PRESIDENT ALARMED
ATPELLAGRASPREAD
Requests Public Health Service
and Red Cross to Make
Investigations.
(sy The Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, July 25.-AIarmed
at reports of a threatened semi
famine" coupled with an epidemic of
pellagra in large section of the south
ern cotton belt, President Harding to-
day requested both the public health
service and the American Red Cross to
make immediate investigation and re-
port what could be done by the fed
eral government to relieve the situa-
tion. The fullest cooperation of all
federal agencies in the relief measures
was promised by the president who
declared that If found necessary con-
gress would be asked to pass special
legislation. He urged that no time be
lost in ascertaining the actual condi-
tions and applying to them an effec-
tive remedy.
The threat of famine and plague" :"
the president wrote to the health serv-
ice and the Red Cross seemed to arise
from the fact that depressed markets
had made it impossible for the people
of a large section of the south to sell
their stocks of cotton. The resulting
shortage Of money, he said. apparently
had deprived many thousands OF the
variety of food necessary to ward off
pellagra.

Navy DENLY Will Urge a
Speedy Enactment.
(Ry The AssooIated Press.1

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Recom-
mendation that approximately thirty
million dollars be the appropriation
for the construction of an airplane car
rier will be made to congress in the
near future, Secretary of the Navy
DENLY announced today.
A measure embodying such a pro-
posaI is pending before the naval COM
mittee and it is understood that the
naval secretary will urge it's speedy
enactment. ...--.
ment Senator King, democrat, Utah,
introduced a BILL which would provide
for conversion of the battle cruisers
Saratoga. Lexington and Constellation
into airpIane carriers and for stoppage
of construction work on the battleships
South Dakota, Indiana, Montana, North
Carolina, Iowa, and Massachusetts,. and
on the battle cruisers Ranger, Consti-
tuition, and United States.
Secretary DENLY said he had decided
on his forthcoming recommendation
even before the recent bombing tests
but that the results of these tests had
convinced him that the navy needed
more airplane carriers. Senator King,
addressing the senate in behalf of his
bill. said that the bombing tests had
demonstrated conclusively that "too
much Importance" had been attached
to capital ships and too little atten-
ton devoted to aircraft and submarine.

Japan's attitude toward the scope OF
the disarmament conference definitely
defined and the way cleared for the
more formal diplomatic exchanges that
are actually to bring the conference

Although the conclusions of the
Japanese advisory council have not
been officially communicated to the
state department the belief here is that
a comprehensive communication on the
subject at issue will be received from
Toxic shortly in response to the
latest American representations sent
through the American embassy there.
Department officials still are confident
the reply will give consent to the
broad discussion of the far eastern
problems proposed by this government
as a part of the disarmament nego-

Four Billions a Year.
MELLON is OPPOSED TO
FORM OF SALES TAX
Secretary of the Treasury Is
Favorable to Flat Tax on

tey Lie Assoclated Press,

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Plans for
building a new tax law took more defi-
nite form today as preparations were
completed for the actual beginning to-
morrow Of revision of the revenue laws
by the house ways and means commit
tee.
President Harding heard details of
what house leaders propose to do
from Chairman Fordney. of the COM
u ittee, during the day. and informa-
ton leaked out intimating. that cent
postage stamps might be resorted to
as a revenue producer. The return to
the three cent stamp was understood
rs have been discussed at the confer
cace Saturday between Secretary Mel
lon and Mr.. Mellon and other repup-
lean members Of the ways and means
committee. The suggestion will be
ken up with the postoffice depart
a. ent before any further moves are
ii ade, however, it was stated.
In the search for methods of rais-
ur around four billion dollars q year,
members Of the committee were de-
i ared to have talked also Of stamp
Tx on bank checks, but that sugges-
on was understood to have been
fowned on by the treasury. Other
samp tax proposals may get some
consideration in the committee but
members said candidly they feared the
reaction from them.
Mr.. Mellon, it was said, had told
the committee that he was opposed to
the use of any kind of sales tax to
sapplant the excess profits levy, which
Il is conceded will be abandoned. He
was represented as being favorable to
flat tax on corporations, believing
taat such a tax would offset losses
due to the contemplated repeal OF the
Profits and some minor assessments.
Committee members declared they
believed the corporation tax would
lake the form of 10 per cent levy
on incomes, with the exemption of
$4,000 now in effect abolished. Repre-
sentative Longworth, republican, OF
Chic, who has bill making such pro-
visions, said the corporation tax would
yield around a half billion dollars
year. Mr.. Longworth's bill also would
reduce the higher surtaxes on m
comes, and his plan in this respect
was said to have the treasury secre-
tlry's approval
The opening session of the hearings
tomorrow will include discussions OF
about all phases OF revision, according
90 the calendar posted tonight by the
committee. Mr.. Fordney said he would
insist up on concluding the open ses-
sions in four days. he believed the
house would get the measure in about
three weeks. but other house leaders,
Including Representative Mann, repub-
lean, Illinois. said the bill could not

INDEPENDENCE ONLY
WILL SATISFY The
SINN FEIN LEADERS
Declaration of Official Organ of
the Dali Eireann From
Headquarters.
tay The Associated Press.)

LONDON, July 25.-Nothing less
than national independence win con-
tent the Sim Fein leaders. The Irish
Bulletin, official organ of the Dali
Eireann makes this declaration from
the headquarters in Dublin.
While nothing is actually known of
the nature of the governments pro-
posals, beyond the general outline of
dominion home rule, and fiscal autono-
my, the Bulletin contains an outburst
against the assumptions of the Brit
ish press concerning the negotiations,
which appears to show that the pro-
posals are unsatisfactory so far as
southern Ireland is concerned.
Resentment is expressed at hints in
the British newspapers that there
would be a revival Of the military
terror" unless the so-called "concess-
ions" were accepted. But" declares
the official organ of the republican
parliament, ''the Irish people win agree
to nothing which denies the ancient
unity of Ireland or seeks to impose
upon the nation alien dominion of any
kind"
The outburst, which incidentally re-
pudiates any wish to coerce Ulster, is
taken in certain quarters to be more
of an expression of impatience with
the patronizing air of some of the
London newspapers than an indication
of breach in the negotiations.
1t at least cofirms the impression
generally held here that the path to
peace is likely to prove long and diff
ficult
According to Associated Press dis
patches from Ireland the government
proposals include a plan to re-organ-
ize the Irish police on civil basis
eliminating the military element and
disbanding the auxiliaries. This would
be an important concession to Irish
feeling.
Eamonn DeValera, the republican
leader, took up with the members of
his cabinet today details of the Brit
ish proposals, preparatory it is under
stood to submitting them to the Dali
Eireann.
The British cabinet council tonight
decided to bring the session of parlia-
ment to an end August 30 unless an
Irish settlement makes an autumn
session necessary"
This provisional decision is taken
