CONFER WITH BRITISH CABINET
Cecil and Bridgeman Encounter OPP
position to Concessions.

LONDON, July % R.-Political
interest here today was centered on
the meeting of the cabinet called es.
pecialiy to consider the report of the
two chief British delegates to the
Geneva naval reduction conference.
w. G. Bridgeman. first lord of the
admiralty, who came from Geneva
Wednesday, spent a good part of yes
terday comforting with permanent
officials of the admiralty, Sir Austen
Chamberlain, secretary for foreign
affairs, and some members of the
committee for imperial defense. This
committee was largely responsible for
the framing of the British plan as
submitted at Geneva and for the gen.
eral instructions given to the British
delegates.
Viscount Cecil, who returned with
Mr.. Bridgeman, also had important
interviews with some of the cabinet
ministers.
Nothing official could be learned re-
specting the views of the ministers,
but, according to some political
writer's, there are certain members
who are strongly disinclined to bulge
from Great Britain's position on the
cruiser question as enunciated at
Geneva.
The newspapers had little to say
about the matter today, the Conserva.
tive Morning Post being the only one
to comment.

perceive by what means an agree
ment with the United States may be
reached as long as the American dele
gates urge Great Britain to reduce
her fleet in order to suit the ex.

JERUSALEM, July % Uewish

wall of the temple, commonly
known as the wailing wall, have

The earthquake has called forth

Cecil and Bridegman Confer With
Cabinet-Meet Opposition to
Concessions.

GENEVA, July 22.-The American
delegation to the tripartite naval con.
ference remains adamant in upholdina
the right to build cruisers armed with
S-inch guns, according to information
in reliable quarters here today.
Furthermore. it is understood that
in taking this stand in defense OF
American naval requirements the dele
gates advocate cruisers large enough
TO carry a battery of six S-inch guns
instead of merely one or two. Naval
experts here estimate that cruiser
carrying six S-inch guns should have
displacement of $500 tons.
Might Break OFF Negotiations.
British delegates have been insisting
on limiting secondary cruisers to 6,OOO
tons, with no guns larger than 6-Inch
caliber. Should the British delegates
return from their present visit to Lon
don with mandate from their govern
ment to uphold this demand, it is
feared in some conference circles that
definite breaking off of negotiations
might ensue.
Belief is expressed here that the
British government has been fore
warned that the American delegates
are determined, whatever may be the
outcome, to insist upon the liberty to
construct whatever type of cruiser the
United States may deem essential for
her naval needs.

COOLIDGE STUDIES
TAX CUT PROGRAM
Further Reduction May Touch
$500, 900, 900 Mark,
Is Prediction.
BY j. RUSSELL YOUNG,
staff Correspondent of The Star,

STATE GAME LODGE, BLACK
HILLS, S. OAK, July 22.-President
Coolidge has before him today a def.
mite program for further tax reduc-
tion to the extent of about $300,000,-
600, which has been carefully prepared
by Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, who,
as chairman of the Senate finance
committee, will have personal charge
of the framing of the next tax bill.
While laying his plan for another
generous tax slash before the Presi.
dent Senator Smoot pointed out the
advantages to be gained by giving
Congress an early start and again
urged the assembling of Congress a
month or six weeks in advance of the
regular meeting time, the first Mon
day in December. Besides discussing
his plan for another tax cut and his
efforts to impress upon the Executive
his views regarding an extra session
of Congress, Senator Smoot gave an
outline of what he thinks should be
adopted in the way of legislative
nrogram to be followed when Congress
meets.
Wants Deficiency Bill Passed.
He would like to see the deficiency
bill, which failed to pass when 1t Sot
caught in the eleventh-hour jam al
the last session, disposed of before
anything else is consiG red. Whether
there is an extra session or not, THIS
leftover bill, which has caused SO
much embarrassment and no end OF
hardship by its failure to pass, snouio
be given preference over all other leg
islation. Senator Smoot anticipates
no difficulty in getting this bill thorugh
both Houses when once 1t brought
up for action. 1t is merely a ques'
ton of giving it clear track, he SAID
In this respect, he ente- aims the same
view as expr sed here a few weeks
ago by Representative John @. Tilson
of Connecticut, Republican leader OF
the House. In drawing up his tax
reduction plan. ST nator Smoot insists
that the slash should not exceed $500,
900 900. At least one-half Of this re
duction. according to his plan, would
be brought about by Wering the cor
poration tax rate from 1879, the pres
ent tax rate, to Il per cent.
He proposes elimination of the
dues, admission and other so-calied
nuisance taxes; reduction of the tax
| levy on automobiles from per cent
the present rate, to ~ per cent, and
reduction of taxes on incomes rang
ing from $4,000 to $4,000. In sub
stance, Senator Shoots plan is very
similar to the tax-reduction ideas eX
pressed to the President by Repre-
sentative Tilson when he was here
1t is believed the plan will be gen
orally approved by Republicans OF
both the House and Senate.
| The Senator. however, looks for a
lively fight in both Houses before the
tax bill is finally passed. ut must be
| remembered" Senator Smoot poin.eo
| out, that Congress will be meeting
| in what is referred to as a politica
