on the part Of each of the three nations
by which each pledges itself to refrain
from seeking territorial or political
ACKNOWLEDGMENT within this area, a
common pledge to transform the
fiction Of China into a fact. within
these limits, a selfdenying ordinance
accompanied by an accepted or inn
piled promise to aid in Chinese re-
integration, these I should venture to
guess would be the chief detectives Of
British diplomacy.
Depends on British Purpose.
As for the limitation Of ornaments
and in practice the agreement on con-
struction programs, this can be written
without difficulty or delay because the
British are prepared to agree that
there shall be a parity between Ameri-
can and British fleets and the rest Is
a matter for the experts. As Tor the
Japanese, they too are prepared to &C
cept a rating. which will fali short
Of equality but satisfy their views OF
self-protection.
Looking at the situation as 1t begins
to unfold itself in Washington l am
bound to say that it seems to me the
main hope Of success must be found
in the closeup analysis of British pur-
poses. There is a gulf between the
American and japanese positions which
can only be bridged by British en-
cheering. The American policy as II
has developed means war with Japan
IL 1t is not modified I'm certain direc.
lions. 1t cannot be modified save by
outside influence and 1 am satisfied
that this influence must be exerted by
Britain and by Mr.. Lloyd George.
The conference is inevitably going
to be a shock between American prin-
ciples and Japanese purposes and
whether war or accommodation re
suits, must now depend upon the sue.
cess or failure Of British efforts di
rected toward urging compromise in
both directions.

FOES OF SALES
TAX WIN FIGHT
ON SMOOT BILL

Continued from Page One.
1 will be willing to vote for a sales
tax to pay for a soldiers bonus.
1 predict that a soldiers bonus bill
will be passed during the next ses-
sion OF Congress"
The man Of small .income pays
under the sales tax a very much
larger percentage of his income
than a man of large income"
Modified Previous Proposals.
The sales tax amendment pressed
by Senator Smoot was modified from
his previous proposals. The reve-
nue. from the proposed 1 per cent
tax on sales by manufacturer and
producers, he estimated, would
amount to s253,0oo. 900 annually,
which would be SUFFICIENT only to
make possible the repeal of all the
miscellaneous taxes. Consequently
Senator Smoot still further amended
his 1 per cent manufacturers and
producers sales tax amendment pre-
scented a few days ago as a substi-
ute for the original proposed 3 per
cent tax. by abandoning the pro-
posal to retain the present 10 per
cent nat tax on corporation earn
ings.
Senator Smoot accepted the A.
nance committees Is per cent fiat
tax already approved by the Sem
ate. but with a modification de-
signed to prevent any increase in
tax burdens upon corporations which
have not made large enough profits
to be subject to the excess profits
tax. Under this modification those
corporations which for a 3-year Pc
ROD have paid taxes averaging not
more than 10 per cent Of their net
income would be subject only to
a tax Of 10 per cent.

COAL NEEDS DATA
BEING COLLECTED
C m m e rec Department
Sends QUESTIONABLE to
Users of Fuel.
tC) International Film Exchange.

To prepare the public for a posi-
BILE nationwide miners strike in the
spring. the Department of Com
merce is polling the country on coal
supplies and coal needs.
/, Questionnaires have been sent out
to consumers generally TO find out
how much coal is on hand as the
country enters the winter, in order
that consumers and producers alike
may make Intelligent plans"
The information. it was explained
at the department, 10 desirable "in
view of the disturbance to the coal
trade that may eventuate with the
renewal of the coal miners biennial
working agreement at the end Of
March"
First Wave OF Resentment.
While labor leaders here believed
that the present unauthorized walk
out of miners in different sections
would be checked temporarily. all
agreed that the spring would see a
gigantic strike unless drastic means
were adopted to thwart it in the
meantime. Specifically the present
strike 10 directed at the anti-check-
off injunction of Judge Anderson. at
Indianapolis. Actually. leaders here
declare. the strike Is merely the
first swell of waves of resentment
which will follow later against the
concerted effort of certain interests
to place the nation on an OPEN shop
basis.
The Anderson Injunction, they de-
clare, invalidaAs the present ma
tional agreement among mining en-
ployes and employers. and permits
workers to strike. II they choose.
before the agreement terminates in
March.
Behind Normal.
Government officials believe a
strike is inevitable, which accounts
for their present activities. Soft
coal production up to October l was
112.000,000 tons behind last year and
from 100000 to 100000 tons be-
hind normal.
The decrease" 1t was explained
at the Department of Commerce, SIS
in part to be expected because of a
uecllne IN consumption and in eX-
ports, and it does not necessarily
mean that the consumers are I'M
wisely burning up their reserves
But II there is any possibility that
the above-ground reserves are be-
low the safety line, the best way to
settle the point, the government
thinks, is to take account Of stock
and lay all the facts before the
public.
TT is hoped to complete the can
vass and publish a preliminary re-
port within thirty days"
Closed In Indiana.
Practically all mines are closed
in Indiana, ana miners elsewhere
are awaiting action by the oper-
ators in stopping payment of union
dues to the national union officers.
