JAPAN PROPOSES

BY J. RUSSELL KENNEDY.

b. Cable 20 The star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright, 1927.
TOXIC, April 29.-The government s
bank-ena bling bill. TO be presented in
the special Diet session as solution
to the country's acute financial crisis,
would authorize the Bank Of Japan to
initiate the present currency supply
not to exceed a half billion yeu about
$3.50 900 ,000) to insure payment of de-
positors in banks surviving panic
runs, but it would not aid closed banks
unless they were reopened prior to
termination Of the present moratorium.
LiberaIizes Valuations.
The bill provides for a more liberal
valuation of securities offered as col
lateral for loans intended strictly f9T
payment of depositors when fFs
moratorium is lifted. 1t provides fhe
p commission to examine applications,
thus guarding against misappropSsa-
tion of loans. Repayments of loAns
by banks would have to be made
within ten years and the period OF
loaning would be one year.
A foreign office spokesman as
serts that the Bank Of Formosa's IS
branches will open before the present
the finance office merely states this
semi official institution will receive
the fullest support" but must be
completely separated from the big
Suzuki company, the financial diff
culties of which helped to bring on
the present crisis An endeavOr will
be made to collect loans made in the
past to the Suzuki Company, but no
further support or assistance will be
given the company or its subsidiaries.
Mobiles" Bank to Reopen.
The Fifteenth. or MOBILES" Bank, in
which more than three hundred peers
and imperial princes. as well as the
imperial household department were
large depositors, is now arranging
with it's creditors to reopen within
the period of moratorium. There is
reason to believe the effort will be
successful but officials are not pre-
pared TO give definite assurance. Tn
doubtedly, collapse of the Fifteenth
Bank is causing deepest chagrin on
account of the great names connected
with it throughout the entire finan-
cial history of modern Japan.

FORD TAX BRIEFS.
Insists 1918 Assessment
Figure Does Not Bind
United States Action.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Without attempting to set a valua
tion on Ford Motor Co stock as of
March ], 1918. the Government to-
day filed briefs before the board Of
tax appeals in the S30,000000 Ford
tax suit, declaring that the Internal
revenue commissioner who fixed a
value of that date, was not empowered
to bind the Government to use such
values as the basis for computations
of gains Of stockholders who might
sell their holdings.
The petitioners. who also were to
file briefs late today, maintained that
Commissioner Daniel &. Roper's val
uation Of SO .489.34 per share was cor
rect and that the Treasury was in
hibited from changing the estimate
of the former commissioner for pur-
poses of collecting further taxes.
No alleged action by the commits
sioner bars the Government from its
right TO payment of the true amount
of the petitioners tax liability and
none Of the cases involved the right
or power of commissioner to re-
open final decision or determina-
ton of a predecessor, the Govern
ment brief declares,
Senator Couzens Of Michigan, and
other former Ford minority stock
holders, are involved in the case,
having resisted efforts of the Inter
nal Revenue Bureau to reassess them
for taxes.

He estimates the cost Of the additional
lock and the construction Of reser-

1t will not be necessary to consider
seriously at the present time the con.
struction Of the Nicaraguan Canal,
Mr.. Madden thinks. He feels conf

pose. Mr. Madden has Just returned
from an inspection trip to the Canal
