Despite months of negotiations with tax experts in the treasury department, spokesmen for the insurance companies have re fused to agree to a recommenda tion for even a token "stopgap" tax payment of $45,000,000 a year for 1948 and 1949 even though going "scot free" for 1947. At present the $1,500,000,000 annual net investment income of life insurance companies is not taxed either as to the company or as to ,the policyholders. The Job of the Lynch committee is to decide what taxes should be collected, and then to prepare legislation to close the loophole in the present law. The commit tee has to do all this in the face of a lobby considerably more powerful than then real estate, oil, or public utility lobbies.

While this cut was being figured out by the experts, the government made the public flesh creep with warnings of how drastic the slash would be and what sacrifices it would involve. So the whole country was set for a fresh blast of the auster ity which, ever since the start of the World far, has been riding John Bull like the old man of the sea.

All of the major newspapers, excepting the Laborite Daily Herald of London, condemn the proposals as inadequate. More over the cuts aren't in keeping with the measures for which the nation had prepared itself. Rather typical was the comment' of the London Daily Mail which said in part: "After Ministers' measured warnings, the nation was braced, tensed, keyed - up for heroic shocks. They have not come.
