HERALD two weeks ago, and the Premier
did 1t without violating his own promise
to Parliament. AS for the rest of the
requirements. 1t was admitted that
everything reasonable on both sides
would be the subject Of negotiations.
The tenor of Colins's statement is
that this is all promise
I'VE know from bitter experience
what British promises are" he says.
ireland is not the aggressor. II the
aggressors are willing TO quit, let them
prove it, We have learned to be more
distrustful of British promises than of
British threats. We are prepared . 70

be realized. Meanwhile go on with the

1t is Collinss character not TO hesitate
a moment over the British Government
sticking out for his capture and punish
ment If he thought IL would help toward
a real settlement, He would gladly hang
for it. But he and his followers must
be fully satisfied before they will lay
down their arms.
Despite the attitude of Collins, the
spirit in favor OF compromise is grow
ing in Ireland. as has already been re-
ported in these dispatches, and this
spirit viii undoubtedly be reflected in
the action of the Dali Eireann once it
begins to negotiate for an Irish peace
Premier Lloyd George, in response to
a question in the House of Commons to-
day, again insisted he intended to go on
with the home rule bill, but. as has
by amendments carried by the House OF

to negotiations.
Meanwhile the Premier has put up the
next move in Ireland squarely to the
Sim Fein and to that bulk of Irish
opinion which he believes is more power
full than the Sim Fem itself.

Capital Sees Signs of Faith in
New Regime.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 10.--Increased faith
OF American Governmental officials in
the continuance of peace, In Mexico is
evidenced in a slight relaxation Of the
regulations restricting the shipment Of
arms and ammunition into the country.
Rifles and ammunition commonly used
by armies are still on the prohibited
list, but it was learned to-day that shot
guns. light rifles and other arms in the
sporting" class were being shipped
across the international boundary in
rather large quantities and with the con-
sent of the State Department.
The embargo against shipment of war
supplies into Mexico still is in force, and
1t is understood will remain until the re-
lations between Mexico and the United
States are more satisfactorily adjusted.

"The Government is prepared to facili-
tate the meeting for the purpose Of

The Premier read the reply which is
to be sent TO Father OFlanagan, stating
that the Government did not lag behind
any section OF the Irish people in the
desire for Ireland 10 enjoy to the full
the blessings Of peace and prosperity.
1t said the Government was prepared
TO offer facilities for a complete discus

elected representatives Of constituencies
in any part OF Ireland. Then followed
a passage relating to cafe conducts.
The letter referred tothe fundamental
conditions which the government had
laid down with regard to which any

cluslon Il said that the government adj

Premier expressed his belief that the

The Premier went on to deal more
fully with the suggestion in the Galway
resolution that the ban on the Irish
Republican Parliament be withdrawn
so that it might appoint delegates to
hold discussions Of the situation with
the Government. The Premier said the
Government could not recognize the
Irish Republic and Parliament. since to
recognize II as a separate body was to
recognize that the part of the country

partment Of the United Kingdom.
There were, however, the Premier con-

SALES TAX WOULD
RAISE H. c. |. CREDIT
MEMS REPORT SAYS

NEW YORK, April Eff the pro-
posed tax on sales becomes a law
there will be an increase in the high
cost of living, according to the COM
mittee on Federal taxation of the
National Association of Credit Men.
Chairman Roy G. Elliott has made
public report of his committee oppos-
ing the bills which advocate a tax on
sales Opposition to the proposed law
is based on the grounds that such an
assessment would turn every business
establishment into an Office for the col
lection of internal revenue, because q
the difficulties in formulating fair
definition of what constitutes sale,
that it levieS tax in proportion to
consumption of necessities and in in
verse ratio to ability to pay, and that
it is capable of being passed on and,
therefore, becomes an important ele-
ment in high prices.
Numerous bills have been intro
duced into congress advocating a tax
on sales in various FORMS SAYS the
report of the committee on Federal
taxation. The chief reasons given by
those who believe in such tax are
its simplicity, comparative ease in COL
lection and freedom from administra-
tive difficulties. This committee pre-
sents herewith its views on the pro-
posed tax:
There seems to be an almost unani-
nous opinion that the rate Of the
proposed tax on sales should be ! per
cent Of the total or gross amount of
the sale with an exemption for all
transactions involving less than 81.
Ease of computation makes this prob
ably as desirable a rate, all things con-
sidered. as can be used.
What Constitutes a Sale.
Before a tax on sales can be adj
D ministered, we must have a definition
of what constitutes a sale. Here we
meet our first stumbling block. The
natural assumption is that the tax
will apply to mercantile transactions.
but Just what does this mean? If
carried to logical conclusion, 1t
means a tax not only on the buying
and selling of merchandise, but on
servite, transportation and similar
forms Of business activity. If an ex'
FRESHMAN hauls a trunk from the sta,
ton to your residence and charges you
81, has he not sold you certain service
ana are his sales to be taxed, or is
this form of sale to escape? Any
definition of sale that can be laid
down by the taxing authorities Will be
Immediately attacked from innumer
able angles.
THE imposition of a sales tax will
eventually make every mercantile OF
business establishment in the United
states deputy collector of internal
revenue This committee believes that
this feature of the tax is shifting OF
the burden of collection from the in
ternal revenue department to the
shoulders Of the business concerns
and when once clearly understood by
business people it will be sufficient to
start a wave of protest throughout the
country.
