Ask Tax Raise. Fears for his political future will not swerve President Hoover from gm- posing an increase in taxes, Patrick J. Hurley, Secretary of War, said last night in an address in New York be- fore the New York State Chamber of Commerce, according to Associated Press dispatches. “I have been told that if the Presi- dent proposes an fincrease in taxes he will not be re-elected,” Mr. Hurley told the New York business organization. “My answer to that is that the Pres- fdent is more concerned with the wel- fare of this Nation and its 123,000,000 inhabitants th: he is with his own political future.” he added. Blames Congress for Deficit. Secretary Hurley sald “nearly all” of the present Treasury deficit “was cre- ated by measures vetoed by the President and passed over his veto by Congress.” He predicted more “at- tempted raids on the Treasury,” in- volving billions of dollars at the ap- proaching Congress, and served notice that Mr. Hoover will oppose them “with clrar-minded determination.” “The only way to meet the present deficit,” he sald, “is to reduce appro- priations and expenditures of the Gov- ernment and to evolve a more equitable and reliable basis of taxatio The fact that the present tax system 4s “largely based on profits,” Hurley main , results in a “serlous weak- ness in the stability of the finances of the Government in periods of stress and depression.” Sees Congress Support. He predicted the President would have the support of both Democratic lnfl ‘Repuhucln leaders in his fiscal Ppolicies. 1:;““’ is not = partisan question,” he said. Discussing Mr. Hoover’s international policy Hurley remarked that some ad- ministration opponents have talked about European ‘entanglements.” “‘We have made no political entangle- ments in Europe,” he asserted. “We will make none. “We are entangled in the economic ‘welfare of Eurvpe to the extent that the prices of wheat and cotton and the employment of our citizens at home, and the stability of our banks depend to some measure on the re-establish- ment of confideace and the economic stability of Europe. Disentanglement Is Aim. “We became politically entangled in Europe 15 years ago and the President has been steadily securing our disen- tanglement. In fact, one of the chief prcblems of the President today is to disentangle us.” The Hoover moratorium was under- taken partly for the “selfish interest” of the United States, he said, on the ground that collapse of a foreign na- tion would have here. attenticn to the visits of Premier Laval of Prance and Foreign ‘has made no political 'to any nation.
