AMERICAN REPORTS
NEAR EAST UNREST

CONSTANTINOPLE, May 9 (by the
Waite Of the American Commission
for Relief in the Near East, who has
been travelling all over the Armenian
railway for the purpose Of bringing
out the American woman workers in
districts traversed. has brought to
Constantinople disquieting reports Of
conditions in Armenia. He said upon
his arrival here today that when the
special train OF the commission left
Alexandropol. 125 miles southwest Of.
Tif1is. on May 5, it was the Russian
communistic committee which held it
up for several hours and finally al
lowed 1t to proceed, the Armenians
apparently having NO control of their
railways.
Government Repotred Ovetrhrown..
1t was reported at this time that the
government of President Khatitian Of
Armenia had been toyerthrown. but.
Col. Waite said he had been unable to
verify this rumor. Only the woman
workers have been removed from
Armenia. and Col. Waite stated that
the American man workers, with the
assistance Of native helpers. would
continue the distribution OF relief SO
long as the supplies lasted
He feared. however, that within a

CANADIAN DOLLAR NOW 81.
AFTER A DECLINE TO IS

After falling to a price of IS cent.
in February, the Canadian dollar has
recovered to a current price OF 81
cents.
To some extent this recovery has
been due to the investment Of
American funds in Canada. Last year
over 100000 900 of new capital went
from the United states into Canada to
be invested in Canadian loans and
business property. This year the pro-
ceeds OF sales in Canada are remain
ing on deposit with Canadian banks
to considerable extent. 1t is esti-
mated that the value Of the Canadian
branch plants Of manufacturing COM
panies in the United States are worth
nearly S325.000,000. and that holdings
of Canadian government, municipal
and corporation bonds on this side of
the border amount to over $S00,OOO,-
900. In addition to this. there are
dian natural resources and finance
companies. making a total invest
ment of over 81 600.O0O.O0O.
Government Economy.
A second factor in the recent i'm
provement In Canadian exchange has
been the decrease in the expenditures
of the Dominion government. They
about $525.0O0.000 during the fiscal
year. which began April !. Last year
demobilizing cost $3.50, 1000. 900, but
this year expense for that purpose
will be negligible.
A third and very important influ-
ence upon Canadian exchange just
now is the trend Of sterling exchange
payable in London, because Canadian
ffnaces are interviewer SO extensively
with British financial conditions that
any change in the value Of currency
in London affects the value of cur
in .
sterling exchange should rise to 81 SO.
the Canadian dollar would probably
rise to 81 cents.
Two other factors are the supply Of
checks and bank notes in Canada and
the condition of loanable. funds in
New York. When the supply Of circn-
lating credit instruments in Canada
decreases and surplus banking funds
in New York increase. Canadian ex-
change will enjoy stronger market.

SAYS j. S. INCOME
WILL TOP EXPENSE
Representative SIemp De-
cIares Taxes Can Be Re-
duced or Floating Debt Cut.

Taxation may be reduced and a
definite fiscal policy for the govern
ment established very soon SO that
business and the taxed people may
know definitely just what the gov
eminent housekeeping will cost and
how the money is to be raised, In
the opinion of Representative z. Bas-
com Slemp of Virginia. republican
member of the appropriations COM
mittee.
Representative Slemp figures out
that during the next fiscal yea-there
will be a billion and half dollars ex-
cess of income over expenses. ana
that this can be used either to reduce
taxes or to reduce the floating DEBT.
'If the business men and the econo-
mists of the country Will get !heir
heads together and decide which is to
be DONE the fiscal policy of the coun-.
try can be definitely fixed in very
short time and the people Will Know
just what they can look forward 10
in the way of taxation and govern
ment expense" says Mr.. Slemp
Saving by Congress-.
Through the pursuance by this
Congress of rigid policy of economy
in governmental expenditures the ex-
penditures for the fiscal year 1921
will be three and AZ half billion dol
lars, or one and a half billion less
than the Ave billion dollars asked by
the heads of the various departments.
"Of this sum two billion dollars
will be used to meet government OBJ
legations growing out of the war. such
as interest on government bonds. pay
ments to the service men, s27s. 900. 900
for the sinking fund and larger ex-
penditures for an increased Army and
Navy.
This leaves one and half billion
dollars to meet the costs of running
the government on a normal basis
pared with one billion dollars needed
in 1916, the last year before American
participation in the world war. The
half-billion dollars increase is nee
essary for the increased cost of every
thing entering into the conduct of the
government as compared with 1916.
Back to Normal Basis.
This indicates very clearly that
Congress has put the ordinary cost of
the government back
upon a normal basis.
1T is estimated that the present
revenue and tariff laws next year
will bring in five billion dollars, or a
billion and half more than will be
needed to run the government.
what shall we do with this excess
of revenue over expenses? Some say
apply this to reducing the floating
debt Of outstanding certificates, which
is now more than three billion dollars.
Others say refund these certificates Of
and reduce taxation dur
ing the fiscal year 1921 by one and a 4
half billion dollars.
1T is up to the best business and
economic judgment of the country to
decide-and soon-what is to be the
fiscal policy that will be safe and sane
for the government to follow
