Washington, AHg. 1G.-An official
statement explaining the administra-

"the aim was TO establish methods
that would raise the needed revenue
within reasonable certainty, make
collections sure and inexpensive and

"It is felt that highly important
progress has been made along these
lines" the statement says, adding:
"There has been no effort to relieve
the rich of their share Of burdens, but
rather to insure that no class will be
left an avenue Of escape from these.
A casual analysis Of the proposals
shows that what may be described as
the rich mans taxes will produce
about 81 ,SOOOOO,OOO, while the balance
will be distributed over the entire
community, rich and poor.
"The reduction TO 81 per cent of the
highest income and surtaX brackets
is expected by the experts to produce
actually more revenue from theSe

Move to Boost Exports as
Farmers Relief.

plan to concentrate the banking
resources Of Southern financial insti-
tutions to expedite the sale and
movement Of cotton to foreign coun-
tries was formulated and tentatively
endorsed today at a conference be-
tween a select committee of the
Southern Bankers Association and
officials of the War Finance Corpora
ton.
Eugene Meyer. managing director
of the finance corporation, announced
after the session with the bankers
that substantial progress has been
made toward lifting the credit bar
riers from the cotton growers. The
way has been paved, II was said, for
definite launching of projects to pro-
vide credit for cotton exports.
One OF the chief proposals discussed,
and which will form the basis of fur
ther conferences among the bankers
when they return to their respective
districts tomorrow, contemplates the
pooling of funds to finance the crea-
tion OF an export association to op-
crate through the Federal Export
Corporation of New Orleans, recently
organized.
The general outline Of the pooling
arrangement provides that Southern
bankers shall assess themselves sums
based upon the number Of bales OF
cotton produced in their respective
states, and with the funds so raised
organize an export association, whose
managers could open up the cotton
trade channels between the United
states and Germany. Poland, Austria,
and other foreign countries in need

UPH0LDS FARMERS
RIGHT TOORGAN|zE
Secretary Wallace, in Chicago
Address, Says Purpose Can.
y not Be Questioned.

CHICAGO, April 6.-The right OF
farmers TO organize themselves into
Associations for the pur-
pose Of marketing their crops can not
be questioned so long rs they observe
the requirements of the law. Secre-
tary OF Agriculture Henry c. wallace
declared here today in an address e
fore the Farmers Grain Marketing
Committee Of Seventeen.
"a denial Of this right Secretary
Wallace said, "would result in reduc-
ing the free farmers Of the United
States to a condition comparable with
the down-trodden peasants or poems
Of less enlightened countries, and
would bring upon us all the griefs
which those countries are bearing"
The Secretary discussed the reis-
tion of the Department of Agricui
ture to the farmer. pointing out that
"there is just As much reason why
the department should assist the
farmer in developing methods OF
marketing his crops efficiently as
that 1t should assist him in incress.
ing his production"
The farmers were warned not 10
lose their heads in the midst OF
present unsettled conditions and
the secretary told them that 'as large
producers you have been the best in
the world, but as salesmen you have
been very, very poor"

SUPPLY OF GOLD
Official Concern Felt Over Large
Surplus Stocks PiIing
Up Here.

For the hrst time in history. onicia.
concern Is felt over the large surplus
stocks OF gold now piling up in the
United States. From all parts Cof the
world gold shipments are pouring in
to American ports and reaching Fed. /.
eral Reserve Banks, thus increasing
their gold reserves and strengthening
tho value of Federal reserve nots.
Officials of the Treasury and Fed
eral Reserve Board today reviewed
latest figures showing that the United
States has "cornered" more than one
third Of the entire worlds stock of
gold, and Is rapidly increasing the
present stocks by the inflow Of gold
from other countries in settlement Of
goods bought in the United States.
The United States now has approx
imately $4,000, 900 in gold, half of
which Is held by the Federal Reserve
Banks. In the FIRST three months this
year the gold imports have amounted
to $133. .303. .4S9, while gold exports
have amounted to only $4,340,SS
France and Great Britain have made
the heaviest shipments to this cour-
try.
The breakdown in some foreign
markets whose commodities are not
now salable in the United States is
partly an explanation for the heavy
increase in the favorable gold bal :
ance against the world.

Summoned to q six-alarm banquet

OF the most spectacular and enjoyable

dental Hotel. Detective Sergeants Ar
thur Scrivener, wearer of The Wash
fngton Times police hero metal, and
Edward J. Kelley also responded to
the alarm and rendered valiant ser
vice in helping subdue the feast.
Upon their arrival at the popular
downtown hostelry, the fire laddies,
led by Captain Sullivan, found the
main dining room ablaze with light
from many chandeliers, and the
atmosphere heavy with aromatic
clouds rising from smouldering squab,
chicken. lobster and other delicacies.
After giving three rousing cheers for
Frank Neuman, winner of The WASH
tngton Times Firemen's Hero Medal,
who has resigned from the fire de-
partment, the blue-coated flame fight
ers attacked the sumptuous feast
with vim and vigor.
SENDS OUT RESERVES.
On several occasions, when waiter
after waiter rushed into the dining
room with groaning trays, heavily
freighted with choice viands, it looked
asif the banquet would get beyond
the gastronomic control of Captain
Sullivan and his crew. At one stage
of the proceedings the situation was
20 threatening that Lieutenant Bishop
was ordered to report at the Occiden-
tai with ten additional men to help
get the nosebag party completely in
hand. Bishop and his associates re-
sponded promptly. and with their all
the banquet was extinguished.
Gus Buchholz gave the banquet in
honor of Hero Neuman and Hero
