CONGRESS TOLD
 ID CUT BUDGET MELLON INFORMS HOUSE COM MITTEE REVENUE FOR YEAR WILL BE $25o,ooo,ooo SHORT. REVENUE SHRINKS MONDELL SAYS REDUCTION OF HALF MILLION CAN BE
 MADE.
Cwestern Newspaper Union News Service

WashingtOn.-COngr was warned by Secretary Mellon that it must re- duce government expenditures or in crease the nations. tax burden.
 Appearing before the House ways and means committee. he declared ad- ditional cuts of more than $250,000,- GOO would have to be made in the esti- mated expenditures of $4,550, 100000 for this fiscal year if additional taxes were to be avoided.
 Under estimates for federal outlay this year, as presented by MT. Mel lon, $3,S30, 100000 would have to be raised by taxation, whereas he esti- mated that the present revenue law would provide $26OOOO,OOO less than that sum, due largely to the shink- age in the yield from excess profits and income taxes
 "Without the assurance of sub stantial additional reductions in ex- penditures," he said, "it would be folly to proceed to reduce revenue merely in the hope of reduced expenditure. even without change in the law, reve- nue will shrink from natural causes, and will shrink, according to the pres ent outlook, at a faster rate than cur rent expenditures
 Then he proceeded to show expendi- lures thus far in this fiscal year had increased as compared with year ago. He said ordinary expenditures for July, the first month of the fiscal year, were S322, 100000, as against $3O7, 100000 in July, 1920 leaving current deficit of S113,OOO,OOO. as com pared with a deficit of $76,0O0,OO0 in July a year ago. Of the total expen- ditures last month, S115,000,000 was for the account of the military and naval establishments and $32,000O00 for the shipping board.
 Representative AIondell, Republican leader, declared in statement that it was practical, in his opinion, ito reduce the tax levy by at lost $500,- 100000 and still meet all proper, es- sential expenses of the government"

Having destroyed a considerable part of the Turkish nationalist army and advanced so far that even Angora, the nationalist capital, is threatened, the Greeks are restoring their lines of communication and preparing for the second phase of the offensive. Gen eral PapOulas, their commander-in- chief on the Smyrna front, says: We are not going to let up on Mustapha Renal Pasha until we have so com pletely dissolved his forces that he will never again be able to put an army in the field" Apparently Kemal re alizes that he is being thoroughly whipped, for he has appealed to the government at Constantinople to in- tervene and stop the warfare. How this can be done is not clear. Kemals own government is said to be aban- doning AngOra and transferring it's archives to Sivas.

Evidently Kemal has not been re- ceiving the aid he expected from the Russian bolshevists Lenin and TrOtzky and their soviet crew are themselves in hard straits due to the rapid spread of famine and cholera in Russia. They have appealed loud ly for help, but the governments they have so long flouted are deaf to their calls. Even the United States, al- ways generous in response to the walls of the suffering, has told the soviet government, through a note from Sec retary Hoover, that any relief meas ures would depend largely on the treatment of the Americans held pris- oners by the bolshevists. This was re enforced by note from the State de- partment formally and curtly demand ing the release of those prisoners, and the soviet rulers already had been told there would be no consideration of closer relations with Russia until the Americans were set free.
 The distress in Russia is such that Trotzky has been given dictatoTial powers to handle the situation, and all government projects except those for relief have been suspended.

NEWS REVIEW OF
 CURRENT EVENTS
Acceptance by Japan Makes Way Clear for the Confer
 ence in Washington
SILESIA CRISIS PASSING
France and Britain Reach Agreement and Germany Is Warned-Hard- ine's Plan for Financial Relief of Railroads, Farmers and
 Cattle Raisers.
By EDWARD w. PIckARD.

With a mind not yet quite at ease in the matter, Japan has sent word that she will accept President Hard ing's invitation to the Washington conference to discuss limitation of armaments and questions of the Pa cific and the Far East. But this is to be with certain reservations. These are expressed in the closing part of TOkyo's latest note to Washington, which reads:
 "The Japanese government have been made aware through the com munications and the published state ment of the American government and the conversations between the secre- tary of state and Baron Shidehara that the proposition of the American government to discuss the Pacific and Far Eastern problems is based on the close bearing they may have on the question of limitation of armaments, which is the original and principal aim of the conference, and that, therefore, the main object of discussing these problems is to reach a common under standing in regard to general princi- ples and policies in the Pacific and Far East.
 ''In order to insure the success of the conference, the Japanese govern ment deem it advisable that the agenda thereof should be arranged in accordance with the main object of the discussions as above defined, and that introduction therein of problems such as are of sole concern to certain par ticular powers, or such matters as may be regarded accomplished facts, should be scrupulously avoided"
 Of course. among what Japan con siders accomplished facts" are the cession of Shantung to Japan and the Yap mandate. But our State depart ment is confident the Japanese can be satisfied in the drawing up of the agenda for the conference, and there fore is now preparing the formal in vitatiOns to the powers.
 There is a chance that some of the British dominiOns. which consider themselves full-fedged nations in most respects, will kick up a little trouble because the British empire is to be represented as a unit, with only one vote. Australia already is Wailing that she is entitled to a vote as a nation on the Pacific problems. Probably New Zealand, and possibly Canada, feel the same way. Rene Viviani and Albert Sarrault, minister of colonies, are to represent France at the con- ference; and Premier Briand also may come.
 No decided opposition to holding the conference in Washington has devel- Oped. but the date of it's opening re- mains to be settled. The United States tentatively mentioned November Il. Armistice day. because 1t would be sentimentally suitable, but again the British dOminions protest. Many of their legislative bodies are in session during the fall months, and as their premiers wish to. be present at the conference. they are urging that a later date be selected for its assem- bling. It may be they can be satisfied by preliminary informal consultations between Pacific powers which will en- able them to put their views on rec ord

The Illinois scandal. or comedy whichever way you look at it-had an amazing development when Governor Small, indicted for embezzlement of state funds decided that he was im- mune to arrest during his term in of fee and considered the calling out of state troops to protect himself. His lawyers, appearing before Judge Smith of Springfield as "amlci curiae," ad- vised the court that the governor was immune, ridiculously passing their as- sertion on the old maxim that "the king can do no wrong" The judge humOred their solemn dignity with long and erudite opinion, in which he completely riddled their position, turned their authorities against them selves and made 1t quite clear that in his view these friends of the court were offering decidedly unfriendly ad- vice. He ruled that the governor, like any other man, was not immune to ar- rest and prosecution for crime, and ordered the sheriff to take him into custody after giving him reasonable time to surrender. At this writing Mir Small is still at large, conferring with his political friends. presumably trying to find some way out of the di- lemma.

Either the public health service has been receiving a lot of false informa- tion, or the public officials of southern states refuse to admit the truth. Re gently Surgeon General Cummings re- ceived reports that the South is threat ened with an epidemic of pellagra and a resulting semi-famine, and thereup- on President Harding called on the public health service and the Ameri- can Red Cross to investigate at once, and devise measures of relief. It was said the low price of cotton, with re- sulting shortage of money, was to blame The two agencies got busy at once. and at the same time in came the protests of the southern states. In all cases the state health officials took issue with the reports of the public health service, most of them denying vigorously that there was any increase of pellagra and all denying that the situation was serious or that a semi famine threatened.

President Harding and Director Gen. eral Davis of the railroad administra- tiOn having worked out plan for the relief of the railroads, the President last week presented 1t to congress in a message and asked for legislative action. Briefly, he urged that the War Finance corporation be permitted by congress to purchase about $50OOOO,- 900 of securities deposited with the railroad administration as evidence of the railroad debts to the government, the railroad administration then to ap- ply the purchase price against claims which the roads have against the gov ernment, thus giving the roads funds that they greatly need. "There Is no thought to ask congress for additional funds" said Mir Harding. NO added expense, no investment is required on the part of the government; there is no added liability, no added tax bur den."
 Less definite was the part of the message asking congress to approve assistance to farmers and cattle men. But his plan here, too, rests on added authority for the War Finance cor poration, and later Senator Kellogg introduced the administration bill pro viding that whenever the corporation is of the opinion that conditions aris- ing out of the war have resulted in an abnormal surplus accumulation of any staple agricultural product, which is normally exported in substantial quantity, and that the ordinary bank ing facilities are inadequate to carry such products until they can be ex- ported. advances may be made for periods not exceeding one year and up to $1,OOO,OOO,OOO

But she insisted the question of strengthening the allied forces in the region must first be settled, and also warned the British that any hos tile act against the French troops or the Poles in the disputed area would result in the immediate occupation of the Ruhr basin, regardless of allied action.
 Premier Lloyd George, on his part, consented to meeting of experts to examine into the Silesian problem, and also conciIiated the French by giving the German government a sharp re- buff. When France was preparing to send more troops to Silesia, she asked the Germans to supply the transpor- tation. Berlin sent note to London, asking if the British indorsed this demand. To this Downing street re piled curtly that 1t was an interallied affair and not discussible with Outsid- CTS.
