ROME, December 29.-The memo
randum issued by Cesare Rossi,
charged with being implicated in the
Matteoti assassination, is the object
of universal comment. Rossi places
the odium of acts OF violence against
numerous deputies and others on Pre-
mier Mussolini. Yesterday, however.
various newspapers and some of the
individuals mentioned in the memo
randum came to the support of Mus
solini.
The Messaggero terms the memo
randum "a passionate, misleading
document, written not for the pur-
pose of furnishing disinterested evil
dence, but in order to create an
alibi-in other words, a defense
maneuver
The Impero says: at is the last
card played by the opposition in the
desperate game against fascisrno.
The opposition bomb has missed fire.
Our opinion is that the value OF the

MELLON POINTS ID
 LOSS IN REVENUE Income to J. s. Smaller Under
 Garner Plan Than Meilon'S BASED ON 1921 RETURNS
Normal Income Tax Yield Would Be Reduced by Democratic Plan More Than by Rcpublican---SmaII Cut in
 Surtaxcs Would Lose t50 Million.

Washington. Feb. 1.--The govern ment would suffer a loss of s347.- 1 9S1 ,49l in revenue with a reduction of taxes as suggested by the demo- crats against loss of s2S7.S14,261 under the Mellon plan, Secretary Mel lon informed Representative Garner, 1 author of the democratic scheme. without comment in estimates sub mitted today.
 1 The principal loss, the estimate | pionted out, would be entailed in the revenue from normal income taxes which the Garner plan would reduce by s1S6.257,3S6 whereas the Mellon plan would result in loss of ST. 0l4,S54.
 However, the smaller cut in sur taxes proposed by the democrats would result only in loss of $780, S03,l95 while the Mellon plan to re- duce these taxes to n maximum of 25 per cent would mean loss of sa0O,352,24S.
 Representative Gamers plan would cut the normal rate 10 two per cent on incomes under s5,000 instead of three per cent under 5000 pro posed by Mir. Mellon thus a, .o,hti' ' for the larger reduction.
 The figures were based on the 1921 returns and showed that the greatest loss under the Garner plan would result in the taxes on incomes under sa.ooO where $l35,sst,7SO less rev enue would be contained.
 Reductions under the Mellon plan would save tax-payers on incomes of this amount $50,i72,577.
 The estimates considered only losses, resulting from reduction cG. income rates. Both plaiis pro idrd for a reduction of about si00, ,OOo, ,0O0 in tho miscellaneous taxes and the house ways and means committee al- ready has reduced these taxes by sina, ,0G0, poo,
