Duty to Revise Taxes Group Told by Haynes
John W. Hanes, undersecretary of the treasury, told the House Ways and Means Committee the administration has a duty to adjust the tax system to stimulate business. He backed President Morgenthau’s tax reform plan, urged removing irritants like undistributed profits tax, and argued social security and relief drive federal expenditures. He said private enterprise must recover to fund the budget, and that higher national income is needed rather than mere spending cuts.
