FOUR power TREATY
WILL Be RATIFIED,
CALDER PREDICTION
tBy Associated Press)


ate of the four-power treaty relative to
insular possessions in the Pacific, was
predicted by Senator Calder in an adj
dress before the Rotary club here to-
day. He said, however that amends
ments or reservations to the pact
might possibly be made before consid-
Grafton of it in the upper house of con-
gress was completed.
Briefly outlining the problem now
tefore congress and the administra-
ton he declared reduction of the an
nual cost of government below $780,
600, 900 would be gigantic task" uni
I'll the country's war debt was liquidat-
ed. He said he favored an adjustment
of the debt owed this country by for
eign nations, but added:
Cannot Pay Now
ut is impossible to expect these ma
tons to pay at once, and to attempt to
force them to do so would not only
fail of the purpose, but would encour-
age an unfriendly relationship which
would be entirely unnecessary, and
which probably would not be overcome
in many years"
Provisions of the new revenue act
were defended by the senator who
said its primary purpose was to com
pei economy of expenditure. He re
marked this was not time 10 impose |
new and additional taxes. but one in
which the burden should be lightenef !
as much as possible. After reviewing |
the provisions of the law re de !
clared:
Question of Honesty.
| In the light of experience the issue |
=,
| ton of honesty-shall we adopt taxes !
which can be enforced or shall we
continue tax laws which pretend to !
! do what they can not do. In my opin- /
| ion there was no escape from the con- !
clusion that the excess profits tax
should be repealed Immediately and
| the excessive surtaxes reduced just as
rapidly as the public opinion will per-
nit I make no concealment of my
/ personal opinion that the retention of
the excess profits tax for 1921 and
| the failure to make more sweeping re.
auctions in the surtaX rates are mis-
! takes.
