WAYNE NORTHE I I A A A I COMPANY. BRITISH LAY BIG TH OljXCESS PROFITS But Hold Disaster Would Re- suit If Confiscation Was Made. LONDON, Aug. cannot take all the profit out of war without disaster to the normal business structure. This is the view of the British government.

But you can commandeer that profit for the uses of the state, after it has been made. This Is what the government is doing. The present fiscal year will show si billion dollars commandeered, one of the government's financial authorities 'told the United Press today. The views of this iinanciul authority were that the British plan might be outlined to Americans now facing the subject of excess profits as one of their, big war problems. In the year ending March 31, the British government claimed and received $700,000,000 as its share of excess business profits or GO per cent of the total excess.

The billion dollar anticipation is based on the new 80 per cent tax now in force. "There has been soine argument against making the tax as. high as 80 per cent," said the United" Press' informant, "on the ground that it would discourage enterprise and thus defeat its own purpose. The objection caino from theorists, rather than the business men themselves, Business certainly shows no sighs of discouragement." Earlier in the war the government took only 50 per cent of The increase to the point where only 20 per cent is left to the business concern has be.en gradual. "This does not mean," it was explained, "that the concerns are allowed profits of 20 per cent.

It means only that if their war-time profits are above their peace-time profits, tliey may retain only 20 per cent of the increase. The taxation of their normal profit continues just the same, though the taxation, too. is at a much higher rate than it was before the war. Many ways of reaching these excess profits were considered, but the one adopted appealed to us because of its simplicity. We had the means in existence for ascertaining what the prfits had been in the years immediately proceeding the war and computing the difference after the war began.

Our income tax records and machinery removed many of the differences. Practically the only concerns whose profits could not be ascertained readily are concerns doing too small a business to come within the operation of the act. Evasions or attempts to evade the tax have been uncommon. British business whether engaged in manufacturing munitions or retailing luxuries 'e accepted the principle of the law. "The man who could not accept it would be a pretty patriot," said the official quoted.

"Fortunately for the credit of "the 1 British people such poor patriots are rar "There has been the suggestion that i all war profits should be confiscated. We believe there is hardly room for doubt that this would discourage in- I dustry to a point that would mean serious injury to our national life, i "America, has been doing such splendid' things in financial way for -i the benefit of the allies that we-hope to heal 1 she': is protecting her own. inI: terests in this vital matter."

That the court plaster, suspected to have been the sources from which AVilliam Fleming, retired capitalist, typhoid fever, was not contaminated with typhoid fever germs, is the report rcceived'last night by Dr. James M. Dinnen frojn the laboratories of the state fo.od, and drug department. The analysis of a cample of the plaster responded nega- tivc-ly to the test and it is, therefore, established that the plaster was not I responsible for Mr. Fleming's ailment.

When Mr. Fleming became stricken! with the disease and failed to find source of the malady, inasmuch- as other members of the family had used the same water and milk supply, the! usual of typhoid germs, he recalled that -he had used some court plaster which was handed him i a well-dressed young man in the Anthony hotel. The plaster was of the manufacture of a drug supply company having a large contract with the federal government and the natural inference was that the plaster might have been infected with typhoid'germs by German secret agents. The attending physician, and members of. the family.

have as yet been unabln to determine from what source Mr. Fleming had contracted the ailment.
