Premier Laval admitted the con-
versations were helping to Clarity
the situation.
The cabinet was scheduled to
meet this afternoon to discuss the
situation.
The position of the French Cab
met ministers, as during the Mel
lon conference, has been made ex-
tremely difficult by the hostile
attitude of the French press to-
ward Germany.
However, it was believed today
that the French government
would eventually have to make
concessions to world opinion as
it did during the previous con-
ference. With Great Britain,
Italy, and the United States
agreeing that aid is necessary for
Germany, it was evident today
that France would be unable to
dictate terms in a spirit of war
time aggresSiveneSs.
The distressed condition of
banks in central European states
in which France has large in
terests was expected to weigh
heavily in favor of some sort Of
concession on the part of France.
France might be willing for Ger
many to go into bankruptcy, but
she could hardly afford to have
Poland, Rumania and Jugoslavia
go down, it was said.

TAX LEVY

Clarence H. Mackay, president
of the Postal Telegraph Company,
and father-in|aw of Irving Berlin,
Broadway writer, today asked
the United States Board of Tax
Appeals to redetermine a defici-
ency assessment of $3.50 levied
against him for taxes during 1929.
The extra tax involved his
transfer of 1875 acres of land at
Highpoint, N. c.. to that town.
The land was taken through con-
demnation proceedings for a mu-
nicipal reservoir, and Mackay
claims that the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue failed to take into
consideration that a large part of
his 1,363-acre tract might have
been damaged by the condemna-
ton.
The amount of tax previously
assessed against him was $394,1
on a net income of $2,621,349 for
1929.

HOUSTON. Tex, July 16 U.N.SD.
The dreams of more than 1000
persons who had hoped to inherit
fortune each from an estate
supposed to be worth in excess of
$3.50, 900, 600 were at least tempo
rarily shattered today.

munieating with descendants from
the family of former President
James Buchanan. telling them
the estate exists and outlining his
plans to reclaim it. said today he
had ceased all operations in con-
nection with it.
He announced several months
ago he was about to institute
court action to claim the estate
and that it would be converted to
cash and divided among some
1000 heirs he had traced down.
The estate, he said. consisted
of valuable property in eight
States, some Of it in the heart of
large cities. The properties, he
said, were leased by the Buch-
anan family more than 100 years
ago for 99-year termsI and that
it now was reverting to the orig
inal owners, as the leases had ex-
pired.
After an interview yesterday
with postal inspectors, Buchanan
signed statement asking the
Postoffice Department to mark

nounce that he had ceased all

supposed estate.

mestic capital, is now sinking
into the sea of world depression
while 6O,OOO,OOO panic-stricken
people are struggling with one
another and everybody else to
save themselves from drowning
under the collapsing national so
cial envelope.
Specter of Communism
In the struggle, millions of Ger
mans are embracing Communism,
Fascism, Socialism. militarism and
other "isms" previously unheard
of. Overhanging all is the specter
of anarchy, chaos, civil and even
foreign war threatening to engulf
all Europe.
On my recent frequent trips to
Berlin and other German cities
1 found the man in the street
contemplating the prospect that
BOlshevism and even war would
be better than conditions today.
Already rival private armies
are tramping through the coun-
try. Rival uniforms dominate
the scene. with the stage set for
civil war. Government, police
and army authorities are fully
prepared, however, to cope with
disorders and possible "putsches"
aimed at the overthrow of the
existing regime.
Only the towering figure of
the octogenarian President Won
Hindenburg is able to command
comparative order and events are
pushing him to possible resigna-
ton.
Causes of Crisis
Causes OF the existing crisis
may be summed up briefly as
follows:
1-Excessive reparatiOnS.
2-German socialism.
3-The fight of German prop
ertied classes. surviving eIe-
ments of the old regime, against
both of the foregoing.
Germany was partly pushed
and partly jumped headlong into
the crisis. She has gone through
a spending spree unprecedented
in the history of nations. 1t is
a wonder she has lasted so long.
Government expenditures in
Germany rose from $1,75O, 900, 900
annually before the war to more
than $4,000, 900, 900 and increased
another $1,5OO 100000 during the
last five years.
Part of the spending was i'm
posed by the war victors, who on
the principle that "the Boche
pays ALL" dreamed of collecting
$33, 900, 100000 or half of Ger
many's entire pre-war wealth in
Preparations" though the actual
war damage to the civilian popu-
lation of the allies was only ST.
