In his annual compilation of the

100000, and that after deducting
American payments to foreign
steamship companies and other

owed the United States s965 900 900

was paid for out of metal shipments.
In addition, foreigners made $43O,-
100000 of capital investments here,
for which they shipped gold, leaving
an unexplained item of $469 ,OO0, 90
which foreigners paid the United

Freezing Of Pension
Tax Seen Certain
Al This Session
Skipping Of Next Years
Increase Would Cut
Payments $500, ,000, 900

Tax relief" through a freezing IF
old-age insurance taxes at their
present l per cent rate on both en-
ployers and employees is looked on
as virtually certain in the present
session of Congress, it was reported
on Capitol Hill today as the House
Ways and Means Committee speed
ed its preparations for legislation on
this subject.
The Government now collects
per cent from employers and l per
cent from employees on compensa-
ton up to $4,000 a year. Under the
law, the rate would go up to liz per
cent in 1910, 2 per cent in 1943, 2l2
in 1916 and in 1949.
100000, 900 Reduction.
BY skipping next years increase,
committee members said, there
would be a reduction of upward of
$780, 100000 in the prospective tax
burdens of persons covered by the
Social Security Act and their en-
ployers.
If business is looking for tax re-
lief" one member said, 1T certainly
looks as if we're going to give them
a sizable chunk of it,"
Although the House committee al
ready has voted not to extend bene-
fits OF social security to additional
millions of citizens this year, it is
expected to recommend starting old
age insurance payments next Janu-
airy instead of in 1912 as the law now
provides.
Almost certain to appear in the
Senate is a flood of amendments,
including proposals for a Federal
old-age pension system.
Tentative Agreement.
The House committee has decided
tentatively that persons who have
reached IS without making none
tary contributions to the social Sc
curity program should be denied
Federal old-age insurance payments.
In effect, they said, individuals
now paying the old-age taxes are
putting money into their own re-
tirement accounts and the money
could not be used justly to pay
benefits to persons who have made
no contributions.
Senator Barkley the Democratic
leader, said the House was expected
to initiate not only the bill to freeze
old-age insurance taxes at the pres
ent level, but other measures to con-
unue so-called nuisance taxes and
to extend corporation levies.
This will put up to the Senate
the proposition, which Treasury Of
hclais have been studying, of re-
Vlslng the corporate tax structure by
Wlplng out the excess profits levy
and writing a new single graduated
tax on corporations.

Wallace Opposes Plan
To Subsidize Butter
By thc Assoc;oted pra.

oS Inc associated Press.
Secretary Wallace said yesterday
the Agriculture Department had
been asked by the dairy industry to
subsidize exports of surplus butter
to bolster domestic prices.
The Secretary told his press con-
ference he was opposed to the re-
quest. which was made by officials
OF the National Cooperative Milk
Producers Federation.
If we are to pay subsidy to move
surplus butter into consumption, 1
believe our own consumers should
receive the benefit" he said.
Mr.. Wallace said officials of the
federation had asked that the dairy
industry be given the same consid-
Grafton as cotton and wheat. The
administration is now subsidizing
exports of wheat and proposes to
pay a bounty on cotton sold abroad.
He explained that in the case of
wheat and cotton, the United States
was contriving to hold fair share"
OF world markets it had helped sup
ply for many years.
In the case of butter, We have
sold very little abroad" he said. To
subsldize exports of butter would be
to engage in dumping-a practice
which the administration opposes. 4"

Effects Of Arms Race
Declared Unsound
By Bank Leader
Normal Production
Upset, Says Chief
Of Association
BY the Associated Press.

FRENCH LICK. Ind, April 27.-
Arms manufacture supplies a poor
permanent basis for international
trade, both from the standpoint of
the buyer and the seller" w. F..
Gephart, president of the Bankers
Association for Foreign Trade, SAID
at the 18th annual meeting here
today.
1T is bad purchase for the buyer
because he is using his nations
wealth uneconomically in buying
non-reproductive goods - that is,
war materials" he explained.
1T is bad for the seller because
he is diverting capital and labor 70
highly specialized production and
disorganizing the normal industri Il
machinery.
Labor is only temporarily en-
ployed and after the war this labr
must seek employment in the nor
NAL channels of peacetime activity
Likewise, the capital used in NUM-
ton production earns a negative re-
production fund and in only limited
cases can the capital goods it repre-
sents be transformed or used for the
production of peacetime products.
Gephart, vice president of the
First National Bank in st. Louis.
told the association barter, as l.,
now being practiced so widely, is a
poor substitute for normal interna-
tional trading"
1t is only bilateral trading he
said. 1T is semi-monopoly and not
a free and competitive exchange of
goods
International trade, ne told the
bankers, lis as fundamental a neces-
sity for modern civilization as is any
one OF its other elements"
Unless one assumes that modern
civilization is going to collapse COM
pletely,' he said, "one need not fear
that international trade is to disap-
pear, even though it may require
considerable patience in this inter
val Of its eclipse"

Auto Output Likely
To Maintain Pace
In Coming Month
Active Retuil Demand
Indicates Decline
Is improbable
BY the Associated Press.

by tne associated Press.
DETROIT, April 27.-The makers
of motor cars are withholding an.
nouncement of production schedules
for next month, but there are many
indications, chiefly continued active
retail demand. that the assembly
lines will turn out approximately as
many cars in May as were put to-
gether during April.
Final figures for the current
month are expected to aggregate
about 100000 cars and trucks, bring
ing the total since the beginning of
the year to around 100000 units
This will be approximately half
million more units than were con-
structed during the like period of
1898.
Field reports to the manufac-
turers' sales executives tell of gen.
orally satisfactory condition uf
dealers stocks with supplies in many
instances lower than they were at
this time year ago. But for the
uncertainty regarding consumer de-
mand throughout the summer, say
most of the sales executives, there
would have been no occasion for re-
adjusting factory schedules at the
end of last month.
These .readjustments apparently
were decided upon not because of
any overstocking, but to keep as
semblies in closer relation to retail
sales. Barring marked drop in
retail demand for new units, say the
leading observers in the industry,
continuance of the current level of
output appears assured.
The production and distribution
showing thus far this year has been
far from discouraging, although
slightly under what the producers
expected when they swung into
assemblies of the 1889 models. Inso-
far as volume of production for the
calendar year is concerned, they
point out that it continues sharply
above that of last year, and will be
further augmented by the initial
production of new models next
autumn.
Specula ting on the probable total
output of cars and trucks for the
1899 calendar year, most trade OBJ
servers and statistical agencies are
holding to the 100000 figure ad-
vanced by a number of manufac-
turers earlier this year. Last years
total assemblies were 2,655,777 cars
and trucks.

$400,000,000F Fund
For Farm Parity
Seen Probable
House Members Soy
Roosevelt Would Not
Object to Plan
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Three House members reported
after a White House conference yes
telday that President Roosevelt
would not object if Congress appro-
priated $4o0,ooo,oo0 for farm parity
payments and removal Of surplus
crops, in addition to s5OO,OOO, 900 al
ready approved by the House for
benefit payments under the soil
conservation program.
They added, however, that Mr..
Roosevelt believed Congress should
provide taxes to cover any increase
above the S500,00O,0O figure.
The House recently refused by IA
votes to add $250,O0O 900 for parity
payments to the $685., 900, 900 Agri-
culture Department supply bill. The
Dill is now before the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee and in
formed persons said this committee
would insert the s250,OOO,O fund
and add another sl50,00O,OO0 to
nnance the disposition of crop sur
pluses at home and abroad.
Parity payments are designed to
raise the purchasing power repre-
sented in farm products to the 1909
IA level. Congress appropriated
$2l2 100000 for this purpose last
year.
Representative Ferguson. Demo-
crat, of Oklahoma. one of the White
House callers, said he gained the
impression Mr. Roosevelt would not
veto the s4O0, 100000 item although
he expected the House Ways and
Means Committee to raise an equiva-
lent amount Of revenue.
Representative Cooley, Democrat,
'of North Carolina, another men,
Der of the group, said the President
told them he would not veto a
processing tax if Congress decided
to raise the money by that method,
but added that he was not promot-
ing it. Such levy was once in
validated by the Supreme Court.
Representative johnson, Demo-
crat, of Oklahoma. the third men,
Der, said the administration believed
continuance of a number of small
miscellaneous taxes which expire
July ! would provide most of the
increased revenue, but that "a spe-
clal note" might be sent to the
Ways and Means Committee remind
ing it of revenue needs.
We came away feeling very well
pleased about the prospects for the
$3.50 900, 900 fund and there appar-
emily won't be any opposition, either,
to the other sl50,o0o,000," Repre-
sentative johnson said.
