BRANDS POLICY IS
ONE Of PERSUASION
Won't Use Force Toward Ger
many Until Other Means Fail.
PIacates Harding.
BY NEWTON G. PARkE.
International News Service.

PARIS, Jan. 2O.-The policy Of the
new BRAND ministry. according to an
apparently inspired article in the
Matin today, will be based upon the
following lines:
l. France will not use force against
Germany to compel the strict enforce
ment of the Treaty Of Versailles un-
less all other means fail.
9. Whatever President-elect Hard
ing's plans are toward Germany. Pre-
mier BRAND and his colleagues are
confident that the United States Will
not refuse to support France IN her
efforts to obtain reasonable salts
faction from Germany.
3. France will not entirely abandon
her hostility to the Bolshevik regime
in Russia.
4. France will cooperate with
Great Britain and make every effort
to avoid friction which would lead to
a split between two powers.
1t has been made evident by ad-
vices from Berlin. quoting German
newspapers. that the Germans have
been building high hopes on the pos
sibility of dissension between the
new BRAND ministry and Great Brit
ain.
The new government faced its first
test Of strength in parliament today.
The premier announced that he would
read his declaration of policy In the
chamber during the afternoon.
Pierre Marraud, minister of interior,
was commissioned to read the minis
terial declaration in the Senate at
the same time.
1t was regarded as likely that the
debate on the government interpella-
tions would take up much time, max
ing the vote very late.

BEAUTYPAYSB|C
TAX TOLL TO j. S.

Beauty paid a heavy toll in war
tax to Uncle Sam last year. But
beauty also was heavily robbed. The
Government also lost in the process.
Loose tax laws were to blame. The
Treasury today estimated that the
fair sex paid many millions OF dol
lars, in addition to the purchase price,
in stamp taxes which never reached
the Treasury.
war taxes on beauty preparations
under present laws are collected by
the dealer. Buyers OF perfumes, toilet
waters. sweet scented soaps. rouge
and other cosmetics thought the add
ed charge imposed for taxes all went
to help pay for the war. They were
mistaken to the tune OF more than
s25, 900, 900, Treasury exports said.
This they compute as the sum deal
ers failed to turn in, and loosely
drawn tax laws make IL virtually i'm
possible to trace the offenders.

Mrs. Annette Abbott Adams. assis-

cy of men to create new positions
for women instead Of giving them
chance at the jobs already exist

stances, even in the suffrage states.
Of women holding political office.
according to Mrs. Adams. the
tendency of men Ii to create new
jobs for women in order to prevent
US from meddling with things they
like to do themselves. We women
must work from the inside out, not
from the outside in. The only way
for us to learn enough about gov
ornamental affairs to be competent
to handle departments is to get into
the departments. Women should get
into the established positions, not
have new places created for them
on the outside. They do not want
to be sidetracked." Mrs Adams
went to Washington almost a year
ago as the first woman assistant at
torney-general in the country. She
had been assistant United States at
torney since 1912. She recently
went on record as being against the
