Clipped Wings

Before Congress recessed for the sum-
mer, House subcommittee managed to
put some of the social experimenters in a
quandary and, at the same time, to lop
$43,OOO,00O off the tax load. The sub
committee was from the Committee on
Insular Affairs, headed by C. Jasper Bell,
Missouri Democrat. The method was
this:
Governor ReXfOrd Guy TugWell and his
superior, Interior Secretary Ickes, were
asking S5O,00O,O00 for public relief works
in Puerto Rico during the next two years.
Meanwhile, the Bell committee found, the
insular government had $60000,00O of
idle funds in Puerto Rican banks.
In this connection it should be borne
in mind that Puerto Rico is relieved
entirely of any contribution to federal
income. The insular government receives
and retains all revenue from any source,
including income taxes, which are fixed
Just enough under the federal level so
that islanders will not finagle to be taxed
by Washington. The S6O,0OO,000 was
surplus from those revenues which, in
the case of a mainland state, would have
gone to Mr.. Morgenthau's Golfers.
Rightly or wrongly, the Bell committee
believed that Messrs. TugWell and Ickes
lIlCCllQCu IliCll DOO,OOO,OOO w
finance experiments in state specialization
authorized under the Little New Deal pro-
gram, and to force the federal treasury to
carry the burden of relief for the island.
So the $50,000,00O Ickes-Tugwell re-
quest was pared to 100000, reduction
of $43 100000, and Mr. Tugwell must
choose between diverting the islands own
funds to relief purposes or mourning the
arimosity that withdrawal of relief would
entail.
The committee has anther bee in its
bonnet, too. 1t is told that there is be-
tween nine and ten million gallons OF
rum in Puerto Rico which, if shipping
space can be found, could be marketed
here to bring the insular government tax
revenues between $54,OOO,OOO and $780,
100000. The committe is trying to get
cargo space allocated to the half of this
rum which is estimated to be aged suf-
ficiently for sale, and viii, insist that the
the revenue from this must be earmarked
for relief.
The probability of getting 10000 tons
Of space to ship bottles down, and an
equal amount to bring rum up, may
not be very promising at the moment. But
even if that should fail, the committee is
prepared to accept kudos for saving $43,-
100000, and for clipping the wings OF So
cialization in the Caribbean.
