he points out that it is now the pol
icy OF the federal government not to
issue its own obligations free from prof.
! its and surtaxes but that states and
municipalities are issuing full tax ex-

Must Curb Expenditures.
Emphasizing that expenditures for
this fiscal year have been at the rate
of $5,OOO.OOO, 900, Mr.. Mellon warns
congress that the nation cannot con-
tinue to spend at this shocking rate"
Substantial cuts in current expendi-
lures, he says, offer the only hope of
effective relief from the tax burdens.
THE last congress-" he goes on to
say, made a creditable record in re
ducing appropriations and it effected
economies. Notwithstanding the re-
duced appropriations. however, expend-
itures have continued Unexpectedly high
and the reduction in expenditures has
barely kept pace with the shrinkage in
receipts.
Revenues Are Reduced.
Reduction of appropriations, more
over, will not of itself be effective to
reduce expenditures unless at the same
time the congress avoids or controls
measures which result in expenditures
without an apparent appropriation"
Mr.. Mellon said that estimates for
the fiscal year 1922 are subject to great
uncertainty as to both receipts and ex-
penditures. The estimated collections
Of So. .7OO,OOO,OOO of internal taxes are
based on the provisions of existing law,
he added, and are $3.50. 600. 900 less than
the estimated collections for 1921,
chiefly because Of the shrinkage in bust
ness.
They are liable to be somewhat fur
ther reduced from the same cause" he
says.

Mistreated in Russia
Because of Escape of

Riga, Letvia, May 1.-(By The As

day.
The transfer of Captain Fitzpatrick,
to this prison. which is solitary

methods are used by the committee to
wiring confessions from inmates, was
due, according to the belief expressed
in Riga, to the escape from another

Captain Cooper had no assistance in
making his escape. He had not seen
Captain Fitzpatrick for several months.
but according to the present 'sTcheka"
ideas. the fact is that Fitzpatrick and
Cooper at one time lived at the same
prison camp. This, 1t is declared.
would be sufficient to make difficulties
for Fitzpatrick.
Madame Scala brought no details of
the transfer Of Fitzpatrick. She said
she merely knew that orders had been
received that the food packages which
her organization had been sending to
Fitzpatrick should be addressed to him
at the ''Tcheka" prison. Madame Scala
added that all the Americans in prison
in Russia now were receiving food
packages.
Doubt was expressed BY Nine. Scala
that William Flick, American motion

Russia, had gone on hunger strike.
She said Flick had received food pack

prime minister replied that American
public opinion would not approve of
such course, and he could not agree
to blockade which would bring the
allies into controversy with the United

view. He added that the course of
the United States had been absolutely
correct.
Fearful OF Mediation.

with General Nollet, president Of the
inter allied commission, who was sum-
noned by the French premier from Ber-
