WASHINGTON, July Repeal OF

Now that the world war is about

toward their normal status the com
petition in trade and banking becoming
particularly keen, protests have been
coming in to the treasury department.
from banks on the Mexican border and
from other banks who handle money
for European customers that American
banking institutions were handicapped
by the tax on interest. Other coun-
tries, it was averred, dispensed with
that tax. Zach Lamar Cobb, formerly
| collector of customs at Ell Paso ana
heretofore one of the department of
states experts on business and political
relations with Mexico, prepared an eN-
haustive memorandum showing that
Canadian banks with branches in the
| United States could actually offer Mex
ican industrial concerns a privilege
which American banks could not meet
because of the revenue act. A Mexican
| concern could carry its balances with
a Montreal bank and use the New YORK
branch Of the Canadian institution for
Checking purposes and receive interest
without the payment OF a tax. British
banks are telling customers in Mexico
and Central and South America that
they will carry their deposits without
| deducting a tax. Daniel 8. Roper, COM
| missioner of internal revenue has writ
| ten MIR. Cobb the following letter:
mo Tax Upon Balances.
The question involves a important
matter of principle. | believe that the
federal government should not impose
a tax on such balances maintained IN
this country by persons or corporations
who are not otherwise taxable under
our laws. To tax such foreign balances
puts a handicap on the United states
as an international money market and
~diseourages other countries from doing
financial business here when, as a mat
ter Of fact, we should in every proper
way be encouraging them to do their
banking with us. The fact that the
amount of the handicap thus Imposed
on foreign banking in the United states
does not involve a very large percent
age does not change the principle:
1t is a recognized factjn international

U. S. Requests Information on
Shantung Question, Toxic Z
Paper Declares.
OFFICIALS ALL SILENT
Washington Will Not Comment on
Statement in Absence Of Presi-
dent-French Chamber De-
lays Treaty Approval.

Toxic, Sept. 17.-According to the
Jill Shimpo, the United States has re-
quested a memorandum: from Japan
stating, first, that Japan has no ag-
gressive designs on the province of
Shantung; second, that Japan is to
abandon her rights to the establish
ment Of an exclusive Japanese settle
ment in Tsing-Tao, and third, an
nouncing the exact date for the return
of Shantung to China, and also the
date for the withdrawal of the Japan
csc troops there.
The newspapers point out that it
will be difficult to fix the dates as
these must be settled by direct nego-
tiations between Japan and China.
Officials Won't Talk.
Washington, Sept. 17.-Ofcials here
in the absence of President Wilson
and Secretary Lansing, will not COM
ment on the report that the United
States has asked Japan to set a def
mite date for the return of Kiao Chau
to China. The general impression in
official circles is that the report is we'll
founded.
Japan's answer to such a request
by the government would have an
important bearing on the senates con-
sideration of the peace treaty as one
of the objections to it on which opposi-
ton is being centered in the Shan
tung provision.
Administration supporters of the
treaty feel that a definite announce
ment by Japan setting date for the
return of Kiao Chau would go far to
remove that point.
Various Japanese officials have
stated that Kiao Chau wox,d be re-
turned but time never was set.
Treaty Approval Delayed.
Paris, Sept. 17.-Forty-six deputies
DESTROYS of explaining the reasons
why they would vote for or against the
ratification of the peace treaty, in
scribed their names on President Des-
chauel's blotter when the debate Was
resumed in the chamber. The list is
still open and growing daily.
M. Viviani, after pointing out the
weaknesses of the treaty, it's omis-
sions and errors, concluded with an
impassioned appeal to the deputies of
all parties to ratify the treaty at the
earliest moment possible.

!: OF, Nation.

Washington, Sept. 13.-On the first
anniversary of the American First
army's drive at St.. Mihiel, planned
and directed by General Pershing-
the leader of the A. E. F. returned to
Washington to report the. success of
the mission overseas.
On his arrival here, General PERISH
ing received a foretaste of the more
formal greeting he will receive when
he leads the First division up his
toric Pennsylvania avenue in the ma
TONS victory parade.
AS he stepped from his special
train at the station, the man who led
the American army to victory in
France heard shrill cry of greeting
rise from the hundreds of women and
girls. AS he stood later before Vice
President Marshall in the President's
waiting room to receive the welcome
of the President and the nation, again
it was women and girls armed with
flowers and flags who surrounded
him.
Preceded by a cavalry escort, Gen.
eral Pershing was taken to his hotel
by Mr.. Marshall in the latter's auto
mobile.
The General was asked what he
wished to do when he got to Laclede.
He hesitated a moment, then said:
II would like to have everybody
forget that was ever anything but a
Missouri boy. I would like to be as
free as I was then"

FREIGHT CAR SHORTAGE.

Car shortage by the prejudiced is
simply laid onto government control'
without a second thought OF remem-
brance as to previous conditions. A
statement given out by Walter D..
Hines, director general Of railroads,
Wednesday is given in part and shows
the bettered conditions at this time
over two years ago.
On August l, 1917, the total car sur
plus reported throughout the country:
were 43,4S1 cars, whereas on August l.,
1919, the total car SURPRISES were lO7,-
900. The total number Of untitled car
acquisitions on August !, 1917, was
77,257, whereas the total number of
untitled car acquisitions on August l.,
1919, was only 1921.
The number Of freight cars in service
and not withdrawn for repairs ON July
l, 1917, was 1,9S3,0O0. The number Of
freight cars in service and not with
drawn for repairs on July l, 1919, was
2,O65,O00.
Besides rapidly putting into use re-
paired cars, the Railroad Administra-
ton is rapidly getting the benefit OF
the service Of large number OF new
cars constructed during Federal control
but whose introduction into service was
postponed on account Of inability to
agree with the railroad corporations as
to the acceptance Of the cars. Between
August / and September 6, 23,564 OF
these cars have been put into service,
and they are now coming into service
under the spur of recent instructions at
the rate Of over 900 per day.
Instructions have been issued to all
the regional directors urging them to
bend every effort to speed up road
and yard movements; to secure
heavier loading of equipment;
to establish and maintain COM
plete and accurate yard checks; to
reduce the number of bad order cars;
to make prompt delivery to connec-
tions; to effect early deliveries at
freight houses and team-tracks; and to
expedite the movement of grain cars
