The President several weeks ago
suggested it would be a good idea
to have a Fourth of July celebra-
tion here and the idea promptly
was indorsed by the Commissioners,
but since then Secretary Stimson
and officers charged with protection
of Washington have convinced the
President mass public celebration
would be inadvisable.
Announcement of today's action
by the Commissioners was given
at once to Lanier P. McLachlen,
president of the Board of Trade.

Nazis Tell Argentina
Torpedo Attack Was
Made Through Error
Germany Willing TO Pay
For Damaging Tonker
OFF U. S. Coost
Ry the Associated Press.

BUENOS AIRES, June II.
Germany has informed Argen-
tina that a German submarine
torpedoed the Argentina tanker
Victoria, damaged two months
ago off the coast of the United
States, but added that the attack
was an error, it was announced
today.
The German admission of re-
sponsibility was in reply to an
Argentine note of protest.
The 12,500-ton Victoria was hit
April II off Cape Hatteras and
abandoned by her crew, but later
was reboarded and brought to port.
The Foreign Office announced
that Berlin expressed profound
regret over the attack and ex-
pressed readiness to indemnify Ar
gentina for all damage.
The Argentine protest was made
after a United States naval exam
ination had revealed fragments of
a German torpedo. Previously Ar
gentine officials, apparently anxious
to avoid any friction that would
prejudice their country's neutrality,
had insisted the damage was prob
ably due to mine.

Nelson Opposes
.94Pct. Tax on
Excess Profits
WPB Chief Fears
Flat Levy Might
Curb War Output
Earlier Story on Page A-3D

2, tht Associated Press.
Chairman Donald Nelson of the
War Production Board expressed
opposition today to a fiat "a per
cent excess profits tax for cor
porations, contending it might
endanger the war production
program.
Mr. Nelson told Chairman
Doughton of the House Ways and
Means Committee, which already
has tentatively approved the "a per
cent rate. that if a tax higher than
80 per cent should be approved the
excess above that level should be
treated rs postwar credit. pref
erably in the form of a Govern
ment obligation with definite ma
turtles"
He told Chairman Doughton that
should the committee retain an eX-
cess profits rate above 80 per cent
without postwar credit, he strongly
urged through exploration of pos
sible exemptions" designed to en-
courage through preferential tax
treatment increased efficiency in
war production and savings in the
use of scarce resources.
Favors Heavy Taxation.
The WPB chiefs attitude was ex-
pressed in a letter made public by
Representative Doughton 1t said
that if the committee believed that
the total amount to be raised by
taxation of corporate profits were
to be increased greatly. Mr.. Nelson
would urge consideration of some
thing besides the "a per cent excess
profits rate-"ways that may ac-
complish the objectives with less in
reference with war production and
a less adverse effect on efficiency"
Possibly. Mr.. Nelson suggested,
the least Objectionable method might
be an increase of the combined nor
NAL and surtax corporate rate above
the 40 per cent which the commit
tee has adopted tentatively.
''I want to emphasize" he wrote
that share with your committee
the conviction that the war emer-
gency should not yield windfall
profits to any member of the COM
munity. I am, therefore. in full
sympathy with heavy taxation of all
incomes in accordance with the
principle of ability to pay.
Questions Flat Levy.
It question. however, the advis-
ability of a fat tax at the rate of "a
per cent on all corporate profits
above the exemption limits. In a
situation in which an enterprise is
left with only s6 out of $l00 of addi-
tional profits. the pressure to keep
costs down will diminish danger
ously. Such a tax is likely to result
in a reduction of efficiency in the
conduct of business and may even
endanger the full success of our war
production program.
The opportunity to retain por-
ton of the savings resulting from
greater efficiency has been e. most
important factor in securing more
economical utilization of our scarce
materials, facilities and manpower
for war production. 1t is essential
that we do not destroy this oppor-
tunity.
Il shall not venture to suggest ap-
propriate rates for an excess profits
tax. / am inclined to believe. how
ever, that in order not to endanger
efficiency in the production of ar
mament and civilian commodities,
the tax should not take more than
about 80 per cent of additional
profit"
