 British Tax Cut Needed
 X substantial decrease in taxation is all that is required for prosperity to return to Britain, unemployment to disappear, and our social and po- litical internal problems to be all most ended.
 Only by following such a course as I have outlined can the failure of the Geneva Conference of 1927 be prevented from becoming a disaster for civilization. Patience, skill, and inspiration in plenty will be needed by the British statesmen who have to build on the wrcCkage it's collapse has left. At all costs we must not continue our present dangerous course. If we do, there is no hope for the relief Of industry from its pres ent burdens and little hope for the development Of that spirit of mutual confidence which is essential to world peace.

 Following his address, the audi. ence adopted a resolution commend ing the mayor for his fight against British propaganda.

BRITISH MISTAKES
 AT GENEVA SEEN
Viscount Rothermere Says Blame Largely Chamberlain's

New York, Dec. 19.-tP-Failure Of the ri-partite naval conference called at Geneva last summer by President Coolidge is characterized as a deplora ble British blunder by Viscount Rother~ore i'll a cabled dispatch which IS published as the feature article in the Sunday Pic torial Of London.
 Eiscount Rothermore. publisher of numerous English newspapers, who is now in New York. lays the prin- cipal blame upon Sir Austen Cham berlain, British foreign secretary. The dispatch follows, in part:
 By Viscount Rothermere
 Last summer, at the invitation of President Coolidge, the Japanese and ourselves met the Americans at Geneva to discuss the reduction of naval ornaments. or all the mis- takes the present British govern ment has made the greatest was to let that conference fail.
 It failed partly because the Brit ish delegates were wrongly chosen. But the actual responsibility rests upon Sir Austen Chamberlain, the foreign secretary. He seemed utter ly unable to realize the all embrac- ing importance of the conference. II was his business to know that there was a large party of American opin- ion pressing upon the administra- ton at Washington the necessity of enlarging the American Navy so that 1t should at least equal the British Navy.
 The object set forth by Mir. Cool idge in summoning the conference was to ascertain whether it was pos sible to arrive at an arrangement for the further mutual limitation of naval armaments.
 The consequences of the failure of this conference were obvious and fn- evita ble. As it was Sir Austen Cham berlain's business to foresee, 1t 1n- troduced an element of distrust into our dealings with the United States It also left America no other course buL tO Dll iCl navy dI lSaSS tO parity with that of Britain.
 In the light of actual events all this is now complete knowledge. Sir Austen Chamberlain is faced with the fact that the failure of the Geneva Conference has forced upon MT. Coolidge "big navy" program, In his address to congress a few days ago, the President-whose in fuence in such matter far exceeds that of any British premier-strong- ly urged the American Legislature to enlarge the country's fleet. He has given his approval to huge ship building program to extend over twenty years. providing for a total expenditure In that period of about 5S0 million pounds. Since the German navy law of 1897, no such program Of marine armaments has been launched in time of peace. and if we had acted wisely at Geneva, none of this would have happened.
 Cannot Put Back Clock
 We cannot put back the clock. The fatal blunder has been made and we must bear the consequences but first it is of the most urgent m- perial interest that the new British government, whose arrival car not be longer delayed, should issue q declaration of our naval policy.
 In that declaration should be in cluded an explicit repudiation of any scheme for measuring our strength in naval construction against the immensely superior resources of the United States
 The immediate future should see

in. the volume Of new building Is likely and desirable, other construc- ton will probably continue in vol ume."
 "A new record for security issues in 1922 suggests expenditures for la bor and materials" says the report. There will be variations in earn ings between localities, lines of busi- ness and individual concerns. There always are, but the degree of Nari- ation will depend largely on con- trolIable factors of organization and management"
 In summing up the prospects for the first six months of 1928 the cir cular says: We feel that the busi- ness record for the first six months of 1928 should equal the average for Inc entire year of 1927. It may be m 10 the figures for the first half of 1927"

100 RUSSIANS TOLD
 ID LEAVE SHANGHA!
Warned by NatiOnalists That
 They Must Quit City

Shanghai, Dec. 1e OPl-Approxi- mately 100 persons in the Russian settlement were informed by the po- lice yesterday they must leave i'm modiately. The order was given in pursuance of the Nationalist cam paien to deport Communists and other Russians considered Unlesir- able.
 Employes of the soviet consulate, officials Of the Russian Dahl bank. members of the volunteer feet and others accused Of soviet agitation in Nationalist territory received notice Of expulsion. The consular group were kept virtual prisoners.
 Foreign Minister c. C. Wu, who returned form Ranking today, said he had TO official report as 10 ill treatment of Russians m Canton aft- er recapture Of the city from reyo- lutionaries last week. He said any snch ill treatment must be laid to the excitement Of the times and re sentiment of citizens who had seen their relatives abused by the Rus sians and their houses burned down by them.
 Mme. Sun Yat Sen, widow of the first president Of the Chinese repub- lie, has sent a telegram from Mos COW, where she is visiting. to Chiang Kai Shek leader of the National ists, blaming him for the breakdown in Chinese Russian relations.
 Mme. Sun Yat Sen described the break as suicidal. pointing out that her husbands will, which is now the Foundation stone Of the Kuomintang or Nationalist party, demands close eooperation between China and Rus sia. She said she would remain in Moscow as a moral protest unless steps were taken to avert a more se- rious rupture.
 Chiang Kai Shek replied by wire eaying that he and his associates ac- cepted full responsibility for the break but that it was brought about by Russian interference in Chinese affairs.
 He declared that the telegram It. self was evidence that Mme. Sun Yat Sens correspondence had been tam pered with, since no other word from her in response to many telegrams and letters to her in Moscow had been received. He asked her to de- Ter judgment until her arrival in China.
