ests, the same interests that selected
Mellon tor the treasury portfolio and
which are now succeeding in securing
great reductions in the income sur
taxes, such as cutting almost half in
two the taxes on incomes above one
million dollars. 1t is apparent that
the tax bill, when the weary public
finally sees it enacted into law, will
reduce taxes most for those who need
the reduction the least. More and
more are the old political observers
in Washington reminded Of the ad-

Both were dominated by the money
power, both were repudlated at the
Congressional elections in the middle
of their only term in office, and both
were defeated for reelection

RED CROSS RESCUED
100000 FROM DEATH
Spent s1,20O,o00 for Relief of
Famine Sufferers.in China
Last Year.

To help overcome conditions of acute
distress In five famine stricken prov
Inces of Northern China, where mil
lions of persons were affected by an
unprecedented shortage Of food, the
American Red Cross during the last
fiscal year spent more than s. 200 900,
100000 of which was contributed d.
recty by National Headquarters and
the remainder by various groups IN
terested In the welfare of China.
Through the wide relief operations
thus made possible 1t Is estimated that
more than 100000 famine sufferers
were saved from starvation.
To the end that similar prompt re-
lief measures by the Organization may
always be possible the Red Gross Is
asking continued support by the Amer
lean people by universal renewal Of
membership at the Annual Red Cross
Roll Call, November IL to "A.
The method Of relief employed by
the American Red Cross in its opera
lions In China was particularly effec-
tive. for in addition to saving hundreds
Of thousands of lives 1t provided China
with more than 900 miles of permanent
roads that are sorely needed to pre-.
vent a recurrence Of famine At one
time the Red Cross employed $4,000
Chinese workmen, paying them in food
for themselves and dependents, this
food being brought in from Manchuria
and elsewhere.
