Carlson Measure
Would Forgive
Years Taxes

Washington. Mar. 15-INS-The
209 Republican members Of the
House meet In party conference to-
day to line up their forces behind
the Ruml pay-as-you-go tax plan.
Meantime, with Is Democratic
members and one Republican. Rep.
Gearhart OF California supporting
it, the first draft OF bill to retain
the present system of collecting
taxes on income after 1t is earned
was laid before the House Ways
and Means Committee.
House Republican Leader Joseph
Martin, Jr.. asserted it likely that
the overwhelming majority OF the
COP members will oppose the Ad-
ministration's measure and added
that there Is good chance" that
enough Democrats will break ranks
TO upset it.
Rep. Carson (R) Kan. a member
of the Ways and Means Committee,
has introduced bill providing for
the abatement of years taxes
and embodying the other essential
features OF the plan advocated by
Beardsley Fuml. chairman OF the
New York Federal Reserve Board.
II Is this legislation that the COP
hopes to substitute for the Admin
istration's bill on the House floor
and it will be the subject of a min
ority report by nine Republicans on
the Ways and Means Committee
who are demanding pay-as-you-go.
Rep. Knutson. ranking Republi-
can on the committee who is draft
ing the report, replied today TO cri.
ticism OF the Ruml plan by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
"Mr. Roosevelt" said Knutson,
argued that those in the large in
come groups would receive an un
fair advantage over those in the
lower brackets il a year OF taxes
were forgiven.
/ If that statement be true. then
it means that the converse is true
that the rates which have been inn
posed on big incomes by this Ad-
ministration are unfair. After all.
the amount forgiven is governed
solely by the rates applied against
each bracket. II the forgiveness
based on that ratio is unfair, then
the rates are unfair"
The ADMINISTRATORS plan would
continue the present system, but
would impose a 20 per cent with.

collect the taxes from the pay
checks of salaried persons and wage
earners. 1t would also of1er in

wished to pay taxes in. advance,
ranging from one to four per cent.
This plan was adopted after the
Treasury had proposed several al
tentative plans. which would have
forgiven from one-third up TO three
fourths OF years taxes.
1.-THE President" Knutson com
mented. was not critical OF the
Treasury plans TO forgive taxes.
but like the Treasury, he is
against a plan which would for
give on a little more and get the
country on a current basis imme-
diately."
Meanwhile Republican Senate
Leader Charles McNary, Oregon.
gave his moral backing to the fight
of House Republicans.
81 should like to see the pay-as-
you-go principle introduced in tax
action" said McNary. While favor
ing the general principle of the
Ruml Plan, he expressed no opinion
on the various types of forgiveness
features.

Eden Conference
in Washington
Overshadowed

Washington. Mar. 15-lNS 80 A
British Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden prepared 70 confer today for
for the first time with Secretary OF
State Cordell Hull. the Anglo-Am-
erican talks were overshadowed in
importince BY the move TO get
Senate approval OF L. S. participa-
ton in postwar collective secur-
ity system.
The move by a bipartisan group
OF four senators to introduce a res
olution in the Senate authorizing
the American government TO com.
NIT the United States to help po-
lice the world in the future Was re-
sgarded in diplomatic circles in
Washington as one OF the most mo.
mentous developments of the en-
tire war.
1t is the one thing which the
other allied governments have been
waiting for. on the outcome OF this
Senate move will. 1t Is believed de-
pend the question OF whether Pres.
ident Roosevelt can get Great Brit
ain. Russia, China, and other Allied
powers TO make definite commit
ments concerning postwar polltl-
cal and economic problems.
1t is known that the other United
Nations governments have beer
deeply concerned whether future
American administrations would
support President Roosevelts for
eign policies, or whether even the
present Congress would approve the
postwar agreements he makes.
Seek Assurance
Leading diplomatic representa-
tives OF those powers have been
saying quite frankly that It is diff
cult for their governments to make
definite commitments unless they
have some assurance that Con-
gress will not treat Roosevelt as
it did the late Woodrow Wilson,
and that promises made by him In
respect to American foreign policy
will not be reuounced by the mex.
political administration that comes
into power in the United States.
This uncertain American political
situation is considered by the other
Allies to apply particularly TO their
territorial commitments. All the
United Nhtious have agreed in pisn-
ciple to renounce territorial ag
grandizement. However, II the
United States should return TO iso-
latio.1sm after the war, the foreign
diplomats point out the other eoGB
tries would be compelled to consid-
err everything W the light OF their
own future security. This would
mean, for example. that the British
might deem it advisable to retain
all the Italian territory they have
acquired in North Africa, as well
as any other strategic bases they
may occupy during this war.
Another case in point is that OF
Russia. The only hope American
ami British officials have OF getting
the Russians to give up the Baltic
states and those parts OF Poland
and Romania which were incorpor-
ated into the Soviet Union is to
offer Moscow a world security sys.
tenn that would safeguard Russia
from future aggression.
