Denies Report Regarding Eject of
Action on War Revenue Taxes.
Chairman Payne of the House ways and
means committee today authorized the fol-
lowing statement: "A report Is being In
dustriously circulated to the effect that the
ways and means committee by taking ac-
tion on the bill reducing war taxes has
indirectly sought to dispose Of the subject
OF Cuban reciprocity. Nothing could be
further from the facts and the erroneous
report appears to be the result of a mix
ture OF self-interest and unwarranted
speculation. The fact Is that the ways
and means committee has taken no vote
on the subject of Cuban reciprocity, nor
has there been any such conference or ex-
change Of views among the members o.
among the republicans OF the committee,
as would warrant any conclusion tina: there
was no purpose to deal with the subject
of Cuban reciprocity, THE bill to reduce
war revenue taxes was taken up because
1t was the sentiment OF the comrnirteo
that the burdens resting upon om own pec-
pie should be lightened before We turned
other people, But IL was not vita any idea
OF making the reduction of wa- revenue
taxes barrier to full consideration of the
relief asked by Cuba That eueiec- rs ID
receive the fun and early attention OF tho
ways and means committed, aud any re-
port suggesting that IL has rseR covefliy
