ian4inra ~ DnnrnnaI
lection Of Proposal.

Washington, Nov. 4-~The sales tax
was rejected last night by the Sen
ate.
The Democrats voted solidly against
1t and were joined by seventeen Re-
.puhlicans. The vote, 43 against to 25
for, was on a proposal by Senator
Smoot (Utah), Republican, for per
cent. levy with exemptions for sales
by farmers of the products of their
farms, sales by public utilities and
those by the United States or any
fore gn Government or any State or
Territory, the army and the navy and
hospitals a.
This vote was regarded as decisive
on the whole question of sales tax
at this time. Senator Smoot, how
ever, offered business sales tax Of
one-half of per cent. on gross sales
in excess OF $4,000 a year. This went
over until today
In debate Republican leaders indi-
Gated that a sales tax might have TO
be provided in connection with the
soldiers bonus bill, which they predict
ed would be passed at the next ses-
sion OF Congress.

IN NO ALLIANCE,
HARVEY INSISTS

Confirmed by Harding and
American People
Ambassador again Expounds
Principles Of Founders
POLICY TO BE CONTINUED

Liverpool, Nov. 4.--George Harvey
United States Ambassador 10 Great
Britain, speaking to the Liverpool
Chamber of Commerce, said that il
was futile to hope that America, as
Lord Derby, one time War Minister in
the British Cabinet, recently had
been suggesting, may be some day be
merged in a definite alliance with
Great Britain and France. This state
ment was made as digression from
an address on economics and the inter
national industrial situation, in which
the American Ambassador attacked
Communism and Socialism and de-
Tended thespfinciple of indiyidualism.
Ambassador Harvey recalled that
Lord Derby voiced the conviction
that the success Of the Washington
armament conference would mean
peace, and that its failure would
mean war in the immediate future,
and also recalled Lord Derbys re-
cent suggestion to former President
Poincare of France that an Anglo
French alliance would be desirable
in the interests of peace, intimating
the strong hope that America might
eventually join this combination.
Nov it seems to have fallen to my
unhappy lot since | have been in
England, continued Ambassador
Harvey, ito dispel illusions respect
ing the attitude of the United States.
can conceive Of no more effective
service on the part of an envoy, de-
sirous as | am Of eliminating all
causes for misapprehension, than TO
set forth frankly any certainty which
may bear upon the immediate future,
however disappointing 1t may be to
his hearers. In pursuance of this
policy, rightful or wrongful as it may
be, / feel imnelled to. say frankly that
the hope voiced by Lord Derby must
he regarded as futile.
."Our first President fixed the for
eign policy of the United States clear
ly and unequivocally when he adjured
his countrynien never to enter per.
manent alliance with any other Pow
er, This policy has been reaffirmed
by practically all his successors. 1t
was reiterated with great positiveness
in our latest national campaign by our
present President and was confirmed
by majority of the people so great
as to be beyond the pale of compari-
son.
"ln view OF these circumstances am
doing more than stating the wholly
obvious and inescapable fact when |
pronounce the entrance of the United
States into any permanent alliance,
however desirable that action may
seem to be, an utter impossibility?
May it not be then the part of wisdom
TO avoid discussion or even suggestion

worthy it may be, could hardly serve
any purpose other than to feed enc
mics and distress friends of both
Great Britain and France who live in
