Green Bars Tax Cuts as Too Deep for Revenue
Chairman Green of the House Ways and Means Committee says the federal revenue for next year has been cut to the policy level already approved and opposes any further tax reductions. He warns the treasury cannot sustain reductions beyond 404,900,000 and cautions against using foreign debt proceeds for ordinary expenses. Green notes the revenue shortfall is linked to changing business conditions and expects a possible $40,000,000 to $100,000,000 revenue drop if business slows in 1928.
