DECISION REGRETTED
AUSTRALIAN STATES & INCOME TAX FEDERAL TREASURER’S VIEW. NEED CREATED BY WAR. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.35 p.m.) CANBERRA, This Day. The uniform income taxation proposals having been rejected by the States, Mr A. W. Fadden (Federal Treasurer) said, consideration, of what steps would now be taken was a matter for the Commonwealth Government. He added: “I sincerely regret the decision. I feel that the States viewed the matter from an angle of undue and unwarranted fear that the Commonwealth was seeking power to usurp the functions of the States and that they looked upon the proposal as a permanent surrender of their rights, rather than as a temporary measure. I could understand the States’ attitude in peace time but I cannot understand it when the nation is at war and involved in a crisis which may bring us much closer to war reality.”
