Washington, Nov. 19.-It's q far
cry from Geneva, where the League
OF Nations is meeting. to the in
come tax division Of the American
treasury Of the pocketbooks Of the
American people, but entirely aside
from the international politics Of
the occasion. the United States
government is taking a deep inter-
est in the effect of the leagues
meeting on the finances Of Europe.
The pressure from all parts Of
the United States for q. reduction Of
taxes is SO overwhelming that the
Republican congress which meets
next month will find it necessary to
make a start upon the problem
even before the next Republican
president takes Office. Yet the Off
cials most familiar with the taxa
tion question seem to be almost a
unit in their belief that taxes can
not be reduced unless the Amer
ican government can sooner or
later begin to expect money from
its various creditors in Europe
And the ability Of European gov
ernments to pay America either the
interest on the war debt-which
alone amounts to $475, 100000 a
year-payments on the principal
loaned during the war. approx
mately 10 billion dollars, depends
entirely upon the credit situation
inside Europe.
Disarmament is the single rem
edy which one hears discussed. II
European countries would cease
