A postwar tax plan emphasizing

proposing 5 per cent Federal re-
tail sales tax was presented to the
congressional stan on taxation to-
day by group of businessmen from
st. Paul and Minneapolis. MINI.
It calls for 4 90 per cent peace

Known as "the Twin Cities plan, !"
1t suggests that 10 per cent OF divi-

rations be exempt from the personal

ments.
Representatives Of the Minnesota
businessmen who devised the tax
proposals outlined them to Cclin r.
STAN, chief, and other members OF
the stan of experts employed by
Congress. This stan Is under orders
from the House Ways and Means
Committee and the Senate Finance
Committee to outline suggestions to
Congress for postwar taxation.
The Twin Cities plan is based on
expectation of a $120, ,0O0, ,OO0, 900 an
nual national income after the war,
twice the 10-year prewar average,
and an annual budget and tax load
of $4,000, 900 900, compared with
prewar Federal expenditures of un-
der $4,000, ,000, 900 and taxes of
around 5000, 900 900. Federal tax
collections now run around $43, ,0O0,-
600, 900. with 4 wartime budget of
about 500, 900, 900 900 annually.
Under the Twin Cities proposal
the overall burden on individuals
would be cut in half and an even
larger PERCENTAGE reduction brought
about In corporation levies.
The sales tax, If approved by Con-
gress, would replace . part of in
dividual income levies. The 40 per
cent normal and surtax rates against
corporations would be retained, but
such wartime revenue expedients as
the excess profits taxes on corpora :

Polish Council Calls
For East Prussia

MOSCOW, July 25 tP,.-Demanding
the inclusion in postwar Poland OF
all of East Prussia, most of Pom
erania and other portions of East
ern Germany, the Soviet-sponSored
National Council of Poland has de-
clared itself the sole lawful source
of authority in Poland" and termed
the Polish government in London
an 'impostrous" and incompetent
authority"
The announcement of the post
war aims of the council and the
establishment of a Polish Commit
tee of National Liberation as the
organ of executive power was inter-
preted here to mean that, so far as
the Russian government was con-
cerned the Polish government in
exile in London no longer represents
Poland.

day, but dated at Chelm, Poland

Czechoslovakia" and that the blood
shed in joint battles against Ger

solidate our friendship and strength
en- our alliance with Great Britain
and the United States - ."
The manifesto further declared
that the council would strive also
Ito preserve traditional friendship
and alliance with revived France
and to cooperate with all demo-
cratic countries of the world"
The council declared it had named
the Committee of Liberation under
terms of the March 81, 1917, consti-
tuition and that the main provisions
of this constitution would remain
in effect until the convocation OF
an elected constitutional assembly
expressing the will of the people,
In addition to outlining the post
war territorial demands of Poland
the manifesto proposed a broad pro-
gram of social and economic re-
forms for the liberated populace

neuvering in the waters OF the
Marianas, some $500 miles from
Tokyo, and the time is not yet ripe
for our fleet to come out and attack
the enemy" the Tokyo radio as
serted today.
The broadcast by Domei, official
japanese news agency, quoted the
naval commentator Masanori Ito as
saying:
"Strategically speaking, the time
to deliver the coup de grace to the
enemy has not yet arrived
Later, he asserted:
Undoubtedly. our combined fleet
is far inferior to the enemy's as far
as aircraft strength is concerned.
The fleet which loses command of
the air is destined for defeat and
immediate rout from the scene Of
battle"
Studying All Factors.
Commentator Ito said the factors
for complete victory in naval
battle" were superior feet strength,
supplemental power needed to follow
up the battle and geographic con-
siderations, as well as fighting tech
nique and morale.
Our combined fleet" Ito asserted
in the Toyko broadcast, acting on
the basis of cool reasoning and cer-
tainty. will not come out until an
exhaustive study of the above fac
tors has been completed"
The broadcast seemed to suggest
that the fleet might remain in
refuge of home waters near the
protection of land batteries and
land biased planes until, perhaps.
the American Fleet struck directly
at Japan. 1t was this policy of
deliberately choosing its place for
battle which afforded Admiral Togo
the opportunity for annihilating
victory over the Russian Fleet in
the battle Of Tsushima on May n,
1905.
