Washington War Tax Clash Over Renegotiation Law
Undersecretary Patterson urged higher taxes on war contractors would fuel inflation and waste scarce resources. He opposed repealing the renegotiation law which recovers excessive profits. A joint War Navy and Treasury report tallies 16 months of renegotiations: $4.4 billion in excess profits recovered, with cash refunds and price reductions by Army Navy and Maritime Commission. Chamber and Manufacturers urge suspending recapture, favor tax-based profits recovery.
