Taft Proposes Pay As You Go Tax Increase Plan

The plan relies on broad economic expansion beyond rate hikes and faces opposition from Senator George who warns an excess profits tax cannot be effective before 1951. Secretary Snyder indicates a comprehensive tax package will be sent to Congress in January to curb undue war profits.
