Deep Water.
We would advise the youthful
singer to avoid the italian school
for a time, at least. It's vocal and
dramatic demands are somewhat
too taxing. Meehan did not quite
get the spirit of la Donna E' Mo-
bile" from Verdi's "Rlgoletto. .
The cynical creed Of the libertino
requires greater vocal power and
greater dash of Interpretation than
that put into it by tho young Albu-
querquean, His Italian diction,
however, was good.
The Irish group was pleasing,
being particularly adapted to the
singers quality of voice.
Meehan is twenty-four years
old. His work today must be
judged more In It's promise than IN
its fulfillment, No one realizes
this more than this unassuming
young man himself. With his nat.

gee, the pupnsher, have this
confidence of the Journal em-

who produce the newspaper.

announcement of the publish

Shantung Not AT Issue.
The Shantung settlement, which
has been sharply criticised. is not
at issue in the controversy. 1t is
learned that the phrase "overseas

it is pointed out that Shantung was

was held by Germany through a
concession from China.
The view of the Harding admin
istration on the Shantung settle-
ment has not been stated, but this
settlement was vigorously opposed
by the new administration leaders
in the senate while the treaty OF
Versailles was under consideration.
Form "a Third Chapter.
The latest notes are known to
form n third chapter at least, in
the diplomatic exchanges with the
allied governments on mandates in
general and the island of Yap IN
particular. The American viewpoint
was first stated by Secretary Colby
in his notes of November and was
supplemented in a note to the
league of nations council rhe notes
of November were never made
public nor has it been disclosed
whether. the allied governments re-
piled. The note sent to the coun-
Gil was referred by 1t to those gov
ernments, the council explaining
this was a proper course since It
dealt with the Japanese mandate to
Yap which, 1t was claimed, was
voted by the supreme council May
II, 1919, while the peace treaty
was being framed. Japan, how
ever. has replied to at least one
American protest. 1t was received
March and in it Japan insisted
on its right to mandate over zap
by reason of the award of the su-
preme council. There also have
been reports that Japan, made the
further point that its forces had
captured this and other Pacific
Islands from the Germans.

Washington, April Z (by the AS
sociated Press.) Administration
officials, it may be stated with au-
thority, confidently expect the allies
to accept the principle restated by
Secretary Hughes in his notes of
Monday, that the United States has
surrendered none of its rights in
the overseas possessions of Germany
and that it cannot be bound by de-
cisions affecting those possessions
made by the league of nations with
out its assent.
There is reason to believe that
the correspondence begun in No
vember, will not be closed with the
receipt of the replies from Japan,
Great Britain France and Italy.
If the expectations of American Of
ficials are realized, details regard
ing American rights will have to
be worked out in negotiation. In
the event, however, that the four
powers do not find their way to an
agreement with the American view
there would arise a situation,

Washington, April 7.--Repeal of
the excess profits tax, higher in
come surtaXes, part of the luxury
taxes and the levieS on soft drinks
and transportation was advocated
today by representative Mondell,
Wyoming house republican leader,
who deGared in a statement that
the public were demanding a
lifting rather than shifting of tax
burdens"
I'VE should approach the ques-
ton Of tax revision" he stated,
with a view OF repeating or re-
ducing the more harmful and OBJ
jectionable of the taxes Just as far
as it is possible 10 do that and
still obtain sufficient revenues,
without adding or substituting any
other taxes, but having in view the
increase revenue likely to be Sc
cured through customs duties"
E'avors Investigation,
Mr.. Mondell favored invcstiga-
tion to determine how far it would
be safe to go with the repeal of
Objectionable levieJ without sub
stituting others. and predicted or
dinary expenditures of the govern
ment would soon be reduced to ap-
proximately $4,000, 100000 year.
He declared that the present
scheme of federal taxation not
only is confusing, inequitable. ex-
asperating. and, as to some of its
features, confiscatory, but the to-
tai lew nlaepa an 1ItOgefh her nm i.

people
In expressing opposition to any
plan to make large payments. from
current revenues on the floating
debt, Mr.. Mondell said receipts
from salvage sales should be used.
He also declared a plan to finance
a tpnus to soldiers should be sep
arated from the general tax
scheme.
