or give the outline of the deal to the
public.
The banker arrived yesterday on
the Homeric after an absence of sew
efal months in Europe.
Speaking OF the proposed German
loan, Mr.. Morgan said: Much as I
would like to go-into this matter il is
obvious that my usefulness hinges on
silence at this time"
He was told owen d. Young, one
OF the reparations commissioners,
had said the loan might easily be
fioated here.
THAT was very nice of Mr.. Young"
he said, but SO many issues are in
volved, so many governmental phases
would have to be discussed with
bankers before such loan was TAX.
EN- up, that l cannot DISCUSS it now"
He pointed out that the American
government was neither officially nor
in any way connected with the Ger
man loan proposal, but he indicated
there were others besides associates
of J. r. Morgan & Co. who would
have to be consulted.
1--WE are bankers, you know, and as
such reserve the right to consider
proposition among ourselves before
making its terms public" Mr.. Nor
gan continued. Il must be fair to
nay business associates. l haven't

plans and publicly announce whether
it would undertake to float the $780,

bluntly. Il don't know"
Mr.. Morgan corroborated reports
from Paris that the 100000, 900 his
firm advanced that country recently

exchange was loaned on condition
that the French would undertake to
foat no more government bond issues
than were already outstanding.

He declared also that his arrival
in Paris just as the Dawes report

Tax Bill Threatened With Farm
Relief Rider.

Pressing toward a final vote on the
revenue bill, the Senate today faced
a stumbling block in the plan of
advocates of farm relief legislation
to tack the McNary- -Haugen bill to
the measure as an amendment.
Two attempts made during ten
hour session yesterday to restrict de-
bate on the bill today and agree to
vote on it for passage at 5 o'clock
were blocked by objections from both
sides of the chamber.
All of the committee amendments
were disposed of yesterday with
adoption of gift tax, one of the
two new taxes in the bill That i'm
posed on mah-jong sets, of 10 per
cent, is the other.
Amendment after amendment also
was accepted yesterday as members
of both parties put forward proposals,
mostly aimed to clarity the language
relating to exemptions and to liberal
ize the rules affecting collections of
taxes and claims for refunds. In ad-
dition, the Democrats, again aided by
Republican insurgents, voted to open
further the Treasury records to
publicity of tax questions, putting in
an amendment to make public all
hearings of the proposed board of tax
appeals.

INSECTS CAUSE HUGE
LOSS AMONG TREES

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 20.-In-

a high death rate among trees, ae-
cording to a bulletin issued by gov

now learning how to control it.
Trees at all ages like humans,
are subject to epidemics, the bull

imported from eastern Asia on nur-
sery stock in the COS has almost
wiped out this tree in its Northern
rangesa it was reported. The bulletip
also stated that the white pine blist-
err rust, which came from Europe
less than 20 years ago, threatens
the existence of eastern white pine,
western white and sugar pine for,

tree nursery stock has been found
to be the only way of preventing
such diseases and such quarantine
has lately been put in force.
The checking of insects engaged
in their enormous forest plumber is
possible at comparatively small
expense, says the bulletin. Insects
cause a loss of $1SO,OOO,O0O a year
