Taft's principal objection 10 the

Drastic Limit
on War Profit
Will Support Any
Practical Plan

Washington, Apr. 6-AP-Sena-
tor McNary OF Oregon. the minority
leader, swung powerful Republi-
can support today behind senatorial
effort to write drastic limitations
on war profits into a Sl9,2l9 100000
military appropriations bill.
Declaring that he would support
any workable scheme TO cut of
excessive profits in military pro-
duction plants. McNary said he
was confident other Republicans in
the Senate felt the same way and
would give wholehearted backing
TO pending proposals.
I've don't run wars TO make mil
llonaires,' he told reporters.
Special significance was attached
to McNary's statement OF the min
ority viewpoint, since a profit lint
tation proposal approved Saturday
by the Appropriations Committee
was scheduled to be presented To
the Senate today in such way
that a two-thirds vote might be
necessary TO attach it to the pend
ing military bill
Striking down flat six per cent
limitation previously approved by
the House, the Senate committee
voted to authorize the presentation
OF a comprehensive amendment
under which industry would be al
lowed profits ranging from 10 per
cent on the first 100000 Of war
contracts down to two per cent on
all above S50.0O0.000.
While the House provision was
limited solely 10 future contracts
to be made on funds provided with
in the bill, the Senate committee
decided TO broaden the proposal
to include all war orders past, pres
ent and future. except those on
which the government already had
made final payments.
While McNary said he had not
yet familiarized himself with all
the details OF the committee
proved amendment, he felt the prin-
ciple was workable.
Likewise Democrat'c Leader
Barkley OF Kentucky said he
thought the amendment was salts
factory, although Senators O'Ma-
honey (D-Wyo) and Overton ID
La made known their intention
Of offering a substitute, which tn.
committee rejected Saturday by al
s 10 8 tie vote
The substitute proposal would
leave the responsibility OF fixing
final profits with the war and
Navy Departments and the Mari.
time Commission. which would be
authorized TO renegotiate contracts
on which they found excessive Pre-.
fits were being made or excessive
costs charged.
