Roosevelt requested that exemp-

rejected. So it is up to the Senate
to correct this defect The gigan-
tic cost Of defense can only be met

fair share. Furthermore, if we are
to prevent runaway price imitation,
a curb must be placed on consumer

way to do that is to directly tax
those groups which are reaping
the richest harvest from the war
boom"

the sections of the bill dealing with
excess profits and corporation
taxes, need revision. At present,
certain classes of business are
heavily penalized, while other
classes, by comparison, are unduly
favored. Many fear that the bill
places almost ruinous tax burdens
