Mai. Gessford claimed that there
Is no provision in the traffio regu-

Must Remove War Taxes
To Boom U.s., Says Oil Man

CHICAGO, June 24.-End war
taxes; stop foreign loans; cut in
terest rates; put q stop to easy
money.
This is the business cure ad-
vocated today by Harry F. Sin
clair, president of the Sinclair
Oil Company. who expressed the
greatest optimism regarding the
present trend of American busi-
ness and che attitude of the buy
ing public.
War taxes must be abolished
and peace methods of raising
government funds instituted to
give the American business man
courage to go ahead" he said
sHe must be assured that when
he does succeed in building up
an enterprise most of the fruits
Of his labor will not be taxed
away from him.
When industries. through the
Federal Reserve banks, can OBJ
tain sufficient funds at reason
able rates of interest to expand
their plants and undertake new
enterprises, foreign trade and
the foreign loans will automat-
ically be taken care Of by the
business men themselves.
The psychology of the Ameri-
can buying public is such that
1t Will not buy unless absolutely
compelled to while prices are GO
ing down. We have hit the bot
tom. and when prices begin to
rise a little again the people will
jump at tho opportunity to buy"

TARIFF OPPOSITION
GATHERS STRENGTH
Bitter Attacks Made on the
Dye and Lumber Sched-
ules.

Opposition to the tariff bill broke
out in three quarters Thursday.
Representative Young, OF Nofth
Dakota, Republican, carried his
fight on the proposed duty on ium-
Der to the floor in a lengthy speech.
Representative Frear, Of wiscon-
sin, Republican, made a public res
olution providing that the dye sche-
dule be eliminated from the tarin
bill.
simultaneously opposition began
to develop to the wool schedule
which will be equivalent to higher
rate than carried In the Payne-Ald-
rich tarin law which contributed to
the downfall OF the Republican
party. Experts have estimated that
the proposed duty of 25 cents per
pound on secured wool content will
in effect be higher than the former
Payne-Aldrich rates. although not
quite so high as the emergency tar
in law rates now in effect.

KERENSKY LEADER
DERIDES PIRACY
On Virginia Trip, He Says Bol.
sheviki Have no Ships
On Seas.

DANVIILE. Va, June 24.-Greg-
ory ZiIboorg, undersecretary OF la
Dor in the Kerensky Russian regime,
passing through here yesterday. de-
clared that il was ''idiocy" to sup
pose that Russian Soviets could be
responsible for the strange disap-
pearances of American ships, the
fate of which is being Investigated
by the Department of Justice. The
Bolsheviki have no ships on the
high seas. he declared. They have
no navy, and all of the Bolsheviki-
controlled ports are blockaded by
the British, and. therefore. were the
ships seized by Russian Reds they
could not succeed in reaching Boil
sheviki ports.
Zilboorg. who has left Russia per-
manently and is now living in New
York. says Americans generally are
exaggerating the Importance OF
Bolsheviki activities, and sees no
menace of such a movement in this
country.

To His Policy
Uses Steam Roller to Win
Approval Of Concessions
to Foreign Capitalists
and Other Compromises
Calls for World Revolt
Terms American Socialists
Traitors for Opposition

BIZ Wireless to The Trsbune

Copyright. 1871. New York Tribune Inc.
BERLIN, July IA complete vic
tory for Premier Lenine at the congress
of the Third Internationale at Moscow
is reported in a radio dispatch to-day
to the Red Flag, the Communist news
paper here. According to the message
Lenlne swept aside the criticism and
opposition of the extremist faction and
by use of steam roller tactics put
through a resolution approving the
Soviet governments policy of giving
concessions to foreign capitalists, as
well as its other compromise measures.
The resolution was drawn up so as
to please both the left and the right
factions. While approving Lenines
compromises it assaiIed bitterly ali the
Socialist parties, including the Amer
lean Socialist party as traitors to the
cause OF socialism and called on the
workers of all nations to start a world
revolution.
The resolution apparently had been
written by Lenine himself Asserting
that concessions and compromises were
necessary to keep the Soviet govern
ment alive, the resolution concluded:
The congress at the same time, how
ever, censures the traitorous attitude
Of the Menshevik minority parties of
all countries who, by their opposition
to the Russian Communist party, have
strengthened capitalist reaction in its
fight against. Soviet Russia and are re-
tarding in every way the outbreak of
world revolution. The Third Inter
rationale calls on the proletariat of all
countries to stand by the Russian
peasants and workers in order to real
ize the October revolution throughout
the world"
Defending himself in a speech against
the attacks of the so-called extremists,
Lenine said that by granting conces-
sions to foreign capitalists Russia OBJ
tanned another breathing space"
eve must utilize this breathing
space" he went on, "to prepare for
the outbreak of the world revolution
in all capitalist countries"
Lenine regards as the most impor-
tant part of this preparation the fight
on the Socialist parties and trade
unions everywhere that refuse to ac-
cept Bolshevik principles and policies
He continued:

receive an invitation to a disarmament
conference in Washington.
Whether Premier BRAND will attend
the conference will depend largely on
the caliber Of statesmen who will rep
resent the other nations invited, was
the opinion expressed in official cir
cles tonight. If Premier Lloyd George
represents Great Britain, it was said
then sit is not impro bable, and even
likely, that M. BRAND will represent
France. However, no decision will be
made until the invitation actually is
received"
France" said Premier BRAND in his
address to the chamber, replies eager
ly to the suggestion for conference.
from which we may hope will come the
final peace of the world"
The whole House broke into pro-
longed applause. NJ BRAND added:
81 am sure | interpret the sentiment
of the chamber when | thank the head
of the state who has taken this noble
initiative and who thought at once of
associating our country with it. 1t is
homage rendered the pacific senti-
n1ents France has always shown in the
gravest circumstances. | do not need
to tell you that the French govern
ment accepts the invitation eagerly. 1t
sees in the idea the possibility of &C
cords which, as regards the Pacific
Ocean, annot be Indifferent to US, be-
cause of our great interests there 1t
sees also the occasion to prove once
again that our country is attached
ardently to the cause of peace"
In concluding the Premier said
France will go to the conference
without mental reservations or Interior
motives. She will seek every means to
limit armament, military as we'll as
naval, in order to diminish the fright
full charges that weigh upon the peo-
pies, a the same time safeguarding
it is we'll understood, our own national
security. The government experiences
particular pleasure in the fact that the
conference will be presided over by
President Harding"
Both the Senate and the Chamber of
Deputies adjourned to-day to recon
vene October r.. The BRAND govern
ment now cannot be overthrow for
three months, and it is considered
virtually certain that M. BRAND will
