is impractical in its provisions, as,
for instance, a prerequisite to pro-
ceeding under its provisions is the
signing Of petition by 81 per cent of
the taxpaying voters. If such a petit
ton were approved under the pro-
visions Of this proposed law, the
doors would be thrown open for the
most extravagant tax levies imagin-
able, and every form of political sub.

is monstrosity, and should be voted
down because it is vicious in all its

London, Oct. 13.-Unable to procure
from Washington permission for ship
ments of food to Brussels, where the
situation is growing desperate, through
American diplomatic establishments,
thus guaranteeing them against seiz-
ure by the German military, Millard
X. Shaler, an American sent to Lon
don by the committee headed by
United States Minister Whitlock to
make purchase of cereals, talked to-
night about the urgency of immediate
action. He said:
Three weeks ago I left Brussels
with credit of 100000 for the pur-
pose of purchasing foodstuffs for the
needy in Brussels. The situation was
then serious. Since then it has
grown desperate. Immediately after
my arrival in London l arranged for
the purchase and transport Of provi-
sions, but am still awaiting authori-
nation to make shipments. The Brit
ish government will permit exporta-
tion to Holland and the Dutch govern
ment, in turn, has promised to permit
expectation to Brussels, but we are
held up by lack of authorization from
Washington to make the shipments
in the name Of the American ambassa'
dor to the American minister at Brus-
sells, this being required by the British
government, which desires a guaran-
tee that the food will not be diverted
to German military uses. hold
written guarantee from the German
general commanding at Brussels that
no seizure will be made, but the food
will be devoted entirely to the civil
population Of Brussels.
Nearly a week ago the embassy
here presented the matter to the State
Department, which thus far has been
unable to furnish a definite answer
about permitting shipments to be
made through American diplomatic
channels"
