CRISIS IN ITALY,:
CABINET S0UT
Ministry Deserted by
Democrats, Finds It's
Hold Too Slippery.
CONTINUED on Page Two)

Rome, Feb. 2.-(By The Associated
Press) s).-Premier Eonini announced
the resignation Of the cabinet in the
chamber Of deputies Thursday after
noon. 1t took office last July.
The cabinet council met Thursday
to discuss the situation created by the
attitude of the parliament, says the
Stefani agency, and, as result, the
governments decision to resign was
accepted
The ministry found itself in a pre-
carious situation as it faced the con-
vening of parliament. The democrats.
| upon whom the government had count
ed for 80 votes, had passed to the
opposition over night, while the
fascist and the nationalists maintain
ed their strong opposition. The Cathol-
lc party remained firm for Premier
Bonini, however, MS did also his own
small group Of reformed socialists.
PapaI LeanInas Involved
Causes which combined to induce the
majority in the chamber to withdraw
its support from the Bonomi govern
ment were of both foreign and domes-
tic origin. Many deputies had expressed
disappointment over failure of the
Italian arms delegates to have Italy
included in the four-power Pacific
treaty and there was disappointment
over Italy's being excluded from the
Anglo-French treaty drafted during
the meeting of the supreme council at
Cannes.
There also were expressions of dis
satisfaction over the official recogni-
ton Of the death Of Pope Benedict XIV,
through the visit Of Minister Of Agri-
ronsh fpars Maur hs t. G Vatican at 9a.s and
public buildings. The position taken BY
the government recently during the
financial difficulties Of the Banca Ital-
lana di Sconto also was severely
criticised,

Tax Sources and Amounts

Tax Sources and Amounts
After the committee had conferred
with Secretary Mellon regarding the
bill, Chairman Fordney said action
would be deferred until he could con-
slider the proposed five way adjust
ed compensation plan, because the rev.
emu from that source is problematical.
These estimates of revenue from
special sources were suggested by the
secretary:
One cent increase in first class post
age S70,0OO,OOO.
Increased second class postage to
wipe out deficits in that branch of the
postoffice department, $4,000, 600.
Increased cigarette tax, the increase
amounting to so cents on one thousand,
So. 900, 900.
Increased tobacco tax, . cents a
pound. $5,00O,00O.
Increased documentary stamp taxes,
S4O,000,000.
A tax of 2 cents on each bank check,
30,0OO,OW.
a license tax of so cents horse
power on automobiles 100000, 600.
The total estimated return from
these taxes was S300,0OO.00O Mr..
Mellon said the bonus would cost
S425 600, 900 a year for the first two
years and told the committee that it
could extend the list of taxable sources
to make up the deficiency. He made
it clear that he was not recommend
ing any of the taxes suggested.
The treasury secretary opposed a
general sales tax on the ground of the
cost and difficulty of administration.
Opposes Consumption Taxes
The secretary called attention that
there had been suggested consumption
taxes on coffee, tea. sugar and other
articles and tax on gasoline. but he
did not approve such taxes.
As to the use Of any part of the
proceeds from the foreign debt, the

jury has been out nearly 80 hours. It

Some courtroom speculations said
that the alignment stood to for ac-

was 8 to 4 in favor Of the defendant.
In the absence of any inkling of in
formation from. the well-guarded jury
room. these guesaes had no more
weight than the idlest speculation.
Milton T. Cohen of Los Angeles. a

Berlin, Feb 2.-{By The Associat-

Underground Traffic Heavy
Owing to, the abandonment of the

Some of the passengers were unable
to get off at their stations and had TO

which is alleged to have been handed
to the government in the midst of the
negotiations, demanded wage increases
of from so to 20 per cent for officials
and from 4S to 73 per cent for the men.
Would Swell Wage Budget
The increases, if granted, would en-
tail a total annual budget increase of

prolonged negotiations to an end.
Three concessions were announced
by Baron Shidehara, one relating to
group and the others to the situation
in Manchuria and Mongolia. Japan was
ready, he said, to withdraw the reser-
vation attached to the japanese Chi
nese treaty of 1915, under which she
retained the right to press further in
the future the unaccepted group 5. One
Of the other concessions viii open up
south Manchuria and eastern inner
Mongolia to, the international consor-
tium and the other asserts Japan has
no intention of insisting that Japanese
advisers be employed in these territor-
les in political, financial, military or
police matters.
The famous group 5, thus cast into
the discard, after it had been the cen
ter of the 'demands' controversy for
six years, would have required China
to employ japanese political, financial
and military advisers in her central
government, give to Japan the right to
jointly police with China certain i'm

and grant to Japan important mining
and railroad concessions. These re-

Last Topic on Agenda
Consideration of the "twenty-one de-
mands, the last topic remaining on the
far eastern agenda began in the far
eastern committee after hope Of an ad-
justment of the Chinese Eastern rail-
way situation had been abandoned and
resolution adopted merely declaring
arrangements for better protection
of the road should be worked out in
the near future through diplomatic
channels. The powers other than Chi
ma appended joint declaration of Chi
mas responsibility for fulfillment of
her obligations to foreign stockholders
of the road.
Japan's statement on the demands"
was presented by Baron Shidehara,
who argued that the Chinese request
for abrogation of the treaties and
agreements resulting from the 1915
program could not be supported by a
plea of invalidity, because the agree
ments made were entered into by
China in the exercise of her powers as
sovereign state. To question treaties
because they were made under duress,
he said. would be to challenge the val
idity of many of the most important
existing international concords through
out the world. He excused the deiiv-
cry Of an ultimatum to China, just be-
fore her partial acceptance of the "de-

IRISH ARE SPLIT
ON BOUNDARY
Serious Situation Owe,
Ulster Arises in Con-
ference of Envoys.

Dublin, Feb. 2.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press.)-A serious situation
has arisen over the boundary ques-
tIon between Ulster and south
ireland II was stated officially
Thursday as a result of the days
conference between Sir James
Craig, premier of Ulster, and
Michael Collins, head of the new
Irish provisional government.
They met to confer on various I'M
portant questions affecting the
two present divisions of Ireland.
Premier Craig was accompanied
by his secretary, Lieut.. Col. w.
B. Spencer. Following the meet
Ing Sir James will proceed to Lon
don.
When a statement was issued
later It showed that Premier
Craig and Mr.. Collins had been
unable to reach an agreement on
the boundary question, causing the
situation in this respect to assume
a serious look.
There is still a possibility that
Craig and Collins will resume their
conference. No definite arrange
ment, however, has been made as
yet for further discussions. 1t Is
said Sir James Craig intends to
consult vIscount Fitz.Alan, form.
er viceroy, on the situation.
Apparently the boundary ques-
tion was almost the only matter
discussed. There Is nothing to
Indicate that the Londonderry
prisoners will be released and the
provisional government has receiv-
cd no assurance that tho orders
for the execution Of these men
have been c0untermanded.

secretary said the time that returns
would be had from that source was
problematical and that in any event
ultimate cost would be greater than if
direct taxes were laid. He explained
that if the interest were used. the
government would have to extend its
domestic debt refunding operations
that much longer at a cost TO the tax
payers, while if the foreign bonds were
sold in the United States the govern
ment would have to guarantee the in
terest and the principal and even then
the securities probably could not be
sold at par.
Foreign Debt Just Makeshift
To suggestion that the treasury
issue certificates of Indebtedness to
raise the $S50,O00.O00 for the first
two years and retire them out of in
terest rom the foreign debt. Mr..
Mellon said this would hinder the do
mestic debt refunding operations. The
amount to be refunded. he asserted.
was so large that no additional Sc
curities should be thrown on the mar
ket during the operations. He also
said the government was facing a
deficit of $30O,0OO,OOO in 1928 which
must be made up.
Asked as to the imposition Of tax
on light wines and beers as means
of raising the bonus funds, Mr. Mellon
declared that with the high tension"
in the country on the prohibition ques-
ton. it was not feasible TO depend
upon this as source of revenue.
Bonus May Cost Billion
Brigadjer General Lord, budget of
ficer for the war department. told the
committee that the department had
estimated that if all the soldiers took
the treasury would be 81 .OS2. 400 900,
but he declared that he and other Off
GERS believed this total too low.
Members of the committee agreed that
the figure probably was small.

laying of hands on the leader of India, who is also
