Paul Kochanski gave his first recital

Ex-Premier Says Nation Is

ter,atienaI News Service.

On two broad questions Of inter
national policy, the attitude OF the
Harding Administration already has
been made clear to M. Rene Viviani,
Frances special envoy to the United
States.
GERMANY MUST PAY.
One of these is that the United
States will stand solidly on the prin-
cipls that Germany was responsible
Tor the horrors of the world war
and that she must pay for 1t to the
full extent Of her ability.
The other is that the United States
has finished playing the role of q
financially benevolent big brother to
tho whole world, and is now begin
ming to take stock of her assets.
Looming large among these are the
debts aggregating some $4,000, ,00O.-
900 which European governments owe
the United States.
N. Viviani has been told, 1t Is
understood, as politely as possible,
that If there has been any hope on
tho part of France or other European
countries that these sums might be
stricken OF the international fedgers.
II had best be forgotten quickly.
In return. NJ. Viviani, it Is said, has
been able to assure the United States
that so far as France Is concerned
there Is full recognition of the debt
owed the United States, and that 1t Is
the desire OF his government to un-
dertake the liquidation of the $1,000
O00, 900 just as soon as she Is finan-
cially able to do SO. That France will
not be able to do so until Germany
can be forced into beginning her repa-
ration settlements has been the i'm
preston drawn by those who have
talked with the French statesman.
The series Of conferences which has
kept the French statesman busy since
his arrival here were broken off to-
day and he went to New York, where
he will be the honor guest at several
functions. M. Viviani will return to
Washington tomorrow or Monday for

NEW TAX PLAN
GIVEN MELLON
Tentative Senate Revision Aims
To Reach Wealthy Dodgers,
Fixes Sales Charge.
BY W. H. ATKINS,
International News Service.

~.ss~ss AvsNvs ~.
New revenue legislation, designed
to keep the Governments tax income
up to $4,000, 900, 900, began to take
definite shape today, when Secretary
OF the Treasury Mellon received
from Senate leaders a tentative
draft Of q tax revision measure.
NEW PROGRAM OUTLINED.
After a conference upon the pro-
posed tax changes with Secretary
Mellon and Government Actuary Jo-
seph Mccoy, the main features of .
proposed program were outlined by
Senator Smoot OF the Senate Finance
Committee. to include the following:
Impositiea ef q straight sales tax
Of one-half 81 I per cent upon prae-
tically an sales by manufacturers
and AerchantsD repeal Of the excess
preAts taxi and . scaling down Of
the higher suFtaxes to . 81 per cent
bracket.
Senator Smoot asserted that the
proposal for the sales tax Of one-half
of 1 per cent will raise for the Treas
ury $3.50 900, 900. and possibly more.
AIM AT RICH "DODGERs.,
The aim Of Senate leaders. Senator
Smoot said, is to readjust the tax
laws SO that the wealthy will not
find II possible to escape liability to
the Government by investing their
funds in tax exempt securities.
General agreement was said to
exist after the conference; not only
must the excess profits tax be re-
pealed. but that taxes upon scattered
groups Of so-called luxuries must be
repealed.
No change in the normal income tax
rates on the small incomes, is con-
templated. IL was declared. Nor Is
any revision to be made OF the lower
surtaxes upon incomes above $4,000
a year, according to present plans.

NEW YORK, April 2.-The re-

into the murder Of Joseph Bovine

that seldom has been equaled.
CHECK UP TWO MEN.
However, it was learned yesterday
that the investigation has narrowed
down to checking up all movements

the murder and in the early morning

these Is a man well known in high

through his head made by a .45-
caliber army pistol.
Both men now being checked up
were well known to Elwell. One was
frequently in his company. He had
been known as a man-about-town.
The authorities declare he had ample
mo&ive for putting Elwell out of
the way.

The theory which was entertained
for a long time that Elwell might
have been murdered by one OF the
many women he is reported to have
trifled with has been abandoned by

TREATIES ON WAY TO
BERLIN AND Vienna

Washington. Oct 21.-The formal
terms Of ratification Of the peace trea-
ties with Germany and Austria have
been sent forward to Berlin and vi
emma. 1t was announced today. AS
soon as these formal exchanges have
been completed with the former enemy
powers it is expected that immediate
steps will be taken to set up dslomat-
ic machinery and resume normal rela-
tons with those governments.
American troops will begin moving
cut OF Germany Immediately upon the
exchange of the ratifications on the
German treaty. it was added. 4The
movement, 1T was said, will be normal
but slow and will begin in approx
mately two weeks.
The withdrawal Of the troops, It Vas
said, had been delayed because their
presence in Germany had proved to be
far from obnoxious and even desirable
to the government and people of Ger
many. There are now approximately
5000 American troops on the Rhine.
