 Exporter Upheald

New York.-The states right to tax a nonresident exporter on busi- ness income has been upheld in a decision rendered by the appellate division of the supreme court, the New York state income tax bureau announced today.
 The courts decision was handed down in the case of George A. Staff ford, resident of Connecticut, whose business offices are located here. He took exception to an assessment by the state comptroller on earnings from sales in Europe and South America of goods manufactured out side of New York state.

Asks Catholics To Contribute To
 Irish Relief
Especial to The Times. )


 Baltimore, Md.-Cardina1 Gibbons has te1egraphed all Archbishops and Bishops throughout the country an appeal to all Catholics to contribute of their bounty to the American Com mittee for Relief in Ireland. Cardi- nal Gibbons appeal will be read in all the Catholic churches next Sun day. He says in part:
 1T earnestly beg all kindhearted and generous Americans to contribute tn the fund for relief in Ireland. Au. thentfc information reveals that viI- lages, towns eand cities have beet in large part burned or wrecked, homes laid in ruins, factories and creamerles destroyed and thousands of persons thrown out of employment while they and their families are left dependent for food and shelter upon the charity of others. The situation Is acute and relief is being admins trated by committee of American and Irish Quakers without distinction or religion or politics.
 All funds are, to be expended sole ly for relief under the supervision of men of the highest character and in satisfaction of knowing that their money is relieving Restitution and bringing comfort and consolation to the women and children of a race that has itself always been pre-em- inently distinguished by generosity and charity.
 While the sad plight of the desti- tute in Ireland appeals to our com mon sentiments of humanity it ought to touch American hearts with spe- c1a1 force The Irish people out of their poverty have more than once in times past sent aid to suffering Americans.
 Nor should we forget that not even to the French nation do we owe more fo rthe achievement of our independ- ence than we owe to the Irish sol d1erS of the American Revolution. To the French we have proved that a nation may be moved by sentiments l of gratitude let us pay some small portion of our debt to the Irish by practical sympathy in their suffer ings. I need not urge upon Americans of 1 Irish descent their special duty to | their own flesh and blood they have given generously to ain other suffer ing people, they will not forget their | own. >' | recommend this cause to the | Catholic clergy of this country what l ever be their own racial origin. The whole Satholic church of America IS l most deeply indebted to the Ir1sh people, it is not too much to expect that in every parish of our land ef- | fective means be taken to coEec1 | funds for the relief of Suffer1ng Ire | land.'
