facts may be stated. Crop reports, ac-
cording to another rule, may be given
publicity only when complied by ac-
credited crop experts; further, that
those wishing to qualify as such ex-
perts shall register their names in the
Secretary's office and pass an examina-
ton before they can be duly approved.
After such registration and approval,
crop reporters will be permitted to
compile the results of their investiga-
tons; to make public information rela-
tive to crop conditions when the re-
ports are sufficiently comprehensive to
indicate the general situation.
Circulation in any manner whatso-
ever by members of the board, of crop
reports from other sources that are not
official, is a violation Of the rules,
and any member found guilty of such
action may be brought before the board
of directors for 'censure. Thus the pub
lie is always protected against crop
"rcorbacks."

Vienna Diplomats

British section of the separations

Paris, who is invetigatipg conditions

Not only has Austria been unable
to bear the expense of the three large
commissions maintained in Vienna by
Britain" saiy Ward Price, "but there
is every chance that the $4,000 900
advanced by Great Britain to Austria
will never be repaid.
The chief of these expensive COM

Despite the misery visible through

had some years ago defined Income"
as gain derived from capital from
labor or from both combined" It had
more recently and under an exercise
Of congressional power conferred by
the 18th amendment, adhered to that
definition with what may be called
added emphasis: Income may be defin-
ed as gain derived from capital, from

it be understood to include profit gained
through sale or conversion of capital

These definitions are now merely re-
affirmed. Capital or capital assets"

sets remain untaxable as income. It
| is not true, as seems to be here and
there inferred, that these decisions
enable the government to hang around
a bit of capital and pounce upon any
increase in its value with an income
tax the moment an increase appears.
| But when the owner proceeds to cash
| in or realize on this EXCHANGED value
then there arises a gain derived from
capital which is taxable as income
| This is all there is to the decisions
| They add nothing to the governments
revenues and they take nothing away.
But if they had been otherwise, the

| law over many years would have been
thrown into chaos and another defin-

| make gains from capital sometimes in
come and sometimes not. while gains
from labor would always be income.
| 1t is bad enough that income from labor
should bear the same tax rate as in

French Export Plans.

FROM the I'aCIle REVIEW.
The problem of how to finance ex-
ports is still unsolved in this country.
1t is also a problem in other countries.
and from the Fortnightly Survey of
French Economic Conditions we learn
that the Napoleon Bank of Foreign Com
merce. in Paris. has organized a spe-
cial department which will deal with
the granting of credits to exporters.
These credits are restricted to certain
countries namely: Poland, Czecho- Slo-
vakia, Jugo- Slavia, Rumana, Bulgaria,
Turkey and Italy.
Under this arrangement, the foreign
buyer deposits with his local desig-
mated bank. certain securities or mort
cages or titles (pledged with the bank
as security for eventual payment Of the
debtl and accepts drafts of the French
exporter. Advances are to be made up
to so per cent. of the value of the
goods exported.
The maximum time limit of these ad-
vances will be three years. Three
months notes. renewable until the due
date Of credit, are subscribed by the
exporter to the order of the bank and
Immediately discounted by the latter for
the exporter. The rate of discount is
to be the official rate Of the Bank OF
France, increased slightly by quarter
ly commission. The notes, which win
bear two French signatures, will be dis
countable at tie Bank of France. The
guarantee of the state is in the form
of an inscription on the draft or BILL
showing that it has been allowed under
the law authorizing the states endorse
ment of such bills.
The security. then, would be the re-
sponsibility of the foreign buyer, the
collateral which he deposits with his
local bank. the responsibility of the To-
cal foreign bank. the liability of the ex-
porter and his bank, and the guarantee
of the French government.
