England Faces Double
Taxes, Lambert Declares
Government Financial Policy Is
Attacked in Commons; Export
Control Bad Say Some

LONDON, March 19-Speaking in the
House of Common to-day on the second
reading of the appropriations bill,
George Lambert, former Civil Lord Of
the Admiralty, said there were two
budgets this year aggrcgating s1,500,-
100000 ($7,50O,0O 0O0), and that if this
sum were to be raised by taxes it would
mean Is shillings in the pound income
tax and the doubling) of the duties son
tea and sugar.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, he
added, would have to resort to borrow
ing.
He appealed to the government to be
resolute In restoring the export trade,
unhindered and unchecked by any "ab-
surd government regulations"
Sir Frederick Ranbury, Privy Coun-
cillor, warned the government that q
continuance of the present financial
methods meant. eventually, national
bankruptcy. Other speakers COM
planned that control Of exports per-
mitted America to step in and capture
British trade abroad.
j. Austen Chamberlain, Chancellor
of the Exchequer, replying to the
criticisms, said that the government
was trying to abolish control as
quickly as was safe. Mr.. Chamberlain
said he was advised it was not fact
that Americans wel~ sending goods
where British goods were not admitted.
What the Americans had done, he said,
was to book orders and give long
credits for goods to be delivered when
the blockade was raised, and it was
open to British manufacturers to do
the same.
The sooner the blockade could be
raised, Mr.. Chamberlain asserted, the
better the government would be
pleased.

Outrages by Japanese
Officially Are Doubted
State Department, However,
Demands Inquiry Into Treat
ment of Americans

WASHINGTON, March 10. The
State Department to-day cabled for an
official Investigation of the reported
arrest of an American Consul and the
beating of American women by the
Japanese in Corea. Inasmuch as no
report Of the alleged incidents has
been received, the accuracy of dis
patches telling of the occurrences is
questioned.
Advices to the State Department to-
day from Vladivostok said that the
Corean National Council at Nikolskoe,
on the Ussuri River, Siberia, had
transmitted to all consulates the dec
laration of independence of Corea.
The Coreans paradcd through the city
under Corean banners, distributing
translations of the declaration in Rus
sian. No disturbance resulted.
MADISON. N. J., March 10. The
revolution in Corea was described to-
day as "wildfre agitation by people
as yet unfit for government" BY
the Rev. Dr. Z. D. Soper, a professor
in Drew Theological Seminary here,
who has just returned from a seven
months tour of the Far East, part Of
which he passed in Corea. DR.. Soper
was himself born in the ORIENT the
son of a Methodist missionary.
He asserted that notwithstand-

cally under Japanese control than
when they were independent.

By Joseph Sake

Nc1o York. Tribune
Special CGbLc Service
BERLIN, March 14.-Thc German
government apparently has decided to
show some Of it's cards in the interna-
tlonal game. To-night's "Vorwaerts"
publishes an obviously inspired article
intended as grave warning to the
Entente not to push matters to the
extreme, for if intolerabc peace con-
dit;ons arc imposed Germany will be
driven to make common cause with the
Bolshevik of Russia.
until now," "Vorwaerts" suggestive
ly continues, Germany deliberately has
opposed the Russian method of insti-
eating world revolution through paid
agents, but if Germany is forced to re.
fuse to sign the peace treaty it could
not fail to effect a great change In
her policy. She would centre her
hope on achieving similar far reachi e
changes to the western countries and
concentrate her revolutionary energy
and resources to the task.
Assails Allies Policies.
Germany would not willingly en-
bark on such a policy, which must
mean a sanguinary conflict and terrible
sacrifice for herself as we'll as
otker nations, 'Vorwaerts' feels,
but the better way Of a peace
full settlement may already be
blocked by the E,ntente's mad and
criminal decisions. Thus Germany may
be forced 20 choose the harde fate OF
resisting the Entente's coercion, not
with arms in hand, but by new weap-
ons which recent developments fur
nishcd the German people. The presen,
generation may have to make heavy
sacrifices to insure happiness to pos
terity."
There are indications Of something
like national campaign against the
acceptance of the peace terms as fore
shadowed by t,.c Entente press. Phil y
Schiedcmanr's iolent protest against
the plan for Rhenish republic and
the demonstration it provoked in the
Weimar Assembly must be interpreted
as PdII Vi tildL campaign.
1t may be doubted whether the pco.
pie of the Rhineland valley are really
unanimous in their resolve to stick to
Prussia, or even the German Empire.
In fact, very strong forces IN those
provinces are making move for :.
separation. Powerful Catholic inter
est, financiers and a large section of
the middle classes are bent on severine
the Prussian connection, which seem,
to be upheld by the Majority .ocisl-
lists and a section of manufacturers
only.
German Unity Gone
1t is true t,.osc demanding an au
tonomous Rhenish republic loudly pro-
test that fidelity to Germany is distinct
from Prussan connection but tn
protestation must probably be not taken
too literally. Schcdcmann's contcn
tion that an autonomous Rhenish ic-
public would merely be the first step
toward a total separation is probably
correct. but the question is whether
the empire can he held together any
way "apart from the peace terms"
Travelling in various parts of Ger

unity of the German Empire is now
scarcely more than fiction. As things

with the governments widening it's con-
