ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, December 13.-Demurrers
to AZ of the LOTT suits for the collec-
ton of delinquent taxes that were re-
Gently instituted by Commonwealth
Attorney William c. Cloth were filed
In the clerks ONCE yesterday by the
law firm of Jesse, Phillips g. Klinge.
More than q year ago Cloth filed
approximately 400 such suits in the
name of the Board of County Super
Wsors, but when they were brought
before Judge Howard w. Smith he
ruled that the act under which they
were filed was unconstitutional, and
the Virginia Supreme Court Of Appeals
sustained Judge Smiths decision.
In Name of State.
The present suits are brought in the
name of the Commonwealth of Vir-
ginia, by which means county ofhcials
hope to receive favorable consideration
in the courts. Attorneys for defend
ants and the Arlington County Cham
Der of Commerce have attacked this
method of collection on the grounds
that the costs involved are excessive
and that such action is detrimental to
the proper development of the county.
with the filing of the demurrerS Jesse
charges that he can see no justiflca-
ton for the filing of the suits, to which
Cloth replies by making public copies
OF two letters, one of which he claims
was written by Jesse to State Tax
Commissioner c. H. MorriSsett on Sep
tember "a, 1880, and the other being
Morrissett'S answer, which Is dated
September 27, 1880. These letters,
Cloth declares, more accurately explain
the situation than can be done IN any
other way.
Contents Of Letters.
Jesse's letter to Morrissett asks
whether the latter requested the Com
monwealth's attorney of Arlington
County to institute proceedings in the
name Of the State for collection Of
taxes and, If so. when the request was
made.
Morrissett's reply is as follows:
'I took action under section 403 OF
the tax code of Virginia on July 9,
1929. This was done as q matter of
course, because the policy Of the State
Is to collect its taxes, and it Is likewise
the policy Of the State to encourage
the localities to collect their taxes No
tax system can be successful unless the
taxes are collected. Persons who pay
their taxes are demanding that all
others do the same. Persons who do
not pay their taxes are throwing q
greater burden on the persons who do
pay their taxes"

Ghandi's Tempest in a
Tea Pot" Acts as Brake
on Struggle of Masses

AHMADABAD, India, March II.
-Mahatma Ghandi's tempest in a
teapot gave the first sign of itself
today when the Mahatma and 70
of his disciples began their civil
disobedience campaign" for the COM
plete independence of India. Com
ing from all parts of India, Chan
dis 70 companions consist of nine
teachers, 25 students, IL graduates
and 33 members of the various de-
partments of the Ashram.
Ghandi's gesture of "civil disobedi-
ence" to British imperialism con-
trasts sharply with the revolution
airy determination of the Hindu
masses. Representing the treacher-
Gus Indian bourgeois, Ghandi is max
ing every effort to direct the revolu-
tionary will of the masses into
peaceful and harmless channels.
However, the struggle of the work
ers and peasants against British i'm
perialism is gaining momentum.

the American government is too
"high-minded" to enter into any
political pact" but this is merely
more boloney.
In obscure lines e., capitalist
press is forced to say that other
reasons exist, though they will not
say just what these reasons are. The
New York Times, for example, re-
veals that the American refusal of
the French for security pact" is
not ION principle" against American
imperialist interests. Stimson is
willing ION principle" to supplement
the Kellogg Pact with so-called
consultative pact"
1t All Depends On What For.
In fact the Times goes on to prove
that Stimson 'in consultation with
the other important signatories of
the Kellogg Pact, interviewed to re-
call to Russia and China that they
had promised not to fight" but that
the consultative pact" asked by
France, "here and now, under con-
ditions as they exist" = and I'M
doubtedly with other aims than war
against the Soviet Union, such an
agreement to Consult" American
Imperialism rejects.
Thus it is clear that while America
is ready to rally with all the other
imperialist bandits against the Sow
let Union, it objects to the special
purpose for which France now wants
an agreement supplementing the
Kellogg Pact pledging America to
Consult" the other powers present
at London in case France is threat
ened with war.
1t is apparent that one of the
French demands is that the whole
London agreement be only provi-
sional upon the acceptance of the
League of Nations. This was openly
the demand of the French at the
beginning of the conference, and has
never been surrendered, but only
hushed up, as it was based upon
Frances imperialist ambition as the
greatest power on the continent of
Europe And this collides with all
manner Of rivalries, including Brit
ish, American and Italian imperialist
designs upon increasing their con-
troll on the continent.
War Danger Nearer.
While the chances are that there
will be some pretension to make
the world believe that the conference
has done at least Something" the
net result is that what will come
will be a greater race in ornaments
than ever before with the danger
of an imperialist world war looming
ominously nearer, since the imperial
lists cannot find a peaceable solution
of their insoluble rival interests for
trade and colonies.
With the shakey condition of the
"labor" government following the
recent attacks in parliament and the
growing crisis, the failure OF the
London Conference is an historical
debacle of capitalism marking a
lunge forward of it's main rival
elements into another and terrible
world war.
The only agreement, as noted, is
the common hostility toward the
Soviet Union, but this while inten-
styling the danger of war against
the Soviet Union, cannot mitigate
the inner conflicts between the inn
perialist bandits which has caused
the failure of the naval conference,
however masked the failure is in
secrecy and pretended accomplish
ments."
