Harding to Announce
Rail Debt Funding
Plan Next Tuesday

Washington. July 22-President
Harding will submit to congress next
Tuesday the administration plan for
funding the debts of the railroads to
the government and meeting with
out additional appropriations the
claims of the roads growing out of
federal control.
An understanding has been reach
ed between the roads and the admin
istration, it was learned today to
facilitate speedy settlement of the
claims of the carriers without any
new arrangement or notifications of
the wartime contracts with the
government. Authority to fund the
debts of the roads, it was explained,
is given the President by the trans
portation act, but it was deemed adj
visable to acquaint the congress
with the methods under considera-
ton.

ONLY JAPAN
CAN POSTPONE
CONFERENCE
On Armament Limita-
ton and Problems
of Far East
invitations to Powers By Unit
ed States Likely to Await
knowledge of Japan's Posi-
ton Which is Now Regarded
Hopefully-No Small Ma
tons to be Represented

Washington, July 22-Unless check
ed by unexpected developments at
Toxic, the United States government,
it was believed today, will act with
out further loss of time in perfectinG
its plan for a conference of the prin-
cipal powers on limitation of arma-
ments and Far Eastern subjects. The
extent to which Japan is willing to
participate in the discussion is under
stood to be under consideration at
meeting of the advisory council and
there appeared to be reason to be
lieve that the Japanese statesmen
would reach a decision favorable to
discussion OF questions arising out
Of the Orient although, perhaps, with
certain reservations.
Until the position of Japan has
been more clearly defined, it appeared
improbable however, that the formal
invitations would be sent to the va
lious governments. IT is known that
the proposed conference was men
toned at the cabinet meeting but it is
understood not to have been dis
cuSsed to great extent.
The informal conferences between
Secretary Hughes and Ambassador
Shidebara are known to have gone
far towards convincing the admins
tration that the Japanese government
will agree TO entering the conference
without material reservations and
the general questions at issue will be
approached frankly and freely by all
participants.
Insistent suggestions that Bel
GUM should be given a seat at the
conference have not changed the
opinion of the United States govern
ment that the discussion should be
limited to the principal allied and
associated powers as generally &C
cepted. 1t was explained that to
open the doors to Belgium would
make it necessary to permit the en-
try of any other government making
application. 1t was declared that in
maintaining such an attitude there
was no intention of discrediting Bel
GUM or any of the other small pow
erS and that the conference always
would be willing to hear the repre-
sensations of any nation, even
though not 4 member of the con-
ference. in cases where her interests
We're affected.
The reiteration of the suggestion
that preliminary conference be
held at London also failed to cause a
favorable reaction here. 1t was in
dictated clearly that the United
States believes that such preliminary
discussion as may be necessary
should take place here.
The exact date which the United
States will suggest for the conven-
ing of the conferences had not been
determined, but it is understood that
November IL. the anniversary of the
signing of the armistice, is still re-
Garded as peculiarly appropriate.

to Replace Exec SIS
Profits Tax
Amount Same as Under Pres
ent Law But to Be Raised in
Way to Readjust Burden and
Encourage Business-High-
er SurtaXes Expected TO
Come Down

Washington, July 22.-The House
ways and Means Committee will set
about tax revision with the idea of
raising four billion dollars in revenue
exclusive of postal receipts in the next
year, Chairman Fordney said tonight
after he, with other republican MEM
bers of the committe. had conferred
at length with Secretary Mellon on
the general subject of taxation. The
amount required is the same as has
been raised by the present law and
shows no hope therefore of a reduc-
ton in the gross amount needed
The governments requirements will
be met. however. in slightly differ
cnt manner than under the present
law, the chairman said Many chan
ges are proposed in the hope of re-
adjusting the burden in way that
will encourage commerce and indus
try end thereby increase the revenue,
according to Mr.. Fordney.
From Mr.. Fordney's remarks, it ap-
peared that majority committee mem
bers were agreed on abolition of the
excess profits tax and the substitu-
ton for it Of some levy on corpora
tions. probably around fifteen per
cent. Reduction in the higher sur
taxes on incomes also seemed assured
since they are regarded at the treas
ury as driving capital into tax exempt
securities and as a disbursement
to investments of a nature which pro-
duce federal revenue.
