Foreign Minister BRAND
Optimistic Of Settlement
of Troubles.
OLlV E BRANCH
France Inclined Toward
ANY Proposition of Ac-
cord, Says BRAND.

PARIS. Nov. so DISCRIMINATING
threats of trouble between European
nations were given an airing in the
French chamber of deputies today,
particularly friction between France
and Italy.
Several radical deputies professed
to see great many war clouds in
the European sky, but Foreign Minis

the foreign situation, was his usual
hopeful seIfss He even was optimistic
as to the possibility of France and
italy Strengthening out, their diff
culties anicably.
War between the two countries, M.
BRAND declared, was llnthinkable
and impossible Some otner deputies
seemed to think otherwise They re-
peated a few of Premier Mussolini's S
ambitious orationS about Italy's rights
and her dreams of empire. The
radical socialist Montigny went SO
far as to say that there could be
no doubt that italian activity has
turned against France.
italian youth has been worked up
to red hot pitch, said Montigny.
"The Italian newspapers pound away
on the idea that Italy ought and
must .be the greatest nation in the
world. Writers in these papers say
that the league of nations disarma-
ment policy is for Italy a poisonous
tunic of nessus which would paralyze
Italy's movements and therefore is
unacceptable.
There is a systematic effort to
show the Italian people that France
has become their mortal enemy"
The communist deputy Cachin was
even more pessimistic. He saw war
clouds everywhere, even in America
He. pictured Uncle Sam as gazing
greedily at Central and South Amer
ican countries. M. BRAND. III long

has nothing to worry about in the

Washington Views Soviet
Delegates Act as Drama
tic Gesture. !.
PLAN IDEALISTIC
Disarmament Commission
Holds No Hope That Plan
Is Acceptable.

! GENEVA, Nov 80 lRD--soviet Russia
disarm
The Russian delegation to the pre-
paratory disarmament commission of
the league OF nations offered to de-
stroy her land, sea and air forces,
provided other nations would do the
same.
The studendous proposal left the
other delegates bewildered and gasping
for an answer, but with the impression
that Russia definitely had entered the
peace fabric of Europe However, the
general impression, except possibly
among the Russians, is that total dis
armament is an idealistic dream for
the present at least Nevertheless
there is everywhere disposition to
give the soviet leaders full credit for.
their readiness to wipe out armamnts.
That the Russians themselves real
ize their plan to lay down all arms
and make even their manufacture inn
practicable is too idealistic for the
present at least was shown, in the
opinion of many, by the fact that
they voiced their willingness to negot-
late in piecemeal form for the re-
duction Of ornaments If their radical
project proved too revolutionary and
that they did not insist on immediate
consideration in detail of their sweep
ing program. Such consideration was
adjourned until the next session of
the commission early. in 1928
Furthermore although contending
that complete disarmament is the best
guarantee of security, the Russians,
in spirit of Cancellation, agreed to
send an observer to the special com
mittee on security which was created
today This committee will hold its
initial session tomorrow. 1t will
tackle the problem of how best to
increase guarantees of security in or
der that the nations Of the world may
be more willing to cut down ornaments
when the international conference is
convoked, probably some time next
year. 7
The American delegation announced
it would be unable to accept member
ship in the security committee, but
would be happy to give careful con-
Sideration to its recommends tons
when they reach the preparatory dis
armament commission on which the
United States will continue its mem
bership President Loudon of the
commission then voiced the earnest
hope that Washington, like Russia,
would send an observer. Hugh r. VIII

The boy was Lewis BehEer, IL

Beach, which caused a rift in tine
home life of the Lillien6a1lis and
thus furnished a possible motive
for the killing.
He took the stand timidiy,
nothing hut his frightened face
showing above the wood. and his
answers were SO indistinct that
they had to be repeated every
time for counsel and jury.
"Do you live across the street
from the Lilliendahls?" he was
asked and nodded his head.
"YOu went there often to play?"
Another nod.

Administration Is
Clan1pir1g Brakes On
Big Tax Reduction

WASHINGTON Nov 80, (P)--Brakes
were clamped down by administration
leaders today in an effort to prevent
congress from over running what the
treasury regards as the safety lines
in the question of tax reduction.
At the capitol Representative Tilson,
the Republican house leader, backed
up the treasury recommendation for
a cut not in excess of $225, 100000 and
at the department Itself, Secretary
Mellon reiterated that the treasury
figure represented the maximum slice
that could be effected with safety.
While Tilson and the secretary with
held specific reference to the an
nouncement by the chamber OF COM
merce of the United States reiterat
ing its belief that reduction of $400,-
100000 should be authorized, both
contended that it would be dangerous
if congress exceeded the limit pro-
posed by the treasury and favored by
President Coolidge
Secretary Mellon said that he be-
heved the corporation tax, now 13 IL
per cent was too high, and should
be reduced as soon as possible, even
below the II 1-2 per cent figure ap-
proved by the house ways and means
committee for incorporation in the
new tax bill that it has drafted.
The treasury favors an immediate
cut in the corporation rate to II per
cent, but Mr.. Mellon indicated that
his department did not regard the
forthcoming tax reduction as the last
to be. recommended and that this levy
probably would come in for more con-
sideration in a future tax bill.
MI. Tilson declared that with
presidential election only a year off
and with every possible inducement
before the party in power to carry
popular favor, it amazed him that the
Republicans were charged with an
unwillingness to reduce taxes as much

DOUGLAS FOR
CANCELLATION
OF WAR DEBTS
Financier Sure World
Peace Would Be Pro
NOTED by that Policy

"There is no doubt in my mind but
that the most vitally important ques-
ton in the world today is that Of the
European war debts and the greatest
thing that the people of the United
States can do for the lasting peace of
the world is to reconsider the debt
question" This was the statement to
the press today of James S. Douglas,
railroad interests, who has recently
returned to his home here following a
months visit to France where he made
m intensive study of the subject un-
Ter discussion.
Douglas continued: II am very much
disturbed over the debt sitaution and
think that our policy is wrong" He
explained in his interview that the
subject is very deep and that volumes
could be written on it, but he brought
out what he characterized as "high
points" in the situation
Mr.. Douglas said that the beginning
Of the deplorable situation was with
5he Versailles treaty and said, "Presi-
dent Wilson accepted the reparations
provisions of the treaty and excluded
those provisions for the payment OF
war debts on the costs of the war. II
was agreed that each of the nations
involved should take charge of the
payment Of their own war costs while
Germany should make reparation for
damages sustained"
The financier says further that it
is altogether clear that the credits
granted by this country to the various
allies for the purchase of ammunition
and other supplies while the allies held
The front until the American troops
arrived are part of. the war cost to
this country
Douglas asks, How can America
-oday, a victorious nation, ask and
demand of her allies, repayment Of
war costs from which America has
exonerated defeated Germany?"
Mr. Douglas takes the stand that it
IS neither right nor just nor conducive
% friendly relations internationally foI
his country to ask an ally to pay this
;ountry's debts contracted on account
Of the war when the treaty ratified
between this nation and defeated Ger
many is to the effect that America
asks nothing of Germany. This brings
| into play the celebrated slogan OF the
| beace conference that America asks
no spoils of the vanquished.

las to the. statement of Nicholas Muir

Any breaking out of the skin, even

this sulphur preparation instantly brings
ease from skin irritation, soothes and
heals the eczema right up and leaves
the skin clear and smooth.
It seldom fails to relieve the torment
