U. s. COLLECTIONS
3l.2 P. E. AHEAD
Income Tax Receipts More
Than F. D. R. Estimated,
Morgenthau Says

WASHINGTON, March 21.-LRE
Secretary Morgenthau said toda!
that preliminary estimates Of an
nual income tax collections were
running 31.2 per cent ahead o
last year and Comfortably ahead
of President Roosevelt's budget es-
innate.
The treasury secretary said at a
press conference that Geographic
results from regional collection Of
fices showed collection Of 1921 1000
900 of income taxes in the first 20
days of March, compared with
sA73, 900, 900 in the same period last
year.
March collections are always the
biggest for income taxes because
annual returns and at least first
quarter installment payments are
due on March Is. .
Morgenthau declined to say by
what margin the collections Woulo
exceed budget estimates, which are
made only on an annual and not a
monthly basis, but added that there
was mot a chance of the excess
equally the $46G, 000, 900 of addition
al revenue asked by the President
to pay for emergency national de-
Tense costs and to help keep the
treasury under it's S45, 00O, 600, 900
statutory debt limit.
. Asked whether he still favored
new taxes despite comments Of
leading congressman that the high
er tax collections obviated the need
for new taxes, the secretary as
serted:
"In words of one syllable, ]
stand on the Presidents message
until he change it."
He added that he had no reason
to believe that the President would
withdraw his request for new
taxes.
At the same time, Morgenthau
repudiated proposals to use some
of the 50, 900, 900, 900 in the treas
ury's Sterilization fund to avoid
the debt limit.
"I certainly am not going to use
the sterilization fund or any other
trick method to avoid the debt
limit the treasury head said.
ut is strictly up to congress and
if they vote to spend money which
will exceed the limit, it is up to
them 70 do something about the
limit.
mot Important"
II don't think the $45, 900. 900, 900
limit is very important. There is
no reason why it should not be 46,
Al or 4S billion dollars. I would not
worry if it was $50. 000, 900, 900.
But it should be done in an
open way, legal way by congress-"
Also, Morgenthau said, he does
not regard avoidance of the debt
limit a Justifiable use of the stabi-
lization fund, which he termed a
nest egg to be used in some
"unforseen national emergency"
I'm this crazy world" he con.
.inued, 1.-The time may come when
We will get down on our knees and
thank God that we've got this nest
egg to use in an emergency"
Returning to March income taxes,
M%orgenthau commented that the
early collection figures might appear
a little better than they actually
are because Of the possibility that
approximately 1000, 900 state and To-
cal governmental employees, paying
federal taxes on their salaries, for
the first time, may have paid all
their annual tax at this time, in
stead of taking advantage Of the
quarterly i~nstallments permitted.
After getting the news on taxes,
Morgenthau decided to take a vaca-
ton of a week to ten days at Sea
Island, Ga. He will depart tonight.
