Baruch Denounces Nye Committee Attacks on Tax Returns
Bernard Baruch, former head of the War Industries Board, denounces as cheap and unjust the Nye committee’s claim that his 1918 and 1919 income tax returns were destroyed. He offers to provide copies of the returns to Sen. Nye and committee members, saying the publicity implies wrongdoing and unfairly targets him. He asserts he never bought securities during government service and rejects insinuations of governmental favoritism.
