Lord Cecil Pleased
by Movement for

London, Feb. 27.-(By 4. P.)-The
desire expressed by President Hard :
ing and Secretary of States Hughes
for the participation of the United
states in the permanent court of in
ternattonal justice is characterized
by Lord Robert Cecil. recognized as
one of the leading British experts in
the League of Nations affairs, as
particularly pleasing" but has not
caused him to jump to the conclusion
that the United States is about ready
to take out full membership in the
League and despatch delegates to
Geneva.
The only constructive comment I
can make" said Lord Robert in a
statement to The Associated Press
today. is that l see no reason why
Mr.. Hughes reservations should not
be accepted.
Naturally. l know the temper of
the League assembly and in the as
scmbly. | assure YOU. there will be
no objection to American participa
ion IN the permanent court under
the American conditions. have
heard some comment that America
seems to be trying to obtain the
advantages of the League without in
curing the responsibilities. but il
does not appeal to me in that light.
1or the League and the court are
distinctly separate bodies. as is the
opium commission, in which Ameri-
ca is cooperating.
president Hardins's proposal
seems to include full responsibilities.
by sharing the expenses of the court
and in other ways. and see no lus-
tlfication for such, criticism"
Lord Robert added that the pro-
posai of President Harding and Nj.
Hughes was of the greatest personal
interest to him. in view of his forth
coming visit to the United States.

Educators Attack
School Tax Systems
at Cleveland Meet

Cleveland. Feb. o7-Tax systems
were attacked today by several
speakers during general sessions of
the Department of Superintendent
OF the National Education Associa-
ton convention in discussions Of
progress in solving school financial
problems.
Pointing out that Weather COM
munities spend the larger amount
per pupil whereas it often happens
that the poorer communities have the
highest tax rate, DR.. George ID. Stry-
or. of Columbia University, came to
this conclusions:
IF opportunity and burden are to
be cqualiZcd. the state must levy a
tax upon the properly or incomes Of
all the people, or in some other
manner secure revenues by a system
of taxation which hears with equal
weight upon all"
Robert NJ. Halg, professor Of husi-
ness organization Coluinbla Unver-
sity, said that in New York state
thirty per cent of all state and local
revenues in 1920 were educa tional
taxes and declared that "it is hope
less to depend upon the general prop
erty tax as the sole source of state
and local revenue if we are to finance
| the program of education"
superintendent FL. Is. Bruner, of
Okmulgee. Okla. said costs could be
reduced by increasing the efficiency
