Government to Cut Expenses and Oppose New Fields
Secretary Glass advised Congress that no prudent tax cuts should be planned for the next two fiscal years as government receipts must stay at current levels to end borrowing. He projected large deficits for 1920 and 1921, urged denial of expenditures in new fields, and criticized excess profits taxes for spurring waste and high living costs while hindering private enterprise. He called for pensioning peacetime excess profits laws and redirecting focus to restoring private initiative and reducing government influence on foreign trade.
