JVAHCE OUT SIDE THE COUHTT
National Defense
Has Easy Sailing
In U. S. Congress
Washington^ Mar. 9 (Autocaster)
?With one exception the Admin
titration's program of National Defense
is moving through Congress
vith almost as much speed and
jase as the President's New Deal
naesures moved four or five years
igo.
The House of Representatives
.urned down the nronosal to pst.-ih
iih a navel base on the Island of
lUiam in mid-Pacific, but otherwise
here has been such complete bipartisan
support of the Army and
\Tavy program as to indicate that
Senators and Representatives beieve
that tiie folks back home are
vorried about the condition of
vorld affairs and don't want the
Jnited States to be caught unprepared
as we were when matters
:ame to a climax of war in 1917.
At the same time, Congress is
rying to be careful about making
varlike gestures in the direction of
my particular nation, though there
lave been several speeches by irrele
may order "no play" and permit
sponsible rhembers of both Houses
vhich, if taken seriously, might
easily stir up bad feeling abroad.
Fear of giving too much offense
;o Japan is the reason behind the
"ofusul to make navel improvements
n Guam. That little island was a!ottcd
to the United States by the
rreaty of Versailles, at the same
ime that Japan was given several
;mallcr islands not too far away.
Both nations are forbidden by the
;erms of the Treaty to fortify their
sland possessions. Whether dredgng
out the harbor of Guam to ac:ommodate
a few battleships, or
juilding a dry clock or a repair shop
'or ships, making the island a naval
jase, would v; late the Treaty of
/ersailks nobody on Capitol Hill is
juite sure, oul the point on which
he Guam in .vement plan was
le. cated was that it could and probibly
would be m.crpreted by Japan
is a threatening gesture.
To Restore Confidence
Apart from war prevention mea
ures, the clear purpose of the Administration
now appears to be to
estore the confidence of business
hat there wil be no more experiment
by the government of a kind
a frighten investors. Numerous
igns point to a real desire to enourage
business in the hope that
he wheels of industry can be started
evolving at something like their
ormer -speed.
The ending of the controversy beween
-the ;Tennessee Valley Authorrv
3ni* titoijT.ommonwealth & South
rn eiecifcic power interests is one
i these signs. T. V. A. filially/bought
ut Commonwealth for eighty mil,011
dollars, regarded as a fair price
y all concerned and the President
nounced that there would be no
lore Government competition witn
rivate power companies. The hope
; that this assurance will open the
ockets of investors who would like
> put several billions into utility
nprovements.
Tiie question of taxes on corpo;te
earnings and capital gains i:?
ill holding investors back, howter.
The President gave notice that
le Administration would propose
o new taxes, and Secretary Moranthau,
ior the Treasury, reiterated
lat assurance.
Tax Matters Studied
It remains to be seen, however,
cw far the Administration will co
perate in eliminating some of the
ix measures now on the statuh.
ooks, which business interests reard.
as handicapping investment,
he committees of both Senate a,.it
[ouse in charge of tax matters are
itfing a great deal of study to the
roposals for the elimination of the
ix on corporate surpluses entirely,
nd the reduction of the capital
ains tax law in such a way that
an investor takes a heavy risk
ad earns a profit proportionate to
le risk, he will be permitted to keep f
fair share of h:profit.
The man a: the moment in Washigton
is Harry L. Hopkins, the new
scretary of Commerce, former head
: W. P. A. Mr. Hopkins is" making
good imprei sion upon business men >
ho have to do business with his
apartment, and is strengthening the
