Here is another little suggestion I would like to make to the committee. which is looking for from $30.000.000 to $45.000.000 of revenue which the members of the committee say we have to make up because of the defeat of title IB. We ought to have a tax. and a good stiff tax. upon the money that Barbara Hutton and other deserters of her kind remove to Europe. We ought to have a tax upon the money that these wealthy emigrants to other countries are taking out of this country. whose opportunities and workers made their vast fortunes possible. We should go further and put a tax upon the money that American tourists take over to Europe until such time as Europe pays us her war debts. Why not do that?
