By THOM. ‘48 L.

This, of itself, will tend to mollify business a good deal, it is indicated by the enthusiastic reception given to the various plans suggested by Treasury Secretary Morgenthau for holding this tax in abeyance. Business tax revision depends upon two factors. Wait F. D. R. Signal First is President. Roosevelt. Just now both the Treasury and the Congressional tax leaders, Senator Harrison (D. Miss) and Rep. Robert 8. Doughton (D. N. C)). are awaiting further word from the President. He poured cold water on proposed revision plans a few weeks ago after business had been encouraged by pronouncements of Secretary Morgenthau and Commerce Seeretary Hopkins.
