LOAN TO SIBERIANS
BANNED BY TOKYO

TOKYO. Dec. 81. The Japanese
foreign office has warned a syndicate
headed by Tokyo and Osaka bankers
not to make a proposed 0o,0e0-yen
(s2.500, 000) loan to the -Merkulon
government in Siberia on goods stored
in Vladivostok warehouses which
have been under the guard of jap
anese troops since the Americans and
British retired.
These goods were shipped from
America while Russia was still in
the war. An agreement signed on
December / called for a payment of
10 per cent within a week, which
payment the foreign ONCE forbids.
The army believes the loan permits
sible and proper. but Foreign Min
lister Uchida, backed by the rest
of the government and the foreign
consular body at vladivostok, regards
the loan with suspicion.

M. Litvinoff made this explanation

FAIR TAXES FOR ALL
President Gives Aim of Present
Tax Revision.
Burden Will Not Be Shifted From
Rich Under Proposed Changes in
the Revenue Law.

Washington, Aug. 16.-An official
statement explaining the administra-
ton tax revision program was issued
at the White House. 1t declares that
1.-THE aim was to establish methods
that would raise the needed revenue
within a reasonable certainty, make
collections sure and inexpensive and
properly adjust the burden among all
classes of the community"
1T is felt that highly important
progress has been made along these
lines" the statement says, adding:
There has been no effort to relieve
the rich of their share of burdens, but
rather to insure that no class will be
left an avenue of escape from these.
casual analysis of the proposals
shows that what may be described as
the rich mans taxes will produce
about $1,800,000,00O, while the balance
will be distributed over the entire
community, rich and poor.
The reduction to 81 per cent of the
highest income and surtax brackets
is expected by the experts to produce
actually more revenue from these
sources than do the present much high
er rates. The present rates prevent
transactions which would involve APP
plication of the high rates, and thus
keep taxes away from the govern
ment. They also drive money into the
tax-free securities, to the distress of
business, and they lead to fraud and
evasions.
I'm increasing the tax on corpora
ton earnings an exemption is made
of those having earnings of $1,000 or
less-the poor mans corporations.
The number that would thus be ex-
empted would exceed 100000"

washington, Aug. 17.-World trade

mates showed that this tremendous

Part of these bad debts represent
