LONDON, Oct. so.-Noa only che
stock markets but the industrial worlt
Is beginning to show q rather more
cancellation of Allied war indebted
ness continues to receive much atten.
ton, and the speeches of Reginald Nc.
kenna, former Chancellor of the Ex
chequer, in Chicago, and of former
Premier Asquith here aroused the
greatest interest
The attitude of the American people
as reflected in the opposition OF the
Washington government to consider
the question of wiping out Great Brit
aims huge debt provided abe Cancelled
loans made to the Allies during the
war has not dampened hopes here
During the week reports have ema.
mated from Paris to the effect that
the question at some stage Of the
Washington negotiations. as it is con-
sldered an important phase of the
French defensive policy.
That the whole question Of repara.
tions will be reconsidered within the
next few months is generally believed
in financial circles in close touch with
political leaders. The depreciation OF
the mark is injuring British trade to
considerable extent, and the govern
ment-which, in the last analysis, is
carrying the weight Of unemployment
is anxious to relieve industrial con-
thing can be done along the lines sug-
gested by Mr.. McKenna, who is con-
sidered Brtain's great banker and
financial authority.
Even though Washington remains
adamant against cancellation Of the
war obligations, reparations certainly
will undergo revision before many
months have passed.
Reports to the contrary notwith.
standing, Great Britain has no inten
tion of abandoning the trade campaign
in Russia. 1t is true that results &C
far have failed to fulfill expectations
but they have been sufficient to give
hope of Improvement in the future.
Contrary to expectations, there wa.
no change in the discount rate at the
Rank II England last week, the figure
remaining at 51a per cent. A new gov
ernment loan is expected within s. shor
time. municipalities must float loans
soon 20 provide work for the unem
ploved During the week q semi official
announcement was made that resump
tion of work on expansion of the un
derground transit system might be ex
pected. This construction has beer
held up since the beginning Of the war
The subway companv let it be known
that it would undertake the project OF
the express condition that it receiv,
ten-year monopoly. This demand
aroused the hostility Of so many locs
bodies that it was dropped quickly.
The sharp demand for dollars in The
latter part of the week caused q re.
action in sterling. but political devel
opmonts had no effect on the exchange
market.

PARIS, Oct. 30.-Popularity Of lot
terry loans In France will permit the
government to handle the most impor-
tnnt part of rebuilding the devastated
| regions irrespective Of Germany's obli-
cations.
The Credit National Bank has just
successfully launched new 3,o0o,Ooo,-
600 franc per cent lottery loan as
continuation Of Its program begun in
1919 for restoration of destroyed in
dustries and properties in the north.
Loans totaling 1900, 100000 francs
have now been floatcd by this institu-
| tion alone. These loans are limited to
60 per cent Of the capitalization Of the
properties and thus are theoretically
| first moregages, guaranteed by the gov
ernment.
The lottery feature appeals to the
small investor not only from q gam
bler's viewpoint, but also from that of
an investor who sees in addition an
opportunity for large prizes honestly
distributed. Thirteen million francs
in prizes are distributed annually,
ranging downward from 100000 francs
Thus the average yield is 6.35 per cent
UNTIL redemption IN 1885.
With the addition of the 1700000o,-
600 franc loans, the government 90 far
has raised $4,000 900, 900 francs for re-
treasury bills and the issue of bank
notes. Fifteen billions of the latter
were used for indemnification of in
Nabitants dispossessed in the north.
Of total of 4,S00,000 of these 4,00O,-
900 have returned to their homes
The remaining 11,0O0.000,O00 francs
were used in the re-esta blishment of
railroads. highways and public services
/ 1t has been estimated that at pre-war
prices 26000000, 900 would have been
sufficient to complete rehabilitation of
the provinces, but current prices are
three times pre-war values, and there
fore nearly 90,0o0,000,000 francs will
be required.
Railroad repairs nave been completed
and work on factories and mines has
passed the so per cent basis, with the
prospect of complete recovery in 1925.
Although what was once the richest
section of France is now at least self
supporting, the population is suffering
hardships in the scarcity OF funds for
rebuilding homes More than 100000
houses are required Immediately, and
1t is hoped that under the Wiesbaden
agreement Germany Will PROVIDE raw
material as we'll as the finished prod
ucts for this purpose within two years
The French government has already
advanced 65,000,000,00O francs, due from
Germany under the Versailles Treaty,
for reconstruction and pensions, and
cannot now continue supplying funds
without shaking international conf
dence in Frances economic stability
Her plan now is to cease imitation
and regulate expenditures TO income,
so as to lessen the burden of s0,OO0,-
100000 francs floating debt and con-
vert It into long term bonds. The in
tereat rate should drop to per cent
by spring If no further loans are
brought out which would make in
vestors desire fixed income.

TAX IDEA PERFECTED.

New York, Dec 15.-At last we
have found an absolutely sound and
just theory of tGxeiion and The Com
mercial enjoys the unique distinction
of having brought it to the country's
attention.
The theory is that advanced by Mr..
John Rogers, Tax Attorney of the
City of Knoxville, published in The
Commercial Dec. 8. The idea ap-
peared to me to be so sound that
mailed the article to DR.. Arthur T.
Hadley, distinguished economist and
President Emeritus of Yale Universe
ty, who is now engaged on new
book ON economies. DR.. Hadley re-
piled as follows:
New Haven, Dec. is, 1921.-My
dear Mr.. 5hearon: Many thanks for
your Kindness in sending me Mr..
John Rogers article. I have seldom
seen a statement which so thorough
ly sifted out the wheat from the chaff
III Henry Georges theories. The city
of Knoxville is fortunate in having
such a ciear-headed tax attorney.
Very sincerely,
ARTHUR T. HADLEY."
1 wired DIR. Hadleys letter to the
Knoxville Sentinel and then took it
and The Commercial article to the
New York Times, but found them
asleep at the post. The managing
editor referred me to Editor Miller's
secretary, saying Mr.. Miller was not
in. His secretary was also out as
was Mr.. Ochs and his secretary.
then took the matter to the ed
.itor of The Nation, who said that he
would look it over very carefully
with a view to commenting on it ed
itorially. l am also going to tring
it to the attention of the Single Tax
Review, the New Republic and one
or two ether publications.

To the People of Union City.


In withdrawing from the race for
Alderman, l would like to say for the
benefit of those interested, especially
those who were in the mass meeting
indorsing the city ticket named by
the committee of sixteen, that while
I accepted the nomination l never
was at any time satisfied that it was
proper for me to become identified
with the management of city affairs,
and the more I thought of it the
more was convinced that it was not
the proper place for a newspaper
man. This idea of responsibility may
seem to be rather finely drawn, but
/ cannot get rid of it. There are sew
eral angles to the subject. The more
plausible one is that the newspaper
can best serve the public in it's Ca
pacity as an agency for the public
veal If the paper does its duty this
may bring about conflict which
would embarrass the man in the dual
capacity of a city official and the
publisher of paper
However our municipal affairs
have been conducted by men of very
high integrity and ability.
The Commercial has been glad that
it's duty seemed to be in the support
of the various administrations of city
government law enforcement, in
public works, and in many other
ways in the discharge of public du-
ty. There have been some conflicts,
but really they are small compared
to those of other cities.
From the personnel of the city
ticket named by the people of Union
City in mass meeting, and / am free
to say also of the opposition SO far
developed, there is every reason to
believe that this high degree Of pub
lie standards may be maintained.
Personally / would like to add that
it would be hard to find more con-
genial or a more capable body of
men to be associated with than the
gentlemen who have been named as
candidates for mayor and aldermen
of Union City, and should have been
called on to make any change l
wouldn't know where to go or how
to do it. The conclusion was a little
tardy, but I feel that the people of
Union City have been more than COM
pensated in the privilege of voting
for that very fine man, Mr. Bob Cum
mings, who, l am sure, will make q
first-class aldermen.
l expect as member of the COM
mittee and of the mass meeting to
support the city ticket named by
these men and women. feel it to
be duty.
am deeply grateful to the COM
mittee and the people who have been
interested in my connection with the
city ticket, and with these state
ments beg you to accept my humble
thanks. E. H. MARSHALL.

Mr.. r. L. Cummings was named
