Wide difference of opinion exists in
congress over the question of whether
the bulk of he five billion dollars
should be raised by taxation or bond
issues. but those advocating the issue
of securities expect strong support
from the administration. They are
prepared to argue that the internal rev.
enue bureau already is overburdened
with the immense task of creating ma
chinery for collection of the S2.400 .000,-
600 war revenue expected before July

May Increase Excess Rate.
Taxation advocates are expected to
make a fight for establishment Of new
taxes on certain business lines and for

timated receipts from incomes Is ST..

will have to authorize early in the ses-
sion convening next Monday means of
collecting from the American people
between now and July 1st about hve
billion dollars in addition TO the 49,
set. 100000 from liberty bonds already
authorized but yet to be issued, the bill
lion dollars Or less expected from war
savings campaign and about three bill
lion dollars from war taxes
Most congressional leaders believe
the tive billion dollar balance must be
provided principally by issue of bonds,
and Secretary McAdoO has told men,
bers of congress that he heartily fav-
ors this method. If this plan is fin
ally adopted. the country probably will
be called on to absorb two more big
liberty bond issues between February
Ist and July Is aggregating more than
$500, 100000.
Six Billion Necessary.
Another big finance question which
will receive the early attention of con
gress is the continuance OF loans to the
allies. If the present rate OF extend
ing credits to the allies is continued
the seven billion dollars authorized
credits will be exhausted by July LIST
and congress will have 10 decide
whether to continue the loans after
that time. Six billion dollars will be
required for the fiscal year beginning

Turkey Tired of
Var and Ready
to Quit Germans

ROSTON. Nov. 30.-The Turks are
heartily tired of German rule. aud a
declaration of war by the United
States against Turkey would be play
ing into the hands of the Berlin Off
cials. is the opinion of DR.. William
f. Strong, editorial secretary of the
American board of commerce for for
eign missions.
why the United States should de-
clare war upon either Turkey or Rul-
garia is incomprehensible TO those
who know anything of the internal
situation of those two countries" said
a statement issued by DR.. Strong to-
night. Both of the countries are as
much under the control of Germany
as are Belgium and Poland.
Those who have come out of Tur-
key during the last few months give
only one testimony. and that is to
the effect that Turkey is hear' lily
tired of the domination of Germany.
Even the leaders recognize that they
went into this war. not for any pos
sible gain to Turkey. but with every
opportunity of losing everything.
1T would be cruel to make an at
tack upon a people who hate the alli-
ance with Germany and who would
gladly break that alliance If they had
the power to do so.
I'VE know that Bulgarian and Turk
ish officials are increasingly friendly
towards the United States as they be-
come dissatisfied and even hostile to
German rule. This is a tendency TO
be encouraged rather than discour-
aged"
