The relief the Commission distribut-
es to hundreds of men, women and
children who would otherwise starve
is surely of national Importance. The
commission is further obliged to help
the widows and orphans of those who
fell in battle or were taken prisoners,
while many youths would have been
helpless but for the help of the Zion
list Commission which enabled them
to continue their studies or learn
some craft.

work among the orphans has been Of
great value must be admitted by all.
The most hardened critic will admit
the desirability of supporting the
more than three thousand orphans
who remained destitute and without
any assistance, for they, too, are an
important section of the new Yishub.
No one who has the future of these
orphans at heart will fail to recognize
that the Zionist Commission could not
have left them to roam about the
streets and live by begging" says the
Statement.
The Zionist Commission feels it can
not ignore the Tulmud Torah, the
Yeshvot, Talmud ha-C hachamim, the

criticized for helping the refugees
who were wriven from the land dur
ing the war. 1t secured for them the
possibility of returning and resettling
in the country, granted them loans for
the purchase Of tools or in order to
open shops, supported them during the
first weeks after their return, but
ceased to give relief as soon as they
were provided with work.
The Commission declined to support
certain institutions, because, in its
opinion, they were not in need of sup
port-were simply begging institu-
tions or were managed badly. The
Commission may at first have distrib-
uted more than was strictly necessary
preferring this to possibly some peo-
pie without any means whatsoever,
but since the Commission has intro
duced order into the affairs of the
institutions receiving support, a dis
tnct change in this respect has been
made. The accounts Of the above in
stitutions, as well as the lists of those
receiving support, are regularly ex-
amined by people accustomed to such
work. In connection with the COM
mission there is committee Of super
visors who daily visit all the quarters
Of the city, and as a result no one re-
ceiyes support without examination Of

right to do otherwise. The Zionist
Commission succeeded in uniting the
Ashkenazi and Sephardi Rabbis in one
institution, the Misrad Ha-Rabbanot.
1t introduced reforms and hygienic
improvements in the Talmud Torah.
The Commission is criticised because
it has not been extreme in it's treat
ment of the religious institutions; but
on the contrary, it is to the credit Of
the Commission that it, donors Of the
funds, has not favored one side more
than another.
While on the one hand the Zionist
Commission supported the religious
institutions, it did not neglect the
workmen, the workshops and the work
schools. Throughout all Erez Israel
it spends large sums in communal un-
dertakings, not only finds work for the
unemployed, such as sanitary work,
but also finances types of work such
as the repairing Of houses, and which
give unskilled workers the opportun-
ity Of becoming craftsmen. For work
which comes under the above heading
L5,0O0 will be spent this year in Dag
ania, Kinneret and BAHAMA, etc. By
providing workshops for girls the
Commission saved many girls from
being idle and starving, and as a con-
sequence seeking crooked paths in or
der to exist. In Saffed, Liberals, Jaffa,
Hebron, Jerusalem and Haifa the
Commission maintained workshops.

a war to a peace footing are being

executives of life insurance COM

in the union and from many of the
provinces of Canada, there are in at
tendance representatives from the
fields of finance-both American
and Canadian; transportation; pub
lie utilities, as exemplified by cleo
trio railroad systems and public
health administration. There are
also present federal, state and uni
versity officials as we'll as experts
who will discuss housing problems

The conference has a distinctly
international character because of
the presence on the program of SIR
Henry Drayton, the Canadian min
lister of finance. and the attendance
of many Canadian life insurance and
other business men.
The theme of the convention is
1.-The Part of Life Insurance in the

the interest taken in this subject is
evidenced by the fact that the life
insurance executives in attendance
and participating represent about 50
per cent of all old line life insur-
ance outstanding in the United
States and Canada.

In commenting on Mr.. Fynney's

/. WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. g.
No appreciate reduction in taxes
for the next fiscal year is to be
thought of, Secretary Glass declared
in his annual report sent to con-
gress today. Government receipts
must be kept at their present figure,
he said, in order to bring govern
ment borrowing to an end.
Facing expenditures estimated at
$5,629,4S6,359 for the year ending
June 80, 1920, and $4,473,696,35S
for the year ending June so, 1921,
the government must enforce rigid
Mr.. Glass declared. He
placed the deficit for the current
year at 1906, 900, 900 and for the
year ending June 80, 1921, at APP
proximately So. 100000 600.
On this basis, Nr. Glass urged
congress to deny every %appropria-
ton for expenditure in new fields"
He said the same policy should OBJ
tain until the government had it's
sinking fund well under way and
repayment of the war debt "satisfac-
torily begun"
Mr.. Glass charged that excessive
government expenditures were 1.-The
most vital factors" in increasing
the cost of living and argued that it
vas urgently necessary to keep down
public expenses for this reason as
we'll as because of the drain on the
taxpayers.
The present e laws need re-
vising to meet new conditions, he
said. He referred particularly to
the excess profits tax laws which he
described as being Objectionable
even as a wartime ~expedient." 1t
would be still more Objectionable in
peace time, he added. LESS harm

government should be employed, the

cess profits tax had been responsible

costs because it had been passed on

ton upon which profits are figured,
determining prices. 1t has been and
will. so long as it remains on the
statute books, continue to be a ma
terial factor in the increased cost
of living"
In this connection, Mr.. Glass also
urged redrafting of the revenue laws
to prevent the evasion of federal
taxes through the investment of
wealth in the obligations of states
and municipalities. He said laws
should be enacted which would COM
pei the reporting of such incomes,
although they are wholly tax ex-
empt, and that that sum with other
income of an individual should be
computed as the basis for assessing
federal taxes on the amount derived
from taxable sources.

Glass. He said that, undoubtedly,
there was a very great need in Eu-
rope for financial assistance, but
that the situation had been much
exaggerated.

for Europe-today," he said, "but W.
must not allow our sympathy to
warp our judgment and, by exagger-
ating European financial needs,
make them fore difficult to fill. The
problem of financing Europe belongs
largely to the exporter because in
dustries cannot be reopened without

assistance in the past and talk of
future government or banking aid

led our industrial concerns to, the
erroneous expectation that their war

profits, based largely on exports,
will continue indefinitely without
any risk on their part. TO them will
fall the profits of exports and upon
them will fall the consequences of
failure to make the exports"
The treasury will continue it's
policy, in effect since the armistice,
to restore private initiative and re-
move governmental control and in
reference with respect to the ma
tons foreign trade. Mr.. Glass said.
Only through this means, he argued,
could a healthy economic life be
gained" He added that removal of
any influence by the government
should provide the incentive for
American ommerc to go into the
world markets and establish itself.
Ratification of the peace treaty will
measurably stimulate export trade,
Mr.. Glass declared. because opera
ton of the pact would eliminate nu-
merous political risks and provide a
surer investment basis.
Closely related to any activities of
the government in foreign trade is
the subject of incorporated govern
ment agencies, withdrawal of which
Mr.. Glass strongly urged. He said
their manifest weaknesses" were
proof sufficient that such arrange
ments were not happy ones for the
government nor for the persons
charged with administration of the
corporations. While not saying hat
any of the agencies, created during
the emergencies of war, had been
guilty of wastefulness, Mr.. Glass
pointed out that there was no OBJ
~jective such as business profits to
hold expenditures down. On the
other hand, officers managing the
agencies operate on a capital for
which there is no accountability or
check and always have access to
more funds If a real need exists.
Cases where government funds are
employed semi-independently, Mr..
Glass declared, largely justified
government red tape in accounting.
