In their j«n:t statement.
DoiiKhhni and Kniitsnn declared
the President's positi in in his
vein mess ise * is indefensible."
They set t.irih these contention*:
I. Coiisress n.ive carelul consideration
li. the iidininislration's request
fur $10,r>(l().no0.imil ol additional
taxes, a;:d derided such an
increase, added in i xisling Federal

U. It is difficult 1 • understand
why. if $lli.r>lMi.lli)ll.imiii ul increased
taxe> i.s desirable, an increase of
S2.:{OII,Ol)h,UOO i> undesirable. The
latter amount is what they figured
the vetoed bill would produce. Mr.
IJiin.si'vclt cit tided it would yield
less than Si.iiiMi.oixi.noo.)
II. The President's advocacy of a
drastic general increase in individual
inclines liixc- mi those of small
and moderate incomes is based upon
the wholly false assumption that all
hav e benefitted rum the war boom j
and arc in ail equally favorable position
tu pay still higher income

■I. "file I' r e s id en l"s proposal
"would threaten the solvency of all
business and undermine its ability
lo provide jobs when the war ends."
Unless this hill becomes law. the
way will be paved for many large
corporations lo make excess profit;
out of the war.
5. Thai there are many ;;ood lealures
ul the bill which wil be lost
if il should tail to become law."
"Now (hat he (Mr. li'io.sevell) is

"we trust he will direr! Hie Tre.i urv
