ganization was going forward very rap
idly.
Score Federal Taxes.
Report was received from the COM
mittee appointed at the previous meeting
to prepare resolutions regarding the eX-
listing federal tax system. Chairman y.
S. Warden. of the committee, presented
the following report, which on motion
was adopted:
Whereas, the great world war came
to an end full year and half ago
and because little has yet been done
to reduce the enormous burdens of taxes
that are being levied and collected by
the federal govrnment, and,
Whereas, months of legislative time
have been wasted in political discord
while these mountain high income and
profit taxes that are levied by statutes
which cannot be understood except by
experts and which are not equitable in
their distribution, are still in full force
and effect-taxes that have hindered
property transactions, that have stifled
routine business as well as desired ex-
pansion, that have perhaps been the
for all of our people, that have caused
unrest, dissatisfaction and uncertainty
until many loyal Americans are losing
confidence in the business management
and methods of their government, we,
therefore, conclude that the following
things should be done:
Call Down Expenses.
'Tirst-Extraordina expenses caus-
ed by the war should be done away with,
many commissions should be abolished,
there should be positive and determined
efforts for a return to peace activities
and peace time expenditure. Political
hair splitting and ceaseless oratory are a
disgrace to the nation while high cost of
living are driving happiness and faith
from thousands of American homes.
"Second-It is the duty of congress
to force without delay the expenses of
the government down to a point where
they are within the receipts and thereby
stop the necessity for the selling of
further short time or other federal
obligations, the repeated issue of which
is working havoc with the disposal and
the place of all other securities.
''Third-Whenever the routine busi-
ness affairs of the government have been
reasonably arranged. confidence restored
and expenses sufficiently reduced all
war tax measures that have been enact
ed by congress should be repealed. New
and simple taxes should then be levied
sufficient to take care of the standing

new FOREIGN POLICY
URGED BY EDMONDS
Attorney Makes Plea for Action
Abroad at Business Science
lunch-TeIIs Own Survey

Wanted - An American Foreigr
Policy" was the subject of On ad'
dress by Franklin Spencer Edmonds
an attorney, today at a luncheon Of
the Business Science Club, ut the Hote
Adelphia.
"At least three great public dues-
tions are before the American people
today, which should be settled, and II
possible decided by the next presidential
election, namely: The League Of Ma
tons, relations with Mexico and Boil
shevism., said Mr.. Edmonds, as Key
note to his remarks.
AT the signing of the armistice four
teen months ago, the United States was
ot Its pinnacle Of achievement, rcputa =
tion and power. Those who were
abroad during and after the period OF
mobilization of American men and re-
sources witnessed the effect upon the
rest OF the world; how 1t rckindled the
tagging ardor of some Of our exhausted
allies.
The result was when peace came
the world was prepared to acclaim thc
United States leaders Of the world.
Little more than year has elapsed ani
since that time this period has been
filled with disappointment, confusion
and dismay. The average American not
accustomed to giving time and atten-
tion to foreign affairs is disguised.
Now the time has como when Amer
ican business men must give a large
proportion of their time and thought
to questions OF foreign policy.
As temporary resident Of Paris,
witnessed the tremendous enthusiasm
upon the arrival of President Wilson
and also the gradual cooling of this
enthusiasm. Europeans were amazed
that Americans had made no prepara =
tion setting forth definite working plans
for the fourteen points and set OF
beautiful ideals.
Thus America gradually lost her
leadership. To my mind it is clear
that we must of necessity enter the
League of Nations, with the reserva
tion Of Article X as originally framed
by Elihu Root.
THE Mexican question is intolerable
if it Is true that 500 Americans have
been murdered since the overthrow of
Diaz and no reparation made by the
Mexican Government.
.'Bolshevism should be dealt with
upon the basis that il another country
chooses to adopt a communistic policy
Of government that is its own concern.
But, on the other hand, we have a
right to protect our institutions il that
country should attempt to force it
