"HENDERSON GATEWAY TO central CAROLINA twenty-third YEAR FIANCE MAY QUIT THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS Cushion Reserve On Corporation Tax Seems Likely INSURANCE FIRMS AND BANKS LIKELY But Still Higher Rates In Higher Brackets May Be Imposed if Needed For Levies MORE TAX TABLES BY THE TREASURY Higher Tax Proposed in Newest Batch Lower Than 75 Percent Contained In Former List; Excessive Charges Would Defeat Very Purpose Sought Washington, March 11. —(AP) — A House Ways and Means sub-commit tee today clamped a “gag" on any fur ther disclosures of Treasury data sub mitted as a basis for working out President Roosevelt’s $792,000,000 tax program. Coincidentally, there were intima tions that the sub-committee was ap proaching an understanding that tax rates on undistributed corporation earnings will be adjusted so as to meet any loss of revenue occasioned by providing a “cushion” reserve for corporations, and by exempting banks, insurance companies and fiduciary oi ganizations from the projected cor porate levy. Some committeemen intimated that higher rates in higher brackets than those originally advanced by the Trea sury may be resorted to if needed to assure the yield of $620,000,000 of ad ditional income which the administra tion is seeking from the corporate tax. It was learned privately that new tax tables were handed over today by Treasury experts, in which the high est rate submitted was below the 75 percent maximum suggested by the Treasury yesterday in the event the sub-committee should insist on provid ing corporations with a reserve ex empt fro rntaxes or taxes at a low rate, on which to lean during “rainy" days. bv one committeeman as entirely im practical. because “not a dime" would be collected under them.” Rather than pay such rates to be permitted to put a large share of un divided income into reserves, it was asserted corporations would distribute such net income among stockholders who would pay income taxes upon the dividends.

This source stated that Pierre Etienne-Flandin, French foreign min ister, will take a warning of such pos sible action with him when he goes to London tomorrow for a conference of Locarno treaty signatories. Officials said Flandin was prepared to tell Anthony Eden, British foreign secretary, that France was not alone in her stand against further occupa tion of the Rhineland by German troops. An authoritative spokesman declar ed: “We know war is coming in two years anyhow. We might as well have It now while we are prepared.” The only way in which Hitler’s troops will leave the Rhineland is for the Lacarno treaty signers to drive them out, but a stitch in time save 3 nine.” The official added: There comes a time when a nation refuses to be humiliated in front of the world. French honor is at stake and we are ready to draw the sword if necessary, to keep it unsullied.” The French attitude was described after Flandin had conversed this morning with Ambassador Potemkin of Soviet Russia. French officials said that it was necessary Great Britain back France at this moment in order to prevent "the death of the League of Nations.” One official said: “This time France will be satisfied with no gesture. Germany must re move at least 70 percent of her troops from the Rhineland. The world must know that Germany has ceded.” Other sources suggested that France might not be the only power which would quit the League of Nations If Hitler did not remove his troops. Oth ers, they indicated, might follow France’s lead.
