Federation, yesterday issued a state
ment scouting the predictions of post
bellum state socialism and extended
government ownership which are be-
ing 50 freely made iyf many quarters
these days.
After an extended study of problems
bearing on reconstruction, Mr.. Easley
dismisses the notion Of a widespread
social unheaval in effect as a mere day
dream of irresponsible idealists and the
ever-susceptiblc American Bolsheviki.
"The sane and overwhelming forces
Of American workers" he says, cas-
represented by the American Fedora
tion of Labor and the railroad brother
hoods. will prevent any Bolshevik or
Socialist revolution either in our sys-
tenn Of government or in the private
ownership of industry"
Private control, Mr.. Easley predicts,
will be restored in those industries
which the government, owing TO war
exigencies, has temporarily taken over,
while simultaneously organized labor
will have the wartime concessions it
has granted returned.
In Germany, Mr.. Easley points out,
the "hotbed of state socialism," where
experiments along this line have been
carried to their fullest test, repre-
sentatives of large industries already
have declared themselves opposed to
all plans for state control after the
war.
I'm my Judgment" comments Mr..
Easley, "our verdict on this question
will be the same as that of England
and Germany"

Early Tax Payments
Are Urged by Roper

WASHINGTON, May Ito encour-
age taxpayers to send checks for in
come and excess profits before they
are actually due, June Is, and thereby
lessen the congestion in revenue Offices
near that date, Internal Revenue Com
missioner Roper to-day instructed all
district collectors to send out notices.
These notices are essentially bills, and
recipients will be told in a note ac-
companying that, although the tax
need not be paid until June Is, collect
ors would be glad to receive advance
payments.
Next Wednesday. May Is, is the last
day on which interest deduction Of 3
per cent a year, on the month remain
ing until June Is, will be allowed.
Thousands of persons now are paying
their taxes in advance and making no
deduction for interest, however. The
allowance for a month on tax Of 500
would be rs cents. Many corporations
and big business interests are hasten
ing to pay their taxes before May Is
and take advantage Of the interest
allowance.
A Treasury report showed receipts
of $115,0 100000 from this source alone
to-day and $227, 100000 from income
and excess profits taxes this month, as
compared with total of only $4l2,-
100000 in the last ten months. By
June Is the Treasury expects about
$4,000, 100000 from these taxes.

Bristol plane Held Up
BY Liberty Motor

WASHINGTON, May 11.--Unexpect-
ed difficulties in production of the
Bristol airplane, slight improvement
in ordnance production and material
increase in shipping facilities were
activities reported to-day to the Sen
ate Military Committee at its weekly
conference with War Department Of
fcials.
Manufacture of the Bristol plane,
Senators said they were told, virtually
has stopped, temporarily at least, be-
cause of trouble in mounting the Lib
erty motor. The motor when installed
in the Bristol fighter, which has been
successfully used with foreign motors
abroad. is said to lack radiation. A
loss of 10 per cent in power is report
ed, and experiments are being made
with larger radiators, but their sue
cess has not yet been demonstrated.
Weekly charts of material produc-
ton, Senator'S said, show some in
crease in artillery and projectile man
ufacture, but the general ordnance sit
uation was not regarded by some Sem
ators as materially changed or i'm
proved. The greatest delay is reported
in large cal!bre guns.

be commissioned by the President to
investigate aeroplane work. His letter
to me came on January 8, and then it
was understood that everything relat-
ing to Mix's projected machine was off
as tar as my assistance was con-
cerned."
Mr. Borglum said his trip to Dayton,
Ohlo, while returning from which he
met Mr.. Mix, was for the purpose Of
putting Mr.. Gibson, who was an aero
plane propeller manufactured before
ne became connected with the British
MISSION, in touch with the designers
OF the De Haviland airplane No. a.,
and which had not been supplied with
suitable propellers.

nection with his alleged Irregularities.

Neither the French nor the
Americans will break through

enemies wrest from US land
which belongs to Germany.
Our enemies cannot and will
not succeed. We are under
divine protection.
