missed Proposal; Profit
Tax Repeal Approved.

Washington. June o3.-President
Harding took hand in the legislative
program Thursday in an effort to speed
up enactment of tariff and tax legis-
lation by calling Chairman Fordney, of
to the White House to discuss the pos
slbllltles of early passage of such laws.
Meanwhile, the suggestion was re-
newed in the senate by Senator Watson
of Indiana, Republican member Of
the finance committee, that tax revision
be placed ahead of tariff legislation.
The question gave leaders some trouble
early in the extra session and it's re-
vival Thursday made it appear that
another effort would be attempted to
subordinate tariff to taxation in the
legislative program.
Tariff Ready Monday.
Mr.. Fordney informed the president
that the Republican committee draft of
the permanent tariff bill would be ready
Monday or Tuesday for consideration
Of the full committee and he explained
that caucus of house Republicans
would be held before the bill is submit
ted formally to the house.
Senator Watson's suggestion led TO
floor statements by half dozen Re
publican and Democrats senators that
they would support his proposal
The country is in the midst Of an
intense economic reaction from the
war; Senator Watson said This is
not the fault of legislation. The
country can rest assured that both the
tariff and revenue bills will pass. but
my own thought is that we cannot re-
vlve business until we first repeal the
excess profits taxes, and the higher
surtaxes upon income.

Japanese race exceeded by far the
rate of growth in the last 10 years of
all other classes.
Unofficial estimates of the increase
in the number of Japanese in the

spectively. The growth in the white

the rate fer the previous decade, which

statement said, was due principally to
the marked reduction in immigration
