who officially decreed that O'Callahan
could remain here as a seaman pending
the filing by his counsel of detailed
brief in an endeavor to establish that
the Lord Mayor was privileged to re-

The State Department last week
definitely ruled that O'Callahan's claim
for asylum here could not stand, be-
cause he failed to show that he was
being sought by any government and
thus was not entitled to be classified
as political refugee. The whole case
then was shifted to the Department OF
Labor, and Secretary Davis is expected

made within reasonable time.

ordered.

Mills attacks Sales Tax
Plan as In,practicable

Representative Ogden L. Mills told
an audience at the Sunday forum Of the
Church of the Ascension last night that
If Congress adopted a scheme for a
general sales tax it soon would be
found to be "administrativelv impossi-
Bile and economically unsound"
Mr.. Mills asserted that the readiust
ment OF the country's taxation was one
OF the most serious problems confront
ing the present admnstrat ton, since
the interest on war obligations called
for unprecedented funds from. taxpay-
ers and present business conditions re-
quire that money shall be raised by a

easy to enforce and not unduly bur
densome. He said he personally ia
vored repeal of the excess profits tax.
"The friends Of a general sales tax
look to it as affording a solution to the
problem" said Mr. Mills. "But if we
analyze the plan we soon find that it is
full of flaws. If we place tax on the
sales of commodities, excluding serv-
ices, it would mean that between
$700,000,000 and S800,O0OO in taxes
would be passed on to the shoulders of
persons who spend the major portion
OF their wages on consumable goods
If l per cent tax is made on gross
turnovers some corporations, which
make a turnover perhaps ten times a
year, would have to pay 10 per cent
while the corporation which makes only
two turnovers year would have tc
pay only per cent, although both cor.
porations might earn the same yearly
profits. This would be manifestly un-
fair Also it has been figured that 6

as to equal Is to 10 per cent on the ne,

Greek Factions
Here Celebrate
War Centenary
Constantine Adherents at
Manhattan Opera House,
Venizelists at Lexing-
ton, Extol Heroes of 1921

The two great factions Of the cti-
zens of Greece in this city, the loyal
lists and the revolutionists, were united
for the first time yesterday in purpose
when the Tooth anniversary of the
Greek war for independence was cele-
brated. The two bodies, however, did
not forget their present differences
long enough to celebrate the deeds of
the past together.
The rcvolutionists marked their day
OF celebration with mass meeting in
the afternoon ae the Lexington Opera
House, where many speakers recounted
the deeds in the long struggle for
Greek independence and told "a large
audience that the purposes Of the rev.
olution which was started in March,
1921, were thc same which their leader,
Premier Venizelos, champions to-day.
The loyalists concluded their day of
celebrating with a monster meeting at
the Manhattan Opera House, at which
the new Greek Minister, Alexander
Bouros, was the guest of honor.
Though disagrecing radically in re-
gard to present policies and leaders,
the two factions extol]ed the valor of
the same Greek leaders in the war of
1921. Such heroes as Kolokotronis,
Ypsilanti. Mavrokordatos and Miaulis
came in for equal honor at both meet
ings.
The Greek Minister, speaking at the
Manhattan Opera House, said that
the people in Greece were once more
united, as they had been at the out
break of the ten-year revolt in 1921,
in common cause.-the defeat of the
Turkish forces.
Greece" he said, (which has been
fighting since 1912, is now united and
animated by single purpose-to crush
the enemy in the Near East forever"
Other speakers included Theodore
Papayonupoulos, Greek Consul General
in New York, and George Chryssicos, a
lawyer and Greek citizen of promi-
nencc. A prayer of thanksgiving was
said by the Rev. Father Larezares, of
the Greek Church of the Anunciation.
Features on the program were a Greek
vocal chorus, exhibitions Of national
Greek dances and the showing of NOV
ing pictures of King Constantines re-
turn to Greece.
Large crowds were turned away from
both celebrations.

OCal]ahan Must Leave u. s.:
No Refugee, Government Holds

From The Tribunes Washington Bureau
W WASHINGTON. April 10.-Dchnite
decision that Donal O'Callahan, Lord
Mayor of Cork. must depart from the
United States within a reasonable time
is expected to be announced tomorrow
by the Department of Labor, with the
approval of the State Department.
The Irish official will be given the
privilege of leaving this country as a
seaman, the official classification given
him by former Secretary of Labor Will

mitted to ship foreign on any vessel on
which he can procure passage. and the
time of his departure. if he desires to
keep it secret, and his destination may

The decision to compel O'Callahan to
leave the country was based on the
view held by the government that he

entering this country without a prop

ernment O'Callahan's attorneys con-
tended that he was an employee on the

puts his foot down. And he may do
that very thing.
Tariff and taxation arc only two of
many problems before Congress. They
arc the ones that seem to be forem ost
in the minds Of every one. They have
been discussed more generally than
any of the others.
Congress is expected to do something
to reduce government expenses. About
the only places cuts Of any CONSEQUENCE
can be made are in the army and navy.
Both of these bills failed last session.
Some of the leaders are talking now
of cutting hundreds of millions off
both. Work on these measures will
start at once.
Discharging few government clerks
will not make much Of dent in a
$4,000. 100000 budget. TO date that is
about the only thing the Republican
leaders have suggested. Now they are
turning their attention to bigger fields.
Army. navy, pensions, soldier relief
and interest on the national debt are
the big items of government. The
oters are comparatively small.
Farm relief legislation is considered
of the utmost Importance. The emer-
gency tariff bill is a part of this, as
is the permanent bill. But the really
big item in the program for the
grangers will be authorization of CO
operative marketing. The farmers, it
is expected, will get more effective
help by legislation that will legalize
their new marketing plans than from
anything else proposed. Then there is
packer legislation. control of grain ex-
changes and rural credit.
The railroad question is up again,
apparently bigger than ever. Rates are
too high. Earnings are too low. SEN
ator Cummins will start an investiga-
ton in the Senate at once. 1t is prob
able the House Committee on Inter
state and Foreign Commerce will get
busy also.
immigration restriction is still un-
settled. Both House and Senate leaders
have agreed to take this subject up at
once. The Johnson Dillingham; bill will
be brought out in the House as soon as
the emergency and other minor tariff
bills are passed. Budget, soldier bonus,
reorganization of government depart
ments are among the other important
domestic matters before Congress.
While there has been much talk about
the part of Congress in making peace
with Germany, that subject will not
take much of the members time at the
outset. The Senate will fight over the
Colombian treaty for eight days. After
that the Foreign Relations Committee
probably will devote some time to the
Knox resolution to end the war. But
no serious attempt to pass such legis-
lation will be made in either branch un-
til President Harding gives the word.
