Excess Profits Tax Suggested In Place Of New Levy
Washington July 13 The house ways and means committee discussed a heavy tax on excess profits as an alternative to a new progressive tax on corporations.

Reports floated suspending the Passamaquoddy tidal power project in Maine amid disputes over authority to administer it and political maneuvering amid Roosevelt era tensions. Secretary Hull said Kellogg Briand treaty binds signatory nations, signaling U.S. concern over possible Italy Ethiopia hostilities.
