Phillips,
dissenting: I concur in the opinion expressed in the first three paragraphs of the dissenting opinion prepared by my associate but can go no further with him. It is my opinion that the judgment of the court in 1920 established that the expenditures made in prior years in excess of receipts were not in fact losses, but moneys expended for the benefit of the United States, the expenditure of which gave rise to an action to recover the amount. If this be so, there was no loss in the years 1913 to 1916 and no income in 1920 when the amounts due petitioner were recovered by it.
