Americans in Mexico protest tax rule under peso standard
In Mexico City on March 20 the Times reports protests by Americans resident in Mexico over Commissioner Speer’s ruling that income be taxed at home. They note incomes paid in pesos are devalued by market rates, causing taxes to feel like a doubled burden amid wartime costs and remittance needs to families back in the United States. A colony member complains protection from Washington would ease the burden, but the four to one exchange leaves incomes taxed as if at two to one.
