On Getting at the Truth

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your editorial "Russia's Rx-
port of Falsehoods' you offer two
simple" tests for determining the truth
or falsehcod Of statements that may
emanate from that country, namely:
l. Does the statement cohere in its
parts9
2 Is it consistent with uncha.ienge-
able facts otherwise known?
Unfortunately information does not
always proclaim its pedigree. nor is
it labeled ''unohallengeable7 for the
proper guidance Of the wayfaring man,
though fool. The waysaring man re-
calls a'so that the highly specialized
and not inrreqvently lucrative profess

and another well-hnown writer

Tax Revision First

TIE Serate Finance Committee
las decided 70 give tax revision the
rght of way over tariff revision.
# was mistake on the part of the
House Of Representa- ives TO take up
:he tariff bill first An emergency
tariff bill, passed by the last Con-
ress. vetoed by Mr.. Wilson and re-
passed by this Congress. has gone
into effect and protects the pro-
iucers-chiefy in the agricultural
sell-who, with 4 coilapsing home
market on their hands, have feared
The pressure Of foreign inporta-
tons. In other lines Of industry
there is little immediate need Of re-
vision, in view Of the greatly unset
tied conditions of production here
and abroad.
Tax revision was the one thing in
shich the country as z whole was
most deeply interested when Con-
Gess met. The Republican plat
form promised it. There is still
an unabated demand for it. Re-
iuction Of governmental expendi-
ures has fortunately made a real
evision downward possible. There
sre taxes on excess profits and
saner-taxes on incomes which have
Shecome practically reproductive
Is we'll as a burden on investment
znd business. They ought 20 be
abolished at. once, along with the
transportation taxes-a penalization
Of conmerce-and the nuisance
axes," which are annoying ard
futile. People are far more inter
ated in getting direct taxation
Eshonalized than they are in I'M
posing new duties on imports, the
elects of many of which cannot be
gagged al the present time.
The tax bill ought to be passed
before the end Of the year. The
isrld bill can be held back with
cut inconvenience or injury.

lions by other scholars and states
men have received wide considera-
tion. Diplomats. professors. jour-
nalists, lawyers and limited NUM-
Der Of business men have attended
the course. It has brought into in
innate contact men Of learning and
students Of foreign affairs from al,
parts Of America. 1t has stimulated
the study Of international relations
and brought home the growing i'm
portance Of foreign politics in
America.
Great credit is due to Mr.. Bernard
M. Baruch. whose generosity has
made possible not only this session
but two further sessions Of the in
stitute. Quick to appreciate the
great value Of such an experiment in
the advancement Of learning and Of

school for its first three years. This

Inns newspapers attention was ar
rested several days ago By 4 state
ment of the executive council Of the
American Federation of Labor,
which has been foregathering at At
lantic City, to the effect that the
school books of the United States are
tainted. To the end of eradicat ting
the taint it was announced that the
executive council forthwith proposed
to supply schools, colleges and libra
ries with reliable information"
upon industrial problems and afford
every possible aid to textbook

From The London Merearpj
THE haze of noon wanned silver-rrev
The scundless mansion of the sun:
The air, made visible in his ray.
Like molten glass from furnace run.
Qulvered Ger heat-baked turf and stone
And the fower Of the sorse burned on
Burned softly as gold of fairest hair
Along each spiky spray, and shed
Almond-like incense on the air
Whereon our senses fed.
At foot-a few sparse harebells. Blue
And still as were the friends dark eyes
That dwelt on mine, trsnsAxed through
With sudden ecstatic surmise.
"H'stlv he cried softly, smiling, and 10!
Stealing from midst that maze roId-

From guileful throat of bird, unseen
So delicate the straining ear
Scarce carried its faint syllabling

Of birdlike self with self We stood
In happy trance-like solitude
Hearkening that lullay grieved and

AS when, on isle uncharted beat
'Gainst coral at the trees root.

Through spicy air mellihuent,
