Price Control
Put Ahead Of
Taxes in House
frightened Measure
to Be Offered Today
After Committee Revolt
BY GRHFING BANCROFT
Iut'I News Service stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. T. Re-
newed pressure for a drastically
frightened price control bill was
expected today to follow the revolt
of the House ways and means COM
mittee in turning down a treasury
proposal for immediate considera-
ton of a new $4,000, 900, 900 tax
bill.
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
Igenthau had urged immediate,
heavy new taxes. stressing his be-
lief that by this means great sums
could be drawn out of circulation,
thus reducing the national buying
power and curbing the inflationary
trend.
He conceded that the price
control bill in its present form.
forbidding any ceiling on wages
and limiting farm ceilings to BOOM
year levels, would not effectively
curb the spectre of unbridled in
flation.
PRICE CONTROL FIRST
After two days of secret hear
ings with the secretary, both at
the treasury and on Capitol Hill.
the committee gave notice that IL
would decline to consider taxation
as an inflationary curb at least
until the price control bill was
passed by the House.
Although they declined to be
quoted. both Democratic and Re-
publican members said they felt
strongly that the administration
should tighten the price control
bill before seeking TO hold down
prices merely by taking all the
money away from every one"
These members said also that
they themselves will offer amend
ments TO the bill so as to tighten
wage and farm controls. If the
administration fails to do so.

RELEASES SUPPLIES

Announcement of the American
offer was deliberately timed to
coincide with RusSia's celebration
of the twenty-fourth anniversary
of the October revolution.
The President also notified
Stain that he has approved re-
lease of all American military
equipment and munitions which it
was decided at the recent Moscow
conference should. be sent TO
Russia.
Neutral diplomatic quarters in
Washington expressed keen inter-
est in the fact that President
Roosevelt told Stain the Soviet
government would not have TO
start repaying the billion dollar
credit until five years after the
end of the war. and would then
have 10 years in which to COM
plete the payments.

he made a bad miscalculation.
Despite temporary reverses
the army and navy heroically are

IN BETTER POSITION
There was a time when the
country was I'm a still more diff
cult position. I recall the year
1918. At that time three-fourths
of the country was in the hands
of foreign interventionists.
"Our country now is i'm a far

There is no serious shortage of

spirit OF Lenin before US we
can and must gain victory.
Germany bleeds. The spirit
of revolt is gaining possession
not only Of the occupied coun-
tries, but of Germany itself.
THE Germans are straining
their last forces. There Is no
doubt that Germany cannot sus-
tain such a strain long. Another
few months, perhaps one year,

own crimes.
