Conditions in Europe consid-
cred Favorable to Take
Up Collection Steps.
BY GEORGE II. HOLMES,
international News Service.

Conditions in Europe generally
are on the mend. and the Admins
tration regards the present as
favorable time to inaugurate fund
ing negotiations with the European
countries that owe the United
States approximately 1000, 900, 900,
Treasury officials announced today.
Secretary of the Treasury Mel
Ion, who is chairman of the Amerl'
can Funding COMMISSION of Five
composed of Secretary of State
hughes, Secretary of Commerce
Hoover, Senator Smoot of Utah,
and Congressman Burton of Ohio,
today said it was hoped to have
the funding negotiations far ad.
vanced by autumn.
By October, the next semi.annual
interest date, the Administration
hopes TO have completed the fund
ing arrangements with the heaviest
debtors-Great Britain, France and
Italy, who between them owe ap.
proximately $4,000. 900 900. Negotia-
tons will be begun with Great

President Harding obliged. He sent
a letter to the chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee and the House Ways
and Means Committee and told them he
could suggest no commendable method
of meeting the bonus save by a general
sales tax. He said any bonus legisla-
ton should provide its own financing,
implying he would veto legislation with
out such financial provision. His sug-
gestion was the obvious one, the last
tax left.
Why hadn't the House Republican
Committeeman suggested sales tax in
the first place? Some say it was because
in their hearts they didn't want the
bonus to pass So they linked it with
taxes sure to be unpopular, hoping that
the avalanche of popular disapproval
would bury the bonus, too.
Possibly. More likely the sales tax
was not mentioned by the Republicans
because they knew the opposition it
would meet Presented as an element
of our general taxation scheme last fall,
the sales tax had failed in both House
and Senate. Since then it has been a
bette noir of the agricultural bloc, which
in the Senate comes close to holding the
balance of power.

PRINCESS MARY, TAKING IN GIFTS, MAKES 10 SPEECHES
Who Will Pay the Proposed Federal Sales Tax?

The bloc resented the recent repeal
of the excess profits tax and reduction
of the high rate of the personal income
tax. They see in the general sales tax
an attempt to replace the old levies on
capital by direct taxation on consumers.
The bloc is mistaken. The sales tax
doesn't work that way.
The House Committee on Ways and
Means will finally report general sales
tax. It's. social justice, likewise its
chance of passing Congress, depends on
the question: On whom will the sales
tax fall? q
The per capita amount of the tax is
perfectly clear. It will be $500, 000, 900.
We are 1O0,000,0O0 people. So 81 per
person must be collected by the taxation
from somebody. No getting around that.
In the first instance, the people will
not pay the sales tax. It is to be col
lected from the manufacturer. Will it
be passed on to the consumer in the
form of higher prices? That is the vital
question. To decide it requires an ex-
animation of the nature of the proposed
tax and the channels whereby commodi-
ties are distributed. Tomorrow we shall
make this examination.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1922-02-24

particular time the Government re-
funding operations render new Federal
bond issues undesirable.
Therefore, the only possibility was to
choose some new form of taxation. The
choice lay between (1) a general sales
tax, such as in force in Canada, and (2)
a new set of nuisance consumption
taxes. New nuisance taxes were de-
cided upon by the Republican members
of the House Ways and Means Commit
tee, which has the duty of framing new
revenue bills.
The taxes chosen were rather heavy
levies laid upon gasoline, automobiles,
cigarettes and tobacco, amusement
tickets, real estate sales, stock and bond
transfers. A storm of protest from the
country, which saw nuisance taxes of
the most offensive sort returning, inun-
dated the Republican leaders
They threw up their hands and asked
the President for help. Had he not par
ticipated in the Republican campaign

were with bonus to pay and could
find no money to pay it with. Would he
kindly conjure up cloud by day and
pillar of fire by night, to lead them out
of the wilderness?
