London evening newspapers print

the action by the Senate Committee
on Naval Affairs in formally indorsing

that disarmament may be achieved, but
that IL is impossible to formulate def

affairs until two events have occurred

held here in May or June.

Despite denials by Paul Doumer
Minister of Finance that the French
Government is considering 20 per
cent. tax on capital, tax which also
will apply on all French currency or
securities held in foreign countries,
Leon Daudet's Royalist newspaper, the
Action Francaise, insists that it pos
sesses evidence to the contrary. THE
NEW YORK HERALD correspondent here
is informed that the actual draft OF
a scheme, prepared by one of NJ.
Doumer's. associates in the Ministry,
has been obtained wherein a plan for
meeting Frances national debt imme-
diately if cancellation of her war debts
is not obtainable, is frankly en-
visaged.
This scheme provides for the stamp
