SENATE WANTS D. c.
Finance BILL SENT
BACKFROM HOUSE
Mistake in Taxing Provision
Causes Effort to Have 1t
Reconsidered.
TANGIBLE" IS OMITTED
Unless Changed, Measure Would
Increase Intangible Taxation.
Some Other Errors.

Reconsideration of the bill passed
by the Senate this week changing
the fiscal system of the District of
Columbia will be sought in the Senate
probably on Monday. The Senate late
yesterday agreed to a resolution in
troduced by Senator Jones of WASH
ington, who sponsored the original
measure on the floor, requesting the
House to return the bill to the Senate.
The purpose of the reconsideration,
Senator Jones said today, is to make
certain changes in the measure, the
principal one of which is to insert the
word tangible in section three of
the act Sc that it will read as follows:
That, until otherwise provided by
law. the rate of taxation iii the Dis
trict of Columbia on tangible personal
and real estate Shall be Sl.15 per hun
dred. and other taXtS shall be as now
provided"
inadvertently Left Out.
Senator Jones explained that it was
the intention of Senator Caraway's
amendment to provide only for the
tangible personal property tax and not
for levy on intangible property, and
the word was inadvertently left out
when the amendment Was presented
Oil the floor.
The effect of the section as approved
by the Senate would be to increase
the tax on intangible property,
bringing it to the level of the tax on
tangible personal property. While

best that the bill should be recalled
and the word put i'll to make IT quite
clear as to what Congress intended

! While this is the principal change
that will be sought on the Senate

f. pointed out by Senator Jones that

/ there which they had no authority to
make, and these will be corrected
when the measure is up for recon-

however, relating only to changes in
phraSeology, but the senator said 1t
was not the bill as PASSED by the
Senate.

1t is not anticipated now that when

\ there will be any debate on the mat

move as soon as the bill was returned

ALLIES TURN Down
PLEA OF GERMANY
Holds Request for Extension
Must Tell What She Can
Pay on Time.
BY the Associa ted Press.

PARIS. December 1.-THE allied
to consider Germany's request for an
extension Of time on her January and
February repafat1ons payments untfi
the German government tells just
what she can pay on these INSTALL
ments and gives other information
demanded. This developed when the
text of the commissions note to the
Berlin government was made public
today.
The reply expresses surprise that
Germany failed to tell exactly what
to deliver, what delays she desired and
what guarantees she would offer
meanwhile. Until these details are
furnished it will be impossible to con-
slider or even examine the request OF
the German government, the note de-
clareS.
Regret Is Expressed.
The commission expresses regret
that Germany had not replied to it's
previous queries as to what action
she purposed taking regarding the
commissions suggestions for ball
ancing the budget, preventing the eX-
portation of German capital and
measures to obtain foreign exchange
from German holders. The German
government was taken to task in the
note for this situation.
The note reads: 1.-THE reparations
commission has received a letter from
the chancellor dated December IA an
nouncing that the German govern
ment was unable to pay in their en-
tirety the installments due. under the
schedule of payments. on January Is
and February 5, next, and requesting
the reparations commission to ex-
tend the time limit for the payment
of these installments.
Wants Definite Information.
"The commission can but express
it's surprise that the chancellor's let
ter contains no definite statement as
to the currencies which the German
government will be able to pay on
each of the above dates. as to the
length of the extension requested for
the payment of the balance or as to
the security to be offered meantime.
Unless and until the commission
receives definite information on these
points it will be impossible to give
consideration to, or even examine, the
request of the German government.
1.-THE reparations commission regrets
to note that the chancellor's letter
makes no allusion to the measures he
has adopted or proposes to adopt in
compliance with the views expressed
by the commission in it's verbal state
ment of November 13 and it's letter
of December 2, 1921. The commission
recommends this letter to the particu-
lar attention of the chancellor"
The note is signed by Louis Dubois,
president of the reparations commits
sion, and Sir John Bradbury, British
member of the commission.

course on "Our Unitarian Work in
Japan he %held the close attention
of his congregation.
In opening his talk, he pointed
out that in Japan there is no Sun
day, there is no special day set aside
for worship, and every day, except a
few holidays, is a working day. He
showed that the Unitarians had first
taken their religion to that country
upon invitation. In Japan there are
100000 people of whom about
100000 are Christians. The Unitar-
ians after 80 years work there now
have 30 names on their books The
church has two congregations in
Japan, both at Toxic.
The Unitarians did not go to Jap
an with the idea of building many
churches or establishing schools.
Their purpose in going there was to
take the liberalizing Christian in
huence of their church. the speaker
demonstrated. He paid a fine trib-
ute to the work of Rev. Clay Mac
Caulay who had , retired after 81
years of service there. having gained
the reputation of being one Of the
foremost American men in Japan.
1e showed the opportunities that
are open for the Unitarians to con-
tinue their strong influence which is
spreading over that country. He
stated that the people there are
looking for better standards of liv-
ing and that the great empire is on
the eve of great social revolution.
And in closing, he showed the i'm
portance of the work of the Chris
tan churches there and the oppor-
tunity open for the Unitarians to
be one of the leaders among the
churches Of the liberal faith in that
far Eastern land.
