Government Secretary (Zaae) remark
ed: Mr.. Chairman. | would like to state
that the Government is thoroughly sym
pathetic with the intent and purposes
of this Ordinance, but that it received
word concerning it only on Saturday,
March Il. 1t will be remembered that the
original Ordinance was largely designed
by the Municipal Committee and | there
fore suggest that it might be advisable if
the proposed amendment be referred to
that body and that the Despatching Sc
cretary be asked to sit with the Munich
pal Committee, and that a report be
made at the next meeting OF the Council
which is only a little more than two
weeks off. In that way the Government
will have a chance to digest it and the
matter might be settled at that session.

any one wants more money alter these

this year we have a great deal OF that, 50

With regard to this matter il IS said that
the squatter, were handicapped. Way
were they handicapped? IlIs because a
good many property owners refused TO
come forward to support the squatters by
holding themselves responsible Ior the
loans. Some did not do as much as re-
main in the Council when the Ordinance
providing for the granting o~t~I0ans TO
sQuatters was introduced, they walked
out when the bill came up for discussion.

 Disarmament Conference SURPRISES AT GENEVA

By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Washington, March 13.-Although President Coolidge Is anxious to call new arms conference as soon as an opportune moment is present ed, administration officials appar- ently regard the whole project as nebulous.
 So far as surface indications re- veal, consideration of the subject has not approached even remotely the stage where formal invitations can be issued.
 The president, has said publicly he would await the outcome of the League of Nations conference pro- posal before taking any initiative to- ward conference. Developments of the last few days at Geneva, re- garded abroad as sounding the death knell of the league protocol with which the league conference proposal was intertwined, are being watched here with great interest but without comment.
 It is suggested that Mir. Coolidge may desire to see too, whether there is to be any tangible results from the present discussions of various other projects for realignment of European relationships on basis designed to guarantee mutual se- curity.

ADDITIONAL TAX OF
 NEARLY Il MILLIONS
Assessment of $10,S61,- 131.50 Has Been Levied
 Against Couzens

Washington, March 1S.--An addi-
 ional tax of $1o,S61.131.50 has been
 assessed by the treasury against
 Senator Couzens, republican, Michi-
 gan, on the sale of his Ford Motor stock in 1919.
 In making this announcement to-
 day in the senate, Senator Couzens said he had information that the computation on which the additional assessment was based was made by the New York firm of Thompson &
 Black. two years ago in an "effort to get MT. Ford, (Henry Ford. who then was in political fight with Mr. Truman H. Newberry. who since has resigned from the senate"
 'I think 1t must be apparent to members of this body" said Senator Couzens. "what the real purpose is back of the action. l simply call 1t to the attention of the senate so senators may be upon notice as to what they may expect If they at- tempt to interfere with or discredit in any way the conduct of the treas- ury."
 Senator Couzens, who has been conducting the investigation into the internal revenue bureau said the notice of additional assessment should be mailed 10 his legal resi- dence in Detroit and that he had been notified that since the statute | of limitation in which the tax could be assessed expired today he would be required 10 furnish bond in the amount of the assessment.
 T am informed" the Michigan senator said, that this computation was arranged by this firm largely be- cause of antagonsm against Mr. Ford in an effort to discredit him in lis campaign against MT. Newberry.
 The treasury was on notice two years and three or four months be- fore the running of the statute of limitation. I submit that if the treasury was on notice at the time before I was a member of this body, that was the time to take action, But no, they waited until six days ago before they thought they were justified in making this additional assessment"
