In the Senate I 18 of the 20 members of last week, the Senate I finance Committee went on record 1 for modifying the fits tax. Strongest tax came from tthe undistributed opposition to the pro-- 1 committee's chair- Harrison who, having failed Pat Iman vote to beat Kentucky's Alben for the Senate Democratic I Leadership last summer, no longer I feels any inhibitions about speaking out on fiscal policies which may or may not have Presidential favor. In the House the uproar about Taxes was more lively than the Senate's, more likely to have reasonably prompt consequences. Most pertinent words on the subject in which U. S. business was most interested came from Chairman Fred M. Vinson of theWaye and Meon Subcommittee on Taxation, which had already tentatively approved exempting all corporation incomes of $5,000 or less from the undistribut- tax. Representative Vinson, the Ways and Means Committee's Chairman Robert Lee Doughton, made it clear that tax would not be ready for action in the special session. Said Chairman Doughton: "I think it would take just as long to get a part of the program through as to do all of it. I don't think we can get the bill ready ed profits seconded by leg-fejati- in time." WASHINGTON Most frequent critism of the Trade Agreements Act of 1934, under which Secretary of State Cordell Hull has patiently woven a network of reciprocal trade treaties with 16 foreign countries, is that tariff concession granted to any signatory country are automatically extended to countries with which the U. S. has " "most agreements. From Free Trader Hull's standpoint, this is the strongest point of his policy since generalizing concessions tends to increase the volume of world trade. But it has given many a Hull critic an opportunity to argue that :. : .. 70-o- favored-nations- tt won d e 4 " cc e 1 o 11 J nations or the uti avvu iw givz ry s tthi a&s as well as take. Secretary Hull and Britain's Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain last week announced simultaneously that a U. S. Britain reciprocal trade agreement was ready to be hatched. Specifically, Mr. Hull asked all interested parties to submit to the State Department's Committee for Reciprocity Information by December 16 their suggestions for bargaining. But neither cautious Mr. Hull nor cautious Mr. Chamberlain would have made these announcements unless preliminary each had the end of negotiations clearly in sight; hence friends of Secretary Hull joyously proclaimed that Great Britain, the biggest foreign customer of the U. S. and thus the belated keystone of the Hull reciprocal arch, was for all practical purposes already in place. During the past year, discussion of the keystone treaty has proceeded at a tepid pace vrth Secretary Hull frankly in the suitor's role, and Great Britain favorable to an agreement but hesitant to disturb the network of preferrence agreements with her Dominions. Aim of the U. S. bargainers will be to reverse the trend which carried U. S. exports to Great Britain from $848,000,000 in 1929 to $440,122,-00- 0 last year. y & O AMISH GRATITUDE - - - .. 1933 k House Chevrolet ConpC No shrewd buyer passes up our used car bargains contracts, loans, gifts and joining secular organizations, the "plain people" refused to sign contracts with the AAA or accept its benefites, although they were willing to reduce acreage where the law required. Mennonites in industrial pay Social Security taxes but declare they will not accept Social Security pensions; nor will they join labor unions, although they meekly allow union dues to be "checked off" their wages. Amishmen and Mennonites of East Lampeter Township last year petitioned the Government not to grant $56,200 of PWA money to their school board for a consolidated school. When their petition failed and the school was completed, the Mennonites last month decided to defy the law and keep their children home. But liberal Governor George Howard Earle came to the rescue, or dered that they be permitted to put their children in rural schools as they had been accustomed to. In gratitude last week 500 Mennonites and Amishmen of East Lampeter voted to give Governor Earle a turkey, a jug of cider, a pumpkin and some corn, every Christmas as long as one-roo- PRIZE January had Shipper Bernsttein and passport was at first seized but later four of his managers (three Jewish) restored, may visit him for 20 minutes each Wednesday, other prisoners into with "eco- COOK 4-- H $395.00 clapped jail, charged nomic sabotage" through infringing German foreign exchange regulations, and in Hamburg last week Arnold Bernstein's trial began. Of all the indicteight charges in an ment against him, gravest was that several years ago he set aside in Manhattan banks a fund from the Arnold Bernstein & Red Star Lines' profits to be held for a rainy day. But Hamburg lawyers scoffed at news stories that Bernstein "faces death," expected him to get anything from a five-yejail sentence to pardon. Since Bernstein's arrest, Director Herman Kollmar of his Red Star Line has been in amicable contact with Minister President & Economic Di rector Herman Goring, seeking a par don, showing Ford and Studebaker company letters urging clemency. Meanwhile, Prisoner Bernstein has had a far happier lot in jail than most political prisoners. His clothes and laundry are sent in from his home his food from restaurants. He is allowed a glass of beer daily and a full bottle of burgundy on Sundays, is permitted to receive the London "Times" and TIME, a privilege few free Germans enjoy.
