Knutson Sees Tax Cut Clash With Marshall Plan Funds
Rep. Knutson of Minnesota says there is not enough money to finance both a $4 billion tax cut and the Marshall Plan. House Ways and Means predicts Europe aid under the plan may be limited to $1 billion next year. Knutson aims to push a third tax-cut bill through Congress, similar to prior proposals vetoed by President Truman, predicting it will pass despite a possible presidential veto. He argues government spending must be held steady to allow either the tax cuts or the Marshall Plan, calling a $5 billion annual Marshall commitment for years ahead "fantastic and out of the question."
