AS to talk of war between the
United States and Japan, Kahn said:
81 know l utter the earnest hope
and the wish of every patriotic
American that peace between the two
countries may continue perpetually,
but l say in all candor and in all
frankress that il the statesmen, pub
licists, agitators and politicians and
demagogues Of Japan really want war
with the United States, they will be
the ones to bring it on, and not the
Americans. have no fear that there
will be war between Japan and the
United States in my lifetime, or even
in the lifetime of my sons. l am
thoroughly satisfied that if my coun-
try remains measurably prepared.
there will be no difficulty between
the nations at any time"
Kahn claimed that while Japanese
agitators are objecting to the pro-
posed exclusion Of Japanese laborers
from the United States, their own
country has strict ban on Chinese
labor and Korean labor immigration.
He also claimed that Japan, although
objecting to an anti-Japanese land
law in California, refuses to allow
any alien to hold land within its ter
ritOries.

! GENEVA, Dec. 9.-Disagreement in
| the league of nations was emphasized
today when the resignation of Honorio
lPueyrredon as vice president of the
assembly was LAID before the session.
| The Argentine leaders successor
will be selected Saturday, with pros
pect that the interim will be devoted
to lively scrambling for the important
post 1t is to be assigned to one Of
the smaller nations if rules adopted
at the opening Of the assembly are
followed.
Argentines withdrawal from the as
sembly was made more noticeable by
Pueyrredon's resignation as an officer.
At the same time the assembly was
compelled to note another cause Of
friction-a difference between old and
new diplomacy.
| With western independence, w. N.
Rowell, Canadian delegate, devoted his
time late yesterday to lashing OF
European diplomacy. The Ff.Aaeh
delegates were especially hurt.
! Rowell was aroused by the efforts
of European delegates to establish a
rJ
which the Canadians regarded as
SuerfluOuS.
Rowell declared it was useless to
burG'en the league with number of
super-numeraries until the league was
certain of it's own existence. M.
Hanotaux, France, had made the sug-
gestions, intimating that European dip
Iomats could be trusted to know what
was best.
at was European policies drenched
the world with Blood said Rowell.
.It is the European policy from which
we now suffer and will continue to
suffer from for generations.
There are fifty thousand Canadians
under the sU1l of Flanders. Ihat Is
the price Canada paid for European
craftsmanship attempting to settle
European problems. l place the blame
directly on few, never the less they
were Europeans"

That Hamon was not the main cog
in placing Oklahoma in the G. 0. 2.
column in the last election, was the
declaration Of Miss Robertson
"The great leveler death also Is a
great truth revealer, and the claim
that the dead chieftain was the man
whose genius placed their state in
the republican column is not true. his
part having been far less than many
others, and the party in Oklahoma
having after all won in spite of rather

Not until the late summer had
believed that he really desired to
see the republican party win in
the state. For him and his personal
following the gain Of the party was
loss of power, and he loved power.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Present
revenue and tariff laws must con,
4inue for year, republican leaders
$rf the house agreed today after com
spleting preliminary plans for revis
kion of these two measures.
Repres sentative Fordney, chairman
IDf the ways and means committee to-
Nay said congress would be showing g
good speed if a republican revenue
land tariff law were on the statute
books by the end of 1921. He believes
That at least nine months will be re-
Euired in the rivision of the tariff.
because of the long time required
for the tariff measure and the ne
tessity of modifying tax laws, strong
opposition has developed to Fordney's s
blan for devoting virtually all Of the
lime of his committee to the tariff for
the first nine months of 1921. The
opposition led by Representative
Longworth of Ohio, believes changes
bin taxes more important than tariff
changes.

Sfer present plans will start next Mon
Iday The recommendations for in
creased taxes in the annual report of
|Secretary of the Treasury Houston
Twill come up first.
Apparently Houstons suggestion
flor repeal of the excess profits tax is
Ithe only one upon which committee
members agree.
Fordney claims there is strong op-
position to Houston's proposal to in
|crease the normal income tax rates
from four to six per cent and from
|eight to twelve per cent.
The present income taxes are too
shigh and ought to be reduced, not in
icreased, as soon as possible" he said.
Hous IONS proposal for . twenty
per cent tax on the undistributed pro-
fits of corporations met with favor.
1T is believed this would increase the
return of the income taxes by fore
ing distribution of the profits to
stockholders.
Considerable opposition was eX
pressed to the proposal for a federal
license tax on autos and tax of two
cents gallon ON gasoline. Likewise.
there is objection to increasing the
number and percentage of petty
taxes, such as on theatre admissions,
jewelry, chewing gum, candy and the
like.
