OUR MONROE DOCTRINE

It appears that none of the South
American nations was invited to the
Genoa conference. which leads a
Madrid newspaper to refer to the

FOREIGN DEBT REFUNDING

The foreign debt r%efunding COM
mission has organized, following the
confirmation Of its members by the
Senate, and notices will be promptly
sent to the debtor governments that
the United States is ready to proceed
with the negotiations looking to the
conversion Of their obligations into
longtime securities. Before the end
of the calendar year much satisfac-
tory progress will doubtless have
been made. and the treasury will be
able to estimate with some accuracy
the receipts to be expected each year

ONE BILLION DOLLARS
UNPAID BACK TAXES

The'government is doing everything
possible to speed up the collection OF
approximately $1,000, 900, 900 in
back taxes. A heavy deficit is faced
by the treasury. and every dollar to
which the government is rightfully
entitled Is needed to meet pressing
obligations. 1t is understood that
the docket of the tax appeal board
contains many cases involving ST.
900, 900 and more. Those sums re-
main unpaid because the taxpayers
have filed claims alleging improper
assessments. 1t is hoped to obtain
a speedy determination of those
cases.

The Senate has passed the measure
appropriating $17.OOO,0 900 for the
construction Of more hospitals for

Accepts Terms.

Paris. Dec. 15.-Battling Sikh has
not disappeared, but win soon start
10 long weeks on secret training far
from the sirens of the city's streets
and the wine which is red and ar
dent.
He told the United News Monday
that he was going to hide himself
away and prepare for the return
match with Georges Carpenter. His
new manager, a man named Brouil-
het, had Sikh in heavy conference, dis
cussing the black battler's plans for
a comeback in the esteem of France
and the world of pugilism.
Federation to Sponsor Bout.
The French boxing federation Mon
day decided to sponsor the return
match between Sikh and Georges, but
on these conditions:
Sikh must first. testify before a
commission of the federation regard
ing the alleged fakery which was to
have governed their previous bout;
all receipts, including movie rights,
must be given to charity and every
body who enters the stadium must
pay admission including even the
fighters themselves.
Carpenter Accepts.
And all these conditions are based
on the broad condition that the fax
ing shall be effectively whitewashed
away, although how that is to be
done, nobody seems to know. 1t is
pointed out that Sikh is either vii
famous liar or an honest man and
that Carpenter is either faker or
the victim ofs-base accusation. Ex-
onerate one and the other stands con-
victed.
Carpenter returned to Paris and
confirmed his acceptance Of the re
turn match on the federation's terms.
However, he inserted stipulation
which may develop into full-sized
alibi. He said he must first see his
