France Denies Deal With
Reds on 5 Billion Debt

PARIS. August 8. Reports that ne
gotiations for recognition of the Rus
sian debt to France were impending
which have been in circulation for sew
cral days, were given official denial to-
day
The denial seems to have been
prompted by circumstantial state
ment, declared to be on reliable au-
thority, printed here to-day that such
negotiations had been begun last night
by Louis Loucheur, French Minister of
Liberated Regions. and Leonid Kras-
sin, Russian Soviet Minister of Trade
and Commerce..
II was said at the Foreign once
to-day that france had had no direct
communication with the Russian Soviet
government for long time on any
subject other than mere details Of the
repatriation of prisoners
1t was pointed out also that George
Louis, former French Minister to
Petrograd, to whom in one version Of
the story the Initiative in the reputed
negotiations between Krassin and the
French government was attributed, had
been dead for three years.
Before the collapse of the Czarist
regime IN Russia, that government had
contracted q debt to France approx
mating $5,000,000 900. When the Soviet
administration Of Russia was estab-
hshed the Bolsheviki refused to ac-
knowledge this debt.

Mellon to Offer
Revised Copy of
Tax Plans To-fla '
Will Appear in Person 10
Discuss Rail Financing
Before Department Heads
and House Committee

WASHINGTON, Aug. g. Treasury
Secretary Mellon is to reappear to-
morrow before the House Ways and
Means Committee and is expected to
pre sent the revised copy Of his
memorandum containing possible new
sources for taxation. Committee mem
bers had expected to receive the copy
to-day, but after an invitation had
been sent to the Secretary to reap
pear he decided to present the
memorandum in person.
Chairman Fordney said Mr.. Mellon
would be recalled to discuss railroad
financing, with which four government
departments - the Treasury, War
Finance Corporation, Railroad Admin
istration and Interstate Commerce
Commssion-ha to do. 1t is ex-
pected, however, that the Secretary
will be questioned about some of the
revsions made in the original
mem orandum presented on Monday.
Nature Not Disclosed
The nature Of the changes has nos
bcen disclosed, but it is understood
that some additions have been made to
the original document following con
ferences among Treasury officials.
Republican members of tie commit
tee held two extended sessions, dis
cussing with DR. T. S. Adams, a Treas
ury tax expert, the grouping of various
administrative features of the bill and
other changes which would make for
simplifcation in determining taxes.
Chairman Fordney said some verv
helpful suggestions had been received
The extent to which the present law
is to be rewritten by the committee
remains to be determined, but if the
suggestions made by Treasury experts
are followed the old bill will be largely
rewritten. This probably would delay
its presentation to the House consider
fbly beyond the time heretofore ex.
pected.
To Study All Phases
Chairman Fordney and other mem
bers emphasize the magnitude OF the
task before the committee and they say
1t is proposed to go carefully into all
phases since the bill is expected to
stand for number of years Railroad
financing is only one of list Of sub
leets coming in, for careful study and
after the majority members have
agreed upon an approximate total of
the revenues needed next year they
still will have before them the tasking
of reaching an agreement as to what
tax changes are to be made.
Apparently the members now are
somewhat far apart as to the actual
amount Of taxes that it win be neces-
aary TO raise. Ii has been estimated
that the present law viii yield approx
imately S3,70o 100000 this fiscal year,
but revisions suggested would reduce
This total. All members of the com
mittee are not yet satisfied that this
can be done with safety
Since the Treasury suggestions for
new taxes were resented on Monday,
there has been evidence of an increas-
ing opposition to repeal OF the ex-
cess profits tax, bat apparently those
championing this change in the law
do not believe that this opposition
has reached such proportions as to
threaten defeat of the plan.
