This is case where there should

Cop, .ehi, 1920. New York Tribune Inc
PARIS, Nav 27.- Mutny has broken
out among employees Of the French
Ministry of Finance, who declare that
it is their duty to come forward and
make known to the public the rotten
ness of the financial administration.
These functionaries who are in
state OF revolt met in large numbers
to-day to declare that such was the in
competence of members Of the Ministry
of Finance that it will be impossible
to collect the 8,000,000,000 francs in
new taxes that have just been voted
One of the leaders of the mutny,
who insisted that he and his followers
would refuse to bow to any particular
government, but considered them
selves as servants of the country as
a whole, said:
complete disorgan ization in the Min
istry of Finance. This ministry is
directed by men who know nothing
and never will know anything about
their duties. These men entered the
ministry by the crooked road of poll
tics as compensation for former serv~
ices elsewhere. The country is be-
ing laughed at and led into the worst
kind Of trouble"
The mutinous financial experts
passed resolutions declaring that the
present French taxes entail a per cap
tia tax of 1872 francs among the working
classes and only SO francs per capita
among the we'll to do, while the taxes
eust voted bring these figures up to
304 francs for the poor and 13l for
the rich. On the otner hand, the res
olutons point out, England's poor pay
only 1873 francs per capita and the
rich 385 francs.

PERSHING HONORs LEGION
cove Them Deepest Gratitude and
Devotion" Says General.

To the men of the American Le-
gion whose blood and sacrifices have
proved their devotion there is deep
debt of gratitude, and the nation
looks to them for constant inspira-
ton, Gen. John ]. Pershing said in
an Independence day message to the
legion. The message follows:
"The anniversary of our national
independence brings to our minds and
hearts the obligations that rest upon
US as a people. The sublime concep-
tion of our forefathers created upon
this continent a new nation founded
upon human liberty, which they left
for US to perpetuate and strengthen.
The spirit of conservation that en-
abled them to overcome in this great
cause should be invoked that we in
turn may transmit to posterity the
sacred principles for which they
| fought.
ITO the men of the legion whose
blood and sacrifices have proved their
devotion we owe the deepest debt of
gratitude, and it is to them that we
| look for constant inspiration that our
efforts to maintain forever a country
where all men shall be free and equal
may be supported by the same patri-
otism that gave them the victory in
the great war"
