Some time last week I madb a short statement in connection with the subject of the large number of aliens now present in this country. who were paying no taxes. They apparently are here on visitors visas. Since that time I have been privileged to discuss the matter with many individuals. and also with the distinguished chairman of the Finance Committee. Today there appeared an excellent article by Henry J. Taylor. a special writer for ScrippsHoward. the substance of which is that some 250.000 European nonresident aliens here made approximately $800.000.000 in profit on the New York Stock Exchange and in other markets throughout the country. There also appeared in the ScrippsHoward newspapers a most excellent editorial which in substance stated that some of these refugees are not poor. I understand from the distinguished chairman of the Finance Committee that perhaps some additional tax bills will be presented before the Senate adjourns for the summer. I also understand from him that the Treasury Department and others are giving considerable attention and thought to this problem.
