LONDON, March THE announce

structed the government to under
take fresh peace negotiations with
the allies for the purpose of having
the Lausanne treaty conform with
the Turkish national pact has struck
a note of discouragement among the
British diplomatists in London who
fear that negotiations based upon
what they term the inordinate de-
mands OF the national pact would
prove futile. These officials now an

While Great Britain is taking every
measure of prudence toward military
and naval defense in the zone of the

of the near east situation and with
Great Britain's pressing economic ic

ence with Premier Theunis and NJ.
Delacroix, Belgian member of the
commission 1t Is understood that the
conferees will discuss, in addition to
POSSIBLE Ruhr penalties, the position
TO be taken by the French and Bel
CLANS when the time for negotiations
with Germany arrives.
Opinion in the chamber of deputies
is crystallizing in favor of a demand
for an independent Westphalia and

,lement of the reparation question.
II is maintained in some circles that
Great Britains admission to negotia-
tions with Germany must be con-
tingent upon her agreement to sup
port the French in a demand for the
fulfllment of Germany's reparations
obligations.
The opinion in political circles is
that Berlin will be ready to talk with
in three months.
Those holding the view which
would restrict England's participa-
ton in any parley declare that
France alone could have collected
reparations from Germany. whose re-
sistancc was largely due to the en-
couragement she received from Great
Britain. If French action in the
Ruhr brings Germany TO terms. they
say it is impossible for the French
government to commit the folly of
allowing her success to be compro
missed by a revival of the conflict of

TAX AS
AFFECTS CITY
Told of at Lions Club
Speaker Tells of Great Tax
on City's Industries

Foolish Things That Wise Men
Do" was the TOPIC of an address
given by James r. Brown, president
of the Manhattan Single Tax Club of
New York, at the regular weekly
session of the Lions club today in the
New Packer House. Mr.. Browns ad-
dress dwelt with the present taxation
system and showed how the single
tax would work for the betterment
of communities If adopted.
In telling how the present system
works in this city the speaker said
Perth Amboy every year pun
ishes industry by tax amounting 10
about S1,125.000, and then to add TO
the sum of its follies. II gives to
landowners as a reward for ldleness
in the form of land values public
prop erty to the extent of about ST.
100000. This enormous premium
on idleness, results in the boosting
of land values beyond the ability
labo.' and capital to pay the tribute.
Perth Amboy requires about $1435,-
703 this year for all purposes. Your
land area is 1904 acres and allowing
for streets, there are therefore,
about 1924S lots 25x100. An av-
erage tax of 500 per lot would yield
S1924,800. And this without taking
OnS CCDL VI pAiNdlO
adding one cent to the cost of living.
This tax would grade in apportion-
ment between your dearest lot said
to be worth 5000, or more-and
your cheapest lot worth 500 or, IL
YOU were to abolish all taxes on i'm
proVements and personal property
and levy five per cent tax in your
land values, the dear lot would pay
$3.50 improved or unimproved, and
the cheapest lot would $5 improved
or unimprovved. Users of land
world benefit, non-users would have
to become workers and producers.
IL you allow in this town one lot
to each family for all purposes, you
would need only 5000 lots leaving
some 10,24S lots idle and vacant. all
of which are entitled to and get
MOI or less social service and ad-
vantage but do not pay the full cost
thereof. What they do nor pay is
uniustly loaded on to improve
ments."
A large sale of tickets for the en-
tertainments to be given under the
auspices of the Community Enter
tainment League was reported by
the committee.
Clarence II. Wright was chairman
of today's session of the club which
was the largest since the formation
of the club in this city.
