u. 5. Financial System
Doomed if Axis Wins,
Prof. Keynes Warns
British Economist Says
America Must Guard
Against War Initiation
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 8.-Prof. John
M. Keynes, British economist, said
today the financial system of this
country and England could not
function as it does now" If the
Axis powers won the war.
Not only would Americas normal
relationship with Europe's financial
system be cut, but in the event
of an Axis victory I cannot even
imagine normal relations between
the United States and South Amer
ica," he said on his arrival aboard
Pan American Airways' Atlantic
clipper.
Sent here by Sir Kingsley Wood,
chancellor of the exchequer, to talk
about some of the operations of the
Lease-Lend Act" with United States
Treasury and financial officials, the
British economist said the posi-
bility of initiation in this country
provided the war lasted another
two years or more-Would have to
be watched Carefully"
The United States has got a
more important job than we" he
continued. When a country is at
war all sorts of regulations and
interference are accepted We our
selves accept things now that We
wouldn't have accepted few years
ago. You've got to take time in
democracy-things have TO be done
by stages"
Advises Compulsory Savings.
He said that Germany had stopped
initiation dead" and that England
had stopped it largely" citing the
post Office compulsory savings plan
as means of controlling it.
I'VE will open an account in every
mans name and at the end of each
year We will advise him how much
is in the account he said, deScrib-
ing the plan. AT the end of the war
that money will be unblocked. The
blocked savings will not provide.

movement. Mr.. KatZ also testified
yesterday he would prefer to see the
local suffrage issue taken out and
dealt with as separate legislation.
Mr.. Lesh suggested if the sub
committee decides the proposal to
delegate any or all" congressional
power to a local government is too
broad, it could modify it to provide
for the delegation of such powers
as Congress may determine to be
consistent with the national interest.
While answering questions of
Chairman McCarran, Mr.. Lesh pre-
viously had expressed the opinion
that Congress at present could dele
gate very full" municipal powers to
the local government to the good
of the District.
II am glad to hear you say that,
because that is in conformity with
my view Senator McCarran OBJ
served.
Il do believe in the retention of
ultimate control by the Nation over
the Nations Capital" said Mr..
Lesh. Il am a citizen of the United
States before l am resident of the
District, but there are many details
Congress could turn over to the local
government.
Defends Referendum Figure.
Defending the size of the turn
out in favor of both national rep
resentation and local suffrage in the
unofficial referendum of 1888, which
had been minimized by earlier wit
nesses, Mr.. Lesh recalled that more
than $1,000 persons voted for ma
tional representation and only 6,832
against it. In that referendum, he
said, 80 per cent of the adult popula-
ton turned out to vote on the
abstract proposition, although there
were no candidates to draw voters
to the polling booths. In last years
presidential election, he said, with

Plan 10 Boost Taxes
On Tobacco Attacked
By 300 Growers
EccIes Offers Proposal
Affecting Better Paid
Wage Eurner Group
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Three hundred tobacco growers
jammed the House Ways and Means
Committee room today to protest
that proposed increases In tobacco
taxes would single them out for "un-
just" tax treatment.
A spokesman, j. c. Lanier of
Greenville, N. c., asked that levies
be made on coffee, tea and golf
balls before further increases are
made in the taxes on cigarettes,
manufactured tobacco and cigars.
The farmers. he said, would be
hardest hit by any new tobacco i'm
posts
Mr.. Lanier, saying that he was a
World War veteran, declared that
tobacco growers were 100 per cent
behind" the defense aid efforts, of
which the proposed tobacco tax in
creases would be a part, but urged
that all farmers of all commodities
be treated alike.
Eccles Submits Proposal.
With the backing of 20 House
members from tobacco States, Mr.
Lanier urged that Congress reject
the Treasury's proposal to boost the
cigarette tax to cents per pack of
20 from the present 6la cents and
the doubling of rates on cigars and
manufactured tobacco. The cigar
taxes range from IS cents to $3.50
per thousand and the manufactured
tobacco levy is 18 cents per pound.
Also before the committee was a
plan designed, among other things,
to increase the number OF income
taxpayers in the bitter-paid wage
Garner group.
Proposed by Chairman Mariner
S. Eccles of the Federal Reserve
Board the plan would lower exemp-
tions for married couples to $500
from the present $4,000 and the
credit for dependents to $500 from
s40O but would moderate a sched-
ule of new high income surtaxes rec
commended by the Treasury.
Mr.. Eccles and Leon Henderson,
price control administrator, in
dorsed the Treasury's goal of So
500,000,000 new revenue when they
appeared before the committee yes
terday, but both took issue with some
details of the Treasury program.
Both also asked greater emphasis
on the excess profits tax and excise
taxes on such durable goods as auto
mobiles. refrigerators and radios.
Both urged that there be no new
excises on articles and services not
competing for materials and labor
with the defense program.
How Plans Compare.
The Federal Reserve Board chair
man estimated that his income tax
program would produce S1200000.-
600 as against 81 ,520.0000 900 for the
Treasury's, but he recommended that

The figures in the first three columns are

figures in column not yet available in age
groups, Mr. Lesh applied the 1880 percentages of
those 81 years and to the 1910 total returns.
He testified that he used the high estimate of
125000 absentee voters in Washington in 1910 in
order that his final results could not be questioned.

to let him vote here than to have

He likes to be an example to young

He never drinks liquor or smokes, doesn't
even touch tea or coffee. but he is
credited with having written into the
1882 Democratic platform the plank for
repeal of the prohibition amendment.

His advice to the young is fortnight:

The Mayor is married and has one
son, Frank, jr, member of the Court
of Errors and Appeals and an adopted
daughter Gov. Edison also is married,
has no children.
Since 1919 when he tackled the ex-
listing Democratic State leadership and
