Racial. political and commercial interests threat en to clash, with the issue to go to the battlefield The one posi- tive preventive for war between America and Japan is to supplant mutual ignorance with under standing, mutual suspicion with Knowledge.

OPPOSED BY II REPUBLICANS
The Vote Was Regarded Generally as
Decisive of the Whole Question OF
Sales Tax at This Time.

Washington.-The sales tax was re-
jected by the senate. The vote, 43
against and 25 for, was on proposal
by Senator Smoot, republican, Utah,
for a one per cent levy, with exemp-
tions provided in the case Of sales by
farmers of the products Of their farms,
sales by public utilities and those by
the United States or any foreign gov
ernment or any state or territory, the
army and navy and hospitals.
This vote was regarded generally as
decisive Of the whole question of a
sales tax at this time, but immediate
ly after it had been announced Sena-
tor Smoot offered another amendment,
embodying business sales tax Of one
half of one per cent cI gross sales in
excess Of $4,000 year. This went
over.
In the debate on the defeated man
ufacturers' sales tax plan, some re-
publican leaders indicated hat sales
tax might have to be provided for in
connection with the soldiers bonus
DILL. which they preG;rIed would be
passed at the next session Of congress.

LAFOLLOTTE OPENS
FIGHT ON MELLON
A CLOSE VOTE ON AMENDMENT
TO GIVE FULL PUBLICITY
ALL TAX RETURNS.
SECURITIES MUST Be LISTED
Party Lines Were Badly Split In the
Senate on Every Vote on the Sew.
eraI LaFollette Amendments.

Washington.-At the end Of a day
of stormy debates, which at times
was featured by heated personal ex-
changes, Senator Robert M. La
Toilette, Republican, Of Wisconsin, in
dicated that he intends to press his
demand for the retirement Of Secre-
tary of the Treasury Mellon "for hav-
ing brazenly and impudently laid down
the principle that wealth will not and
cannot be made to bear its full share
Of taxation"
LaFolylette also served notice that
he would later renew his battle to
force the treasury department to make
public all returns. An amendment to
the existing tax bill to this effect
sponsored by the Wisconsin Senator,
was voted down by the Senate by the
narrow margin of two votes, 35 to 33.
LaFollette was successful In one
phase of his fight to compel the Sec
retary of the Treasury to give "piti-
less publicity" to tax returns. He
secured the adoption by an over
whelming vote Of an amendment COM
pelling holders of Federal, State, mu-
nicipal and other tax-free securities
to list their holding when they make
their tax returns. The vote on this
was 38 to II.
Party lines were badly split on the
LaFollette amendments, consider
able proportion Of the Republican
side joining with large number Of
Democratic Senators in supporting
them.

against officers insolence; and that
they had gallows upon which men
were hanged, day after day, without
court-martial or any other form OF
trial? had and have the photograph
Of one of those gallows, upon which
21 white boys had been executed at
sunrise when the photograph was ta-
ken, and there were others waiting In
