MELONS REPORT
ARGUES AGAINST

Big Taxpayers

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Secretary
Melons annual treasury report sub
mitted to congress stressed evidence
purporting to show that the United
States is justified in demanding pay
ment for foreign war debts, principally
those of France. Mellon released cor
respondence between the foreign coun-
tries and the United States 10 show
that they did not expect, nor desire
cancellation Of the debts.
"France Refused Gift"
That Premier Ribot OF France ex-
pressed the Hope that the United
States would avoid action tending to
make a gift Of the loans to France"
in correspondence in April, 1919, was
shown by the report.
He said that when the United States
threatened to refuse new loans to
France because of her attitude in IA
Vor of debt revision, the French min
isters denied such attitude and incur
red new loans on the strength Of this.
Wilson Opposed caneelline.
He also said that President Wilson
was just as "frm as Harding and Coo
lidge against cancellation" Until the
war ended no intimation was made
that these advances we're subsidies,
said the report, and that they were

Echoes property"
Reviewing economic conditions, Mel
lon echoed the statements Of Coolidge
and Hoover, saying: "This country
has undoubtedly been exceedingly
prosperous for the last few years, and
prosperity Is continuing"
Mellon officially advocated the tax
credit plan outlined by Coolidge, and
suggested that a credit of Is per cent
be given all payments of income taxes
TO be made in 1927, on 1925 earnings.
Opposes Tax Reductions.
In other words, instead ofNreducing
taxes all along the line, Mellon pro-
poses that those who pay income
taxes should receive a rebate OF Is
per cent.
This is made possible, he said, be-
cause there will be a government sur
plus OF $3.50. 100000 after provision has
been made for retirement OF debt thru
sinking funds and repayment of for
eign loans.
Says He Is "Fair."
In defending his stand against tax
reduction, he said, "The imperative
necessity that we do not commit our
government to an unsound fiscal pol
icy for the future, should not prevent
the government treating Its taxpayers

CAPITAL CITY
STIRRED over
CUMMINS TALK
First Bold Republican
PrOds Coolidge
Especial to The Daily worksO


WASHINGTON, July IA. - Senator
Albert 3. cummins' prediction that
President Coolidge will not be a candi-
date to succeed himself in 1928 arous-
ed considerable speculation in the cap
ital today as to whether the Iowan
spoke by the book"
Senator Cummins has enjoyed parti-
.cularly friendly relations with the
White House throughout the Coolidge
administration. He has been the most
regular OF all the Western republican
group, and it has been to him that
Mr.. Coolidge has often turned in re-
cent months for counsel regarding mid
western political conditions.
First bold Republican"
Only on one issue in the session
just closed did the veteran Iowa sen
ator break with Mr.. Coolidge That
was on the farm relief issue in the
closing days, but the difference caused
no breach in the cordial relations. Be
cause of this friendly and intimate
contact, Cummins' prophecy that Mr.
Coolidge will not run again command
ed considerable attention today. In
cidentally, he is the first regular re-
publican of national prominence to be
so bold.
Most of the presidents intimstes
left in Washington today character
lied the Cummins' prediction as a
personal one, and intimated that his
political views may have been
iaundiced by the revolt in his own
state that resulted in the nomination
of Col. Smith w. Brookhart. They
declared Mr.. Coolidge by no word or
deed has provided any justification
for the prediction of his political re-
tirement
Dawes and Lowden Mentioned.
On the other hand, the mid-western
insurgents. still angry over the presi-
dents defeat OF their cherished Nc
Nary Haugen bill. privately subscribed
TO Cummins' prediction, and added.
also privately, that even if Mr.. Coo
lidge does decide to run again he will
have opposition. The names OF vice
President Dawes, who led the farm
revolt against the White House in the
closing days, and Ex-Gov Frank O.
Lowden Of Illinois, who aided in 1t,
were mentioned in this connection.
So far as is known in Washington,
the president has never given the
slightest indication OF whether he
plans to run again. The practical
politicians among his advisers believe
the time is not yet ripe for any dec
laration on his part. and thus far he
has apparently subscribed to their
counsel. Many things can happen in
the eighteen months or so before a
decision must be made. they point
out.
A new congress is to be elected in
November. Conditions are such that
the administration is considered GER
tain to suffer some defeat, particular
ly in the senate where 33 seats are at
stake and only seven OF them demo
cratic and those from the solid south
where the republicans cannot hope to
gain. The best the republicans can
possibly do is to hold their own in
November.
