The charge that Secretary of the Treasury Mellon,
BY accident or design. has entered upon a policy that
eventually will lead to serious agitation for cancella-
tiOn of the foreign debt owed to the United States,
was charged last week BY Congressman John Garner
just prior to leaving Washington for Texas.
In an Interview given press representatives the
Texas congressman charged that Secretary Mellon has
consistently opposed tax reduction and would prefer
ia apply the surplus TO the domestic debt. Garner con-
tended that when the domestic debt is wiped out,
Europe will immediately seek relief from her obliga-
tions to tee United States, and that the debt cancella-
ton proponents will use this as the basis for their
agitation to grant Europes demand.
I'VE are proceeding to collect in Europe and apply
ing those collections to reduction Of our domestic OBJ
legations" Mr.. Garner said. when the domestic debt
is down to reasonable proportions the international
bankers Will move 10 cancel in part or in whole the
billions Of dollars that Europe now owes the United
States. Europe eventually will present this demand.
Her financiers are merely awaiting the time when the
domestic debt has been reduced, and Secretary Mellon,
by using the surplus for this purpose, is playing d.
rectly into their hands
MI. Garner stated that debt cancellation i agitated
from time TO time in Europe and that occasional rum
bles reach across the Atlantic, As was evidenced two
years ago when proponents Of cancellation carried on
= vigorous campaign in all parts Of the United States.
The recent tax reduction bill will Top off taxes to j
total Of S22s, 100000 according TO the official estimate
cf congress, but experts believe the total may run as
low as Si55.0O0.0O0 when all Of the rates have been
given their full application. The latter estimate
would mean . larger treasury surplus.
Mr.. Garner predicted that the treasury surplus for
the fiscal year ending with June this year will he $780,
co.00o, or more. whereas leaders in congress estimate
Il at not more than saol 100000. Regardless Of which
may be right. the American public feel that the sum
il far too large to be diverted from national business
channels. and that the decision Of the administration to
maintain rates merely to create a surplus is not sound
national policy.

Does Not Intend to Make polit-
cal Speech

syracuse, N. Y, Aug 80 lF-After

fed of his selection as democratic
presidential candidate. Gov. Smith
today was the central figure of
gathering Of state politicians here to
name a new party chairman and
also the daily throng that is turning
out for the New York state fair.
A meeting of the democratic state
committee was called for early IN
the day formally to ratify the selec-
ton of NJ. William Bray, of Utica

scenes there had been some IA.
that an entire state ticket would be
discussed, but this could not be con-
firmed,
An appearance at the state fair
later In the day, with a brief non

weather, was all that confronted the
governor before his return to AL

plans still are indefinite and he in
slsts he will have nothing to reveal
about his speech making tour until
one OF three distinct routes mapped
out for him is finally chosen.
Addressing several hundred Of
ficials Of New York state farm or.
carnations last night at the Onon-
daga Golf and Country club, Gov
srnor Smith adhered to his promise
not to discuss national issues and the
farm question from a wide view

He confined his talk Of half az
hour to costs of local government:
and an appeal for a reorganization
