REJECTS PEACE RUMORS
SIR EDWARD GREY DECLARES
PEACE NEGOTIATIONS IMPos-
SIBLE AT PRESENT.
War Might Have Been Prevented by
Conference, But Position OF En-
tente Allies Has Changed.

London.-Sir Edward Grey, the
British foreign secretary, in a speech
in the House of Commons set aside
all ideas that peace negotiations were
possible at the present stage and
plainly reiterated that the position OF
the Entente Allies was in no way
changed.
Sir Edward declared that 1t was
impossible to consider terms OF peace
without previous agreement between
the Allies. Further, he expressed the
decided opinion that the hositilities
had not yet reached a stage where it
was possible to talk OF peace, especi-
ally as the German public was con
stantly being fed with lies" by their
ministers.
Mr.. Ponsonby's reference to the
use OF the American press as a plat
form" was the outgrowth OF a recent
interview with Sir Edward Grey. Sir
Edward in replying to this attack
while admitting that important dis.
closures of policy ought first to be
made to Parliament urged that a crisis
might arise during the war when con
siderations OF etiquette should not be
allowed to stand in the way. He con.
tended that since German statesmen
constantly we're giving interviews and
statements to the American press Il
would be mere pedantry which would
hinder British statesmen from coun-
tering these statements in the inter
ests OF their own country.

gate Federal Tax Returns.


Westinghouse McAdoo has
informed Chairman Lobeck of the
house committee on expenditures in
tha treasury department, that the de-
partment is enforcing the income tax
law with all the vigor which the
small force authorized by congress will
permit" but that an adequate Office
and field force for the Investigation OF
returns must be provided if the gov
ernment is to get all it is entitled to
under the law
Mr.. McAdoo's letter which replies
to the Keating resolutions regarding
alleged income tax frauds and eva
sions, expressed regret that Congress
authorized only half of the one mil.
lion dollar inchease asked for to pro
vide an adequate method of collecting
the income tax, and says it is hoped
that the remainder may yet be grant
ed. He denies a report that the gov.
ernment was losing 1920, 100000 an,
nually by income tax frauds explaining
that this estimate was based on the as.
sumption that the annual national in.
come is $4,000 900 900.
