ION behalf of the religious ar@ po-
litical minority in Belfast, forming
10 900 citizens, We protest against
the misleading and lying statements
contained in the telegram addr- II
by Craig CSir James Craig, Ulster
Premer) to the Premier of England,
in which he states that the recent nu-
merous atrocities to which our people
have been subjected were the outcome
of the raids in Tyrone and Ferman-
agh and the affray at the Clones
Station.
1--WE assert that it can easily be
proved our people were being muir
derd almost daily for a week before
either of tine occurrences mentioned.
Furthermore, we are convinced that
Craig deliberately made this misrep-
resentation for the purpose of excus-
ing or iustifying the cruel and cold

minority in this city, on whose be-
half we speak"

Its multitude of lives is dead again.
Whether it will bob UP once more
depends upon the agricultural bloc,
but tho agriculturists, who have
from tho first opposed sales tax as
a means of raising revenue, are not
likely to accept IL as tho best way to
pay the bonus. Mr.. Harding doesn't
balieye a sales tax can pas '1Jns ass
he fe,lrei as nlucrT IN his lettei : >
Mr. Fordney. A canvass Of tho House
on previous occasions indicated that
the sales tax didn't have more than
eighty votes. and the strength of the
proponents of the scheme is not any
greater to-day than it was.
Few men in Congress or in the
Treasury Department could to-dny
give a definite answer to what is
meant by a sales tax" Here are
the various proposals:
First, a general tax on manu-
facturcrs and producers collected
at the source, but admittedly
passed on to the retailer and fin
ally the consumer.
Second, a tax on retail sales
only-also passed on to the con-
sumner.
Third, u turn over tax on all
things, being a tax Of a small per
cent. on gross receipts. This
also would be passed on TO the
consumer to pay.
Fourth, u tax on well defined
list of commodities. This would
be reflected in the final prices of
goods bought by tho consumer
Many advocates of a sales tax
make no bones about what they mean
by u sales tax and they frankly cali
1t n Consumption tax"
Small chance of the agricultural
bloc agreeing to a tax which might.
mean more taxes on the produce OF
the farm and a higher cost to the
farmer on the things he must buy fer
his farm and family.
dent has proposed a solution which
means postponement Of the bonus
payments. The sales tax canrot
gather enough votes - pass Congress
unless all other taxes are repealed!
and the whole revenue bill is revised.
As a substitute for al taxes it had
many friends. AS an additionu!
means of taxation, especially in the
m!ust Of a business year fraugnr
with so much uncer' ainty anyhow,
the chances are ConErC IS will accept
President Harding's trmula--a sales
tax will be proposed and shelved and
the bonus will be postponed.
The certainty of Presidential veto
of any bill providing for direct taxes
or a revival of taxes already repeated
oil for bond issue has changed the
whole situation. Congress hasn' t
wanted TO pass bonus bill. Political
pressure from the soldier vote stirred

ing man. he would not give up when
