WASHINGTON Washington, March 21 Just as soon as the income tax returns for 1938, which were filed with the Treasury on March 15th, can be analyzed so that officials will know just how the national in come is going and how far it will be safe to make changes in the present tax laws. Congress leaders and the Administration heads ex pect to get together and try to work out a complete revision of the tax laws. The purpose is to try to fix it so that business men, capitalists and investors will feel assured that if they make any money it will not all be taken away from them in taxes, and that if they put up cash to finance new en terprises they will not be punish ed if the speculation turns out well. There is apparently almost complete agreement between the. President and his Cabinet, the majority leaders in Congress and the members of the minority party, that it is essential to re cowry to give private enterprise a greater chance. Harry Hopkins was the fore most Presidential favorite, and is still high in Mr. Roosevelt's good graces. But from the point of view of some of the others who feel themselves close to the White House, Mr. Hopkins lias turned traitor to the principles which they have insistently urged for several years. Instead of "soaking" business men, now that he is Secretary of Commerce, he is making friends with economic royalists, and earnestly trying to help them to find ways to invest their money where it will create new business and put more men to work. Means Business There is no doubt that Mr. Hopkins means business, and that he has the president behind him. Likewise the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Morgenthau. means business when he says the Trea sury will not stand for any addi tional taxes and favors readjust ment of present taxes. And these members of the Cab inet would not be talking as they are doing unless they felt positive that the President really meant it when he said he would not urge any more reforms but would give his attention to recovery first. Therefore the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, Sen ator Pat Harrison, and the Chair man of the Ways and Means Committee of the House, Repre sentative Doughton, feel that they are on solid ground in starting to FLOWER SEEDS Of All Kinds F.

C. work out a tax system which will be as satisfactory to business in terests as any taxation can be. The indications are that the new tax program will omit the undistributed profits tax entire ly. One conflict between the Pres ident and Congress has been re vived by the Presidential insist ence that the 150 million dollars which was cut out of the WPA appropriation be restored. He is not likely to get it without a fight. The whole atitude of Con gress is that the faster and deep er the expenditures for relief can be cut, the better. The hope, of course, is that tax revisions and other factors will stimulate business so that the un employment situation will be speedily improved. At present the Federal expenditures for re lief in all forms run to twice as much money as any other single item on the budget. Surplus Food Plan Washington is awaiting with interest the development of Sec retary Wallace's newest plan for the distribution of surplus food products. Instead of buying up surpluses and giving them away, they are to be distributed through regular food stores to WPA work ers as part of their wages. The scheme works this way: a WPA worker getting SSO a month will be offered S2O of it in orange colored stamps, good for food purchases in any store anywhere. The storekeeper can redeem them for cash at the post office. Then if the WPA worker accepts the S2O in orange stamps he will be given a bonus of 50 per cent., or $lO in blue stamps. Those, too, are good at any food store but only for items which are on the government's list of "surplus" commodities. • The plan is to be tried in a few counties and cities to see how it works. Washington observers think it is the sanest plan yet of fered to move surplus farm com modities. , Agreement with Brazil Perhaps the most important thing which the Federal govern ment has done lately may prove to be the new agreement between the United States and Brazil. In sffect, it extends $120,000,000 of credit to the largest of the South American nations, to enable its people to buy American goods for 2ash instead of having to buy manufactured articles from Ger many on the barter system. Brazil agrees to be guided largely by the United States in its foreign relations and the United 3tates agrees to provide agricul tural and trade experts to that country to aid in developing its resources. The general opinion here is that this move will open a great foreign market for American goods and also for the develop ment of the natural resources of Brazil by American capital, while insuring the allegiance of the na tion which occupies half of the entire area of South America to the principles developed at the Lima conference. In other words, the movement to bring all of North and South America into a united front against European dictatorships has already begun to take tangi ble form. The appointment of Col. Edwin M. Watson, the President's mili tary aide, as one of the three sec retaries to the President, in place of "Son Jimmy," is regarded here as a means of rewarding a faith ful friend who has been very close to the President for a long time.

Watson, who is scheduled THE BLKIN TRIBUNE, ELRIN, NORTH CAROLINA Free Theatre Tickets for All But the Skeleton F£| mmm aSSm 9pH mm % m M ' y \.H 19 | JB H^HH t " -! ■-•- :f -• '• * - Vt "*" W |«| 1 '^vPflßlH' - Two free theatre tickets good for admission to the Lyric theatre are awaiting at The Tribune for those pictured above.
