But as to America, whence the propo

this sort given to her had, at first been
borrowed from English psychology:
then from the most abstract and abso-

in few lines the principles of this
Neo-Realism. But it is certain that
the teachings named Pragmatism and
Pluralisn. by William james, and
Humanism by his distinguished disci-
pie Schiller, have brought the thought
of the American philosophers nearer to
man and the world, and caused it to
descend from the German empyrean.
But / only wanted to point out here
the coincidence that exists between the
appearance of new philosophy and
that of Mr.. Hughes's noble policy. /
leave it 10 those more capable to find
the relations which certainly exist be-
tween one and the other.
This evening the newspapers-as was
to be expected-raise the cry that en-
thusiasm is followed by reflection.
What reflection? France has no longer
ships, but arsenals peopled with a
numerous idle personnel. What will
be done with thcm?s Gould England,
without riots, without revolutions,
close her dockyards during ten years
And then, there are the dreadnoughts

These objections had to arise But
does one for moment think that they
were not foreseen by Mr.. Hughes
Beside the immense question of inter
national politics which he heroically
grasped, the aforesaid objections must
have appeared to him negligible de-
tails. England, America, Japan, do you
want without being forced by destiny
to limit your growing power? You do?
Then the rest is nothing. In England
railway bridges will be made instead
of capital ships. And as to the French
arsenals, changing the occupation of
people, who already were doing moth

Expense and Number of Deaths
Urged as Reason for Discon-

From, The Tribune's Washington Bsrec

From, The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Subst antial
approval has been given by the House
to the plan to discontinue the oper-
alton of all present postofice air mail
routes, and similar action being sought
iE the Senate by Senator Townsend,
chairman of the Senate Postofice Com
mttee, is expected to result in the linn
itation of the air mail service to one
transcontinental route.
The reason for such action is three
fold. The routes between New York
and Washington, the Twin Cities and
Chicago and Chicago and st. Louis are
being operated by the Postoffice Depart
ment without authority of law from
more than the cost of railroad trans
portation; the contracts entered into
by the department provide for a cost
ranging from sixty to ninety times
more than the most of railroad trans
portation and the mounting number
Of fatalities resulting from use of I'M
safe planes are the reasons advanced.
Four men in the Twin Cities service
have been killed in less than a week.
The action in the House which is ex-
pected to shut down the air mail routes
was the striking out yesterday from

100000 to defray the expenses of the

the various countries in complete ig-
norance of the fact that Bremen is
the center of the propaganda move
ment. These subordinates have beer
led to believe that their instructions
come direct from Moscow.
The director of the whole organiza-
ton in Bremen, according to the docu-
ments, is a Peoples Commissary, who
acted, as occasion required, under
three names. One was German. the
second Russian and the third was that
of a Polish Jew.
In ferreting out the source CT the
propaganda the police learned from the
Esthonian government records that in
the last year 200 vises have been
granted to Russians VINO desired to
leave their country, and only 585 of
these returned. For many months the
police have known of the existence in
Central Europe of Bolshevik propa-
ganda organizes ton, but they had never
been able to lay their hands on it. They
felt that it would be somewhere on the
main line of travel between Russia and
Western Europe. They expected it to
be centrally located, so that couriers
from France, Great Britain and Italy
could easily pass.
After Litvinoff's trouble in Denmark
the police decided it was useless to
look further in that country They
therefore, conferred their attention on
large cities where such an organization
would attract little attention and where
the best of rail and water Transports

German Problem Left for Harding

From The TTi5une'y Washington Bureaus
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Whether
the American government would serve
in the capacity of mediator between
the Allied governments and Germany
over the PREPARATIONS controversy was Il
matter Of speculation here to-day. fol-
lowing the receipt of the Berlin dis
patch that Germany may seek this
means of reducing the amount Of rep
arations fixed at the recent Paris con.
ference.
Officials were disinclined to discuss
the possibility of American mediation
until some definite request has been
received. The American view has al
ways been, however, that Germany
should not be compelled to pay more
than she is economically able, and sen
timent here has been to fix the figure
low enough for complete payment over
O. period of years.
The present Administration is in
clined to leave all international affairs
in their present state awaiting the new
Administration, and the German rep
arations matter will probably be in
cluded in the numerous problems which
will confront the new Secretary of
State.

TAX REDUCTION IS
BIGGEST PROBLEM
BEFORE CONGRESS
How to Prevent Increases Wor-

Follow Tariff Action.
BY J. BART CANT ~.
lnterna ttonal News service.

Taxation is worrying Republican
leaders of Congress today more than
at any time since the outset OF the
present Administration.
They admit that the most serious
problem they are struggling with is,
not how to reduce the gross amount
OF taxation under which the American
people are staggering, but how to
prevent 1t from being materially in
creased.
Decrease Unlikely.
The plain. unvarnished truth of the
tax situation is declared to be that
no matter how successful Congress Is
In changing the form of taxation there
Is little or no prospect Of 1t being
able to tighten the taxes the great
mass OF people are compelled to pay.
The tax on the ice cream cone the
child's nickels buy, the tax ON the
sundae, and the soft drink" are
likely to stick. The tax the railroad
or the steamboat passenger digs down
for will probably remain.
Some relief to business by the aboli.
ton of the excess profits tax, and a
reduction In the higher income taxes,
Is promised, and the little fellow"
IL expected to benefit from the bust.
ness revival predicted by tax revision
III tTis ulTeCtlOn.
Senator Penrose, Republican, of
Pennsylvania, chairman Of the Senate
Finance Committee. does not believe
that tax revision can be accomplished
before tariff legislation is enacted. He
Is not opposed to taxation first" but
he says he can see no practical legis-
latitve way to push taxation ahead
of the tariff.
Senator Watson. Republican, OF In

rose committee. disagrees with the
Pennsylvania Senator. rhe country's
business interests are pounding hard

At Odds on solution.
Penrose says he does not see how
1t can be done, Watson insists II can
and must be done. The conflict in
opinion between Penrose and Watson
In shared by both their Republican
and Democratic colleagues. A hot
verbal battle over taxation in the Sen.
ate Is already brewing, although the
House has not yet tackled the subject.
The tax situation Is being aggra.

for deficiency appropriations running
into hundreds of millions of dollars
