SENTIMENT IN COMMITTEE FA-
voRs PRESENT scALE.-HAvE
NOT FIXED NEW SOURCE.
CONFERENCE ON REVENUE
Congressmen Predict Deletion Trans
portation Taxes.-Luxury Duties
May Remain same.-slieht
Relief Expected.

Washington.-Rep of the
house ways and means committee
have conferred for development of
views ON tax revision. Many diver
gent opinions were developed, but no
conclusions were reached.
Emphasizing that he was speaking
solely for himself Chairman Fordney
said afterwards that the goal toward
which he would strive would be a cut
of half billion dollars in the tax bill
next year. His opinion was that by
the exercise of rigid economy the gov
ernment could be operated for three
and a half billion dollars in 1922 in
stead of the four billions estimated by
the treasury.
Practically all members of the COM
mittee are in sympathy with the repeol
Of the transportation taxes, both pas
senger and freight, but they have not
yet fixed upon a new source of reve-
nue. to offset the loss of $3.50, 900, 900 to
the treasury that this would involve.
Chairman Fordneys idea is that if
shO hSPSUA VA thO WAOiC 10 lOunu
practicable start might be made by
cutting them in half next year and
eliminating the balance the year fol-
lowing. Representative Longworth of
Ohio, republican, has before the COM
mittee provision proposing a
straight out repeal.
While committee republicans-and
they will frame the tariff bill-have
reached no definite decisions on the
proposed revisions, 1t appears to be
fairly well established that there will
be alterations in fao normal rates
On individual incomes or in the amount
If exemptions allowed. There prob
ably will be some shifting of the tax
burdens and Mr.. Fordney is of the be-
lief that some new sources of taxation
will be found.

BYRNES TELLS PRESIDENT HE
HAS BEEN MlsLED BY oFFI-
GALS MAKING REPORT.
BYRNE'S WRITES PRESIDENT P
South CaroIinian, In Letter to Hard
ing, Says White House Statement
Created False Impression
and Harmed South.

on-Representative Byrnes
of South Carolina asked President
Harding in letter to take "appropri.
ate action toward officials who, by
misrepresenting conditions, rlisled you
into making the statement that parts
of the south were actually meanaced
with famine and plague"
Mr.. Byrnes' letter was in reply to
the president letter in which Mr.
Harding said that if investigation de.
veloped that reports had misrepresent.
ed conditions official refutation would
be desirable
The text of Mr.. Byrnes' letter to the
president follows:
Il wish to thank you very much for
your letter of July 2S. agree that it
Is highly desirable that the bureau of
public health service should continue
Its Investigations as to pellagra, and
know that congress appropriated for
this fiscal year 100000 to enable the
service to investigate the disease of
man. the representatives of the health
service advising our appropriations
committee that out OF this sum they
would continue their pellagra investi-
cations. And there is no objection to
the special investigation which you
have directed the health service to
misled in statements in your letter to
ident, and what believe the people OF
the south regret, is that before such
an investigation was made, you were
the president of the Red Cross.
Coming from the president Of the
United States, this statement has com
naAded attention and has been pub.
lished in practically every newspaper
in this country, and doubtless in the
press of other nations. 1t is to these
statements that we take exception We
may be over-sensitive, but the average
American dislikes to have placed in
front of his doors flag indicating the
presence of plague, when as matter
of fact there exists within his home
nothing to justify that characterize
tion. And, likewise, where there is no
famine he dislikes to be held up as the
object of charity and compared with
the 'unfortunates Of other lands for
the relif of whose starvation and dis
ease our people have so generously
contributed"

FEDERATION OF BRITISH INDUS

Suggested.

London.-British manufacturers are
seriously concerned over the prospect
of sweeping increase In the Ameri-
can tariff. Guy Locock, director in
the Federation of British Industries,
the largest organization of the kind in
Great Britain, in an interview with
the World correspondent declared that
he voiced the opinion of the federation
in saying that the world would be un-
able to discharge its debts to the
United States if the tariff were placed
too high.
"The federation fully recognizes"
he said, that the policy of the United
States can be shaped only by the
United States. At the same time there

view of the fact that trade and COM
merce are international in nature, and
that any step taken by one country in
evitably reacts upon the whole fabric
of International trade. feel that
frank and friendly discussion of any
difficulties that may arise in any coun-
try should not be resented, and it may
be productive of good, especially at
time when the world is suffering from
dislocation of trade.
"The United States has efficiently
built up an extensive export trade. AS
result, the rest of the world must,
in some manner or other. pay to the
United States the debts owed to that
country and must also pay for goods
imported from that country.
There is only one way in which
this can be done. ana snat Is BY pay
ment in kind"
