Summary
The First Session of the Fiscal Commission proceeds in a seemingly cooperative atmosphere with grand ambitions for the body’s future work. Behind the scenes, however, relations between the superpowers, and between the United States and Latin America, are fast unravelling.The United States presses for the promotion of double tax agreements to further free trade and private enterprise. The developing countries and the Fiscal Division begin to express discontentment with prevailing international tax rules and the League’s model tax conventions.
