Senate May Receive
Proposal for Increase
In Corporation Taxes
10Ooo Excess Profits Levy
With Rebate After War
Is Suggested
p, the Associated Press.

p, the Associated Press.
The Senate Finance Committee
may be asked to consider linking
postwar rebates with an increase in
excess profits taxes to 100 per cent
and a boost in other corporation
levies to so per cent, an influential
Democratic member said today.
This member, who refused to be
quoted by name, said it was likely
such a proposal would be laid be-
fore the committee after 1t COM
pletes public hearings on the House
approved $6,27l 100000 tax bill.
Hearings will begin tomorrow, with
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau expected to renew before the
Senate group recommendations for
administrative changes and addl-
tional taxes which would raise the
bills total by $4,000 100000 to meet
his revised revenue recommended
tions.
In passing the measure Monday,
the House voted to make the excess
profits tax 90 per cent and declined
to lower other corporation taxes
from the As per cent its Ways and
Means Committee originally had
recommended to the 40 per cent 1t
subsequently suggested.
The proposal to increase these
rates to 100 per cent and so per cent,
the Senate committee member said,
probably would be accompanied with
a system of comprehensive deduc-
tions which would soften the long
range effect on business.
These might include, he said, pro-
vision for corporations to invest a
portion of their earnings in nom
negotiable, non interest bearing
bonds which would become payable
after the war. He said the question
of allowing deductions for the
amortization of debts and for pay
ment of life insurance premiums
also would be studied.
It was pointed out that the result
of such a program might make the
long tax on excess profits only
30 per cent and the similar normal
and surtax levies only SO or 40 per
cent.
While the Treasury thus would re-
ceive practically the full amount of
all excess profits in the form of i'm
mediate revenue, it would have to
pay back about 20 per cent after
the war when corporations might
need a backlog to meet depressed
conditions.

It's proceedings for the day. it issued
this official statement:
seThe commission concluded its
direct examination of one OF the
accused.
"The remainder of the session was
devoted to the cross-examination OF
this accused. ..
The commission adjourned at
4:32 pm. The trial will be resumed
at 10 am. tomorrow"
Although the last communique
said the commission adjourned at
4::32 pm, it did not reach the press
room on the same floor the trial Is
being held until $40. Reporters
scurried around to find out why.
Investigation showed that most all
of those participating in the trial

Hoover, director of the FBI, and

cution and defense staff were still
in the courtroom. Mr.. Hoover left

of them went into his Office, pre-
sumably for conference.
Documents Taken Out.
Meantime. Justice Department
messengers wheeled out of the court
room on small conveyors a mass OF
documents-law books, codes Of law

Britain Won I Repeat
Debt Errors After
War, Simon Says
international Tax to Poy
For Conflict Proposed
By Lord Perry
Bs the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 22.-Viscount ST.
mon, lord chancellor, told the House
of Lords today he had heard no
whisper of any intention on the
part of Great Britain to return to
the gold standard after the war.
In answer to question, the lord
chancellor said, Our return to the
gold standard after the last war was
not q very happy one"
He asserted that attempts to
transfer vast sums-presumably in
war debt payments-from one coun-
try 20 another as a result of war
inf1ict harm equally on payer and
payee.
Il can say with the govern
ment's authority" he added. that
it is the determination of the gov
ernment that these tragic errors
shall not be repeated"
Cites Roosevelt Statement.
Lord Simon said President Roose-
welt had similar statement in his
fifth lend-lease report to Congress
on June II when he said that mo
nation will grow rich from the war
effort of it's allies"
This statement, Lord Simon said
provided a firm and solid basis for
cooperation with the United States
in winning the peace"
During the debate Lord Perry
suggested the creation of some form
of international taxation so pos
terity would not be bequeathed this
enormous debt we are mourning"
Peace is worth buying" Lord
Perry asserted. 1--WE will pay the
price for it, and share it with the
world, but it is only common sense
and justice that the world should
help pay that price. Therefore, the
government should consider forth
with how that price could be CAPT.
talized in international terms. Just
as we service our debt by taxation,
international taxation is a perfectly
feasible thing
Air Corporation Urged.
IF this could be accomplished,
and the cost of the war or por-
ton of it reimbursed to the victor
powers and not to the vanquished,
any debt service collected by inter
national taxation will have to be
paid by the vanquished as we'll as
by other international participants.
And we shall then succeed in col
lecting from the defeated powers
such reparations as they can pay
and as we are prepared to accept
because it will be tax on inter-
national transactions in which they
may not indulge except to our
mutual advantage"
Lord Strabolgi suggested the
establishment of postwar inter-
national aviation corporation to be
owned and managed by the vic
! tors.
