TAX RAISE THREAT
SHOCK TORRANCE.
Budget Deficit Foreseen Un-
less Revenues Are Increased
Next Year.
BY CAMILLE LENTERCIER.

~ Gable 10 The Star.
PARIS, France, March II. - An
nouncement by the government that
next years budget will have a deficit
unless taxes are substantially increased
comes as shock to the public and may
place the cabinet in difficult position.
One year ago France had brilliant
financial situation, with large budget
SURPRISES and abundant treasury re-
serves. The major preoccupation of po-
1ittcians then was "how to spend all
that money" They drafted many
schemes for the best utilization Of the
treasury surpluseS, but were unable to
agree which was the best.
In the meantime the surpluSeS have
vanished. There Is no need now for
more expenses, but for more taxes, and
this ID an unpleasant situation for poll
ticianS . year from the general cleo
tons.
Lavish Use Of Revenue.
This reverse is, Of course, partly a
consequence of the world depression,
the effects of which are now felt here,
but it is also a consequence Of the
financial demagogy of the Chamber Of
Deputies which Is becoming every year
more lavish with the taxpayers money.
One of the main causes of the eventual
deficit Is the law passed last year, de-
spite the governments warnings, pro-
viding for pensions to all former soldiers
in the war, even to those who were
never on the firing line.
On the other hand, while attempts to
reduce state employees salaries are being
made all over Europe, the French depu-
ties have Just increased the salaries Of
several categorieS Of state employees.
The Laval government refrained from
the use Of strong hand to check these
demogogic measures, but now it Is pay
ing for its magnanimity by facing the
unpopular task OF proposing new taxes.
Air Lines In Distress.
This Is the more dangerous for the
cabinet IS it has just been severely
shaken by the fact that Minister Of
Finance Pierre Etienne F1andin has had
to admit publicly that he has long
been counsel for all the French air
transport companies which are sub
Sidized by the state. One Of these
companies, the Aeropostale, which
operates French lines in Western Africa
and South America, is bankrupt and
IAA4CC R44N&bC 0fA4AAS W4llCu WEIE COu@
nected with it suspended payments this
morning.
The government and the Chamber
Finance Committee are now trying to
save the French African and South
American air lines. The government
has proposed q new contract between
the state and the company securing
the controlling power for the state, but
the deputies have refused.
1t is openly said in the chambers
Hobbies that M. F1andin, who has re-
Gently been paid counsel for AeropoStale,
- unqualified to protect the states
interest against the same company,
Premier Pierre Laval tried to induce
~. Flandin to resign, but he refused.
The feeling in the chamber Is so strong
that the life Of the whole cabinet Is
endangered.

Johns Hopkins Physicians
Foresee Cancer Cure

The physician added that can
GER is on the increase and seems
now to be centered principally in
the digestive area of the body.
In past years, he declared,
physicians and surgeons have
been unable to diagnose cancer
in it's inception and when it be-
comes apparent in the form of
the horrible pains attendant on
the disease, it is too late to do
anything except make the pa
tient as comfortable as possible.
Now, however, he said, a posi-
tive diagnosis can be made and
the condition rectified. The dis
ease first manifests itself in a
capsule form that at the start is
nothing more than a small lump
that does not give the sufferer
any pain.
Later, this capsule breaks and
the malignant growth fastens its
fibers to healthy tissue and grad
ualIy spreads to various parts of
the body.
It was formerly believed that
the growth extended through the
blood stream.
Now, however, surgeons have

helplessness of science in trying
to combat cancer will probably
be removed as medicine is on the
verge of what is believed will
prove a cure for the malignent
ailment in its various forms.
For years physicians and sur.
geons in all parts of the world
have been seeking some means
to overcome the scourge of man,
and now new discoveries regard
ing body tissue at Johns Hopkins
University offer hope of checking
the increasing spread of cancer.
DR.. Lay Martin, of the Amerl-
can College of Physicians, told
more than 1000 members of the
organization here. yesterday of
the remarkable discoveries made
at the university by men who
have devoted their lives and
careers to research lin this field
of medicine.
DR.. Thomas r. Brown, of the
university, who preceded DR.. Mar
tin, declared that science has
finally determined that cancer,
if diagnosed in it's early stages,
may be cured by surgery.

Fearing the proposed library IN
Georgetown might be lost unless
the plans and specifications for
the building are drawn i'm

urged the Municipal Architect to
employ outside aid in getting the
work under way.
It was said recently that the
architects office would not be
able to start on the plans for
about six months as other mat
ters Of pressing need must come
first.
In the past, according to mem
bers of the association, many I'M

viii Support Party Which
Adopts Their Program of
Relief, LaGuardia Ayers

Progressives in the House will
attempt to dictate a program Of
unemployment relief legislation,
Representative LaGuardia (R0 of
New York, disclosed today.
With the House almost equally
divided between the Republicans
and Democrats, enough Progress
siveS have pledged themselves
thrugh exchange of letters to
throw the House control either to
Republicans or Democrats, La
Guardis said.
Hold Power Balance
While the Progressiyes have
frequently discussed use Of the
balance of power they hold in
the fight for the speakership,
LaGuardia indicated the move
ment has been solidified.
A progressive program will be
laid before leaders of both par
ties within the next few weeks.
The group which accepts it will
have progressive support, he said.
This legislative program in
cludes: Passage of Wagner unem-
plOyment bill, vetoed by President
Hoover; National unemployment
Insurance system supported by
workers, employers, and Govern
ment: labor anti-injunctiOn bill,
and Government operation Of
Muscle Shoals as a test of the
"pOwer trust" issue.
May Increase Taxes
This program. LaGuardia en-
phasized, is the minimum that
will be demanded. Increased tax
alton of the rich also may be
proposed, he indicated. He added:
"The country is in an ecOnO-
mic crisis and the welfare of
100000 unemployed is of far
greater Importance than the
political fortunes of any man
