payment to the Creditor Governments signatory to the agreements relative
to the settlement of the Relief Debts, of the amounts due to them on

IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 6, 1934.
The Secretary of the Treasury today made public the following
correspondence:
January 5, 1934.
Hon. Henry Morgenthau, Jr.,
Secretary of the Treasury,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Henry:
When you first asked me to come down to Washington to help out in the
Treasury, I told you that I could do so only on a temporary basis; that
one of my then senior partners, Mr. Henry Seligman, was not in good health
and if anything were to happen so that he could not continue to take an^
active part in the affairs of the firm, I should have to leave on relatively
short notice. As you know, when Mr. Seligman died two weeks a go I told
you that I must finish up my work here as soon as possible and go back to
New York.
I want to inconvenience you about this as little as necessary,
and I therefore resign to take effect some time in January at your con
venience.
I am sure you will do your best to release me as soon as you
can.
Needless to say, I regret very much having to pull out, but I know
that you agree with me that my obligations being what they are, I have
no alternative.
In view of the organization that you have now built up,
I feel sure that my going will not be of any real inconvenience to you.
I have had a grand time working with you and it has been a privilege
which I shall not forget.
With best regards, I am,
Faithfully yours,
(Signed)
EARLE BAILIE.
January 6,
1934,
Dear Earle:
In reply to your letter of January 5th I can only repeat what I have
already told you, how much I regret that you find it necessary to return
to New York.
Daring your short stay at the Treasury you have rendered
real service to the President and to me.

No* 1 - 1 5
Following is the text of an address made by Secretary Morgenthau
for the sound cameras today, (January 16, 1934):
The President has informed the Congress and the American
people about U s plans for a new and sounder money system, one
that will serve better the needs of a m o d e m nation.
There is
about four billion dollars of monetary gold in the country.
Under the Presidentas plan all of this gold will be held in the
United States Treasury to protect and maintain the value of our
money.
The President now has authority to reduce the amount of
gold in the dollar*
He has asked Congress to decide that if and
when he makes use of this authority the new dollar shall contain
not more than 60 per cent, nor less than 50 per cent, of the
present amount of gold.
Changing the amount of gold in the dollar does not mean
an7. change in the number of dollars you hold or the dollars you
owe.
Your bank deposit and your checks and your notes will
still represent the same number of dollars and there will still
be one hundred cents in every dollar.
The dollar will be
backed by the full credit and resources of the United States
government and the American people.
The Presidentas plan means that the money system of the
country shall be managed for you to the end that a more steady
purchasing power for your dollar will be maintained*.
It is forbidden by existing law (Title 18, Section 340,
U, S. Code and Supp. V; Section 588, Postal Laws and Regula
tions 1932) to convey in the domestic mails spirituous, vinous,
malted, fermented, or other intoxicating liquors of ary kind;
consequently such liquors cannot be imported through the in
ternational mail service.
f
Where mail parcels containing such liquors are observed
in the mails from foreign countries, provision is made where
by the parcels may be appropriately endorsed and returned to
the country of origin. Where such parcels are marked for
abandonment or where for other reasons they are not returned
to the country of origin or exported, they shall be turned
over to Customs by the Postal Service for disposition as
seized merchandise.

Suggestion of the possibility of a house-to-house canvass through
out the United States by Treasury representatives to make certain that income
tax returns are filed by all who should file them and to promote better col
lection of taxes was broached to collectors and revenue agents meeting here
today by Henry Morgenthau, Jr., Secretary of the Treasury.
The Secretary
asked the Internal Revenue officials to take the plan under consideration
and to report their conclusions to him.
On their recommendations will de
pend, he said, whether he asks the Civil Works Administration for an allo
cation of funds to cover the expense of the canvass.
The Secretary addressed the Internal Revenue officials, who are
holding a three-day conference here at his request,
the National Museum.
in the Auditorium of
Officials, division and section heads of the Bureau
in Washington were also present.
Qp.otas of tax collections by districts which the collectors and
their staffs will be asked to meet during the calendar year were laid be
fore them.
These set as the minimum objective collection of $200,000,000
in back taxes during the year, representing an increase of 51 per cent over
budget estimates of $132,400,000.
The budget estimates are approximately
the same as the collections for the calendar year 1933,
nWe shall watch the work done by each district every month , 1

Secretary Morgenthau said,
others are doing.
’’and we shall let each of you know what the
We hope to stimulate an interest that will mean a con
siderable gain in revenue to the Government.M
Expressing his belief that weekly staff meetings of heads of
divisions and bureaus of the Treasury Department which he had inaugurated
when he became acting secretary had contributed to ’’better teamwork,” the
Secretary suggested that it would be a good plan for heads of different
Treasury activities in other cities where there are district headquarters
to get together at regular weekly luncheons.
’’You should be able in that way to help each other and to promote
better service to the public by the Treasury Department,” he said.
Other speakers before the conference today were Guy T. Helvering,
Commissioner of Internal Revenue; Roswell Magill, adviser on taxation in
the Treasury Department; Wright Matthews, Deputy Commissioner, and E.

J a m a r y 20 * 1934-
Many inquiries made of the Bureau of the Budget concerning
(1) the allocation of funds by the Public Works Administration from
the appropriation of June 16, 1933, of $3,300,000,000,
for National
Industrial Recovery, and also concerning (2) the expenditures of the

Receipts of silver "by the United States Mints under the Executive Order
of December 21, 1933, were 477 ounces for the week ending January 19, 1934.
All of this was received "by the Denver Mint.
Total receipts since the President's proclamation "became effective have
"been 2,181 ounces, of which 1,789 ounces were received at Denver and 392
ounces at San Erancisco.

would indicate a monthly production of close to 2,000,000 ounces.
This
The
relatively insignificant amount so far received "by the Mints is explained
"by the fact that the production of refined silver is a "by-product of the re
finement of other metals, notably copper, and therefore a considerable time

silver may be delivered to the Mints,
Inquiry has been made as to how many silver dollars have been coined by

The answer is that none have
The Executive Order authorizes the retention of one-half of
the silver received as seigniorage and the coinage of the remainder into
standard silver dollars.
The 2,181 ounces of silver so far received would
thus enable the Mints to coin about 1,500 standard silver dollars.
The
capacity of the three United States Mints, on a single shift basis, is
140,000
silver dollars a day, as follows:
40,000; San Francisco, 40,000.
Philadelphia, 60,000; Denver,
To coin 1,500 standard silver dollars would
take less than one-half hour's operation at any one of the Mints.
The fact
is that not enough silver has been received to justify starting operations.

The Secretary of the Treasury today announced the revocation
of three outstanding Treasury orders affecting trade with Soviet Russia,
1,
A letter to the Director of the Mint rescinds instructions con
tained in Treasury Department letters of November 26 and December 23, 1920,
and advises the Director of the Mint that gold of Soviet origin may now be
received by the Mints upon the same basis as gold received from other na
tions,
The orders of November 26 and December 23 required the Mints to
reject all gold known to be of Soviet origin, or which as the result of
investigation appeared to be of Soviet origin or involved in transactions
for Soviet account.
Gold suspected to be of Soviet origin, or involved
in transactions for Soviet account, if tendered United States Mints or
Assay
Offices, was to be received only subject to investigation.
2,
Treasury Department Order 44620 of February 10, 1931, a finding
that convict labor is used in the production of lumber and pulpwood in
certain areas in European Russia, is vacated by a new order "without
prejudice to the presentation of evidence by any and all parties who may
be interested, or to the Departments liberty, upon its own motion, to re
examine the facts by the use of representatives of the Government soon to
be available in Russia",
The localities of European Russia affected by order 44620 were:
(1) the Kola Peninsula,, including the Murraan Coast; (2) the Karelian
Autonomous Soviet Republic; (3) the Northern area; (4) Zyrian Autonomous
-
area.
2
-
The effect of the order was that lumber and pulpwood originating
from these areas in Russia were not permitted entry until the importer,
by preponderance of evidence, established that the particular shipment
was not produced wholly or in part by enforced convict labor-.
The new
order states that in view of the conflict in the evidence on which the
original order was based and its inconclusive character nit can not now
be accepted by the Department, which will shortly be in position to make
a direct investigation of the facts by its own officers”»
3.
Treasury Department Order 44037 of May 19, 1930, in which the
Secretary of the Treasury made a finding of dumping with respect to safety
matches from the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics (Soviet Russia), is
vacated in the same manner as the order above referred to.

lished as TD-44037 is not supported by evidence at all sufficient to
warrant it”

Department letters to you dated November 26 and

TO COLLECTORS OF CUSTOMS AND OTHERS CONCERNED:
Reference is made to T. D* 44620> a finding that convict
labor is used in the production of lumber and pulpwood in certain
areas in European Russia*
The Department has carefully reviewed the record on which
this finding was based* It is found that the evidence, in so far
as it bears directly on the question involved, consists of affi
davits of various persons, some testifying of their own knowledge
and some by hearsay, that convict labor was used in lumber camps
in various localities in Northern Russia* In so far as such evi
dence is direct, it consists mainly of affidavits of refugees
from Soviet Russia. In a few cases the affiants appeared person
ally before United States officers in countries other than Russia
and testified orally in support of their affidavits.
This evidence is contradicted by affidavits and statements of
Russian officials that no convict labor was used in lumber and
pulpwood production, and by affidavits of persons who had visited
the localities in question and declared they saw no convict labor.
It is the opinion of the Department that in view of the con
flict in this evidence and its inconclusive character, it can not
now be accepted by the Department, which will shortly be in a posi
tion to make a direct investigation of the facts by its own officers.
It thus appearing that, on the record, the finding in question
is not supported by evidence at all sufficient to warrant it, the
same is vacated without prejudice to the presentation of evidence
"by any and all parties who may be interested, or to the Depart
ment's liberty, upon its own motion, to reexamine the facts by
the use of representatives of the Government soon to be avail- •
able in Russia.

TO COLLECTORS OF CUSTOMS AND OTHERS CONCERNED:
The Department refers to T. D. 44037, of May 19, 1930, in
which the Secretary of the Treasury made a finding of dumping
with respect to safety matches from the Union of Socialist
Soviet Repuolics (Soviet Russia).
It appears from the Depart
ment's files that the finding that such merchandise was heing
sold^and was likely to he sold for less than its fair value was
predicated upon the existence of a foreign market value higher
than the exporter’s sales price. The Department’s 'evidence of
this foreign market value consisted of official bulletins of the
Soviet government setting forth certain so-called "wholesale
prices" and of evidence in affidavit form corroborating these
bulletins.
The Department is now satisfied that the conditions of the
sales to which these prices relate is such that they do not estab
lish a foreign market value within the meaning of the statute.
The Department has no evidence at this time of any other sales
and prices which would establish a foreign market value, or of
the cost of production as defined in the statute.
It thus appearing that, on the record, the finding published
as T. D. 44037 is not supported by evidence at all sufficient to
warrant it, the same is vacated without prejudice to the presenta
tion of evidence by any and all parties who may be interested, or
to the Department’s liberty, upon its own motion, to reexamine the
facts by the use of representatives of the Government soon to be
available in Russia.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESS
For Immediate Release
February 2, 1934
Newspapers of last night and this morning carry re
ports of what was assumed to he a "joker” in the liquor taxing
act of 1934, which would make the buyer of distilled spirits,
the container of which does not bear an Internal Revenue strip
stamp, equally liable with the seller to penalties, which might
be a fine not exceeding $ 1,000 or imprisonment not exceeding
five years.
The assumption that there is such a joker in the act
was based on the fact that the Senate eliminated from Section
210, Title II in two places the words "for sale".
Those who
have assumed that this made the buyer liable have evidently
failed to read the remainder of the section which contains these
words:
"The provisions of this Title shall not apply to
— **** (f) Distilled spirits not intended for sale
or for use in the manufacture or production of any
article intended for sale.n
It is thus apparent that the buyer of distilled alcoholic liquors
in unstamped bottles is not liable under this act unless he buys
for the purpose of reselling.

Memorandum for the Press
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 7, 1934.
The purchaser of bottled, whisky will be able to identify it on and after
February 10 as a legal product upon which the tax has been paid, it was pointed
out at the Treasury Department today.
Beginning on that date, each bottle
will be required to bear a red strip-stamp passing over the mouth of the bottle.
Dealers who have distilled spirits in stock on February 10 will have ten days
in which to obtain the necessary stamps to affix to the bottles.
The stamp
will bear the name of the distiller,wholesaler, or importer, will state that
the tax has been paid to the Gpvernment, and will indicate the quantity of
liquor contained in the bottle.
Whisky will no longer be sold in bulk packages, under the Liquor Taxing
Act of 1934 and regulations issued by the Bureau of Internal Revenue, except
for certain specific purposes, not connected for the most part with retail
trade.
All whisky which is purchased for resale to the consumer must be in
bottles and must bear the red strip-stamp.
The green strip-stamp now in use for bottled-in-bond whisky and the blue
strip-stamp now used on whisky intended for export will be continued.
The purpose of the new regulation is to notify the public that bottled
liquor which does not bear a stamp is probably illegally produced or the tax
has not been paid.
The stamps denote quantity in the container and are for a
quart, a fifth, a pint, half-pint, and less than half-pint*
Each stamp costs
one cent, except those for less than half-pint containers, which are one-quarter
cent each.
The stamps are engraved and printed by the Bureau of Printing and Engraving,
and not easily counterfeited.
of spurious stamps.
Every precaution is being taken against the use
The strip-stamp must he broken when the cork is pulled, and must he
entirely effaced when the hottle is empty.
If the stamp is broken at
the time of purchase, the hottle may he a refill.
Heavy penalties are provided for the sale of unstamped whislgr, and
for failure to destroy the stamp, when the hottle is opened.

was the only United States Mint at the time.

UAt a meeting of the Commissioners appointed by an

Treasurer, Chief Coiner, Assayer and Melter and Refiner of
the Mint "The Commissioners proceeded to count and examine the
reserves of silver coin found in the chest under two locks,
the keys of which had been kept by the Assayer and Treasurer,
and compared them with the book in which they had been entered*
and on finding them agreeably (sis) thereto; it was ordered
that the whole of the reserved pieces should be melted into
one mass, and assayed in two separate parcells —
It was ordered, that one parcell of pure silver* with
the proportionate alloy of copper to make it equal with the
standard of the United States, should be assayed at the same
time, and under the same circumstances, to serve as a proof
of the assay of the coin "The gold coin reserved in like manner was also counted
and compared with the book and appearing to be right, was di
rected to be melted and assayed in like manner.
"The silver assays being made and compared with the
proof assay, it appeared that they agreed within 3 grains to
12 ounces, the coin being so much less than standard "The gold assays being made and accurately weighed and
compared with the standard appeared to be the 384th part worse
than the standard.

The New York Federal advises that a number of importers of gold have
become apprehensive about the price receivable for their gold by reason
of the unavoidable delays caused in the settlement with the Mints and
Assay Offices.
They believe that the uncertainty is having a bad effect
not only at home but abroad.
The attached telegram is designed to make
it clear that the rate of payment is the rate prevailing on the day a
deposit with the accompanying papers is made.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESS.
(Immediate Release)
FEBRUARY 21,1954
The Secretary of the Treasury today (February 21,1934) sent a,
telegram to the Governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of Hew York and
to tue superintendents of the mints and assay offices advicing them
that the price to he paid for gold offered for sale is that prevailing
on the day of the deposit of the gold.
The telegram explains that the day of the deposit of the gold
is the day when the gold, and the required accompanying papers (other
than tne certificate of the Collector of Customs) are received in
proper order.
Unavoidable delays in settlement with the mints and the assay
offices caused by receipt of heavy shipments of gold are said te be
causing uncertainty on the part of some shippers of gold.
The object
of the telegrams sent by the Secretary today is to clear up any uncer
tainty that may exist.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MARCH 3, 1934.
As a result of his discovery that some Washington retail liquor stores
are displaying for sale whisky and other distilled spirits which do not have
affixed to them the strip stamp required "by the liquor taxing act of 1934,
Secretary Morgenthau issued a warning today that the law would he strictly
enforced and called attention to its penal provisions*
The provisions of the law relating to strip stamps on bottles and
other containers went into effect February 10, but by a Treasury decision
those who held stocks of distilled spirits were given until February 20 to
apply for stamps.
Manufacturers, importers and distributors were not required
to open cases packed prior to February 10 to affix the stamps, but were per
mitted to deliver the necessary stamps along with the unbroken cases to re
tailers.
In a circular letter issued today the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
advises collectors that they may continue for the present to sell the stamps
to retailers who execute affidavits that their failure to obtain the stamps
was due to ignorance or to other circumstances which do not indicate intent
to violate or evade the law.
Penalties for violation include forfeiture of the unstamped liquor, a
fine up to $1,000 and imprisonment up to five years.
Under the law any bottle or other container of distilled spirits sold
or offered for sale must bear the new red strip stamp over the cork unless it
is ’’required to be stamped under existing law”.
In the case of bottled goods
sold at retail this exception coveys only liquor bottled in bond, which is
—
2 •—
required to bear the brown bottled-in-bond strip stamp.
The law does not
require the stamp on beverages of which wine is the alcoholic ingredient,
but only on distilled spirits, such as whisky, brandy, rum, gin, and
liqueurs and cordials prepared with a spirits base*

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE,
MARCH 9, 1934.
Press Service
No. 1 - 4 6
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue announced today (Friday, March
9), that no more strip stamps for containers of distilled spirits would be
sold to retailers after tomorrow (Saturday, March 10).
•
,1934.
These are the red strip stamps authorized by the Liquor Taxing Act of
The title of the act which requires that such a stamp shall be affixed
to bottles and -other containers of distilled spirits sold or possessed for
sale went into effect February 10, but ten days additional time was granted
for the purchase of stamps.
In the case of retailers this was further ex
tended a week ago by advice to collectors of internal revenue that they could
continue to sell the stamps to retailers who could show that their failure to
obtain them was due to ignorance or some other reason than intent to evade the
law.
It is the belief of officers of the Bureau of Internal Revenue that all
dealers have had full opportunity to learn the provisions of the law and to
obtain and affix the necessary stamps.
The stamp is intended as evidence that the liquor contained in the
bottle or other container so stamped is fully tax-paid.
It must be affixed
to every bottle or other container of distilled spirits offered or possessed
for sale unless the container or bottle already carries the green bottled— inbond stamp also issued by the United States Bureau of Internal Revenue.
Con
tainers of imported liquors must carry the stamp as well as those produced in
the United States.
In the case of imported liquors it is evidence that both
customs duties and internal revenue taxes have been paid.
X
p
-
2
-
The act provides severe penalties for violation and it is the intention
of the Treasury Department and the Bureau, of Internal Revenue to enforce it
strictly..
L
i
Liquor not carrying the stamp is subject to seizure and forfeiture
in addition violators are liable to a fine not exceeding $1,000 and im~
prisonment not exceeding five years.
These same penalties attach to counter
feiting or re—using the stamps, refilling bottles without destroying the
stamps or affixing the stamps to any container of liquor on which required taxes
have not been fully paid.
Distilled spirits required to be thus stamped include whiskey, brandy,
rum, gin and any liqueurs or cordials made from a spirit base»
Distillers and rectifiers are required to affix the stamps in their
plants, but stamps have been sold to distributors up to February
20
and to
retailers since then so that they could be affixed to stocks on hand»
Manu
facturers and distributors were also permitted to purchase the required number
of stamps and send them along to retailers with unbroken cases of liquors.
Importers were allowed the same privilege.
This privilege does not apply to
domestic liquor packed after the law went into effect.

No. 1 - 51
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue announced today that, with the
approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, he had decided to revoke his
ruling of December 11, 1933, approving for use by the Axton-Fisher
Tobacco Company of Louisville, Kentucky, packages containing five cigar
ettes, each eleven inches long, and classifying them as Class B. cigar
ettes taxable at $7.20 per thousand.
The tobacco company has been notified that it will be given an
opportunity before an effective date for the revocation is fixed to pre
sent evidence as to commitments or purchases of materials for this special
type of cigarette made by it after receipt of the Bureau's letter of
approval of the package and in reliance upon it.
The revenue act of 1926, Section 400 (a), provides two classes of
cigarettes for taxation purposes.
Class A, consisting of cigarettes
weighing not more than three pounds per thousand,
$3 per thousand.
is taxable at the rate of
Class B, weighing more than three pounds per thousand, is
taxable at the rate of $7.20 per thousand.
The package containing five 11-inch cigarettes, which has been placed
on the market by the Axton-Fisher Company,
is so marked and perforated as
to be easily divisible with a knife into four packages, each containing
five cigarettes of the standard length of
the brand label.
2- 3/4
inches and each bearing
The cigarettes themselves, although undivided, have the
brand name imprinted in four places.
Each package of five long cigarettes,
-

-
while capable of being quickly divided into four parts containing in all
I
20 cigarettes of standard size, is subject under the ruling of December
f
11» 1033, to a tax of 3,6 cents, while the standard package of 20 cigar
ettes is subject to a tax of
I
6 cents.
The 11-inch cigarettes are manufactured to retail at
8 cents
per
package and it was the contention of representatives of the company, who
conferred with officers of the Bureau of Internal Revenue on March
1,
when the question of revocation of the December 11 ruling was discussed,
that the market for them was largely among users of "roll-your-ownM cigar
ettes and that therefore their sale would not result in reduction of
Federal revenues.
8
Officers of the Bureau and of the Treasury Department now take the
position that this form of package and cigarette should not have been
approved for taxation as Class B cigarettes,

fest evasion of the Revenue Act.

Exchange subscriptions amounting to about $550,000,000 had been received
up to the close of business on Saturday for the new series of 3 l/4 per cent
10-12 year bonds to be issued on April 16, Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau
announced today.
Securities which may be exchanged for the new bonds are Fourth Liberty Loan
bonds which have been called for redemption April 15 and Treasury Notes of
Series A-1934, maturing May 2.
these two securities only.
The new bonds may be obtained in exchange for
There will be no cash sale.
"While applications for exchange have been coming in with gratifying
promptness," said Secretary Morgenthau, "it is possible that some holders of
the securities eligible for exchange, particularly holders of the called Fourth
Liberties, may not realize fully the advantages of making the exchange.
It is
probable also that some holders of the Fourth Liberties have not noticed that
their bonds have been called for redemption on April 15 and that payment of
interest on them will cease on that date.
It is important to them that they
should not overlook the advantages of conversion..
"In view of the attractiveness to investors of the exchange offering, both
securities are being quoted at substantial premiums.
These premiums will of
course vanish when the opportunity to make the exchange terminates within the
next few days.
The Treasury is concerned that none of the holders of these
securities shall suffer a loss because of lack of information."
The Treasury notes eligible for exchange are the entire series A-1934 of 3
per cent Treasury notes maturing May 2, amounting to $244,234,600.
The Fourth
Liberty Loan bonds called for redemption amount to about one billion dollars
out of a total of approximately $5,367,000,000 outstanding.
They consist of all
Fourth Liberty Loan bonds whose serial numbeis end with the digit 9,0 or 1.

POR RELEASE, MORNING NEWSPAPERS
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 1934
4 - 10 - 1934
Press Service
No. 1 - 60
A finding of damping covering rye grain imported from Poland
is not justified, according to a ruling made today by the Secretary o
the Treasury.
The Treasury decision was made after conference with
the Department of Agriculture on charges that the rye imports were
in violation of the Antidumping Act of 1921.
"After investigation and careful consideration of the evi
dence presented", the Secretary’s ruling reads,
"I have reached the
conclusion that a finding of dumping with respect to rye grain from
Poland is not justified."
Treasury action was supported by an opinion of the Secretary
of Agriculture that imports of rye from Poland at the present time
are not likely to affect significantly the American rye producer.
All the indications are that there are very small stocks of rye in
the hands of farmers at the present time, according to the Department
of Agriculture.
Moreover, an increase in the duty on rye from Poland
would not, in the opinion of that Department, relieve United States
markets of pressure of foreign supplies.
There would rather be a
tendency toward a shift to imports from other sources of supply, it
was held,

Suits and claims of depositors and debtors involving offset
and consequent de terminât ion of net deposit liability are pending.
fhe bill does not provide for the determining of such matters.
Suits involving collection of stock assessments already levied
are pending and no provision of the bill provides for the disposition
of same. Inasmuch as the leçons true tion Finance Corporation cannot
enjoy the benefit of these assessments to the exclusion of non
depositor creditors and in fact may not be entitled to participate
therein at all, and since once & receiver is in charge he alone can
collect such assessment, it follows that the Reconstruction finance
Corporation could not proceed on its own behalf to collect such
assessment.
If the receivers are to remain in charge of banks to
collect such assessments, then since the Recons true ti on Finance
Corporation will have taken possession of all the assets, there will
be no means of carrying the expense of such receivership and litigation
pertaining thereto except by anticipation against hoped-for collections
which may not materiaàixe •
Ho doubt one of the objects of the bill is to stimulate recovery
b y promoting industrial activity and employment. Thie will not neces
sarily follow because an analysis of the distribution that will be
made®to the depositors of a large closed city bank shows that Hb per
centum would be received by 1/2 of 1 per centum of the depositors, while
in a small country bank, U4 per centum would go to 7*3 P«r centum of
the depositors.
In other words, nearly half of the money to be dis
tributed would be received by about four per centum of the depositors,
r.Tifi this group may in large part place comparatively little thereof
in circulation by purchase of commodities or in industrial activity
productive of employment. Since the program urustbbe financed ultimately
t h r o u # taxation, there is a serious question whether taxation may be
resorted to for the benefit of such an arbitrarily selected class,
particularly where half of the proceeds will be enjoyed by a compara
tively small group in the class intended to be benefited.
In the last analysis this bill would establish the principle
of guaranty by the United States of bank deposits, past, present,
and future.
- k -
different problem arises.
It may be true that under this theory the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation would, on the principle of subroge»
tion, beeentitled to proceed against the shareholders for any deficiency
to the same extent that the depositors had that right. On this theory,
however, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation would obtain only such
rights in the assets as the depositors had. Future developments In
realisation on assets of some of the banks involved, especially of
banks in conservatorship, may be such that in ordinary course of
liquidation there will be a surplus for distribution to shareholders.
On the theory of subrogation, these rights would have to be considered,
but the present bill entirely overlooks any property rights of such
shareholders and purports to Invest absolute title in the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation to all future recovery on the assets taken over.
fte bill attempts to suspend the Statute of limitations,
apparently to enable the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to obey
the mandate given that it allow debtors ten years to pay and yet avoid
the barring of such debts by State Statute of Limitations of shorter
duration, ffaere may be some question as to whether Congress can sus
pend the operation of a State Statute of Limitations now operating in
favor of an existing debtor, unless the debtor consents under the cir
cumstances here involved.
ïhere are pending or in prospect numerous suits against bank
directors based on their civil liability to the bank’s depositors and
other creditors. Ho adequate provision Is made for carrying on such
litigation or giving the Reconstruction Finance Corporation any benefit
of recovery therefrom. Furthermore, since the depositors are to be
paid in full, the bulk of such directors* liability as now exists may
thereby be extinguished, because such liability is based on loss to the
creditors; hence, may be substantially eliminated to the extent that
depositor creditors are relieved from loss through payment by the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
It is doubtful whether the Reconstruction Finance Corporation
will be subrogated to the rights of the bank or its receiver against
the sureties on fidelity bonds, particularly in view of the provis
ions of me&y of the surety contracts involved. Numerous suits and
claims of this character involving large sums are pending.
Shore are pending many suits and claims of depositors involving
determination of the amount of the bank’s deposit obligation to them
or whether or not there is in fact a deposit obligation or an obliga
tion of a different character. Ho provision of the bill adequately
cares for this situation.
- 3 If tlxis legislation Is based on an Implied governmental guaranty of
safety as set forth in its title, then it would see» such implied
gjuuranty has been equally given to all the excluded classes of deposi
tors and to creditors other than depositors as wsEU
If these excluded
classes must be included to sustain the constitutionality of the legis
lation, the cost to the taxpayers will, of course, greatly exceed
estimates herein submitted*
Provision is made that all remaining assets of the banks, in
cluding assessment liability of shareholders, shall pass to the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation. This is an effort to accomplish
what is deemed a legal impossibility as against creditors other than
depositors*
'The Supreme Court of the United States has held several
times that the rights of all creditors attach to the bank* s assets at
suspension, and that the assessment liability of shareholders is an
asset belon ing to the creditors (Scott v* Deweese, 1S1 U. S. 202, ©to.).
Provision is made under the national Bank Act, tJ* $• Code, title 12,
section 65 for the direct enforcement of shareholders* liability by
the creditors without intervention of a receiver. Hundreds of millions
of dollars are owed by closed banks to open banks that hold deficiency
notes of such banks or have loaned money to them. Closed banks are
indebted la large amounts to beneficiaries of trust estates adminis
tered b y their trust departments. They are largely indebted on out
standing drafts and checks. Hone of these obligations are depositor
obligations and none would be provided for by this bill. Consequently,
such creditors would appear to have a prior claim against the assets
of the banks and the assessment liability of their ¿larehol&ers, which
prior claim cannot be destroyed b y this legislation, even though it
attempt to do so and which would sub a tant tally reduce the figures
above given as to the estimated probable recovery b y the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation and correspondingly increase the figures as to the
ultimate cost or loss involved under this plan.
If the transaction is consider *4 as a sale of assets, then the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation does not become a creditor of the
bank; hence, is not entitled to assert assessment liability against
its shareholders, Inasmuch as such liability is for the benefit of
creditors only. If the Reconstruction Finance Corporation is to be
considered as becoming a creditor of the bank by virtue of the trans
action, it becomes such after the bank*s suspension, as to banks in
the hands of receivers, and the courts hold that shareholders are not
subject to assessment for debts arising subsequent to suspension.
If, on the other hand, the purpose of the bill is to create what
is, in effect, a purchase from the shareholders of their rights, in
exchange for a payment to them of the amount of their deposit, a
-
2-
"borrowed to finance thin plan» and by the expense incurred over the
10 year period in liquidating the assets of the banks#
If, as is likely, in this instance, it is found that adoption
of the bill can be had only b y amending it to include State nonmember banks, the ultimate loss will be increased to an extent far
beyond present computation*
The title of the bill states that its proposals are in fulfill
ment of the implied guaranty by the Government of deposit safety in
national and State member banks* This is considered a most hazardous
responsibility to admit or accept*
It establishes a precedent that
may be extended to any business activity over which the Government
exercises any supervision* 'Urns the holders of the bond© of Joint
Stock
Banks and of Federal Land Banks and of the debentures of
Federal Intermediate Credit Banks would be in a position to contend
that the Government *s supervision over these agencies, being similar
to that which it exercises over national Banks, entitles such holder©
to recover from the Government anx loss which they may ever have
sustained as a result of dealingffi&m securities. Indeed, a
similar argument might be advanced with respect to other business
activities supervised to any extent by the Government, such as the
sale of alcoholic liquor, railroads, radio, and possibly even to
include individual losses, on securities registered under the
Securities Act, and in the stock market in the event that the
Government assumed supervision thereof*
It is not clear whether the bill is limited to banks closed at
date of its enactment or whether it embraces banks that suspend any
time in the future*
If the latter are included, the obligation being
assumed Is immeasurable, and it would seem the functions of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation as insurer of deposits will be entirely
superceded. If the plan is not to extend to future suspensions, it is
difficult to see how a distinction between depositors of a bank closing
before the bill*» enactment and depositors of one closing a week there
after can be supported legally or in principle. Like comment m ay be
made on the fact that no relief is given to the depositors of hundreds
of closed banks who in the past year waived part of their deposits in
order to restore the banks to solvency under Section 207
Conservation Act or to the non-consenting minority of depositors in
such banks who lost part of their deposits involuntarily due to the
operation of Section 207* Those who voluntarily waived part of their
deposits are penalized for their patriotic effort to reopen the hanks
during this emergency, whereas if they had acted otherwise the resps
tive banks would be in receivership and under this bill those deposi
tors would be paid in full. Depositors of closed basks, liquidation
of which has been completed and receivers discharged are likewise
excluded* There have been 267 such receiverships of national banks
closed the past three year® with substantial loss to depositors*
MEMORANDUM
Reference is made to S. 29H9 , being a bill **to promote re
sumption of Industrial activity. Increase employment, and restore
confidence by fulfillment of the implied guaranty by the United States
Government of deposit safety in national banks*. This bill directs
the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to purchase and liquidate the
remaining assets of closed national banks and State member banks of
the Federal Reserve System, paying the receivers or conservators
thereof sufficient funds to satisfy the remaining deposit liabilities
of such banks in full*
ihile the initial disbursement involved in this proposal can
only be approximated and the ultimate cost vaguely surmised, the
following figures and comments are suggested.
As of March 12, 193*** there were 1,H68 national banks in
receivership, with an unpaid deposit liability (which is exclusive
of other liabilities, such as for money borrowed, etc.) of
$920,000,000.00, There were 28H national banks in conservatorship
with similar unpaid deposit liabilities of $210,000,000.00. As to
State member banks, 2^0 were in receivership and H 7 in conservatorship, together having a total similar unpaid deposit liability of
approximately $685,000,000.00. The Initial disbursement thus re
quired by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation would be approxi
mately $1,815,000,000.00.
As to the ultimate cost of this project, after crediting
probable realisation by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation from
the assets acquired, an estimate was reached b y analysing a repre
sentative group of 100 closed national banks of all sizes in all
sections of the United States as of December 31, 1933.
It was found
there was an average deficiency in assets as against deposit liabili
ties only, of HU per centum. Total deposit liabilities of closed
national banks and State member banks as of their suspension were
approximately $3,IOU, 500 , 000 . 0 0 . Applying to this figure the HU
per centum average deficiency in assets, there is ascertained an
approximate actual deficiency or ultimate cost to the United States
Treasury and to the taxpayers of $1,366,000,000.00. f h U loss will
be substantially Increased by the interest to be paid on the money

"April 13, 1934.
Dear Mr. Chairman:

more, the adoption of the principle, implicit in the bill, that the Government

»MEMORANDUM
Reference is made to S. 2949, "being a "bill ’to promote resumption of in
dustrial activity, increase employment, and restore confidence "by fulfillment
of the implied guaranty "by the United States Government of deposit safety in
national hanks' . This hill directs the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to
purchase and liquidate the remaining assets of closed national hanks and State
member hanks of the Federal Reserve System, paying the receivers or conservators
thereof sufficient funds to satisfy the remaining deposit liabilities of such
hanks in full.
While the initial disbursement involved in this proposal can only he ap
proximated and the ultimate cost vaguely surmised, the following figures and
comments are suggested.
As of March 12, 1934, there were 1,468 national hanks in receivership, with
an unpaid deposit liability (which is exclusive of other liabilities, such as
for money borrowed, etc.) of $920,000,000.00* There were 284 national hanks itn
conservatorship with similar unpaid deposit liabilities of $210,000,000*00. As
to State member hanks, 250 were in receivership and 47 in conservatorship, to
gether having a total similar unpaid deposit liability of approximately
$685,000,000*00. The initial disbursement thus required by the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation would be approximately $1,815,000,000.00.
As to the ultimate cost of this project, after crediting probable realiza
tion by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation from the assets acquired, an es
timate was reached by analyzing a representative group of 100 closed national,
banks of all sizes in all sections of the United States as of December 31, 1933*
It was found there was an average deficiency in assets as against deposit lia
bilities only, of 44 per centum* Total deposit liabilities of closed national
banks and State member banks as of their suspension were approximately
$3,104,500,000.00. Applying to this figure the 44 per centum average deficiency
in assets, there is ascertained an approximate actual deficiency or ultimate
cost to the United States Treasury and to the taxpqyers of $1,366,000,000.00.
This loss will be substantially increased by the interest to be paid on the money
borrowed to finance this plan, and by the expense incurred over the 10 year
period in liquidating the assets of the banks.
If, as is likely, in this instance, it is found that adoption of the bill
can be had only by amending it to include State nonmember banks, the ultimate
loss will be increased to an extent far beyond present computation.
The title of the bill states that its proposals are in fulfillment of the
implied guaranty by the Government of deposit safety in national and State member
banks* This is considered a most hazardous responsibility to admit or accept*
It establishes a precedent that may be extended to any business activity over
which the Government exercises any supervision. Thus the holders of the bonds
of Joint Stock Land Banks and of Federal Land Banks and of the debentures of
Federal Intermediate Credit Banks would be in a position to contend that the
Governments supervision over these agencies, being similar tq that which it
exercises over Rational Banks, entitles such holders to recover from the Govern
ment any loss which they may ever have sustained as a result of dealing in
these securities. Indeed, a similar argument might be advanced with respect to
other business activities supervised to any extent by the Government, such as the
sale of alcoholic liquor, railroads, radio, and possibly even to include in
dividual losses, on securities registered under the Securities Act, and in the
stock market in the event that the Government assumed supervision thereof.
It is not clear whether the hill is limited to banks closed at date of its
enactment or whether it embraces banks that suspend any time in the future. If
the latter are included, the obligation being assumed is immeasurable, and it
would seem the functions of the Federa3. Deposit Insurance Corporation as in
surer of deposits will be entirely superseded, If the plan is not to extend to
future suspensions, it is difficult to see how a distinction between depositors
of a bank closing before the bill*s enactment and depositors of one closing a
week thereafter can be supported legally or in principle. Like comment may be
made on the fact that no relief is given to the depositors of hundreds of closed
banks who in the past year waived part of their deposits in order to restore the
banks to solvency under Section 207 of the Bank Conservation Act or to the nonconsenting minority of depositors in such banks who lost part of their deposits
involuntarily due to the operation of Section 207. Those who voluntarily waived
part of their deposits are penalized for their patriotic effort to reopen the
banks during this emergency, whereas if they had acted otherwise the respective
banks would be in receivership and under this bill those depositors would be
paid in full. Depositors of closed banks, liquidation of which has been con>pletod and receivers discharged are likewise excluded. There have been 267 such
receiverships of national banks closed the past three years with substantial
loss to depositors. If this legislation is based on an implied governmental
guaranty of safety as set forth in its title, then it would seem such implied
guaranty has been equally given to all the excluded classes of depositors and to
creditors other than depositors as well. .If these excluded classes must be in
cluded to sustain the constitutionality of the legislation, the cost to the tax
payers will, of course, greatly exceed estimates herein submitted.
Provision is made that all remaining assets of the batiks» including assess
ment liability of shareholders, shall pass to the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion.
This is an effort to accomplish what is deemed a legal impossibility as
against creditors other than depositors. The Supreme Court of the United States
has held several times that the rights of all creditors attach to the bank*s
assets at suspension, and that the assessment liability of shareholders is an
asset belonging to the creditors (Scott v. Deweese, 181 U. S. 202, etc.). Pro
vision is made under the Rational Bank Act, U. S. Code, title 12, section 65 for
the direct enforcement of shareholders* liability by the creditors without in
tervention of a receiver. Hundreds of millions of dollars are owed by closed
banks to open banks that hold deficiency notes of such banks or have loaned money
to them. Closed banks are indebted in large amounts to beneficiaries of trust
estates administered by their trust departments. They are largely indebted on
outstanding drafts and checks. Rone of these obligations are depositor obliga
tions and none would be provided for by this bill. Consequently, s.uch creditors
would appear to have a prior claim against the assets of the;banks and the
assessment liability of their shareholders, which prior claim cannot be destroyed
by this legislation, even though it attempt to do so and which would substantially
reduce the figures above given as to the estimated probable recovery by the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation and correspondingly increase the figures as
to the ultimate cost or loss involved under this plan.
- 3 If the transaction is considered as a sale of assets, then the Reconstruc
tion Finance Corporation does not become a creditor of the "bank; hence, is not
entitled to assert assessment liability against its shareholders, inasmuch as
such liability is for the benefit of creditors only* If the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation is to be considered as becoming a creditor of the bank by
virtue of the transaction, it becomes such after the bank*s suspension, as to
banks in the hands of receivers, and the courts hold that shareholders are not
subject to assessment for debts arising subsequent to suspension.
If, on the other hand, the purpose of the bill is to create what is, in
effect, a purchase from the shareholders of their rights, in exchange for a pay
ment to them of the amount of their deposit, a different problem arises* It may
be true that under this theory the Reconstruction Finance Corporation would, on
the principle of subrogation, be entitled to proceed against the shareholders for
any deficiency to the same extent that the depositors had that right. On this
theory, however, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation would obtain only such
rights in the assets as the depositors had* Future developments in realization
on assets of some of the banks involved, especially of banks in conservatorship,
may be such that in ordinary course of liquidation there will be a surplus for
distribution to shareholders. On the theory of subrogation, these rights would
have to be considered, but the present bill entirely overlooks any property rights
of such shareholders and purports to invest absolute title in the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation to all future recovery on the assets taken over.
The bill attempts to suspend the Statute of Limitations, apparently to en
able the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to obey the mandate given that it
allow debtors ten years to pay and yet avoid the barring of such debts by State
Statute of Limitations of shorter duration. There may be some question as to
whether Congress can suspend the operation of a State Statute of Limitations now
operating in favor of an existing debtor, unless the debtor consents under the
circumstances here involved*
There are pending or in prospect numerous suits against bank directors based
on thoir civil liability to the bank*s depositors and other creditors. No ade
quate provision is made for carrying on such litigation or giving the Reconstruct
tion Finance Corporation any benefit of recovery therefrom. Furthermore, since
the depositors are to be paid in full, the bulk of such directors1 liability as
now exists may thereby be extinguished, because such liability is based on loss
to the creditors; hence, may be substantially eliminated to the extent that de
positor creditors are relieved from loss through payment by the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation.
It is doubtful whether the Reconstruction Finance Corporation will be sub
rogated to the rights of the bank or its receiver against the sureties on fidelity
bonds, particularly in view of the provisions of many of the surety contracts
involved* Numerous suits and claims of this character involving large sums are
pending.
There are pending many suits and claims of depositors involving determina
tion of the amount of the bank*s deposit obligation to them or whether or not
there is in fact a deposit obligation or an obligation of a different character.
No provision of the bill adequately cares for this situation*
I
- 4 Suits a,nd claims of depositors and debtors involving offset and consequent
determination of net deposit liability are pending. The bill does not provide
for the determining of such matters.
I
i
»
*1
Suits involving collection of stock assessments already levied are pending
and no provision of the bill provides for the disposition of same. Inasmuch as
the Reconstruction Finance Corporation cannot enjoy the benefit of these assess
ments to the exclusion of non-depositor creditors and in fact may not be entitled
to participate therein at all, and since
once a receiver is in charge he alone
can collect such assessment, it follows that the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion could not prococ-d on its own behalf
to collect such assessment. If the re
ceivers arc to remain in charge of banks to collect such assessments, then since
the Reconstruction Finance Corporation will have taken possession of all the
assets, there will be no means of e a r n i n g the expense of such receivership and
litigation pertaining thereto except by anticipation against hoped-for collections
which may not materialize.
Ho doubt one of the objects of the bill is to stimulate recovery by promot
ing industrial activity and employment. This will not necessarily follow because
an analysis of the distribution that will be made to the depositors of a large
closed city bank shows that 46 per centum would be received by 1 ¡2 of 1 per
centum of the depositors, while in a sme.ll country bank, 44 per centum would go
to 7.3 per centum of the depositors.
In other words, nearly half of the money
to be distributed would be received by about four por centum of the depositors,
and this group may in large part placo comparatively little thereof in circula
tion by purchase of commodities or in industrial activity productive of employ
ment* Since the program mast be financed ultimately through taxation, there is
a serious question whether taxation may be resorted to for the benefit of such an
arbitrarily selected class, particularly where half of the proceeds will be en
joyed by a comparatively small group in the class intended to be benefited*
In the last analysis this bill would establish the principle of guaranty
by the United States of bank deposits, past, present, and future,“

Although internal revenue collections for the first nine months
of the fiscal year 1934 were more than 68 per cent higher than collections
for the corresponding months
of the fiscal year 1933, operating costs of
the Bureau of Internal Revenue were lower this year than last, the
Treasury Department revealed today.
Total collections of internal revenue from July 1, 1933, to
March 31, 1934, including processing taxes, were $1,962,339,156.
processing taxes, collections were $1,709,248,073.
Excluding
For the same nine
months of the previous fiscal year total collections were $1,164,421,906.
The gain in revenue, excluding processing taxes, was $544,826,167,
and including processing taxes it was $797,917,250.
Guy T. Helvering, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, succeeded,
however,
in operating the Bureau for the first nine months of the present
fiscal year
at a total cost of
$23,052,663 for the same months
$21,279,864 as compared to a cost of
of last year. This result was achieved
in spite of the addition of new responsibilities,
including besides proces
sing taxes the collection of beer and spirits taxes, added excise and special
emergency taxes.
Eliminating certain operating costs specifically charged
to the collection of processing taxes, the cost of operating the bureau for
the first three quarters of the
present fiscal year was $19,790,555,
a de
crease of $3,262,108 in expense
as compared to last year.
this
A part of
decrease was due to statutory reduction of wages and salaries, but other
savings have teen made "by failure to fill vacancies, by filling vacancies
at
lower pay grades and by other methods to obtain greater operating
efficiency.
As a result of these savings the cost to the Government of col«?
lecting each $100 of internal revenue has decreased from an average of
ol.853 for the entire fiscal year 1933 to $1*084 for the first nine months of
the fiscal yean 1934,

No. 1 - 7 0
The Japanese freighter Soyo Maru, which has been held under custody of
John P w Carter, collector of internal revenue at Los Angeles, since Tuesday
of last week, was released late yesterday and permitted to sail for New York
with a cargo of silk from Japan.
A telegram to this effect was received
today (Tuesday, May 1) "by G-uy T, Helvering, Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
The Soyo Maru was seized and held as security for payment of taxes for
the years 1917, 1918 and 1919 assessed against the ship's owners, Toyo Kisen
Kaisha, a Japanese steamship company.
Release followed payment to the
collector in Los Angeles of $371,986.38 as back taxes for the year 1917, with
interest to date.
This was in accordance with an agreement entered into
yesterday between Commissioner Helvering and Ryozo Asana, President of the
steamship company, who came to Washington to adjust the difficulty.
The
agreement included the pledge on the part of the steamship company that a
bond would be executed to cover tax liability for the years 1918 and 1919,
as to which the assessments of the bureau have been contested*
Seizure of the ship followed prior notification by Commissioner
Helvering that further continuances of the tax case against the company would
not be granted.
The ship on her present voyage is under charter to a Japanese
exporting Company.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT
Washington, D. C.
May 2, 1934.
Following is text of letter transmitted “by the Secretary of the Treasury to
Honorable Prentiss M. Brown, House of Representatives:
"April 24, 1934.
My dear Mr.. Brown:
I have your letter of April 18, 1934, referring to the cost of the
McLeod Bill and requesting that I have prepared for you a similar cost
analysis of the bill introduced by you.
You realize» of course, that it is extremely difficult to get accurate
figures without an analysis of each bank involved, and especially where
non-member state banks are involved, since there is no central source of in
formation with respect to such banks* Therefore, any estimate which is made
mast be based upon an analysis of the situation with respect to national
banks and the application of that analysis to the state banks, with the hope
that it is somewhere near right. I have, therefore, endeavored to give you
below an analysis or estimate on the basis of the expenditures necessary and
the cost to the Government, under the first section of your bill. There is
no way that I know of to give you a reasonably accurate estimate of cost
under Section 2 or Section 5 of the bill.
The initial expenditure under Section 1 of the bill would be
$1,807,299,942., with estimated recoveries of $724,088,196, or net loss to
the Government of $1,083,211,746.
The above stated amounts are made up from three classes of banks:
national, state member and non-member as follows:

or after Jan* 1, 1930.

The foregoing figares, of course, do not include any estimate for interest
costs pending final liquidation.
There is attached hereto a detailed statement of the estimate set forth
above* You will note that an estimate of the cost on the basis of a $1,000 pay
off can be obtained from this detail.
It was, however, not practical to break
down the figures to show the cost of a $1,500 pay-off.
Very truly yours,
Honorable Prentiss M. Brown,
House of Representatives.

Secretary of the Treasury.

No. 1 - 7 4
The Presidentas executive order transferring to the Internal
Revenue Bureau the functions and personnel of the Bureau of Industrial
Alcohol, Treasury Department, and the Alcoholic Beverage Unit of the
Department of Justice, "became effective today (Thursday, May 10),
sixty one days after the order was sent to Congress.
Under the pro
visions of the order the Bureau of Industrial Alcohol, together with
the title of Commissioner of Industrial Alcohol, are abolished.
The merger of these agencies within the Internal Revenue
Bureau involved the transfer to that Bureau of 3,298 additional
personnel.
The Department of Justice personnel numbered 961, including
about 700 enforcement operatives.
The personnel of the Bureau of In
dustrial Alcohol absorbed numbered 2,337.
Of that number 713 are
regulative inspectors, 283 permissive inspectors, 627 storekeeper
gaugers, and the remainder made up of technical and administrative
personnel.
Most of these employees are atationed in field offices
throughout the country.

For Immediate Release

Press Service
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue today issued instruc
tions to internal revenue officers for the strict enforcement of
the criminal provisions of the Liquor Taxing Act of 1934 against
persons wrongfully in possession of the strip stamps issued under
that A c t .
The on3y persons authorized to possess these stamps are per
sons who have obtained them directly from a collector of internal
revenue upon application, as provided in the regulations under the
Act, and dealers who have in certain cases received the stamps for
bottles in closed cases, in which case the stamps are not required
to be affixed until the cases are opened or sold at retail. This
is permitted only with respect to liquor cased prior to February
10th, the effective date of the law requiring the stamps,, and with
respect to liquor imported in cases.
It appears that numbers of these stamps have found their way
into the hands of persons not authorized to possess them. Since
the effectiveness of the stamp law depends upon their use only as
authorized, internal revenue officers are today (May
1934)
being directed to make special effort to enforce the criminal pro
visions of the law against wrongful possession of the stamps.
Since, however, it appears that in many cases the unauthorized
possession is the result of a misunderstanding of the law and the
confusion which arose out of the application of the law to stocks
on hand on its effective date, no action will be taken against
any person voluntarily returning the stamps to a collector of
internal revenue on or before May
1934

Both S. 3422,

My dear Chairmani
There have been submitted to the Treasury Depart
ment for comment three bills which would amend the Banking
Act of 1933.
The Banking Act of 1933 provided that commercial
banks should divorce their investment affiliates within a
year, which expires July 16, 1934.
Senate bill, S. 3422,
introduced by yourself, would, postpone the time for such
divorcement for one year, and Senate bill, S. 3134, intro
duced by Senator Walsh, would allow another year if the
Secretary of the Treasury is satisfied that the banks have
been diligent and require more time.
It is my belief that affiliates should be divorced
when and as provided in the Banking Act of 1933, and it
seems no useful purpose would be served by further post
poning the consummation of this reform.
The other matter involved in the proposed amendments
to the Banking Act of 1933, which have been submitted to
the Treasury Department for comment, is Section 21 prohibit
ing firms handling investment securities from receiving
deposits subject to check or repayment upon presentation
of a pass book, certificate of deposit or other evidence

Provisions for publicity of income tax returns contained in the
Revenue Act of 1934 do not apply to returns now on file hut only to re
turns filed after December 31, 1934, for the calendar year 1934 and
subsequent years,Guy T. Helvering, Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
said in a statement made public today.
He added that the additional
information form which taxpayers will be required to file with their
returns for the calendar year 1934 will not be available for public
inspection until sometime after March 15, 1935.
Commissioner Helvering’s statement follows:
Inquiries have been received from many sources with respect to
Section 55, entitled ’’Publicity of Returns", in the Revenufe Act of 1934.
Paragraph (a) of this section of the new revenue act provides that re
turns made under this title (income tax) shall be open to inspection in
the same manner, to the same extent, and subject to the same provisions
of law, including penalties, as income tax returns filed under the
Revenue Act of 1926; and that income tax returns made under the Revenue
Act of 1934 shall constitute public records and shall be open to public
examination and inspection to such extent as shall be authorized in rules
and regulations promulgated by the President.
"Section 55 (b) of the Revenue Act of 1934 proscribes that every per
son required to file an income tax return shall also file with his return,
upon a form prescribed by the Commissioner, a correct statement of the
following items shown upon the return:
(l) name and address, (2) total
gross income, (3) total deductions, (4) net income, (5) total credit
against net income for purposes of normal tax, and (6) tax payable. The
same paragraph provides that in case the taxpayer fails to file with his
return the statement required by the law, the collector shall prepare the
statement from the income tax return and shall add $5.00 to the tax. The
statements mentioned in this paragraph, or copies thereof, shall, as soon
as practicable, be made available to public examination and inspection,
in such manner as the Commissioner with the approval of the Secretary may
determine, in the office of the collector with which they are filed, for
a period of not less than three years from the date they are required to
be filed.
i*It should “be noted that the section of the Revenue Act of 1934 re
ferred to does not permit public inspection of returns filed under prior
revenue acts to any greater extent then they have been made available
for inspection under the rules and regulations promulgated by the Presi
dent; neither does the section permit inspection or publication of infor
mation from returns filed under the Revenue Act of 1934 except under
such rules and regulations as may be promulgated by the President. The
additional information form which every taxpayer is required to file with
his income tax return for the year 1934 will not be available until after
income tax returns for the calendar year 1934 shall have been filed with
the respective collectors of internal revenue and until the collectors
shall have had the opportunity to establish files in their offices.
Therefore, this additional form will not be made available for public
inspection until sometime after March 15, 1935.”
Z -home-made winej
The grower pays the Internal revenue tax when the collector notifies
him of the amount due, the Uollector issuing wine stamps in the necessary
amounts and denominations to be affixed to the containers of the wine, and
cancelling them.
The grower thus making payment of the internal revenue
tax on the wine will not be subject to special tax as a wholesale or retail
dealer under the internal revenue laws.
however, by the payment of this
t a x , he does not gain any immunity from S ta te o r municipal laws end ordinances.
i f the grape grower p re fe rs to q u a lify as

re p o rts showing a l l wines on hand and in process o f manufacture.

w ithin which the new

"The penniiSion w ill apply where the wine was produced by the grower
o f the grapes and i s s t i l l owned by him and in h is possession and on the
premises where the grapes were grown.
"Such perm ission w ill not apply where th e grapes were crushed or the

FOR RELEASE, AFTERNOON NEWSPAPERS,
MONDAY, MAY 28, 1934.
Press Service
No. 1 - 8 5
Farmers who possess home-made natural wine, not exceeding 14 per cent
alcoholic content, produced from salvaged grapes of their crop last season,
will he permitted to pay the internal revenue tax of
10
cents per gallon on
such wine they now hold on their own premises, and dispose of it through
legal channels, or if they elect to do so they may qualify as winemakers
under the regulations, under a decision hy Commissioner Guy T. Eelvering,
with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury.
Vineyardists in many sections of the country will benefit hy the de
cision.
The Government also will gain in revenues from this source.
Grape
growers in many of the principal producing areas were unahle to dispose of
a considerable portion of their crops last season because of unfavorable
weather and market conditions.
Facing losses, large numbers salvaged some
of their crops, pressed their own grapes and accumulated wine stocks.
/
decision is intended to bring early relief to farmers of this class.
The
But
for this relief, many of them would have sustained partial or even complete
loss on their last season’s output.
The Vineyardist, to benefit by the decision, must follow procedure
prescribed by the decision.
the
10
A grower, deciding to make immediate payment of
cents a gallon tax, instead of qualifying as a winemaker, must within
60 days, submit to the Collector of Internal Revenue of the district in which
he lives
a sworn statement of the circumstances.
If the grower’s statement
discloses that he apparently comes within the decision, the Collector will
have inspection made to verify the grower’s statement and determine the
quantity of wine and alcoholic content.
v ,r
~
2~
The grower pays the internal revenue tax when the Collector notifies
him of the amount due, the Collector issuing wine stamps in the necessary
amounts and denominations to he affixed to the containers of the wine
cancelling them.
and
The grower thus making payment of the internal revenue
tax on the wine will not he subject to special tax as a wholesale or retail
dealer under the internal revenue laws.
However, hy the payment of this
tax, he does not gain any immunity from State or municipal laws and
ordinances.
If the grape grower prefers to qualify as a winemaker, he must make
proper application, accompanied hy sufficient bond, within sixty days.
After qualifying, he would he required, under the regulations, to submit
monthly reports showing all wines on hand and in process of manufacture.
Commissioner Helvering’s decision thus sets forth clearly the limits
within which the new regulation will he administered:
"The permission will apply where the wine was produced hy the grower
of the grapes and is still owned hy him and in his possession and on the
premises where the grapes were grown.
11Such
permission will not apply where the grapes were crushed or the
wine was produced hy parties other than the grower, or off the grower’s
premises; nor where the grower has parted with title to the grapes or the
wine produced therefrom.
"The permission extends only to natural wine containing not more than
14 per cent of alcohol hy volume.
It does not extend to fortified wine it

Press Service
No. 1 - 9 1
An extraordinary demand for subsidiary coins, which has almost completely
exhausted the supplies in the Federal Reserve banks, the United States Treasury
and the mints, has sprung up within the last few months.
The demand is far out
of proportion to any that has ever occurred before at this time of tho year in
the whole history of the mints.
Shipments of subsidiary coins,
including half dollars, quarters, dimes,
nickels and cents, from the mints amounted to $3,603,000 from January of this
year to May 31, which exceeds by more than $1,300,000 all the shipments in the
same five months for the thirteen years prior to this year.
Shipments in the
five months, January to May inclusive, were but $2,477,000 from January 1, 1921,
^ to December 31, 1933.
The extraordinary demand for "change« has put the Philadelphia mint on a
three-shift basis and coinage operations have been speeded up at the Denver and
San Francisco mints.
Tho greatest demand is for quartor-dollars.
Shipments in 1934 from tho
mints of quarters alono up to May 31 have amounted to $1,465,000, whilo for
^,tho same months in tho thirteen prior years shipments of quarters had amountod
only to $435,000.
Shipments of coins are made from the mints to the Federal Reserve banks
and the cash division of the Trcasuror*s office on the order of the United
States Treasurer.
Ordinarily the Federal Reserve banks, especially that at
New York, have a large reserve supply.
These supplies have been rapidly
dwindling in recant months and rush orders for additional coins began to come
tQ the mints in May.
The banks are now receiving shipments as fast as the mints
can turn out the coins.
h*
Production of copper cents, of which 82,650,000
($826,500) have been shipped since January 1, is just keeping abreast of the de
mand.
Of quarters there is a real shortage and orders are being rationed in
stead of being shipped in full.
Last Friday night there was only $1,000 in
quarters at the Philadelphia mint, but Treasurer Julian had orders for immediate
i
IP
shipment of $392,000 of them.
A rush order from Detroit was filled by shipment
from Denver, though ordinarily Detroit’s supply comes from Philadelphia.
The demand is also heavy for half-dollars.
Although the Treasurer’s records
show $435,000 in half-dollars as having been shipped from the mints this year,
the New York Federal Reserve bank supplied to banks in its territory and shipped
to other Federal Reserve regions $1,580,000 of them, drawn mostly from its own
||
reserve stocks.
Distribution from the mints in the first five months of the
previous thirteen years combined had been only $670,000 of these coins.
The following table shows shipments of subsidiary coins from the mints for
first five months of each year from 1921 to 1934, with comparative totals!

Beer retailers who sell draft beer or other malt liquors by tne
glass face heavy penalties under internal revenue laws if they fail to
destroy the internal revenue tax stamps on beer barrels at the time of
drawing off the contents.
Rigid enforcement of this provision of the law has been emphasized
in special instructions sent to all field personnel of the Internal
Revenue Bureau.
Collectors of Internal Revenue and other officers per
forming inspection duties are under orders to make special efforts to
detect violations of this character.
These instructions, together with an outline of the legal require
ments on this phase of the retail beer business, were issued when certain
cases of non-compliance with the law on this score, reached the Department,
The cause ih these cases was attributed largely to negligence or gross in
difference.
Section 3342, Revised Statutes, as amended, requires that the stamp on
a beer barrel must be destroyed by driving through it the faucet by which
the beer is to be withdrawn.
If there are two spigot holes in a beer barrel
and an air faucet is used in the spigot hole covered by the stamp, the air
faucet must be of the same size as the beer faucet, and must be driven
through the stamp before any beer is withdrawn.
The law also provides
severe penalties for any person who removes the stamp from a beer barrel,
has it in his possession, or who reuses the stamp.
In addition to opium, morphine and heroin thefts, in
the two year period, more than 700 ounces of cocaine, dionin
and other opium and coca leaf derivatives^ were stolen, these
drugs bringing considerable return in the illicit traffic when
addicts find it difficult to obtain morphine or heroin» While
the manufacture of heroin is forbidden in this country, and the
medical profession has voted against its general use, there are
some small stocks on hand and it was from these stocks the thefts
were reported*

While revealing that the number of narcotic thefts in
the year 1933 represents a 20$ reduction over the previous year,
the Bureau of Narcotics, United States Treasury Department,
nevertheless yesterday (June 14) asked members of the medical
profession and the wholesale and retail drug trade to exercise
greater precaution looking to a further reduction of these thefts#
In a letter addressed to medical journals and drug trade
publications, Acting Narcotics Commissioner Louis Ruppel asked
their cooperation in emphasizing the Bureau’s request that legit
imate handlers of narcotic drugs store them where they will not
be easily accessible to burglars and petty thieves. Discussing
his request that physicians and druggists exercise greater care
in preventing narcotics from falling into the hands of illicit
traffickers and addicts, the Acting Commissioner pointed out that
if all the drugs stolen in the two-year period were sold to addicts
at $1.00 a grain, they would represent more than a half million
dollars.
Throughout the country in 1932, 1,033 thefts were reported
to the Bureau of Narcotics. In 1933, they had dropped off to 831
thefts. The 1932 losses totaled 677 ounces of morphine, 13 ounces
of heroin, 138 ounces of cocaine, and 523 ounces of opium. In
1933, thefts resulted in losses of 576 ounces of morphine, 11
ounces of heroin, 125 ounces of cocaine, and 244 ounces of opium#
The greatest number of thefts were reported in the Middle West
and the Southwest.
In the so-called ’’wholesale" field in the illicit traffic,
morphine and heroin sell at anywhere from $75 to $100 an ounce.
In the "retail market", with 387g grains to an ounce, street ped
dlers often charge addicts as much as $1.00 a grain for these stolen
drugs#
Professional men and druggists, wholesale and retail, are
urged by the Bureau to store all narcotics under lock and key,
preferably in metal cabinets or safes, since the check-up of many
thefts by Narcotic Agents has shown that they were committed
without trouble due to the use of wooden cabinets and unlocked
cases# Legal purveyors were cautioned also against letting the
Government order forms issued to the drug trade and th^ medical
profession fall into the hands of illicit traffickers and addicts.
In addition to opium, morphine and heroin thefts, in
the two year period, more than 700 ounces of cocaine, dionin,
and other opium and coca leaf derivatives were stolen, these
drugs bringing considerable return in the illicit traffic when
addicts find it difficult to obtain morphine or heroin. While
the manufacture of heroin is forbidden in this country, and the
medical profession has voted against its general use, there arc
some small stocks on hand and it was from these stocks the
thefts were reported.

Press Service
No. 1 - 97
Stocks of imported wines and liquors have been steadily accumu
lating in customs bonded warehouses since repeal.
This is brought out by statistics on imports released today
by the Officer of the Commissioner of Customs for the period from
December to May 31.
May imports of distilled spirits exceeded those of April, but
the withdrawals for consumption were the smallest of any month since
repeal.
Imports were nearly three times the amount of the withdrawals.
The first of the following tables shows the imports of dis
tilled liquors and wines during the month of May and the duties col
lected thereon, with a comparison for preceding months since the repeal
of the Eighteenth Amendment.
The second table shows a comparison of April and May collec
tions, contrasting the liquor collections with those on all other items.
The amount of duties collected as reported in each table is
that actually reported by Collectors of Customs for the month of May,
