TOOKE Editorial Office: 100 Washington Square East New York, N. Y. This Issue: 15 Pages THE WAR EMERGENCY AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT Fiscal and Economic Problems FiNANciNo THE WAR: A Symposium. Tax Institute. Philadelphia, 1942. Pp. 366. $2.50. (Bibliography and Index). In this, the first work of its kind to appear since the United States entered the war, the Tax Institute has furnished an overall blueprint for the nation to follow if we are to avoid the devastating spiral of inflation. The book comprises eighteen chapters covering various phases of war finance and prepared by as many experts. Prob- lems of war finances in broad outline are presented by Robert Warren of Princeton University and Homer Jones, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. A critique of the excess profits tax is given by F. E. Seidman. Avoidance of inflation is a paramount objective in any system of financing a war, and this problem is treated by the fol- lowing contributors: Denzel C. Cline, Michigan State Col- lege; Alzada Comstock, Mount Holyoke College; Simeon E. Leland, University of Chicago; Harley L. Lutz, Prince- ton University; Albert Gailord Hart, Iowa State College; Charles C. Abbott, Harvard University; and E. Gordon Keith, University of Pennsylvania. Possibilities of adjust- ments to ease the impact of war taxes are discussed by Walter W. Heller, University of Wisconsin; Charles L. Kades, Assistant General Counsel, Treasury Department; Chester B. Pond, New York State Department of Taxation and Finance; and Charles P. White, University of Ten- nessee. The experience of warring countries offers valuable object lessons to the planners of. our fiscal policy. Brinley Thomas of the British Embassy and William H. Wynne, formerly of the Canadian Royal Commission on Dominion- Provincial Relations, discuss the British and Canadian systems of war finance. In the concluding section of the book dealing with tariffs and international relations, Ben- jamin B. Wallace of the United States Tariff Commission and Grayson Kirk of Columbia University offer some stimulating thoughts with respect to postwar policy. Financing the War is stimulating reading for the lawyer concerned in any way with public affairs, and consequently with the repercussions of the war upon the economic life of the nation.
