Object Would Be For Protection
Of All Americans Against
Outside Aggression.
SIMPLE PLAN is OUTLINED
President Uruguay Offers Idea,
Referring to United States
For It's Practicability.

@ontevideo, April reformation of
an American League" on a basis of
absolute equality between all Amer
lean nations for common action
against aggression threatening any
one Of them from outside nations and
for arbitration of inter American dis
putes was proposed by DR.. Baltazar
Brum, president of Uruguay, in ad-
dressing students of the University OF
Monteyideo tonight.
AS a step in the formation of such
q league, DIR. Brum declared other
American countries should make a
declaration similar to the Monroe doc
trine, placing them on the same foot
ing as the United States for joint ac-
tion against European aggression and
to secure the solidarity of the Amer
lean continent. He said the proposed
league should be formed without pref
udice to adherents to the league of ma
tions, and that, should any member of
the American League" have a con-
troversy with the league of nations
that nation should ask for the CO.
operation of the American League
in settling the controversy.
Taking up the Monroe doctrine, DR..
Brum pointed out how it had con
stituted on the whole, an efficacious
safe guard to the territorial integrity
OF many American countries.
DR.. BruIn asserted the entry of the
United States into the war was an
anticipated application of the Mon
roe doctrine" adding,
Owing the state in which Euro
pean countries remain after the strug-
gle. it may be said that fear of inva-
moved for many years.
1T has been affirmed by enemies
OF the Monroe doctrine continued Mr..
BruIn, that the attitude of the United
States might injure the susceptibility
OF the country threatened. which
might find itself protected, even with
pat having asked for such aid. But
apart from the fact that such state
ment is devoid of all seriousness, the
inconvenience pointed out would be
obviated if American countries made
q declaration similar to the Monroe
doctrine, binding themselves to inter
vene in favor of any of them, includ-
ing the United States in case they
should become engaged in a war with
an overseas country in defense of their
rights. Such declaration incorpo-
rated in the international obligations
Of each country would create a situa-
ton of great dignity, placing all of
them on a footing of perfect moral
equality with the United States.
Pointing out this doctrine would not
be intended to apply TO inter American
conflicts, DIR. Brum said the solution
Of such problems should be looked
for in a new idea-that Of American
solidarity.

HOUSE FIGHTS
ON SALES TAX
Both Republicans and Democrats
Both Republicans and Democrats
ding for Soldier Vote.
RELIEF NOT IN SIGHT
Ways and Means of Raising
Money to Pay Soldiers Is
UnsOlved Problem.

Washington, April 22-Fi G h [
against levying sales taxes to raise
a part of the money for soldier relief
legislation was taken today to the
floor of the House. Amid applause
of Democrats. Representative Rainey
Democrat of Illinois, charged the Re-
publicans with attempting to buy the
soldier vote with the promise of a
dollar and quarter a day bonus. APP
plause quickly shifted to the other
side when Representative Tincher, Re-
publican of Kansas, retorted that the
Democratic espousa1 of the retroactive
war profits tax was designed solely "to
catch votes"
Washington, April ga tax on all
stock exchange transactions equal to
the brokers' commission has been
agreed on tentatively by Republican
members of the House ways and
means committee as one Of the new
levies for raising money for the SOL
dier bonus legislation.
Three other levies for raising che
money similarly have been adopted by
the Republicans, these are / per cent
levy on the final sales to consumers,
new levy on incomes, probably in
excess of $4,000 and an increase of
approximately Is per cent of existing
taxes on tobacco and cigars.
Republican leaders, after a meet
ing with the insurgents" against the
bonus plans announced that the party
caucus set for tonight had been post
poned until April 30th. The postpone
ment, it was said because the soldier
relief measures were not in the shape
desired for conference presentation.
The Insurgents announced today
that their stand against certain pro-
visions of the bill and especially the
tax feature was unaltered, while lead
ers still predicted that the original
plan to bring the bill before the house
on May 8, under a suspension of the
rules and limited debate would be car
ried out.
These four forms of taxes would re-
main in effect two years and the Re-
publicans estimate they would net
about s1,50o, 900 900 for soldier relief.
They will be incorporated in the leg
islation to be presented in the House
for adoption May 8.
committeeman said the final agree
ment on all details of the relief bill,
including the methods of taxation,
were open to revision. but they pre-
dicted the four-f fold plan of taxation
would not be changed.
Treasury experts working with the
Republican committeeman estimate
that s4oo. .0O0, 900 a year will be raised by
the sales tax: s20000o.0o0 from the
stock exchange deals; 500, 600, 900
from a 2 per cent tax on the part of
incomes exceeding $1,000 and $50, ,000,-
900 by the Is per cent increase on to-
bacco taxes.
