Beliyes America Must Return

& Save World Situation
RELIES ON PEOPLE TO
EXECUTE CONCLUSIONS
French War Premier, to Meet
With Woodrow Wilson Late
This Afternoon

Washington, Dec. G. Georges
Clemenceau,a the laundering old
French war premier, decided to leave
his case for France entirely with the
American people. The Tiger has
laid squarely before President Hard
ing his belief that America must re-
turn to European affairs and the as
sistance of France to save the world
situation, but he does not consider
that it is asking any favors from the
United States government.
He will sail for France next week,
relying on the American people to
execute whatever conclusions they
may have drawn from his speeches
throughout the country.
. ]. "As to what they might do, have
nothing to say" the fiery old French
man declared, pointing out how he
came. here to stir up public opinion
on questions Of vital concern to Eu-
rope and also to America. He said
t'If you do as I say, good. If you
don't do as I say, good. There will
be no bad words between u.s."
AS the time draws near for the
dramatic meeting Of Woodrow Wilson
and the Tiger late this afternoon, it
is apparent that while these two
leaders in the World War both
want America to return to Eur
ope, they have widely divergent
views as to how the United States
can best aid the old world.
The views of each are still the
same as at the Versailles peace table.
Clemenceau's greatest desire is to get
the United States to jcsn with Great
Britain in a. guarantee that they will
come to the aid Of France in case OF
unproyoked aggression. :.
The two war figures, however, will
meet in spirit of entire friendliness
with all thought Of their past clashes
at the Paris peace conference behind
them, according to those close to both
men. w.

Home early today for Arlington Ma

Dublin, Dec. 6-The Irish tricolor
was raised today over the Vice Regal
lodge. The British Union Jack was
hauled down as the Free State came
into being. After similar announce
>ment of the formal constitution Of
the Irish Free State in Dublin and
London, Timothy Healy, the new
governor general was sworn in and
the first melting of the Irish parlia-
ment summoned.
The last few strenuous weeks have
affected the health of President Cos
grave who will leave for the south
OF France. to recuperate soon after
the assembly's first meeting. Doc
tors have ordered his to remain away
at least two months. He will not
resign as president Of the Free State,
it is reported.
Republicans are reported planning
a coup d'etat under the leadership Of
Liam Lynch, who has arrived in Dub
lin to take charge Of the republican
campaign. The Free State governor
seeks to discourage America from
subscriptions funds for republican
leaders on the ground that further
rebel activity will only result in the
destruction Of property and the am
bushing Of troops. Timothy Healy
upon his arrival in Ireland asked
America to withhold her moral as
we'll as her financial support from the
republic. He said the republicans
had no paracea for Ireland.

GIVES ANNUAL REPORT
Mellon Strongly Urges Cut
of Fifty Per Cent in
Surtax Levies

Washington, Dec. .6-Secretary Of
the Treasury Mellon. today informed
Congress that no additional federal
taxes will be necessary during the
coming year, if a policy of rigid e.
economy is enforced. ~< r.
In his annual report on the tinan-
cial operations of the government
during the last fiscal year. the secre-
tary strongly urged one reduction
in taxes-a so per cent cut in the
present surtax levies on big incomes
of 100000 a year and over. Mellon
suggested that the rhaximum be fixed
at Is, per cent, and the other rates
on incomes below 100000 reduced
accordingly. Taking direct issue
with the farm bloc which was largely
responsible. for 3he present rates,
Mellon asserted that the high levies
are restricting business expansion
and that just as much revenue could
be obtained by cutting them in half.
Other outstanding points OF the
sccretary's report were: =. -
l.; The country already, is suffer-
ing from a scarcity of labor, due to
immigration restriction and the gem
eral resumption Of industrial activity
with the consequence Of higher wages
than last year and greater manu-
featuring costs. '.~>.4..u

quate equipment, and are unable to
