Paris, Feb. 23.-The ministers OF
the south central American republics

] might be present to enjoy with you
and them the sense of comradeship,
community of interests and devotion
to common purposes and ideals which
is daily becoming stronger between
the republics Of America. a.
zone Of the happiest circumstances
OF the time is that Washington's
birthday has become an appropriate
anniversary upon which to celebrate
and renew the principles of liberty,
justice and humanity, which must be
made the principles of the world. -
The ministers then adopted the fol.
lowing resolution which was sent to
President Wilson:
"The diplomatic representatives of

Washington, Feb. 2S.-There were
indications today that the price OF the
1918 wheat crop would be increased
soon by presidential proclamation.
Under the food control law the price
for wheat of the 1918 crop was set at
$500 a bushel, but that is construed
to be a minimum and that the Presi-
dent has authority to increase the
price IL he considers the conditions
warrant it. Upon recommendation of
the special wheat, committee, headed
by Harry A. Garfield, the president
last August fixed 1920 bushel as the
price Of wheat of the 1917 crop, now
being marketed.
Several bills are pending in Con-
gres to raise the price of the 1918
wheat crop, some of them proposing
to put 1t as high as $2.75 bushel. 1t
was pointed out today that an obvious
advantage in fixing the price for the
1918 crop at 1920 would sbe to release
quantities Of twheat which night be
held in the expectation Of ssGhigher

SPANISH STEAMER
CARRYING CORK TO!
NEW YORK is SUNK

Madrid, Feb. 23.-The Spanish
steamer Mar Gaspio has been sunk by
a submarine on her way to New York
with cargo of cork. The crew was
picked up by the Spanish steamer
Claudio Lopez, which also was stop.
ped by the submarine but later was al.
lowed to proceed. The captain of the
Lopez had the greatest difficulty in
inducing the commander of the sub.
marine to allow him to continue the
voyage. The submarine commander
wanted to sink the liner, because she
was carrying number of cars con-
signed to the Spanish northern rail-
road which is partly French owned.

GERMANY'S WAR
DEBT BECOMING
CAUSE OF FEAR
Burden Because Of Improper Tax
alton Plan Now 20 Times
as Great as in 1914
AMERICA CITED EXAMPLE

New York, Feb. 23.-The steady in.
crease in Germany's national debt OW-
ing to the war and the delay in adopt.
ing a sweeping plan of taxation re.
form to care for the increased liabili-
ties of the Empire, already more than
twenty times higher than the national
debt at the outbreak of the war, is a
source of constant concern to German
financial experts. e
In the Berlin Tageblatt Of January 5
Arthur Norden, the papers's financial
expert, sharply criticizes the failure
of the government to provide for any
redemption of the war debt aside from
proviso establishing q redemption
fund for the IL per cent treasury
certificates which formed q small part
Of the last two war loans. He calls
for radical measures to check the pill.
Ing up -0f, the burden Of war indebt-
edness.
Norden contrasts with the policy Of
Germany, which, as is known has not
provided enough increased taxation to
meet the interest on its war debt and
is paying a part of the interest cou-
pons of earlier war loans from new
borrowings, with that of Great Britain,
he points out, had raised by taxation
almost twenty-five percent OF its war
expenditures down to end of 1917.
The argument that a heavier taxa.
ton of war profits, which make up the
bulk of the nominal increase in Ger
many's capital, would interfere with
the productiveness of German indus
try and the fear that increased tax
alton of incomes would kill the war
willingness of the population are dis
missed as unfounded. In fact, Mr..
Norden argues, to attack the abnorm-
ally high war incomes attained in GER
tain industries and by certain ele-
ments of the population would be of
decided value in cutting down the
high cost of living from the extrava.
CANT standards of life among the war
profiteers. f"&
Norden cites the action of the Am
erican government in establishing
maximum prices for steel and other
war materials of war industry and in
Immediately introducing high war
taxes as an admirable example for
Germany to follow and speaks with
admiration of the Wilson plan of TAX
ing control of the railroads.
Norden's scheme for taking care of
the state debt comprises radical in
crease in the tax incomes, not upon
capital as generally contemplated by
German financiers. He holds that the
proposed taxes upon capital merely
lead to extravagant spending, while
the income tax can be so adjusted to
bear heaviest upon the recipients OF
high war incomes,
