Treasury's Complex Tax Problems and Policy Push
Fred M. Vinson outlines a major drive against tax evasion, detailing growth in taxpayers from 4.9 million in 1940 to over 50 million, staff expansion from 22 thousand to 50 thousand, and a planned 5,000-strong investigative force. He argues tax enforcement protects honest taxpayers, likens evasion to theft from neighbors, and emphasizes revenue recovery and fairness amid wartime shortages. The effort aims to gather information, provide evidence, and pursue evaders while serving as a lawful, businesslike enforcement against black markets and racketeers.
