INCOME TAX BOOST

fundamental remedy to restore the
French treasury is an increased in
come tax, bringing France up to the
level Of the American and British
ratio, and ruthlessly collected from
rich and poor alike. The new finance
minister served notice on Parliament
yesterday of this intention.
His announcement came incidental
ly when. the question of voting pro
visional credits to carry on the pub
lie business of France during May
and June was under discussion. NJ
CaillauN put this measure through
the chamber in a few hours. l. pro-

which characterized his temperance

Anniversary of Banishment
1t was just five years ago yesterday
that CaillauN heard himself sentenced
to Imprisonment and banishment by
the Senate. On this occasion the Sen
ate gave him silent treatment, ap-
pearing not to notice his presence.
This seemed to make a deeper impress
sion on NJ. CaillauX than the Vituper-
ations TO which he was subjected in
the Chamber Tuesday.
In businesslike manner the finance
minister attended to affairs in the up
per house, then returned to the Cham
ber.
"Millionaires will pay just like other
taxpayers, he informed the Chamber
when an interruption from the right
broke out. The rich men have es-
capped taxation"
Il will also enforce the law against

continued. The law is insufficient,
but it exists, and the best we can do
is to apply IT,"

Speaking before officials of the lead

proceedings are unjustified. 1t is

had handled 13 landlord and tenant
cases, involving 81 persons. There
were 81 notices TO Vacate. 80 notices
of increased rent and % miscellaneous
cases. Mr. Petty's report showed that
out of the total appearing before the
board there was only one actual evic-
ton. and this. Mr.. Petty said. the
Real Estate Board felt was justified
An analysis of the 80 notices to

not consider them justified. These
tenants were relocated, and all the
other cases were adjusted OF the

Attorney Harry A. Grant for EIDE

charged with violations of the Vol

the search warrant as illegal. In
granting the request Chief Justice
Mccoy points out that the law pro-
tectS from searching homes. dwellings
or other places designed and intended
to be used exclusively as a home or
living quarters unless il is known be-
forehand that the place has been so
converted or altered by the installa-

it's original character is definitely
and decidedly changed thus bringing
the place within the category of

places of business.

with householders making home brew
as long as they do not attempt TO sell
any of the product.

UNKNOWN ABYSSINIA
 IMPORTANT FACTOR
 IN AFRICA'S FUTURE

NEW YORK, June 9.-(P)-Abys- sinia, the hermit nation of Africa, IS the enigma of international states manship, according to the Official report of the Educational Commis- sion to East Africa, wlicA is now being distributed by tue Phelps Stokes Fund The one great native empire of the African continent, Abyssnia has recently been admit ted as a member of the League Of Nations, although so little is known of it that the estimates of popula ton range from 100000 to 10000 900.
 "Unconquored, unknown and un- developed, Abyssinia is at once a country of great material resources and of serious and difficult prob lems," the report continues. "The most unique element in the posi- tion of the empire is it's independ- ence of European control. The re- markable agricultural possibilities, including almost half of the cultiva- table soil of temperate climates in East Africa, must inevitably respond to the demand of the world for the necessities of life. The increasing facility of transportation and travel will necessarily compel the partici- patton of this great empire in the economic activities of civilization.
 The geographical position of Abys- sinia in northeast Africa with Euro pean colonies encircling it's territory, nationalistic Egypt close at hand, and restless India not far away, all add to the impending character of Abys- sinian possibilities.
 ''In the present awakening of Af- rica, and especially of East Africa, it seems certain that this great in- land empire will be forced upon the attention of the world.
 "The vital problem now confront ing, not only Abyssinia but also East Africa and the nations whose peace and prosperity are involved, is how and when that empire is to become a factor in world affairs. Shall it be by way of exploitation, whether by selfish classes within the empire or by ruthless rivalries of foreign agencies, thus adding another ele- ment of perplexity in international relationships? Or shall it be by way of international cooperation and the encoura cement of the Abyssinians to adopt the processes of development based on sound economies, sound SO ciology, sound government and above all sound education related to the physical welfare, the mental ca pacities and the: moral and religious needs of the people?"
