WHEN Secretary Hull arose. the
~ third to deliver his address, 1t
was expected he would make some
sort of reply to the wal debts de-
mand. But he was silent on that sub
ject, devoting much Of his speech to
argument for a renewal OF the tariff
truce promulgated by President Roose-
welt. This must be followed, he said,
by removal Of trade barriers, elimina-
ton OF excessive tariffs, sterilization
OF exchanges and abandonment Of ma
tionalistic economic policies.
The world cannot longer go on
as it is going ut present. Hull said.

jected the war debts Issue, despite the
fact that 1t was not on the agenda of

elared, must be dealt with before every

Delegates from all parts of the Brit

france were not surprised by Mac
Donald's action, but Secretary Hull
q his brother delegates from the
United States did not attempt to con-
ceal their displeasure with what thev
considered at least d display of poor
taste. Mr. Hull was soon In tele-
phonlc communications with Washing

the conference which was To open the
second day OF the parley was post
poned. Among the other speakers of
that day. however, were Guido Jung

backed up MacDonald's stand.

that there is q preliminary problem

from the war. An armistice was
signed for them at Lausanne. A final

SHUTS was ever more offensive to
Americans, frankly blaming the Unit
ed States for the deplorable plight of
the world.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville
Chamberlain seconded the remarks Of
Macdonald about war debts, and also
said the crisis in world economic con-

TRIAL
NEARS END

FREDERICK, Md, June 2.
Final arguments started in circuit
court here today in the case of
State Senator Emory l.. Coblentz,
charged with accepting deposits
when he knew the bank he
headed was insolvent.
Senator Coblentz, the former
president of the Central Trust
Company which closed in Septem-
ber, 1881, was on the witness
stand most of the day yesterday,
and asserted he was unable to
see why the bank should become
inSolvent."
He did admit however that on
looking back now he could see
that "bad judgment" had been
used in the matter of closing
the bank.

DEMAND CROWS
FOR SALES TAX
LEGISLATION

Congressman who made speeches
against the sales tax during the
last campaign were not elected for
that stand if the protests against
the proposed increase in income
taxes as voiced unanimously by
persons questioned on the subject
by The Washington Times and
other Hearst papers are to be &C
cepted as a criterion.
Like the stand against prohibi.
ton, the vote thus far against
increases in income taxes is so
MANY to nothing! Nobody. ap'
parently, has faith in the false
profits" Of the income tax law.
AS evidence, note the following
expressions of preference as to
methods of taxation.
ROBERT A. SISSON, banker,
says:
"The way to balance the
budget is through the sales
tax. There are no loOphOles
in that.
Paying from 1-3 to Is tax
In that way will not work
q hardship on anyone, either.
The burden will be evenly dis
tributed and will be much fur
ther reaching than is the in
come tax.
another thing in favor or
the sales tax is that when it
Is paid it Is paid, and no one
notices the loss. It is much
easier than for the average
wage Garner to get together
from $50 to $1OO to pay over at
one time"
A GREATER INCOME
GUS SACHLIS, restaurateur,
says:
"The sales tax is by far the
fairer. Paying out from one
half to two cents at time
isn't hard on anyone. And as
everyone, rich and nOt-SO rich,
all have to pay, the burden is
evenly distributed.
"MOre money will be realized
by the Federal Government
under the sales tax, too. Who
ever makes money has to spend
1t sometimes, or someone else
has to spend it. When it is
spent, the Government is sure to
collect its revenue under the
sales tax.
"Under the income tax law,
many with huge fortunes
never pay anything, leaving the
whole burden on the little fel-
low"
Least Painful
SIDNEY LUST, theater owner,
says:
'Tt seems that the sales tax
is the most effective way to col
lect revenue. 1t is also the least
painful form of taxation.
1--WE should not have an addi-
ti0nal sales tax on theater
tickets, because we are already
taxed and have added expenses
due to the necessity for jnStalla-
tion and maintenance of sound
equipment.
However, the general sales
tax is far better than the in
come tax, which has SO many
1OOphOles that many escape
paying anything"

ton, made up largely of independents,
lacked power to bargain with the Gov-

Sales Figures Gathered.
Independent groups, at the close of
the convention, began gathering data
on sales for ammunition in Washington.
Against the claims of the big compa-
nies that they do 95 per cent of the
business in gasoline and oil, the inde
pendents contend it is about evenly
divided.
Another battle freely predicted for
the Washington hearing was one over
majority rule of individual oil pools.
The producers will submit a plan by
which the majority of the owners OF
any pool may enforce production I'M
its on the minority, but took stand
against compelling the minority own
ers to submit to a single management.
Not present on the producers meet
ing, but accounted for, were owners OF
stripper wells-wells which must be
pumped to produce, and which conse-
quently produce at higher cost. The
producers made place for them which
will raise at Washington the question
of what to do with the marginal pro-
ducers. They urged that the Govern
ment fixed price be set high enough
to furnish profit for the stripper
wells
Wages were not settled in the code
meetings, but the code which has been
submitted by the institute proposes
minimum wage scale. Its recommended
tions to be met by producers and re-
finers who did not sign the code, are
for wage minimum ranging from 40
to Al cents an hour.
