Senor Edwards Declares That Neigh.

Is-Postponed.
DEMANDS FOR SEAP 0RT

Geneva.-Senor Edwards, head OF
the Chilean delegation to the League
of Nations meeting, served formal no
tice upon the League assembly that
Chile will withdraw from the League
if the demands of Bolivia are accepted
The Chilean envoy said that his
country held that the League of Ma.
tiOns assembly was not competent to
revise the treaty Of 1904 between Chile
and Bolivia.
The so-called Tacna-Arica dispute
between Chile and Bolivia concerns
territory. Bolivia, with no outlet to
the Pacific, claimed territory at the
extreme northern end of Chile between
the cities Of Tacna and africa. Unde,
the treaty in question Chile retained
the disputed ground, but allowed Bo
livia free transport to the sea.
The dispute was referred to the
League of Nations by Bolivia and the
Bolivian delegation demanded re-
vision of the treaty along with recog-
milton of the Bolivian demands.
IF the assembly accepts the de-
mands of Bolivia, then Chile can no
longer participate in the activities of
this assembly" said Senor Edwards.
IF the League considers revision of
the Bolivian treaty Germany may later
demand revision of the treaty of Yer
sailles. l ask that the assembly take
an mediate vote on the matter"
Senor Edwards denied that Bolivia
is completely cut off from the sea.
Chile allows Bolivia to make ship
ments to and from the sea-" said the
Chilean delegate. "Chile even allows
munitions to pass which may be used
against our own country later. l ap-
peal to Bolivia to withdraw her de.
mand'
Senor Aramayo, head of the Bolivian
delegation, in replying to Senor Ed
wards, said there could be no hope of
lasting peace in South America if the
present Bolivian Chilean treaty stands.
He moved that the Bolivian demands
be sent to committee for examina-
tion before any vote was taken.
The Bolivian envoy was successful
in obtaining delay. The Assembly de-
cided to postpone further discussion
of the South American dispute until
it could be studied at greater length,
with the understanding, however, that
a definite decision be reached before
the Assembly adjourns. Both sides
agreed to this.
Canada is determined to press her
fight for the elimination of Article 10
of the League of Nations covenant.
This was revealed by Minister of JUS
tice Doherty, of the Canadian Cabinet,
head Of the Canadian delegation
Canada is going to stand by her
guns" said Mr.. Doherty "She will re-
iterate her demand that the League
kill Article TO- If the Assembly votes
to retain it the situation will become
serious for us. Frankly, do not know
what the Canadian Parliament will
do"

AMERICANS BUY
Properties of Frederick and
AIbreckt Of Austria Taken Over
PAPERS SIGNED IN PARIS
Big Steel Works Included-Teschen
I" Plant And Mines, Castles, Sugar
Plantations And Diaries
!. Secured.

Paris.-Negotiation were completed
In Paris whereby the vast estates of
Archduke Frederick of Austria and his
son, Archduke Albrecht-estimated to
be worth more than 100000, ,0OO-were
taken over by an American syndicate
which includes Charles H. Sabin, J.
Leonard Replogle, Frank A. Munsey,
Thomas ]. Fielder and other prominent
American business men. Samuel I'm
termyer, New York lawyer, represent.
ed the syndicate in the negotiations
which have been in progress for some
time, and Archduke Albrecht took part
in behalf of himself, his father, his
wife, Isabel, and his six sisters. DR..
Wilhelm Rosenberg of Vienna, and DR..
Aurel Engry, of Budapest, were coun.
sci for the Hapsburgs.
The meeting here was the last of
series during the past few months at
Carlsbad, Kissingen, Vienna and Paris.
The transaction concerns the vast land
and industrial holdings of the Haps-
burgs, distributed throughout Austria,
Czecho-Slovakia, Jugo-Slavia, Poland,
Rumania and Italy They include the
great steel works and mines in Test
chen, which are partly In Czecho-
Slovakia and partly in Poland. The
estate comprises numerous other in
dustries including the dairies which
formerly furnished most of the Vienna
supply Of milk and butter sugar plan:
tations, factories, apartment-houses,
palaces and other private properties
in, Vienna, castles in various parts OF
the continent, about 100000 acres OF
AGRICULTURAL and forest lands scattered
over several countries, and the re-
markable, Albertina museum in Vienna
which is said to contain nearly one
million worth of art.
Archduke Frederick was field
marshal and was -commander-in-chief
of the Austro-Hungarian armies in the
late war. His great grandfather was
a nephew of Emperor Francis L. and
was adopted by Duke Albrecht Of
Saxeteschen, who. married Arch
duchess Maria Christina. daughter OF
Maria Theresa. Archduke Frederick
is the uncle of King Alfonso, of Spain.
His sister was the Queen Of Bavaria:
Thus a considerable part Of the prop
erty came from the Saxon house.
This is regarded as important by the
members of the American syndicate
because the properties they are taking
over were not part of the possessions
Of the Austrian crown, but came to
Archduke Frederick from other
sources than the Hapsburgs.

TAX BILL TO NET
s3,243,000,000
Secretary Mellon Would Repeal
Excess Profits
AND CUT TRANSPORTATION
Treasury Head Outlines His Views To
Senate Finance Body-Discus-
sion Of His Recommends
tions.

Washington. - Secretary Mellon
again appeared before the Senate Fl.
nance Committee considering the Tax
Revision bill and in answer to ques-
tions recommended a number of
changes in the House bill by which
he estimated 3,234,OOO,O0O would be
raised. Some of his recommendations
were:
Repeal of the excess profits tax, ef-
fective as of last January l, instead
of next January l.
Retention of all Of the transporta-
ton taxes for the calendar year 1922,
but at half the present rates, instead
of complete repeal as of next January
1.
Repeal of the capital stock tax, eff
fective next year, an entirely new pro-
posal.
Reduction of the maximum income
surtax rate from Sc per cent. to 25
per cent, effective January l, 1922, in
stead of to 80 per cent, as provided
in the House bill
An increase of per cent, instead
of 2k per cent, in the normal cor
poration income tax, making the total
Is per cent. retroactive to last Janu
ary l.
A manufacturers tax on cosmetics
and proprietary medicines to replace
the present stamp taxes, which were
eliminated by the House..
Retention of the taxes on insurance
premiums, but at one-half the present
rates. u.
With these exceptions Secretary
Mellon approved the House measure
with its provisions for an increase of
$500 in the exemption to heads of
families having net incomes of $4,000
a year or less, and 5000 additional for
dependents; for decreased rates on
sporting goods, yachts and furs. and
for manufacturers taxes on fountain
syrups and other ingredients of soft
drinks in lieu of the present so-called
nuisance taxes.
Mr. Mellon was before the commit.
tee at two sessions, and there was
general discussion of his recommends
tions, as well as of the probable rev.
enue needs of the Government for this
fiscal year. The Secretary placed
these at s4,O34.OO0,OO0 on the basis Of
the reduction in expenditures agreed
upon at the White House tax confer
ence last August 9, and estimated that
$800,O00,O00 of this total would be
raised from non-tax sources, such as
customs, salvage and the like.
His total to be derived from in
ternal taxes is $134,0OO,OOO less than
the estimated receiptsw under the
House bill for this year, the difference
being accounted for through repeal of
the excess profits tax as of last Janu-
ary 1. 1t was to make up the loss
from the profits tax that Mr.. Mellon
proposed an additional 21a per cent.
increase in the corporation income
tax, retention Of the transportation
and insurance premium taxes and res
toration of the taxes on cosmetics and
proprietary medicines.
