100000 F,a~.n csooro1o,,z oR FSoS,a
merce Roper concerning the re-
cent chaotic conference Of small
business man was summarized by
the President. Outstanding, Roper
found, after examining 1900 sep
arate proposals to aid the little
fellows, that any idea of self-help
was well-nigh lacking in their
recommendations.
The Washington times., 1938-03-02
FEAR WIDESPREAD

While giving these as his per
sonal views Flanders presented q
report of the business advisory
council concluding:
1.-THE unwillingness to spend
and the fear to invest is very
widespread phenomenon held
by hundreds of thousands of
individuals, rather than being a
result of the fears or malev-
olence of q small financial
group"
While the low interest rate pol
icy emphasized by the Government
is wise, beneficial effects of "easy
money" have been offset by ''hob
bies" placed on business by the
Administration, Flanders said.
