KingsfOrd-Smith
May Aid Chinese

LONDON, Feb. r. U.P) - Plans
for an Australian air squadron to
lead China's air forces, with the
Australian flyer Charles E. Kings
ford-Smith as commander-in-c -chief
of China's air force, we're reported
TO the Daily Herald today from
Sydney.
The correspondent said Kings
ford-Smith admitted he had given
Chinese officials a price for the
purchase of his fleet of airplanes
used by Australian National Air
ways. He declined to discuss the
question of his own services except
TO say he was "out of a job" ano
would consider any offer.
According TO the Herald's report

lieved he would accept an advisory
post with the Chinese air force

committee would present bill
that would accomplish this.
On top of the numerous sugges-
tions it has received, the commit
tee today got several from a prom
inent Democratic leader, leading
prohibitionist, former Secretary of
Treasury William Gibbs McAdoo.
The most novel of these we're a
100 per cent tax on the bootleg
and narcotic trade and a tax on
passports to encourage Americans
to spend their money at resorts in
the United States.
McAdoo cited estimates of annual
profits of bootleggers of 81 100000
900 and said the government could
reap large revenue from this
source.
Such tax, combined with the
inquisitorial power possessed by the
bureau of internal revenue, is one
of the most effective weapons that
could be employed to destroy the
bootleggers and narcotic dealers" "
he said.
1T may not be possible to collect
100 per cent of the illegal income,
but certainly the wholesalers-the
crux of the problem-can be reach
ed; and if they should be driven
out of business, the small operator
or retailer will find it difficult to
ply his nefarious trade.
Those who argue that the gov
ernment should not tax unlawful
business, fail to realize that if in
comes from illicit operations are
exempted from or permitted to es-
cape taxation while incomes from
lawful operations are not. the GRIM
inal is rewarded and the honest
man is punished"
McAdoo opposed the committee's s
plan to balance the budget entire
ly by taxation. He advanced that
40 per cent be met by taxes and
so per cent by issuance of long
term bonds. He suggested an i'm
port tax on oil and gasoline, but
opposed a sales tax on gasoline
He does not favor lowering exemp-
tions and is for an increase in sur
taxes on incomes over 100000.
He also advocated luxury taxes
and tax on initial offerings OF
foreign securities in this country.

MAD TRAPPER'
STILL ELUDES
HIS PURSUERS

AKLAVIK. Northwest Territory
Feb. IL. U.pSThe game of hare
and hounds that Albert johnson,
crazed trapper, has played with a
band of Royal Canadian mounted
police went on today with the odds
lengthening that death would be
the winner.
Johnson, wanted by the officers
for Staying a constable and wound
ing another, was swallowed up in
the endless Arctic tundras north
of here. Bitter winds whipped
hard-frozen snow against the faces
of the possemen like steel pellets
and forced them to slacken their
hunt.
They feared johnson, fleeing
alone through the wilderness, would
lose his life in the raging storm
He had few supplies but carried
the powerful iifle with which he
fought off police attacks.
With members of the possee
holding close together for their
own safety, they believed johnson
had little chance of surviving long
exposure in the frozen bush coun-
try where he took refuge.

HEAD OF STATE
AGRICULTURE IS
VALLEY VISITOR

Il am particularly delighted to
be in Imperial Valley at a time
when your water program has been
carried out to so successful a con-
clusion." declared Dudley Moulton,
state director of agriculture, in an
interview this morning with a Press
reporter.
Expressing his pleasure in the
outcome of the election on the ALI
American canal contract, Director
Moulton gave his opinion that it
would mean great step forward in
the progress of the valley. Cali
fornia's water problem is one of
her greatest and a sound water
program is essential to her future.
Everywhere I go in the state, find
the problem of water conservation
and 1 am glad to see that Imperial
Valley is falling in line with the
other districts of the state in es-
tablishing water conservation
plan.
Moulton has been in the valley a
number of times although this is
his first official visit. He empha-
sized that the fact that each time
he visits the county he likes it bet
ter and that his interest in solv-
ing the local problems is keen. He
pledged his active cooperation
whenever possible in helping I'm
perial Valley in its agricultural
program.
Agricultural commissioners from
the IL southern counties are hold
ing their annual meeting this morn
ing in the agricultural commission
er's office at the court house, with
Moulton as an honored guest.
In discussing the meeting, Moul-
ton said that these sessions always
develop something of benefit to the
counties concerned and that in all
probability matters of quarantine
regulation would be discussed.
This afternoon Mr.. and Mrs.
Moulton will visit the county fair
as will the commissioners.

ANNIVERSARY OF
POPE PROMPTS
PEACE APPEAL
BY THOMAS B. MORGAN
nited Press Staff CnrreSnnnden

tCcS Correspondent
VATICAN CITY, Feb. 12.-Pope
Plus XI appealed today for peace
which now seems to escape the
searches of men," His message
was broadcast through the Vatican
City radio station on the tenth an
niversary of the Pope's coronation.
Unfavorable conditions prevented
the speech from being picked up
across the Atlantic.
The pontiff's remarks we're con-
sidered an inspiration to world
disarmament delegates now meet
at Geneva.
The Pope stood in the left aisle
at st. Peters, near bronze statue
of the saint. The pontiff, wearing
his pontificial robes and his triple
crown, was carried to st. Peters
on a throne chair in a colorful
scene suggesting the court of po-
tentate of ancient times. He was
preceded by Swiss guards in bril-
liant uniforms. and bearers of the
"flabellae" waved their large
ostrich feather fans on each side
of the chair.
The Pope addressed his remarks
TO many of our dear sons who
desire to hear from afar-as you,
my dear sons, who are near me
the voice of the Father and have
from the vicar of Christ the word
of faith and comfort
The Pope then prayed in Latin
and gave the apostolic benediction,
"urbis ct orbis,' or to 1.-The city and
the world" Crowds in Rome ana
near the Vatican heard the speech
through loudspeakers. Many knelt
in the streets.
Cardinal laurent stood at the
Pope's right, Cardinal Bisleti at
his left, and Monsignor Carlo
Respigho, master of ceremonies, be-
hind the throne.
The Pope spoke in a low voice
but showed evidence of his excel
lent health for his "a years.

DAWES SWINGS
INTO ACTION ON
CREDIT PROGRAM

WASHINGTON, Feb. -. UP) =
Congress today Speeded up Presi-
dent Hooyer's new relief measure,
with both house and senate lead
erS applying pressure to the meas
ure for liberalized federal reserve
credit that should bring action in
both branches next week.
The senate banking and currency
committee quickly reported the
Glass bill today after brief ses-
sion. Meanwhile President Charles
G.. Dawes of the reconstruction fl
nance corporation, urged prompt
action by the house committee in
his old hell and Maria style, pound
ing on the table and reSorting to
frequent profanity.
After the house committee had
closed its doors to reporters, the
picturesque Dawes, pulling on his
underslung pipe, let down the mask
to reveal the vigorous and colorful
character that the country knows.
He told members of the commit
tee very plainly, with frequent
banging of his fist upon the table,
of financial conditions throughout
the country that demand immedi-
ately the relief which the admins
tration would afford through the
GlaSS-Steagall bill.
After Dawes had testified, the
notes of the official house reporter
were torn up, so there would be no
record of the story he told.
The committee opened its doors
after his statement, and Governor
Eugene Meyer appeared to tell the
members of the widespread bene-
fits which he said would accrue to
the country from the proposed lib
eraliZation of the federal reserve
system to yield more credit.
Meyer estimated the federal re-
serve liberalization would release
s750,000,000 of "impounded gold"
to broaden the credit facilities of
the country.
