in 10 Years, He Says;
Outlines Advantages

WASHINGTON. Jan. 8 (UP).-
President Roosevelt today ex-
pressed approval of putting the
country on a pay-as-you-go tax
basis, but cited as a serious prob
lem any change-over which would
involve the forgiving of taxes
already owed.
The President said he thought
we all favor getting on a pay-as-
we-go basis, particularly to avoid
the difficulties of accommodating
money throughout year to pay
taxes on income being earned at
the same time.
The, real problem. he said, in
changing over TO such a basis. is
deciding whether to omit entirely
the payment of a certain portion
of the present taxes owed the gov
ernment.

TO the treasury.
Newspapermen asked when such
a loss would become evident if the
pay-as-you-go system were con-
tinued indefinitely. Mr.. Roosevelt
replied that the loss would not
show Immediately.
Ultimately, however - say in a
period of 10 years-it would show
up, he added.
Outlining the advantages of a
pay-as-you-go plan of federal taxa
ton, Mr.. Roosevelt said he thought
such a plan would be easier on a
taxpayer because he would not
have to accumulate the cash. Or,
