DUBLIN SILENT ON
BRITISH PROPOSALS
Sinn Fein Discussions, How
ever, Create Hope of Even
tual Settlement.


LONDON, July 26-The uncanny
silence Dublin maintains relative to
the British governments propose IS
would create uneasiness but for the
known fact that the Sim Fem lead
ers are engaged in daily discussion
OF these proposals. which, as Austen
Chamberlain. the government leader
revealed in the house of commons
Tuesday, were only outlines and
principles" This is interpreted to
mean that they afford a basis for
continued negotiations
No reply has yet been received by
the prime minister from Mr.. De
Valera.
According 10 reports current in
Dublin, that which is called the
rock OF Ulster" is the great OBJ
stacle which must be taken into
consideration. 1t is clear from the
statements Of Lord Birkenhead, lord
high chancellor in the house of lords
and Mr.. Chamberlain in the COM
mons Tuesday that the government
has not lost hope Of a settlement.
the former announced that the gov
eminent was hopeful it would be
able to make statement at an early
date. Mr.. Chamberlain went further
clearly indicating that the govern
ment expected a late autumn session
in order to pass legislation regard
ing peace in Ireland.
These are not the only favorable
signs Mr.. Lloyd-GeOrge has decid-
ed that he will not go abroad, as he
had previously intended for a vaca-
ton; he desires to be available for
any possible development.
Moreover Gen. Jan 1. SHUTS has
booked passage on liner sailing
for South Africa Friday and il is
believed he would not leave England
unless convinced that the Irish ne
gotiations were in line FOR peace.

WASHINGTON, July 26-The sales

OF the four billions of revenue need
ed by the federal government next
house ways and means committee,
Chairman FOrdney said Tuesday at
the opening Of tax revision hearings
Only four days have been set aside
for the hearings and Mr.. Fordney
suggested that witnesses refrain
from consuming time in discussing
such a tax.
Imposing a purchase tax, repeal
of the excise taxes on candy and bot
tied soft drinks and amendment of
the estate tax provision were among
suggestions made to the committee
by witnesses. In addition, the Cram
Der of Commerce of the United
States, in a communication, urged a
general turnover tax on all business
transactions as a part Of a general
tax program advanced by it as the
result of a final referendum vote
among the commercial and industrial
organizations within its membership.
Make Recommendations.
Other recommendation Of the
Chamber of Commerce were repeal
of excess profits taxes and war excise
taxes, both those on transportation
and communication and those levied
in relation to particular business
In place Of these taxes, tax on all
turnovers was urged.
A tax on personal expenditures
was urged by Rep. Mills, republican,
New York. He told the committee
that such a tax would encourage
thrift and penalize extravaganza.
a somewhat similar proposal was
presented by c. P. Landreth, a Phil
adelphia manufacturer, and T. p.
Miller. a manufacturer OF Downing
town. Pa.
They suggested a tax on all purch-
asses by individuals, partnerships and
corporations and estimated on the
basis Of current bank clearings that
this tax would yield approximately
four and falf billion dollars am ual-
ly. Amendment of the estate tax
provision Of the revenue law so an
estate would not be required 70 pay
more than one tax in FIVE years was
urged by L. Q. Deferd. a lawyer of
