Paul Douglas D-11l recom mended today that excise tax cuts scheduled for next April 1 be allowed to go into effect to help bolster the country against a depres sion. While emphasizing that he is not predicting a depression, Douglas told reporters he sees some "dan ger” of an economic slump. He proposed that plans be developed right away so that government would be prepared to combat a de pression in case one should dev elop. "I would say that we are In a real recession,” he said. Douglas was a professor of eco nomics at the University of Chicago before his election to the Senate. FACTORIES HARD HIT He said he has found farm Im plement factories “hit very, very hard,” reflecting a drop in farm income, and that he understood that the automobile Industry “Is beginning to feel the pinch.” Both factors, he result In a cutback: )n the demand for steel. Hla nervousness about the possi bility Os a depression was based on his-toar that Such factors cotta set off a chain reaction to cause an economic slump. He said, how ever, that he sees no danger of a depression as serious as that of the early 1830’s. If the administration should con clude that a depression i« coming, Douglas said, there should be a re duction in what he called “con sumption taxes.” He said this re duction could be achieved by cut ting excise taxes (sales taxes on specific itjems) and by incresajpg the present income tax exemptions of S6OO a person. Douglas said excise tax reduct ions would result in lower prices of the.products affected, with a re sulting increase to demand for them.
