A second difficulty is Germany.
France has collected practically moth
ing from Germany in two and one half
years for reparations. AS her expen-
ditures for pensions had to be made
she has had to borrow Our debt in
terest absorbs nearly So per cent Of
our total revenues and as we would be
obliged TO continue borrowing so long
as Germany fails to pay, ii is possible
that in five years our debt interest will
total 40 to IS per cent Of our total
resources.
Will Explain In Detail
Parmentier will give the American
committee all the details of this situa-
ton. He also will dispel an illusion
that exists IN certain uarters concern
ing our fiscal policy. He will demon
strate that careful examination will
show that the French taxpayer is more
burdened than the American
My calculations show that consump-
ton taxes take 10 per cent of every
FrenchmaD's income on the average,
while. in America, it totals only 80
per cent. AS for the income tax, the
following example is significant: On
an income of 5000 francs the French
taxpayer pays, according to the city
where he lives from, 60 to 120 francs.
while on a salary of $780, practically
the equivalent. the American pays moth
ing. On 25.OOO francs, the Frenchman
pays ZIG francs and the American
nothing on an equivalent income. On

10000 the Frenchman pays. according
to how he gets his money, from q to
81 per cent. The American pays Is
to II per cent at the most
For bigger incomes. like 1000, 900
francs. we tax from 73 to SO per cent
when the revenue is from stocks, while
in the United States it is only 30 or
at the most 81 per cent
Higher Taxes Than U. S.
We may conclude that the mass of
the French taxpayers pay more than
American taxpayers. Your figures do
not compare with ours until you get
above one million dollar incomes. and
in France there are not more than 100
men with that sort of income.
My own conclusion is that the
Frenchman pays about three times on
an average what an American pays.
You may reply that doesn't alter the
fact that France owes the American
treasury $4,000, 100000 You're right.
But the preceding figures may shed
some light on the problem which the
committee faces.

mittee of anthracite operators and the
remainder are the operators selected

the bituminous field.

ence that federation, fairness, the
spirit to give and take and finally a
sense of the larger obligations to the
public are essential to successful con-

Coupled with his appeal and admoni-

is the first and highest concern.

full of the warning given by President

that unless they were able to reach
settlement of the strike, ''the servants
