 BRITISH INCOMES
FRENCH GOVERNMENT REPAYS BRITISH STOCKHOLDERS IN

LONDON, Feb. 25. (P)--A pro- posal that British investors deriv- ing their incomes from investments made abroad be made to pay higher tax rates than citizens making their money from invest ment in companies originating in Great Britain, her dominions and colonies was put before the House of Commonse informally by Sir Cooper RaWson, conservative.
 Sir Cooper asked Philip Snow den, Chancellor of EXchequer, if such a procedure would not have the effect of driving more British capital into home industries and therefore help stimulate trade. MT. Snowden replied, expressing doubt as to whether the plan was practical.
 MT. Snowden also was question ed as to what action he had talk en with respect to the French governments decision to repay British bondholders loans in francs worth o4lly about one fifth of the value of the franc when the loans were made.
 MT. Sn0Wden said he had done everything in that connection but that the outlook was not very bright.

NEW DELEGATE TO
 CONGRESS MAKES
 STRONG MEDICINE
JUDGE WICKERSHAM TELLS WHY PROGRESS SHOULD
 NOT BE IMPAIRED

SEATTLE, Feb, 26 (P-Judge Wickersham, Delegate-elect from Alaska to Washington, D. C., who is enroute East to spend the summer, declared the recent S500,- OOO cut in the Alaska Railroad fund, will kill the goose that laid the golden egg.'
 The people of Alaska are all ready required to pay the highest rates anywhere under the Amer ican flag and to increase them would be putting an unfair hand icap in the road of the Territory.
 Since 1867 the Territory has exported sl,762, ,968,4e6 in fur fish and minerals and imported $907 07,873,941 worth of products making the trade more than two and one-half billion dollars, a huge sum to be taken from a wilder ness by a few thousand pioneers.
 But this is 8 mere triekle to the great stream of wealth which will flow into the United States if Alaska's development is unim- paired by such steps as the pro- posed increase of rates on the Alaska Railroad
 Judge Wickersham will have no duties at Delegate until Decem- ber unless a special session of Congress is called He intends to .go to Washington in a few weeks by way of California

ALASKA CABLE |S IN CONGRESS NOW:
 NAY SELL CHEAP
RADIO ACT AS CONFUSING AS THE PROHIBITION LAWS
 IT APPEARS

WASHINGTON, Feb, 26, tF- Identical bills authorizing the Secretary of War to sell to the highest responsible bidder the Alaska cable, were introduced in the House and Senate at the re- quest of the War department.
 Under the bills the department i.s empowered to sell the fed- eral interest in the properties, either whole or in part after due advertisement.
 Congressional action at this session is regarded unlikely.
 Chairman Reed of the Senate military committee said no ac- ton has been taken as the com mittee will probably await House action.
 Under the terms of the Radio act of 1927 it is construed as pro- nibiting the purchase of the sys- tem by any person or firm not engaged in the communication business, by wire or radio.
 Another provision said it's OPT eration would be construed to violate the Radio ac. unless a monopoly was created.
 Purchase of the system would be open only to United States citizens or corporations whose controlling interests were in the United States

To-Day's Sport
 P ar a d e
BY HENRY McLEMORE


 United Press Staff Correspondent New York, August 19 - (UP) - It is amazing how reckless your average fight fan is with some- body else's countenance.
 This willingness to bear up bravely while another guys chin, nose and stomach are being crooked high, wide and handsome. never was better illustrated than in the customers demands that Jimmy McLarnin forget all about boxing in his bout with Billy Pe- night, and slug it out from the bell.
 | The customers, stout-hearted to a fault, have expressed themselves as perfectly willing to have James's nose flattened and his ears pinned back, if only James will make an open scrap of 1t.
 | JimIny's No Fool
 Such bravery, such willingness to absorb punishment, is. of course, highly commendable. But it is very unlikely that McLarnin will give the boys and girls a chance to display their fortitude. Of course it would make for an elegant brawl if he did. But the little Vancouver Irishman has brains, and brains and reckless ness are not sorority sisters.
 Jimmy unless he makes a last minute change in plans, will enjoy the same tactics tomorrow night as he did in whipping Petrolle here g. few months back. That is, he will jab the Fargo boy groggy. flinging his dynamite right hand only when he is sure he can't miss.
 Such a safe and sane program is certain to cost the Vancouver bomber votes in the next popular ity contest. But Jimmy would be crazy if he fought Petrolle in any other fashion. It was quite right and proper for Jimmy to wade into Petrolle the first time they met, for he didn't know of the tremendous kick that rode in Billy's dangling left arm, but, if picking himself off the floor no less than nine times that night did not teach him that discretion is the better part of valor, then - well. his inqu is less than dazzy Vance's batting average.
 The Old Onus
 Jack Hurley, Petrolle's astute manager, knows full well that his boys only hope of victory lies in McLarnin's coming out there in the middle of the ring and swap ping punches. If Hurley doesn't | know this, then why on earth did he attempt to get McLarnin mad by calling him everything from a bum to a quitter?
 You never could convince us that Hurley, a man with his full share of brains, is sincere in call ing McLarning yellow. A man has got to have plenty of what it takes to get up and keep coming in as McLarnin did in his first shot at Petrolle. Baby-Face was up and down like an elevator in that scrap but he was still winging away at the end.
 Lefty Bill Walkers manhandl- ing of the St Louis Cardinals this season is a tipoff on what that other mighty southpaw, Lefty Grove, is likely to do to the Red Birds in the worlds series - Par don, the annual autumn classic.

Frankie Conroy donned his mask and protector last night at the Thomaston High School Athletic Field for the first time in six weeks and upheld the offerings of "Yaca" Blinn, North End Thomas club hurler, who pitched his club to a to 1 win over the Clock Town Cardinals.
 Harry Melvin, star fly-hawk for the Wingdale Hospital nine which plays here tomorrow, hit hard for the Tommies, his two bagger driv- ing in two runs. Eddie Lyons, Tribune first baseman, played fine game at the initial sack for the locals.
 Blinn held the home club to four scattered hits while the N. E. T.. boys pounded Yves Anderson, the no-hit, no-run hurler, and Tony Tripaldi for eight safeties. The lat ter finished the game succeeding anderson in the fifth.
