CALIF ORN IA STATE CHAMBER FAVORS NEW TAX POLICY FOR U.S. _SAIN FRANCISCO, Dec. 11 — A series of post-war federal tax policies, designed to encourage expansion of industry under peace time conditions, and to maintain high levels of national income and employment, will be urged by the California chamber of commerce, if wags announced today by James Mussatti, general manager of the chamber. _ These policies developed by the chamber’s regional and statewide tax committees, are based on the belief that every effort, consistent with a balaneed federal budget, should be exerted to lower the tax burden on business and other sources--of--venture capital, Mussatti, stated. In pursuance of these policies, the state chamber will urge that congress take the following steps. Provide for progressive reduction of corporation income tax at the earliest practicable date; retaining, however the principle of graduated taxes rates applicable to corpora“1 tions earning less than $50,000.

Repeal the capital stock tax and the inter related declared value excess profits tax. Repeal provisions in the ‘eens reyenue code imposing a p per cent penalty for filing consolidated returns by affiliated companies. .

Deutsch provost of the University of California on the Berkeley campus, warned against “men who give international cooperation lip service, but in their hearts loathe it” that they ‘may not by chipping away at this section or this section or this chapter of thé plan ultimately bring it to naught.” Dr. Deutsch spoke before the St. Andrews Society. at its annual banquet. He asserted that “certainly, of the purposes of the proposed organization, named the United Nations, as set forth at Dumbarton Oaks, every sane human being must certainly approve.’ Further, he pointed out that the constitution of the Uni-, ted Staes was a compromise and its opponents pointed in fear to evils it was sure to bring, but that for 150. years it has given the best government in the world. “Fortunately,’’ he said, ‘‘the issue is not a partisan one, both party platforms and both candidates for the presidency expressed themselves for international cooperation.” But ,he warned that there’ are those in both parties who remain. : isolationnsts at’ heart and urged that the American people see to it that they are not misrepresented again, declaring the’ American people will not again have its hedsciass: and hopes frustrated.
