acknowledgements revenue
agents and auditors, just catching up
with their after-the-war work, have
made the startling discovery that more
than 100000 persons liable for taxes
on incomes above $4,000 have lodged
payment, either through not making
returns or concealing assets.
This was learned at the Treasury
Department, simultaneously Eith the
Inauguration of drive on the part OF
the Internal Revenue Bureau to catch
the evaders.
| Revenue experts estimate that the
Treasury can be enriched to the extent
of $500 900, 900 in collections from in
dividuals who have failed to make any
returns for four years.
In cataloguing taxpayers throughout
the country agents have found that
the number of persons who should
have made returns and did not will
total nearly 100000. In addition
there is also shown in the reports
large class of tax evaders who have
put themselves in the $4,000 class,
whereas their earnings are consider
ably larger than that.
Orders have gone out to internal
revenue collectors to make roundup
of small business concerns in large
. cities. These cities will be centers of
whirlwind smash at the evaders in
( the next few weeks. From New York,
Philadelphia, Boston, Cincinnati,
f Cleveland, Detroit, st. Louis, San
e Francisco and Pittsburgh the drive
l will be extended to other cities upon
t an equally vigorous scale, it was said
y by Treasury officials.
The Government greatest loss
from tax revenues since the war is
ascribed to "shirking" by small bust
ness concerns in the larger cities. The
k Government has gained access to banl
accounts and other data, which re
J. veals the liability of thousands of sucf

]. S. FOREIGN
POLICY HELPFUL
Administrations Aim to Pro-
mote Harmony
SOME ACCOMPLISHMENTS
One-Man Rule Avoided-Governme
Conducted Without Usurpation,
Resulting In Economy And
More Efficiency.

Boston, Mass-A foreign policy Of
helpfulness and good understanding,
without entanglements which would
fetter American indedendence, was out
lined by Secretary Hughes of the
State Department in an address in
symphony Hall reviewing the record
of the present administration in the
field of international relations.
BY the lead it took in the arms con-
ference, the Secretary said, and by its
efforts toward harmony among the ma
tions of the Western Hemisphere, the
American Government during the past
twenty months has set a record of ac-
complishment far beyond what was ex-
pected of it when the new administra-
ton came into power.
SO far as Europe is concerned, Mr.
Hughes declared, President Harding
and his advisers always have been
ready to lend helping hand where
it would do the most good, but are
not willing to fritter away the in
fluence of the United States by inter
vention in controversies that are
rooted in age-old national rivalries.
THE chief trouble at this time in
Europe" he continued. "is that the
great powers have not been able to
agree as to questions which, being
distinctly European, directly concern
them, and their want Of agreement is
due to different conceptions Of essen
!al national policy. For us, interna
tional cooperation does not mean tina
we should embroil ourselves in contro
versies not involving our own inter
ests"
The Secretary added that he be
lieved a way might be found for tn
United States to participate formall
in the selection of judges to the re
Gently organized International Cour
of Justice, a project which from tn
first has had the sympathy of thi
Government He declared that a
ready, in humanitarian way an
through the channels of trade, th
United States was really giving al
OF value incalculable. He praise
the arms conference agreements q
meaning ''the rescue of the world fro
despair" and predicted that despit
the present delay the Washingto
treaties would be ratified by all II
powers signatory to them. Ultima
failure of the conference program,
asserted, had been precluded in an
case by the ratification already vott
by the United States, Great Brita
and Japan.
Among the other Accomplishment
reviewed by Mr.. Hughes as part
the constructive program of the q
ministration, were the negotiation
peace treaty with Germany. the Y
agreement protecting American int
ests in the mandate islands in t
Poetic. the reorganization of Cubs
finance, the Tacna-Arica arbitrati
agreement between Chile and Peru,
calling of a conference here of Cent
American republics, and the stabili
tion of Haiti and Santo Domingo.

ing approximately $3.50, 100000 arising |
out OF the country's activities during
