Tax Revision Impartial,
White House Declares

Washington, Aug 13.-An official
statement explaining the administra-
tons tax revision program was is
sued today at the White House.
1T is felt that highly important
progress has been made" the state
ment says, adding:
There has been no effort to re-
lieve the rich of their share Of the
burdens, but rather to insure that no
class will be left an avenue of es-
cape from these. A casual analysis
of the proposals shows that what may
be described as the rich mans taxes
will produce about 81 100000, while
the balance will be distributed over
the entire community, rich and poor.
The whole tax reform program
contemplates freeing business from
what have been paralyzing and cx-
asperating restrictions, encouraging
to the utmost the resumption of en-
terprise and business

Flood of Liquor
Pouring Into US.
By Way of Detroit
Seven Truck Loads Seen on
Canadian Docks Headed for
''Dry" Territory Across
Border.

Detroit, Aug. 13.-Although Fed
eral Prohibition Director Graham
announced yesterday after confer
ence with Canadian customs officials,
he found reports of the amount of
liquor being cleared for the United
States from Canada were greatly ex-
aggerated, seven automobile trucks
loaded with whisky were counted on
the municipal docks at Sandwich
Friday, while the conference was in
session. Each truckload was placed
aboard launches which headed for
Detroit.
Launches we're piled high with
whisky and beer openly. Sandwich
city employees worked nearby and
paid no Eee1 to the liquor rurners'
operations.
+ At one of the Windsor breweries
inquiries brought the announcement
that eight or 10 truckloads would
be leaving Friday night, with beer
consigned to Detroit by way Of
small river boats.
Rum running from Canada, which
was well-nigh stopped when On
tario went dry, July 10, has not
only been resumed, but is assunl-
ing greater proportions than ever,
following a ruling of Magistrate
Gundy in Windsor police court
Wednesday. He directed that Cana
dian officers had no right to stop
shipments of liquor destined Tor the
United States or any other point
outside Ontario.
Canadian customs officers there
after determined that, since such
shipments were legal, they had no
right to deny them clearance papers.
They are issuing clearance papers to
anyone who asks for them, cover
ing shipments of all sizes.
The price of good" liquor, which
had scared in the case OF Irish
whisky to $19 quart and was from
So to $40 for Canadian liquor, is
headed downward. Hearing On the
temporary injunction, restraining
federal authorities from interfering
with shipments by Walker Brothers,
Ltd, of liquor in bond through

be started before Judge Arthur G..

Crisis Near
In Parley
With Irish
Floyd George Considers De
Valera's Reply Almost
Equivalent to Rejection of
British Peace Offer.
Sim F einers Still Hopeful
By TOHN STEELE.


Chicago Tribune Cable, Copyright. 1921.
London, Aug. l3-Developments
in the Irish situation have taken a
new turn, as result of Eamonn de
Valera's reply to the British govern
ment's proposals for settlement.
Prime Minister Lloyd George con-
s'ders the reply as almost equival-
ent to a rejection of his offe-, while
the Sim Fein leaders reiterate that
it is merely step in the negotiations
and there is nothing in it to cause
any uneasiness.
The secret as to the contents Of
the note is we'll guarded, but from a
person in close touch with the situ-
alton it was learned that while the
wording was confused and evidently
the work of men not used to delicate
negotiations, the prime minister CON-
siders that the writer's have returned
to the separatist position which it
was understood they had abandoned.
Take Same View.
A majority of the members of the
cabinet, in their meeting this morn
ing, were said to have taken the
same view
The cabinet meeting was attended
by Viscount Fitzalan, viceroy of
Ireland, and General Macready, COM
mander of the British forces in Ire
land. I is declared the members
decided to take a conciiatory tone
in sending reply and asking further
elucidation, but at the same time
pointing out that negotiations could
not drag on indefinitely 1t is ex-
pected the reply will reach Mr.. De
Valera tomorrow, in time for him
and his colleagues to study it before
the meeting of Dali Eireann Tues
day. ...,..-.,--s .. ..... ...
Sim Fein Hopeful.
The Tribune's correspondent in
Dublin wires that feeling there is
hopeful of peace. 1t is stated in
Dublin that Mr.. De Valera's note
was the result of pressure brought
to bear on him by extremist repub-
licans, who believe that now is the
time to secure complete independ-
ence. The moderate Sim Feiners,
however, seem confident of carrying
the day when Dali meets.
Mr.. De Valera is now touring the
martial law country in company
with Richard Mulcahy.
