Trade Agreements To Be Renewed
A debate on renewing Secretary Hull's trade pacts pits isolationist conservatism against the Roosevelt approach. Proponents say reciprocal agreements advance good neighbor relations without harming tariff income, while opponents attack the practice as treaty redirection. The two-year term is deemed preferable to longer or shorter plans, aiming for constitutional permanence and mutual trust among nations.

At Last A Tax Bill Forgives Some 1942 Tax Debts
The House approved a controversial income tax bill and sent it to the Senate. It adopts a pay as you go approach, aims to reduce persistent government debt, and features forgiveness for 1942 taxes under $50 while larger amounts face delayed payment and a 25 percent surcharge. The political year influence shapes this compromise, with further debate anticipated.

Tax bill creates new, discriminatory collection rule
The conferees propose credits and partial payments for small tax bills, granting $50 credit for balances under $66.67 and requiring a quarter of the difference above $50. Critics call the scheme unfair and say it targets taxpayers with 1942 bills near $50, arguing it betrays fair tax policy.
