UNITED STATES PROTESTS
AGAINST DtscRtMlNAr
scRiMINATloN

WASHINGTON, April 29-.'The solu-
tion Of the future oil problems through
out the world" lies in the application 10
the principle Of equal opportunity for the
nations of ALI countries, the state depart-
ment says in a note transmitted ApriI
lS to the foreign office OF the Neither
lands and made public here today.
The note referred especially to condi-
tions in the Djambi fields in the Neither
land East Indies and said that .'respons
ible and experienced American interests
are ready and desirous to cooperate with
the Netherlands government" in oil de-
velopment there.
In transmitting the note, William
Phillips, American minister at The Hague
said:
My government finds no alternative
than the adoption of the principle of
equally good opportunity with the pro
viso that no foreign capital may operate
IN public lands unless it's government
accords similar or like privileges &c
American citizens"
The note is in the nature of a protest
against the granting of a monopoly for
the development of the Djambi fields in
the Dutch East Indies TO a company ..in
winch 1oIelEh cdpitai oLner Ihan Anneri-
can is so largely interested"
My government says Mr.. PhiIiips
attaches the highest Importance to the
recognition of the principles of the reci-
procity and unusual opportunity in the
solution of the oil problem, as well as
the extension to American capital or,
ganized under Dutch law OF the same
privileges and benefits which are granted
to other foreign capital similarly or
ganized under the laws of the Neither
lands"
Presentation of the note followed in
formal conference between Mr.. Phillips
and the Dutch government extending
over a period of IL months and having
to do with the efforts Of American capt
tai to obtain a concession in the Sumatra
oil region. The Standard Oil Company
had submitted a bid for concession in
that region.

Bill introduced
For Equalizer of
Taxes Of State
Object Is to Bring About Uni
formity of Taxes Through
out State of Florida.
lRx JOHN C. TRlcEl

TALLAHASSEE, April Ex-senator
Butler introduced his bill for a state
equalizer of taxes in the senate Fri
day afternoon and passed resolution
ordering 200 copies of the bill printed
for the use of the senate. Senator
Butler said in offering the bill that
it was the administration measure. 1t
is said to be the product of the joint
finance and taxation committee of the
house and senate.
The two committees held a meeting
in the governors office last night at
which the details of the bill were set
tied on. The governors message, it
viii be recalled, expressed the idea
that there could not be uniform tax
alton of property as between the va
rious counties unless there was vested
in some state body the power to equal
ize and also said that if all the prop
erty that should pay taxes was on the
books the millage could be materially
cut.
The bill provides for a state equal
izer who shall have power to scrutinize
the county tax rolls and to raise or
lower the valuations so as to bring
about uniformity as far as possible
throughout the state. Appeal from him
may be made by county commissioners
to the state board of equalization, COM
posed of the governor, attorney gen
eral and treasurer. whose action shall
be final. Railroad, telegraph and Pull
man property shall be assessed by the
comptroller as now at the average rate
paid by other property.

Still HOPEFUL In AMERICA THAT
PREPARATIONS CONTROVERSY CAN BE
SETTLED SATISFACTORILY TO ALL
Whole Situation Is Discussed
By President Harding
and His Cabinet.
tey The Associated Press. }

WASHINGTON, April 29.-The Ameri-
can government still is hopeful that the
reparations controversy between Ger
many and the allies can be settled by
discussion.
This was learned authoritatively to
night after the whole situation had heeu
discussed by President Harding and his
cabinet and Secretary Hughes had con
ferred with ]. Jules Jusserand. French
ambassador and Rolando Ricci. the Ital-
ian ambassador.
Upon what administration officials
based their hopefuness was not dis
closed, as they continued to maintain alb
the informal exchanges with the allied
governments and also as to the views
Of tls United States on the proposals. It
became known, however, that neither
Great Britain nor Italy had finally re-
jected as a basis for possible discussion
the German offer.
France and Belgium were understood
to hold that the proposals as such were
unacceptable, but apparently their in
formal replies to Mr.. Hughes were of
such a character as to cause officials
here to believe that the door had not
been closed to furJner consideration of
a settlement by discussion.
The impression gained ground here to-
night that the next formal move in the
controversy would await the outcome CT
the meeting at London tomorrow of the
allied supreme council
State department officers refused TO
say today whether the United States
would have an unofficial observer at the
meeting of the supreme council. This
was after there had been some unoffi-
cial suggestions that Roland w. Boy
den, who formerly represented this coun-
try on the reparations commission might
be authorized at his request to sit in at
the meetings.
The chief problem in the whole con-
troversy, in the view here, is to deter
mine how much Germany can pay and
make her pay the balance of the sum.
The United States made it's position in
this respect perfectly clear to Germany
in its last memorandum to that govern
ment. On the other hand. it is explained
that anything that would prevent Ger
many's recuperation and the taking of
her proper place in the economic world
is to be guarded against.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-In spirit
ed debate the senate today proceeded
toward the vote on the Knox peace
resolution arranged for late tomorrow
with both friends and foes conceding

Opponents of the resolution predom
mated again in today's discussion
which also developed a break in the
democratic ranks when Senator Reed
of Missouri, made a lengthy address in
support of the resolution It was at
tackled by Senators Hitchcock of Ne
braska, senior democrat on the foreign
relations committee: McKeller, demo-
crat, Tennessee: Robinson, democrat
Arkansas. and supported by Senators
Borah, Idaho: Kellogg of Minnesota:
Mccormick, Illinois, and other repub-
licans.
During debate Senator Pomerene,
democrat Ohio, filed a minority re-
port signed by ais present democratic
members of the foreign relations COM
mittee, predicting that the resolution
would prove a disappointment" and
asserting that it was an attempt to
usurp 'the presidents treaty making
powers"
In the final debate tomorrow, Sena-
tor Lodge, of Massachusetts, republi
can leader, and Senators Borah and
Mccormick are scheduled to speak in
support of the resolution. while Sena

Appeal Is to Be Made to Presi

fax The Associated Pres,.)

WASHINGTON April ga general
tie-up OF all shipping at American
ports except on the Great Lakes on
May / appeared imminent tonight af-
ter negotiations between the shipping
board. steamship owners and marine
workers had been abandoned as a re-
suit OF the refusal OF the employees to
accept a 10 per cent wage reduction.
A last effort to avert final breach
between the employers and marine
workers was made late today when
Chairman Benson of the shipping board
and representatives OF the marine
unions called separately at the white
house to lay their case before the
president. Previously the chairman and
the ship owners had rejected, a pro-
posal by Andrew Furuseth, president
OF the International Seamen's union.
to submit the whole question to Pres
ident Harding for arbitration.
Chairman Benson declined to discuss
his visit at the white house but the
union representatives in the absence Of
tho president. left a report and a
prayer" in behalf of all the workers
submitting tho matter to him. They
later announced that they would return
to the white house tomorrow in an eff
fort to see the president in person
The union representatives also called
on Secretary Hoover, but received,
they said, no assurances of action on
his part.
The break in negotiations came after
a final conference called by Chairman
Benson, to consider new wage and
working agreements. The chairman's
proposal for 15 per cent wage cut
was rejected for the engineers on the
ground that IL was not Justified by liv-
ing costs or necessary as an economy
in operating expenses. III. p. Griffin
for the cooks and stewards, declared
that the proposed wage cut was a

that certain conditions would be made
