HOOVER SAVING
PLAN To HAVE
CAPITOL AID
FactionaI Leaders Declare
Willingness to Cooperate;
Borah Expects Tax Increase

While blaming the Hoover Ad
ministration for the $4,000, ,000,-
600 Congress just ended, factional
leaders on Capitol Hill today Of
fered to cooperate with the Presi-
dent in slashing Federal expendi
lures, so an increase in taxes may
be avoided.
Both insurgent and Democratic
spokeSmen pointed out that Con
greSS appropriated S27 785, 900 less
than the Budget Bureau recon-
mended, and declared it was the
persistent policy of Congress to
appropriate less money than the
Administration requested. Senator
Borah (R0 of Idaho said:
"The record shows that Con.
greSS has appropriated less than
the budget recommendations at
each session for the last two
years.
BOrah to Cooperate
Il am willing to cooperate in
reducing appropriations and as
a start will fOregO the $9O,O0O,-
900 which the Administration
wants for building the Navy.
But in spite of appropriations,
I still feel there will be an in
crease in Federal taxeS-but not
until after the next election"
Senator Harris (DO of Georgia
charged the Administration had
INDUCED in a "Saturnalia of ex-
travagance," and warned Federal
expenditures would have to be
materially reduced or the tax
burden would overwhelm the peo-
pie. He declared:
"Under a Republican Presi-
dent, the last Congress-, con-
trOlled by the Republicans, ap-
prOpriated S1O,248,819,O 900, which
is tax of about S4O5 on each
family. No matter how this
burden of taxation is collected,
it will come out of the pockets
of those who toll for a living.
Any economy program must
start in the White House."
Farm Relief Escaped
There was considerable discus
sion on Capitol Hill over the
Presidents declaration that "de-
mands of sectional and group in
tereSt" must be resisted. 1t was
generally felt he did not refer to
agricultural relief, since he rec
commended a $500,000, 900 appro-
priation for the Federal Farm
Board last year, and has indi-
Gated he will stand by" that or
ganization in its present relief
operations.
Thus far, Congress has appro-
priated but $350,000,000 Of the
half billion fund originally author

U. s. State Department Sees Murkden
Incident Not Against Peace Pact.
The American Government looks
upon the clash of Japanese and Chi
nese troops in Manchuria as a conflict
between individuals rather than gov
ernmentS, and accordingly sees no
present ground for invoking the KEEL
Iogg- BRAND pact for Remuneration OF
war.
The State Department said yesterday
it was following the situation carefully,
but that on the basis of news thus far
there seemed to be no indication of any
violation of the treaty.
Of1cials contraSted the situation with
the trouble between Russia and China
some time ago which led the United
States to remind the two countries that
they had signed the Kellogg BRAND
agreement and asked all other sigma
tories to use their good offices to pre-
vent war.
III Feeling Of Troopers.
In the Sino-Russian affairs, ofIicials
said, the State Department was salts
fed that the soldiers were acting under
direct authorization Of their govern
ments. In the present instance, it Is
felt the fighting Is wholly unauthorized
and results largely from Ill feeling be-
tween the Japanese and Chinese troop
ers in part growing out Of the recent
execution Of japanese ofncer in Man
churia.
1t was indicated that If developments
showed the governments were involved
and warfare threatened this country
again would remind the contending
nations Of their agreement and also
appeal to the other signatories Of the
pact.

time, expressed its belief that Ameri-

There was slight recovery late and

what nervous. The exchange opened
this morning in the face Of political
uncertainties at home and depressing
news from Wall Street, but the MEM
bers raised cheer as the doors opened
at the usual time.
See No Cause for Alarm.
Financial experts in the early edi-
tons OF the Sunday papers call today's
losses unfortunate" but insist there is
no cause for alarm for the pound ster-
ling or the London market generally.
The spasmodic liquidation which so
marred the Inauguration of the Satur-
day market is not to be taken serious
"" the Sunday Times says. The pa
per asserts that a halliday session is
too short for the best market to be
discovered when large blocks of stock
have to be negotiated.
A loss of nearly E1 600, 900 in Amster-
dam on London was being generally
ascribed to difficulties of Dutch bank
ers and not to any lack Of confidence
in the British situation.
Early Election Urged.
There is no question Of a flight
from the pound" the Sunday Observer
comments, while the Sunday Graphic
declares that "as q matter of fact tho
money market In London is absolutely
calm."
The majority Of the Sunday papers
agree, nevertheless. that the sooner the
question Of date for q general election
is settled the better it will be for the
country's financial security.
