So the second suggestion was trot- ted out—raise the extra five billion by bond issues, The senators who propose bond issues and the senators who propose taxing the consumer are both alike fighting the fight of the “war brides” and the “war babies,” against a heavy tax on excess war profits. England, which, up to the present, has very largely firranced the allies, is not treat- ing her “war brides” and “war babies” with kid gloves. She is not putting the financial burden of the war on the consumers. England is taking 80 per cent of the excess profits of her big corporations, And that is precisely what this country should do.
