Dudley Field Malone, Third
Assistant, Calls on British
Ambassador in His Sum-
mer Residence

DUBLIN. N H.. Aug. 4.-Great Brit
aims decision not to participate in the
Panama Pacific exposition was dis
cussed by the British ambassador, Sir
Cecil Spring Rice. and his weekend
guest, Dudley Field Malone. third as
sistant secretary of state, at the Brit
ish summer embassy here.
Regarding his conference with the
ambassador, Mr. Malone said today:
My work in the state department is
concerned with the Panama Pacific ex-
position. You may draw your own
conclusions. / am here just as week
end guest. l think it is not more un-
usual for an Irishrnan to visit a Brit
ish ambassador than it is for British
ambassador to choose Dublin for his
residence
It is understood that an effort will
be made to influence the British board
OF trade to reconsider its decision,
which Is said to have been based on q
feeling that probable BENEFITS to be de-
rived from the exposition did not war
rant the expense of taking part in it.
In some quarters it is thought that
the clause which would exempt Amer
ican coastwise shipping from Panama
canal tolls proposed for foreign ves-
sells. had something to do with the
disinclination OF England to be repre-
sentod At San Francisco.
1t is understood that Mr., Malone
also will visit the summer embassies
at Newport of Russia and Germany
on similar errand.

AGAINST PAYING AT THE SOURCE
Indianapolis Chamber of Commercs
Wants Income Tax Changed.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 12-The In
dianspolis Chamber of Commerce has
started a movement for q nationwide
appeal to Congress to suspend or modify
provisions of the income tax law. pro-
viding deduction of the tax at the source,
and the substitution of methods enabling
the government to obtain at the source
information for enforcing correct returns
from taxpayers. More than loo letters,
containing a copy of a memorial recently
adopted by the chamber. were sent to
many cities yesterday, advocating the
change and soliciting cooperation
The memorial declared that the law has
been made unnecessarily obnoxious by
unreasonable and impracticable require
ments for deduction at the source" and
that the enforcement of its requirements
will have disastrous results to American
securities, entailing losses which probably
viii run into hundreds of millions of dol
lars through the Generalization of the
foreign market for American bonds" The
memorial further declares that the re-
quirements for deduction at the source
are impracticable; that the law is I'M
just, and that it is bewildering in its
complexities. ..
