Economist Fears Conflict
Nav Be Forced on j. ).
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
NEW YORK, May 6.-Dr. Ralph
A. Young, associate professor OF
economics in the Wharton School
of Finance and Commerce, Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania. said yesterday
if general European hostilities
should break out, an actual state
of war" might be forced upon us,
just as it was in 1917"
Under existing legislation, with
the force of public opinion aggres-
sively opposed to the relationships,
it is probable that our vast re-
sources would add incalculably to
the power and endurance OF the
democracies, perhaps even turn the
scales in their favor" he declared.
This conclusion, of course. ignores
the possibility of successful light
ming attack forcing the swift capltu-
lation of the democracies.
"a sizeable portion of our indus
trial capacity would be diverted to
war uses, and a mild boom would
probably result. But along
with dubious advantages would go
grim disadvantages. - Finally,
there would be the constant ten
dency on our part to get more and
more deeply involved until an actual
state of war would be forced upon
us, just as it was in 1917"
Young and DR.. S. S. Huebner,
Wharton School professor OF In
surance and commerce, were speak
ers at a forum conducted by the
school here yesterday.
Huebner, commenting on securl-
ties prices, said the stock market
has substantially discounted the
war situation for the time being"

Local Tax Burdens
Feared if Security
Exemptions End
lutz Says Municipal
Interest Payments
Would Jump
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 6.-Abolition
OF tax exempt securities, as pro-
posed recently by President Roose-
velt, would impose heavy penalty
on local taxpayers, DR.. Harley L.
Lutz of Princeton University, con-
tended yesterday in an adress be-
fore the Municipal Bond Club.
DR.. Lutz, the university's pro-
fessor of public finance, asserted
his studies had brought him to the
conclusion that taxation of munich
pal securities would lead to an in
crease in municipal interest rates Of
90 points. He denied there was any
unusual concentration of these
bonds in the hands of the wealthy,
and challenged the widely held
theory that municipal tax exempts
afforded tax haven for rich in
VeStorS.
He contended that in the case
OF municipal bonds subject to Fed
eral taxation with a 3 per cent
interest rate, it would mean an in
crease in their financing costs Of
around 20 per cent. which could only
be met by increased local taxes.
This additional burden on States
and cities throughout the country"
he continued, might amount to as
much as s1l3,000,000 annually"
He also contended that most of
the States would have no op-
portunity to recoup this loss by
the taxation of Federal securities
because holdings of these are con-
centrated in a few of the more
prosperous States.
Should the proposed Federal tax
be enacted he predicted the burden
of increased annual interest costs
IN New York City alone would be
Sl4,293 900, the equivalent, on the
basis of the 1886 tax rate. to an
increase from s2714 to S2801 per
thousand"

trial groups which have publicly gone on
record as being unalterably opposed to
participation of the United States in the
present war is the Investment Bankers AS
ISOLATION, whose view was expressed at its

declared in an address: 81 wish to state
in unequivocal terms that investment
bankers abhor war and will work un-
remittingly to keep this nation at peace"
He also said that since industries
fundamental to the security of the country
will need funds to bring their equipment
to maximum efficiency, it is vital that the
capital markets be relieved of burdensome
impediments. 11A f1fE#

the capital markets included revision OF
