FALL ATTACKS LEAGUE
New Mexico Senator Believes
Britain Will Dominate.
Declares II Such Society Had Existed
in 1774 There Would Be No United
States.

Albuquerque, N. M, March 17.-"Ii
United States Senator Fall of New
Mexico. in addressing the Chamber OF
Commerce here, said: "lf the present
league of nations plan is adopted
Great Britain will rule the league
and | object to Americas becoming a
subsidiary country of the British
isles"
IF the league of nations had ex.
listed in 1774 there would be no United
States now" continued the senator
"Other nations would have jumped in
and nipped in the bud the revolution
that gave us our independence.
"As a league | do not oppose IT.
There are many provisions which
would gladly adopt for the benefit OF
the United States and the world al
large. But even if these were adopted
alone, this country would give up un
told rights of sovereignty which we
have possessed and defended since In
dependence day.
THE charter of the league provides
for every self-governing nation or
province to have a voice in the league
This brings in Canada, Australia, India
Ireland and the other English prov
inces. Through their vote England
will run the world and use us to keep
these provinces forever subjected to

TO DANISH INJUSTICE
Japanese Envoy Hopes for Action
at Peace Conference.
Vlscount Ishil Says Japan's Policy Is
to Restrict immigration to
United States.

New York, March 17.--Action by
the Peace conference to eliminate race
prejudice which he termed a fruitful
source OF discomfort and uneasiness
among nations in the past" was urged
by Viscount Ishii, Japanese ambas-
sador to the United States, speaking
before the Japan society here.
Nothing would contribute more
effectively to the foundation Of per.
manent peace, he declared, than appli-
cation of a proper remedy 'at this op
perfume moment to this cause OF inter.
national discord"
The constitution of league of ma.
tions, he added, would not be worthy
of the conference if it omitted a pro-
vision to right the conspicuous in
justice" arising out of prejudice be-
tween the races.
The ambassador indicated il this
were done Japan would not take ad-
vantage of such provision, but would
adhere to her "gentleman's agree
ment' in the matter of emigration of
Japanese labor to the United States
and await the time when, by gradual
evolution the problem would be settled
to the mutual satisfaction of both
countries.
The restriction of immigration to
America Viscount lshii cited as
Japan's fixed policy"

PAYMENTS REACH MILLIONS
Income Taxes Up to Last Day Amount
to Nearly Billion.

Washington, March 17-Miilions of
dollars poured into the offices of col
lectors Of internal revenue as the
first 25 per cent instalment of tax. BY
the time the collectors office closed
persons and business firms filed their
income or profits tax returns and paid
late at night, it was estimated 4,000,-
600 persons and firms had filed re-
turns and the total tax paid would
amount to from $S00,00O,00O to
$1,000, 100000.
Practically all of the tax paid in as
the first instalment will be used i'm
mediately by the treasury to redeem
certificates of indebtedness issued last
November in anticipation of today's
tax collections. This use of the taxes
paid, officials believe, will do much to
prevent shifting of bank funds and
disturbance of business.

Assailant of Premier Clemenceau
Must Pay Death Penalty.

Paris, March 17.-Emil Coffin, the
anarchist who recently made an at
tempt upon the life of Premier Georges
Clemenceau, was sentenced to death
by the court-martial which was trying
him. The verdict OF the courtmartial
was unanimous.
After Captain Mornet, the prosecu-

on the ground there had been premedi-

amazing statement. He said he was q
militant anarchist, an anti-militarist
and anti-patriot, and against all con-
stituted authority.

more relish than M. Clemenceau, be-
cause he, too, represented authority"
he continued. Il have no country; my
country is the world"
