The generally accepted plan is to require each lobbying organization or individual lobbyist to register as such and make quarterly reports detailing all of its or his activities, contacts and cash transactions from date to date.

House chieftains were not yet ready to forecast the exact form in which the proposal for a drastic tax on un distributed corporation profits would be framed, but; they expressed con fidence the basic features would be approved. Chief Point of Attack Chief point of attacks on the Pres ident’s proposal for raising $620,000,- 000 annualiy was that it would dis courage corporations from setting up reserves to tide them over lean years. In reply, Democratic leaders con tended that even with an average tax of 33 1-3 percent on undistributed profits, corporations which laid aside a third of their income for a rainy day would pay less taxes under the President’s proposal than they do at the present time with an average tax on all profits. Clashing Views Clashing views on the program were expressed last night by Chair man Doughton, Democrat, North Carolina, of tlje House Ways and Means Committee, and Representa tive Snell, Republican, New York, minority leader. Doughton said in a radio speech: “The existing system is unfair and expensive to the majority of stock holders and majority of corporations. It prevents the small stockholder from receiving a fair annual return on his investment.” Snell declared the new plan was "one more verse in the New Deal’s unchanging theme —‘soak the saver’." It is imposible, he said to balance the budget by political vengeance. The nation needs curtailment of ex penditures, he declared.

Workers and farmers and small merchants are largely for it, of course They had feared a heavier income tax on them. But, strangely, even some industrailists are not averse to it. Owners of heavy industries and tool and machinep lants believe their business may be greatly increased by such a tax. Large corporations would expend their excess reserves for new equipment and plant. A QUESTION There always has been a question, however, in the minds of economists whether a tax on capital ever accom plishes its purposes. Even if the pre mise is granted that large wealth is anti-social and detrimental to a demo cracy, taxing it heavily merely causes it to flee—or disappear underground. A tax or a system which, however, would prevent the monopolization of wealth to begin with might be anoth er matter. TAX SYSTEMS FAILING The truth of the matter seems to be that every form of taxation has begun to fall (throughout the world —the United States least of all) be cause the money collected does not change basic conditions at all—in (Continued on Page Five.) o PAGES OTODAY FIVE CENTS COPY EiSISEDBY ACTION OF HITLER Early Extraordinary Session of League Council Is Pre dicted in Geneva Circles ALL ARMY LEAVES HALTED IN FRANCE Vigorous Protest to League Will Be Made as Hitler In vades Demilitarized Zone, Professing Peaceful Pur poses and Declaring Ger many Free Again Berlin, March 7 (AP) Adolf Hitler, thundering to his brownshirt Nazi Reichstag that the Locarno pact was dead, sent German troops goose-stepping into the demilitarized Rhine land today and pronounced the fight for Germany’s freedom finished.

Exhorting the Reichstag in classic Nazi style, Der Fuehrer pleaded his friendship for France, detailed What he said were his constant efforts for a rapproachment with that country and castigated the new Franco-Rus sian mutual assistance pact as one which might lead to “unpredictable consequences’’ for Europe.” “All United.” Standing on the rostrum of the Kroll opera house at the very moment when some thousands of German troops crossed the Rhine and goose stepped into Cologne, Hitler cried: “In this historic hour, when in western provinces our Reich German troops are moving their future gar rissons of peace, we are all united In two holy confessions. “First, in a solemn oath to recede before no power and no force in re establishing the honor of our people and to succumb honorably to the heaviest privations rather than ever capitulate before it. “Second, in a determination now more than ever to help bring about understanding among people of Eu rope, especially among our western peoples and neighbors.” Hitler’s Promises.
