Marshall Seeks
709b Efficiency
lin Aid toChina
Reports Momentum
Toward Our Goals
In Western Europe
By Chalmers M. Roberts

Secretary of State Marshall
told the House Foreign Affairs
Committee today the Govern
ment is planning a program to
help China with the expectation
that any funds will be used with
about 10 per cent efficiency"
He also said "a certain momen-
tum has developed" in Western Eu-
rope toward what we are struggling
for"
"It would be a tragedy If it does
not continue" he added.
Gen. Marshall appeared before
the House committee for question
ing on the administration foreign
aid program as he did yesterday
before the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee.
His staten cnts concerning the
use Of aid for China came in re-
sponse to questions by Representa-
tive Kee, Democrat, of West Vir-
ginia. Gen. Marshall has figured
the cost at about $500, 100000 over
Is months.
The situation is one of great
complexity," Gen. Marshall said. He
said the Government wants to do
something helpful" and Is trying to
develop program in which funds
will be used perhaps with 10 per
cent efficiency
Figure Not Explained.
No one asked him Immediately
why they would not be used with
100 per cent efficiency although he
was questioned in detail about the
administrations plans. especially by
Representative Judd, Republican, OF
Minnesota. Mr.. Judd returned only
a week ago from the Far East.
Mr.. Judd said he felt the China
problem was primarily military
He wanted to know whether Secre-
tary Marshall thought that any
economic or financial measures
would do any good until the military
drain on China's budget is reduced.
The Secretary repeated previous
statements that the Chinese situa-
ton is extraordinarily difficult u
He said that the China aid bill
however, probably will not attempt
to meet the military problem.
Mr.. Judd recalled that President
Truman had said last spring we
should help all nations where there
is a threat to the freedom of the
people. He wanted to know why
if military aid was given to Greece,
it is not given to China.
Nearly 1000 Officers in China.
In reply, Gen. Marshall pointed
out that only 40 officers and a few
enlisted soldiers had been sent to
Greece while we currently have in
China nearly 1000 officers working
with the Chinese Army to improve
its efficiency.
But the difficulties go far be-
yond military equipment" he said.
IT don't wish to discuss the details
further. but I assure you we want
to do the job and I also assure you
it is very difficult. A great deal
has to be done out there before we
can do more here"
Representative Bloom, Democrat,
of New York, finally objected to Mr..
Judds questioning in the face of
Gen. Marshall's obvious reluctance
to go further into the Chinese situa-

1907 Increase Askel
In Britain S Tax on
Corporation Profits
Dalton Declares Higher
Dividends Are Spur to
InfIotionory Movement
By the Associated Press j.

LONDON, Nov. 12.-Chancellor
of the Exchequer Hugh Dalton
asked the House of Commons to-
day to double Britain's tax on
company profits as step in the
fight against imitation.
Mr.. Dalton, introducing an emer-
gency national budget designed to
drain off some consumer purchasing
power, declared that many COM
panies have been declaring increased
dividends contrary to his advice.
This is infationary and disturb
ing to good industrial relations" he
added.
Big Surplus Reported.
The chancellor told the House of
Commons the British government
finished the first 80 weeks of It's
current financial year with an "un-
precedented" surplus Of 253,000, ,00C
pounds (s1,O12,OOOOO
1--WE are within 100000 pounds
(s2oooo,ooo) already of the surplus
I estimated for the full year." he
said in his address.
He referred only to the govern
ment's revenue and expenditures ir
the strictly domestic sphere, and his
accounting had no bearing on the
gap between what the government
pays other countries for imports and
what it earns from exports.
Il propose to double the profit
tax as from January l, 1947," Mr.
Dalton told the House. This will
raise the rate from 121a per cent
to Is per cent on distributed profits
and from S per cent to 10 per cent
on undistributed profits. This will
increase the yield by f85, 900, ,00(
($340, ,0O0,00 in the full year, bring
ing the yield next year to s170,000,0 ,00C
$3.50, 900, ,o0O."
Income Tax Change Out.
Mr.. Dalton ruled out any immedi-
ate changes In income taxes and
in the retail tax on tobacco. He
uISeu SbeppSu-uP IdAcS vi W4lle'
whisky, rum and other spirits and
an increase in the rate of purchase
taxes covering a large number OF
items.
The chancellor indicated probable
higher prices for clothing by propos-
ing withdrawal of the government S
subsidy of f19,0O0OO0 on cotton and
wool. He left unchanged the $780,
100000 annual subsidy for agricul-
ture.
Mr.. Dalton proposed a 10 per cent
tax on all money wagered on dog
races through pari-mutuel ma
chimes, but said he would impose
no duty on pari-mutuel betting at
horse races.
He proposed a 10 per cent tax,
however. on betting through foot
ball pools, favorite British pastime.
He also asked an additional penny
q cents) per pint tax on beer.

Truman to Address Congress
When Session Opens Monday

President Truman will deliver
personally at 1880 pm. Monday
his message to the special session
of Congress on foreign aid and
high prices, the White House
announced today.
Charles G. Ross. the Presidents
press secretary, said several rough
drafts of the speech have been pre-
pared. but that nothing like the
final version has been written.
It has been uncertain until today
whether the Presidents message
would go to Congress on Monday,
the first day of the special session,
or whether it might be delivered
later.
In connection with the whole food
conservation program and high
price situation, Mr.. Ross disclosed,

Mr. Hartman agreed, but when
Senator Vandenberg sought to find
out whether any new domestic con-
trolls, beyond regulation of exports,
may be recommended, Mr.. Hartman
indicated he would rather not pur-
sue that subject further today. He
pointed out that he is one Of those
in consultation with the admins
tration.
The special session of Congress
convenes Monday and. presumably
the President will outline the ad-
ministration's views on the domestic
situation as well as foreign aid in
his message.

to hold down the interim aid pro-
