other supplies already have been
shipped to the civilians of French

been made for sending huge
amounts every month.
The future program. he said. pro-
vides for shipping 10000 tons

United States alone. plus additional
large quantities from Great Brit
ain.
The $4,000 tons came about $3.50

canned fish, margarine, powdered
milk, powdered eggs and cheese for
the distressed civilian population of
the area recently liberated by the
Allied expedition under 1t. Gen.

In the future. Mr.. Stettinius said,
most of the food needed from out
side by North Africa will come
from the United States, while Eng
land will send other badly needed
supplies of a type which she can
spare more readily than food. Eng
land gets a large part OF its food
from this country.
Mr.. Stettinius said American ship
ments are being made almost en-
tirely under the lease-lend program,
but in cooperation with Herbert H.
Lehman's Off1ce of Foreign Relief.

other war materials.

However, some emergency sup
plies. especially milk for children,
are being distributed free by Mr..
Lehman's agency through the Red
Cross and similar agencies.
Returned travellers from North
Africa all have commented on the
nearly starved and naked condition
of the population found in Africa by
Gen. Eisenhower's forces and have
been appealing for speed in sending
relief.
Mr.. Stettinius said principal sup
plies being shipped by the United
States include flour, sugar and pow
dered and condensed milk. Large
quantities of cotton cloth. new and
used clothing and shoes also are
on the way.
England is planning to send large
quantities Of coal, needed particu-
larly by railroads and utilities, and
also some tea, coffee. medical sup
plies, clothing, seed potatoes, soap,
twine and some foods.
Mr.. Stettinius pointed out that
in the case of food, the need for
shipments will decline when new

RumI Plan Backers
In Congress Admit
Being on Defensive
Ways and Means Group
Agrees Some of 1912
Levy Will Be Forgiven
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Congressional supporters of
the Ruml pay-as-you-go plan to
cancel all 1912 individual income
tax obligations conceded they
were on the defensive today and
started casting about for rein
forcements.
There appeared virtual unanimity
OF opinion among the Is members
of the House Ways and Means
Committee, however, that some of
last years taxes would be forgiven.
The question was,. how much?
One thing was certain: While a
majority of the lawmakers were in
tent on writing pay-as-you-go law
as quickly as congressional processes
permit, their labors will not erase
the requirement that all taxpayers
file their 1912 returns and pay at
least the first installment cat pres
ent statutory rates. by March Is.
Modern Form Of Peonage.
Beardsley Ruml, chairman of the
New York Federal Reserve Bank,
argued the merits of his plan for
five hours before the committee yes
terday, declaring income tax debt
has become a modern form Of
peonage" and "a national danger"
To Treasury contention that the
Government would lose $4,000, ,0O0,- :
600 in assets" by canceling 1912
obligations, the banker and depart
ment store executive had this to say:
II contend that the financial we'll
being of the Government would be
improved, since the revenues of the
Government would be larger under
the pay-as-you-go plan than at
present, and this without increase
of taxes on this account on any tax
payer. now or In the future"
When he completed his formal
statement, committee members fired
question after question, the trend
indicating more of the members were
hostile than sympathetic and when
the session ended friends of the
Ruml plan acknowledged privately
that they could not now muster a
majority of votes in the committee,
though they expressed confidence of
gaining strength before the hearing
ends, probably next week.
Meanwhile, two compromise pro-
posals continued in the spotlight.
Robertson's Proposal.
One by Representative Robertson,
Democrat, of Virginia would erase
1912 tax obligations for 80 Per cent
of the taxpayers and reduce obliga-
tions for the other 10 per cent, by
cancelling the 6 per cent normal and
first bracket surtax of 13 per cent,
this affecting the first $4,000 of net
taxable income. The other, suggested
by Mr.. Doughton for considera-
tion," would tax 1912 incomes by 1941
rates and exemptions.
AS Mr.. Ruml concluded his testi-
mony, Mr.. Doughton said no. one
else had testified they favored your
plan yet" He referred to Mr..
Mr.. Ruml's delivering addresses over
the country advocating his proposal
and asked the banker if he did not
think the Ways and Means Com
mittee could write a better tax bill
than any one person, "even the
President or you"
Mr.. Ruml replied that he would
not attempt to write a tax bill.
chat it was the duty OF the COM
mittee, and said he had made
speeches only on invitation, pre-
senting what he believed to be the
best solution of serious problem.
