An Immedl- . 000,000,000 reduction in foil rraiX taxes win stiRRCstcd hi n stntc- racnt issued jesterduy by William 0. McAdoo, onc-tlmo secretary of the treasury. Tho present tax burden Is too great, lie said, nnd is "huviujf nn injurioii"! effort ou luslness." Mr. McAdoo proposed that collec tion oC u tux to establish n nitikluK fund for retirement of the nr debt, which was recommended by Carter niasi, recently Kocretary, to begin with the llscnl year lOUO, be postponed for two j ears, nnd that tho deferred pay ments of European interest be funded until Hurono is In position to pay its interest clmrgis. "The llnaiirial policies of the lation nn imbudittl in future congressional legMatimi," aid Mr. McAdoo. "should irnllzr the utmost economy in rxpen ilitiire nnd iniglit ell fund m loug lerm bniuls M .000.000,000 n vnr for two eirs of the nmount now ruistd by tuxntlnn ' 1 ndcr ihe laws, n tax to establish n 1 per cent kinking fund to retire bonds now outstanding is to bo collected, be ginning with the fiscal yeur, 1!HM. That wrll might be postponed nt least two years nnd thus reduce the tax burden by $2.10.000.000 annually. There, too. is the debt Kuropc owes us. which now nmount- to about $10,000 OOO.liOO. If the economic lcstoration of l.urope hnd proceeded far enough so that Ktiropo could pay now interest on this debt (ns she will bo ablo within n few years), wo should have nn Incopio of SiiOU.OOO. 000 from this source. Hut Hint is not now uvnllnblo. Why not fund that amount against the dny when it will, come back to us? "Hy postponing two years the eslab I llshment of a sinking fund and funding' tlio deferred nnvmenls of Huroncail in terest we should cover $750,000,000 of tho $1. 000,000,000 by which our taxa tion might bo reduced. Dv discontinu ing purchases of Liberty lionds for re tirement under provisions of existing law the Treasury would be relieved of ft large burden now rcllectcd in the fjont ing debt, n burden that otherwise will lmo to bo mndc up by taxnllon."
