terial supplier selling a $2s order to the manufacturer would bill the tlater at $2.02, thus collecting for and paying to the government a tax of 2 cents. The manufacturer, working the raw material up into a product saleable at $6 bills it to the wholesaler at $6.06. But be- fore making his tax return, he de- duets the two cents tax collected from him by the raw material sup plier. and remits to the govern ment the remaining 4 cents. The wholesaler marks the product up to $8 and bills 1t to the retailer at total of $8.08.

 .'New, tax levies of any sort can not. expect a hearty peception," !" Mir Whitehead said. None of them is absolutely painless. But we face a fact. not a theory. The federal treasury needs more money, that the 1928 act would yield.

Boston, Nov 1S-A substitute tax plan which, he asserted, would avoid the drawbacks of the present federal excise levies was proposed by its author, R. H. Whitehead, president of the New Haven Clock company, New Haven, Conn, speaking at the Connecticut state session of the eighth New England conference here last night. The plan has been placed before the Manufacturers. association. of Con- neOticut, Inc, of which MT White head is director.
 MT whitehead describes his plan as A "tax on value added by man. ufacture." It proposes an excise tax of one per cent of the amount of each transaction whereby the title of any goods, finished or un- finished, passes from g buyer to a sellere

GENERAL KUNDT

Colonization Plan on pp- per Amazon, With 25O, 900 German Families Is His Scheme
By MARION F. COLLINS

ftJnited Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Nov IS. (UP)Gen- eral Hans Kundt, famous soldier of fortune. is ready to sheathe his sword and .turny*o the blow with the hope of bui1uing a. farm em- pire along the upper Amazon.

 These trips, he explained were to, arrange for his gigantic colon ization scheme. The colony, if real-. ized, will be made up of 250,O0O German families, the general said. He estimated. each family would average four persons. making a total population ofN1, ,000, 900.
 The. general admitted, however, that his financial backing was not yet assured. 1T hope the bank for. international settlements at Basic will finance the project" he said,. explaining that the Reichsbank was forbidden to aid by provisions of it's charter. 2
 General Kundt declared 1t was his plan to produce none of the products of agriculture which now are grown in large surpluses. He mentioned coffee specifically in oyer-production. Large scale farm ing would be introduced, the gen. eral said, with only the most mod- ern farm machinery being used.
 The former Bolivian chief of stan has, been in Germany for. the last two years following his de- parture after the regime of Presi- dent Siles was Overthrown.
 Kundt's colonization project IS .oilly one of many that have been planned or started in South Amer icaa There is a Japanese colony in the Nstate of Para, Brazil. a Men, noite colony in Bolivia and several others in different regions.

a prominent. role, in securing the acceptance of the Dawes plan by the German people. In 1926 he was appointed minister of econ. omics by President von linden burg. and held this office until the death, in October, 1929, of Dr Stresemann, Then he was asked to become his successor.
 As minister for foreign affairs, Dr CurtiusN was called upon to talkc q prominent part in negotiating the Young plan in 1890 at The Hague, and the burden of bringing about a realization of the plan in Ger many was also his.
 He was responsible for for- fnulating the well-known state- .sent concerning a customs union be. .veen Austria and Germany, which created such irritation in some ofithe capitals of Europe last year. and which was finally decid- ed adversely by the World Court. Dr eCurtius retired as minister for foreign affairs last fall. Although no longer holding office, he has de- v6te1 much of his time to the con- sideration of the many political and economic problems which have been weighing so heavily on all European statesmen. During these last few months, Dr Curtius has written series of articles con- cerning these problems and their solution which have been given worldwide publicity.
 Waterbury directors of the Con- necticut League of Nations Associ- ation who have been invited to the 'Curtius dinner are: Mrs Frederick s. Chase. Mrs Harry s. Coe, Mrs John A. Joe. Mrs Joseph J. Davis. Miss Alberta c. Edell, John F. El- ton, Arthur R.. Kimball, Chase Kimball and Horace D. Taft.
