United States than that taken almost
Immediately after the entrance into power
or the Baldwin cabinet and comprehended in
the determination to resume the construction
of the Singapore naval base, which was aban-
doned by the Labor ministry.
1t is impossible to disguise the fact that
this decision is in itself clear evidence of
the change in Anglo Japanese relations,
change which followed the World War and
was disclosed conclusively In the Washington
conference, where the British abandoned the
old Anglo Japanese alliance, which had lasted
for nearly two decades. and substituted for it
the four-party pact, which aimed at creating
n condition of permanent peace in the Pacific
For the British dominions and to Australia,
primarily, the result of the Washington
ference was by no means satisfactory. The
worst phase Of the general agreements was
that which envfsaged the retirement of the
United States to Hawaii, the abandonment of
tho Philippines and Guam advanced bases
for our fleet This withdrawal left no real
barrier between Australia and Japan. Hol-
. land, too, was rendered apprehensive by the
fact for the Dutch East Indies with moro
than 5o000000 of inhabitants and their enor-
nous present and future commercial value,
were even more Immediately exposed to Jap
aggression.
Following the Washington conference and
in pursuance Of policy disclosed in the geo
graphical limits fixed for the Pacific pact
the British began to outline the plans for the
construction of a vast naval base at Singapore,
which should be the replica in British naval
strategy of Hawaii in own. Just as our
fleet would cover all our Pacific interests from
Alaska to Panama, based the Hawaiian
tablishment, so the British fleet would

Any less considerable preparation against
possible Japanese advance would have left
Australia unsatisfed and have directly weak
ened the security of the empire. The Aus
tralan continent, with above that Of
the United States or Canada, has a population
of less than 100000. The vast open spaces
which remain to be settled, then, offer an
unnistakable attraction to the Japanese
whose restricted area already is terribly over
crowded and whose population is growing by
millions between each census period.
Australia however, like the United States
Canada and South Africa, has adopted imrni-
grafton laws which exclude the Asiatic and
has declared itself committed to the policy
of white Australia This purpose of
course arouses precisely the resentment

States and it is worth recalling, the two pol.

Tax Adjustment Relief Plan
Has Thus Far Been a Cropper

lhe law provides that unless tbe-
board as a whole reviews case the
DIVISIONS findings will become tho :
nndings of the board within so days :
apprehension that divisions may con
met somewhat in their findings has
oeclded 1t to pass as whole on each
case for the present.
Ihe boards present plan is to send
a division out to hold hearings al

Seattle. Portland. Greg; San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City.
Denver, Omaha and Des Moines That
plan Will be put into effect when tax
payers in those sections indicate. in
sufficient numbers, that they prefer
having their cases heard at home
rather than Washington. The trip
Will cost the Government $4,000 or
more, and Chairman Hamel does not
want to undertake it until the ex-4
pense will be justified. Another divi-
sion was expected to tour the South
west holding hearings at Louisville
st. Louis. Kansas City, Dallas and
Austin. Thus far only four tax
payers in that section have indicated
that they wanted the hearings heidi
at home. The trip is off until more
cases accumulate.
Less than a dozen taxpayers. it is
said, have indicated their desire for
hearings in the Middle West, SO the
projected trip to that section also
has been deferred.
The board has adopted the policy
of notifying each taxpayer whose
dispute comes before it that he max
have hearing of his case at home,
or nearby, but even this plan has not
brought many applications. Appar-
emily, taxpayers don't mind the ex-
pense and trouble of a trip to Wash
ington.
The board is somewhat surprised
at this, as 1t was expected that the
idea of sending the board to the tax
payers instead of having the tax
payers come to the board would make
a decided hit. To date, however, il

apparently. the women are not as
desirous of gaining their political
freedom and securing the vote as in
several Of the other Latin American
nations.
The influence of what women are
doing in other nations, however, may
have n stirring effect on the women
in some of the South and Central
American countries, Mexico and the
West Indies, 1t is believed, and bring
to thems the vote sooner than other
wise would be the case. Tho power
of imitation in this respect, as in
many other directions, 1t Is pointed
out, may have a wonderful effect in
speeding up the potential political
instinct of the Latin American
woman.
Not Ready For Vote.
On the other hand, it will be a
long time, in the opinion of DR..
Barrett, before the women of Latin
America as a whole or in any con-
siderable numbers will be clamoring.
as did their sisters in the United
States and in England. for the right
to vote and to hold public office and
to do other things in community life
which are contrary to all the habits
and traditions of Latin life.

sonally. The women Of Latin Amer
lea, she said. have been interested,
in some countries for a long time
past, in certain kinds Of charitable
and social work; but she had found
during her travels that there ap-
peared to be little inclination on the
part of the average Latin American
woman to actually get out into the
hustle and hustle of the world, into
it's business and politics, and to en-
gage actively in any form Of civic
enterprise.
Some Exceptions In All Countries.
DR.. Barrett who. through her ac-
tivity in the work Of the Interna-
ttonal Council Of Women, has studied
conditions. particularly as they af-
feet women, in practically every
country Of the world, admitted that
there are some women or groups of
women in a number of the Latin
American countries who have been
manifesting a keen interest in ques-
tions Of public and national concern.
The great majority Of the women in
South America, however, she Is con-
vinced, are. neither fitted for nor de-
sirous of having the vote or of par
ticipating actively along other lines
in general public welfare movements.
She thinks. further, that 1t will be
a long time before they do break
away from the home ties and from
the shackles of tradition and age
long habit and ancestral training
which have kept them secluded and
carefully protected from public in
trusion and decide that the time has
come for them to enter the arena Of

SEES A USEFUL FUTURE
FOR INDUSTRIAL COURT
Former Gov. Allen Says Workers Favor
and Only Labor Leaders Oppose
Kansas Tribunal.

tects us against riots. But some of
US still retain the sacred right to
derail trains, burn factories and
picket stores in the most horrible of
all fighting-industrial wars.
Now you ask why labor opposed
the Industrial Court. Labor as a
group did not, but labor leaders did.
And for one reason only-the court
takes away their divine right to
order strikes.
"A labor organizer is the secretary
OF war for his union. He runs the
war department, keeps the dues
paid, has everything in a constant
state of preparedness. Now I never
knew of any secretary of war yet
who did not object strenuously to
the abolition of his job. And that
is exactly what the Industrial Court
does. 1t gives a means of setting
disputes without access to war, so
there was no further use of paying
dues to a war department. 1t hurt
the unions.
Not Against the Unions.
II am not against the unions. But
1 am against union organizers who
tell their men not to own their own
homes because property hampers
their freedom of action in industrial
warfare. They keep their men in a
constant state of get-up-and-go. It
Is state of unrest which Is not good
for thiHcountry. 1 would not abolish
labor leaders. but rather have them
instruct their men in the principles
Of American ownership and show
them that property ownership
furthers their own interests as well
as their community's."
"The Industrial Court forbids men
to strike" I said, but what pre-
vents them from taking a vacation %
Nothing. They can all take a
vacation. But at the same time,
what Is to prevent the employer from
bringing in other men to fill their
places under the protection of the
State2' Samuel Gompers admitted in
his debate with me that a strike was
useless unless 1t was picketed.
Right tos Quit Protected.
''The State Of Kansas, under this
court, protects the laborer in his right
to work or to quit The law reads
specifically: Nothing III this act shall
be considered as restricting the right of
the individual employe to quit his en-
ployment at any time but that does
not mean he shall come around the job
he has left with brickbats and dyna-
mite for the purpose of preventing the
other fellow who may wish to continue.
THE unions accuse us of having
taken away the divine right of quitting
work. They kick about robbing them
Of personal liberty. But how much lib
erty do they give their men? Take a
case in the Kansas coal strike. The
union quit, but one man stayed on. His
name was Guffy, and the union suspend
ed him from membership for 80 years.
Union officials went to the grocery store
where he traded ard threatened the ex-
tinction of the business of that store If
they sold to Guffy, and they went to
Guffy's landlord and said, You cannot
keep Guffy in your house That's per-
sonal liberty for you.
NO, the State of Kansas has inter-
fered not with the right to quit work.
but the divine right of union leaders to
require their men to quit work.

dig coal. but the truckmen refused to

BY HARDEN COLFAx.

Taxpayers in dispute with the Fed
eral Government either have failed to
realize that their disputes can be ad-
1usted elsewhere than at Washington
or don't want them adjusted else
where, and as result the administra-
tion's desire to take tax adjustment
relief into the highways and byways
has thus far come a cropper. The
United States Board of Tax Appeals
finds that only 80 cases have been
placed on its out-of- to&n calendar
within five weeks after the announce
ment that 1t was ready to do busi-
ness in other sections of the country
AS a consequence, the plan to send
division of the board out on a tour
of the Northern, Northwestern and
Pacific Coast territory, with tax hear
ings scheduled at cities along the
way, has been held up until more
cases accumulate. Announcement of
the proposed trip was made October
8. At that time twas hoped that the
response would enable the board to
send out it's division within a short
time.
Response Limited.
Response to the announcement,
however, instead of being sweeping in
its extent, has been limited to about
Is instances in the territory in ques-
ton. Accordingly the board has post
.poned until about December 15 any
further definite announcement as to
the trip. Officials expect that there
will be a still further postponement
at that time. 1t now looks as If the
trip would not be made before Febru-
ary /.
The board, it will be recalled, was
created by the tax reduction law
passed last June and was intended to
relieve the congestion of accumulated
disputes between the Government and
taxpayers. 1t was also intended, ap-
parently, that the board should dis
tribute its members. from time to
time, in various geographical sections
so that taxpayers would be saved the
expense and lost time incidental to
coming to Washington to have their
troubles adjusted.
1t now develops. in the light of
four months experience, that the
board cannot we'll distribute it's
members over the country as some
of the trainers of the law anticipated,
but instead will have to adopt the
policy of sending divisions out from
time to time, as, needed, on tours
lasting from one to two months.
The reason for this, 1t was stated
at the Offices of the board. is that

BALTIMORE, Nd, October 20
Temporarily dispossessed of their once
orderly offices by veritable army of
eager newspaper men, bent upon COM
pletely barring the new open secrets of
the income tax report books, Internal
Revenue Collector Galen L. TAFT and his
deputies were seriously wondering to-
day whether or not this precedent is but
the forerunner of an even more serious
invasion by credit men, collection
agencies, investigators and innumerable
other commercial reporters.
Although Mr.. TAFT has ordered the
books of the income tax department
opened without any limitations to the
newspaper men, he pointed out to each
one that publication of the data they
find therein will subject them to a pos
sible fine of $1,000 or a year in Jail, or
both. AS further gesture, he notified
the editors of every paper in this COL
lection district that infraction of the
law might bring quick punishment. In
the meantime the internal revenue COL
lector has diverted most of his force
from the business of tabulating income
tax returns to d minute scrutiny of
Misunderstanding State books, in the
desperate hope of finding some clause
that will authorize him to close his doors
to every Tom, Dick and Harry who
