WASHINGTON = The behind
the-scenes struggle over taxes on
national defense orders, together
with the shutdown staged by Ger
tain manufacturers until taxes are
adjusted to suit them, is one of
the most important developments
in the Capital this summer.
1t is mixed story. Some bust
ness firms have been 100 percent
patriotic in their attempt to aid
national defense. On the other
hand, great many have not.
Some have been very much like
British and French munitions
firms in their procrastination over
vital war orders.
The story goes back to Novem-
Der 8, 1889, when John Hanes,
then Under Secretary of the Treas
ury, submitted confidential
memorandum to the President adj
vising that industry would have
to be giWn tax concessions if it
was to expand for national &C.
tense. Specifically Hanes pointed
out that airplane manufacturers
could not be expected to build new
plants to speed up production if,
after a year or two, the wa.
would be over and they would be
left with empty plants on their
hands.
So Hanes proposed that the cost
of these new plants be amortized
in relatively short time SO that
industry would not have to pay
taxes on them after the war
emergency was over.

MORGENTHAU's IDEA

Roosevelt approved this propo-
sal. But when the Hanes memoran-
dunn went back to Secretary OF the
Treasury Morgenthau, it ran into
stormy weather. In fact, this memo
was one of the things over which
Morgenthau and his Under Sec
rotary quarreled.
Hanes and Morgenthau both are
millionaires, both able men. But
Hanes, a director of the Glenn
Martin Aircraft Corporation, looks
at taxes more from the business
mans viewpoint, while Morgenthal
looks at taxes from the viewpoint
of collecting money to run the
Government.
Therefore, Morgenthau told Roo
sevelt that he would secure enough
factory expansion from the air.
