Italy's official answer.
The Gionale D'Italia says further:
1--WE fear that the Coolidge proposal
tries again to bring up for discus
sion certain problems which. first at
Washington and then at Rome did
not get a warm reception. We do
not object to the idea of Italy's
capital ship tonnage being equal to
that of any other Mediterranean
power, but the same criterion can
not be used in the case of destrOyers
and submarines. which being purely
defensive should be subject to re-
gional agreements. If we were to
limit the construction of these types
of ships we would seriously injure
our defensive powers.
Before beginning the discussion
we must declare two basic princi-
ples-first, the possibility of includ =
ing cruisers in the ratios applicable
to capital ships, and, second, abso-
lutte liberty to construct and use
destroyers and submarines and light
ships.
I'VE are forced to make these
reservations because this is not the
first time an effort has been made
to have weak nations renounce their
possibility of defense under the
cloak of principles of humanity and
disarmament"

This work has been carried on as

the discussions at the first meeting.
''At the meeting in March the en-

political representatives, whose es-
sential duty II Is, SO far as possible, to
conciliate the conflicting views which

believe that such Cancellation Is pos.

tries and other regions, and we believe
1t is best calculated to lead to direct
practical achievement.
Wisdom of Preparation.
My purpose in outlining these two
schools OF thought is to bring out the
necessity for the sort of preliminary
work that is being done by the pre-
paratOry commission and the hope
iessness of trying to call a general
world conference to conclude treaties
until we have reached some measure
of agreement as to the problems to be
discussed.
Until such agreement Is reached. 1t

Husband and Wife Can Adopt
Community Basis.

The Board of Tax Appeals has
ruled that husband and wife may re-
port their income on community
property basis.
The decision was made in the case
of John Henry and his wife of Seattle,
Wash. who desired to divide their
property tax returns to obtain the adj
vantage of lower surtax. The board.
however, ruled that it does not permit
the general practice of husband and

tongue dare utter words so bias
phemous: words uttered simply
like other human sounds; words
that struck into her mind like

folded her arms swiftly against

She felt the baby torn from

listened to him, dazed, Mortified,
