tell, at this time the full effect ot the
reduced rates carried by the present
tax law and he regards it as unlike

after the June payment is received.
The fact that the treasury will not
know definitely concerning the present
law has not. however, delayed its
plans for going ahead with a study
of the changes In preparation for
further tax revision next fall. Tax
experts now are.engaged in going over
administrative provisions of the law
