 Europe, is recovering her normal economic health and vigor more rapidly than most Americans real ize,' he declared.
 Speaking of the future of Ameri- can foreign trade, Dr. Klein said:
 "There are vast possibilities for Australia. Latin America and Cana da. as rapidly as the exports of food stuffs and raw materials from these countries to Europe increase as result of the improved buying pow CT in the old world.
 "There is a mental renaissance in business Europe. A new economic world has come into being since 1918. The new commercial era in the old world is composed of many factors. Transportation facilities have notably improved during the past year. Not only has there been q widespread expansion of air traffic on the continent, but definite plans have been laid for service from Eu- ropean capitals to the trade centers of Africa and the Far East. and even for combination air, rail and ship facilities to South America.
 "The time for watchful. aggressive initiative for American exports is at hand. The recovery of European business gives our exporters a dou ble incentive to put forth greater efforts in foreign trade. one incen- tive being keener competition and the other the improved purchasing power of our best customer"
 Dr. Klein said that in European business circles there was practically no trace of bitterness or hostility toward the United States.

ARMISIICE DAY PROGRAM
 TO BE DECIDED TONIGHT
Executive Committee of American Legion to Take J'inal Action
 on Arrangements

The manner in which Armisticc day will be observed this year will be decided tonight at a meeting of the executive committee Of Eddy Glover post, American Legion, in the Legion home on Washington street. The Armistice day commit tee, of which William II. Jackson is chairman, held a meeting last night but came to no definite agreement regarding the program.
 Several recommendations will be submitted to the executive commit tee of the post tonight. and from among these will be selected the one to govern the appropriate and prop CT observance of the day.
 At 8 recent meeting of Eddy Glover post, it was voted to hold public observance of the day at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Although the committee appointed 10 arrange for q program did not definitely de eide, the posts wishes will most probably be carried out. In the eve ming, a banquet or dance will be held, it is thought.
 Members of the committee were assigned to ascertain the attitude of the heads of the manufacturing con- corns regarding the observance of the day. Although it has been re- ported from other sections of the country that manufacturers have opposed closing their factories for the day, New Britain factory off cials have let the matter rest in the hands of the Legion committee.
 It is the concenSus among the majority of the committee members that an observance at o'clock ill the afternoon would work no hard ships on the people employed in the factories or on those who direct the policy of the concerns in the city.

 Plea for Bigger Slash
GARNER SAYS TREASURY
 FORECASTS INACCURATE
Senator Simmons, Also, Requests Greater Reduction in Various Glasses - Texan Representative Sees Material Drop In Corporation Levies Rcquired-Manufacturers' National Assn. Represented.

Washington, Nov. 1 R-Secretary Mellon's' estimates of the treasury surplus were declared to be too low by Senator Simmons, North Caro- lima ranking democrat on the senate finance committee, who felt that to- tai tax reduction could reach s400,- o0O,O instead of the 5,000,0 900 recommended by the treasury.
 While he did not differ with Sec retary Mellon as to the exact means of reducing the taxes, Senator Sim mons was of the opinion that the extent of reduction in the various classes to be affected should be greater than that proposed by the treasury. He recommended aboli- ton of all the so-called nuisance taxes, a reduction of the automobile tax and great reduction of the cor poration tax than suggested by Mr. Mellon. He also said that the to- bacco growers were entitled to some reduction of the tax imposed upon heir products.
 Asks Cut For Corporations
 Shortly after the committee con- yened Representative Garner issued ] statement declaring he was con- vinced that Mr. Mellon's' statement Nas an "unansWerab argument in favor of a material reduction of the corporation tax"
 That tax should be reduced to 10 per cent" he said, but instead of reducing it to that figure the president suggests reduction to F per cent, and to devote S50,000,00 10 a reduction to those paying taxes ! In the higher surtax brackets, who already have a very large advantage over the corporations in paying taxes. As between the two. the re- duction should go to the corpora tions."
