Other Links In Chain.
At Peking we find as American Min
lister, Nelson T. Johnson, still another
link in the chain Of career diplomats
surrounding Russia. He entered the
foreign service in 1907 as a student in
terpreter in China. Among his Far East
ern posts were Mukden and Harbin, He
was consular judge in China. In 1918
he was recalled to the State Department
TO take charge of the Division of Far
Eastern Affairs and to advise on East
ern questions at the Conference on the
Limitations Of Armaments. In 1927 he
was appointed Assistant Secretary of
state In the Coolidge administration
and, In 1929, President Hoover named
him Minister to China. He is said to
have known more than probably any

Robert S. Skinner, who has held the
important posts of consul general of
the United States at London and at
Paris, Minister to Greece and to the
Baltic states, now is at ConStantinople,
Mr.. Crews old post. Arthur c. Frost,
still another career man, is found as
consul general at Calcutta.
So there is ring around the Soviet
Union, ring of skilled career diplomats
who know Far Eastern and Russian .af-
fairs and how to deal with them. No
shirt-sleeve diplomats, newly fiedged
from political nests, will handle the
problems which will rise
out Of renewed relations. The shifting
Of these experts into these posts is re-
garded as the final triumph of the ca
reerists. The long-standing practice of
giving the big diplomatic posts to politi-
cal henchmen has. in this important in
stance at least. been abandoned.

Lifting Taxes.

The repeal of prohibition has been
dangled before the American taxpayer
as litter Of his heavy burden. The
revenues from the manufacture and
sale of liquor, it was declared, would
offset taxes now levied and make pos
sible their elimination. In the national
recovery act, authorizing an expendi-
ture of $3,300,0oo,000 for the public
works program planned by the Gov
ernment as its direct contribution to
unemployment, provision was made for
the creation of an amortization fund
from which the cost of the public works
was to be met. 1t was estimated that
225,000,0 would be needed annually.
Special taxes were imposed to raise
this required sum. At the same time
the act provided that If and when ma
tional prohibition should be repealed
and President Roosevelt should pro-
claim that fact, then the special taxes
levied should terminate.
President Roosevelt has let IL be
known that he will not delay issuing
the required proclamation for the end
OF these new taxes, laid upon the
people at the special session of Con-
gress last Spring and Summer. The
one-haf cent per gallon tax on gaso-
line and the five per cent tax on diyi-
dends will be wiped out immediately.
And by July next the taxes ON capi-
tai stock and on excess profits of cor
porations are due to expire. These are
the taxes from which it was predicted
the s225 900, 900 needed for the amorti-
zation OF the public works expenditures
py the Government would materialize.
The President takes the position that
1t would not be keeping faith with the
American people If he should delav the
proclamation which would have the
enect OF putting an end to these
special taxes.
The Federal Government however
has hoped and expected to raise more
revenue from the taxes imposed ON the
manufacture and sale of LIQUOR and
from tariff duties on imported liouors
ana wines than the $225, 900 900 neces-
sary to care for the public works pro-
gram Indeed, estimates of the Weld
from these sources of revenue have run
as high as five or six hundred million
dollars. Whether such expectations
are realized or not remains to be seen
Congress will have to determine the
rate OF taxation on liquors and wines.
The tax rate and the amount of these
beverages produced and consumed are
the factors which in combination will
tell the tale so far as the revenue is
concerned
One OF the arguments constantly ad-
vanced by the opponents of prohibition
was to the effect that the Federal Gov
ernment, and through it the American
taxpayer. should be the beneficiary of
part at least Of the huge sums which
nave Deen going TO the bOOtlegger and
the speakeasy under prohibition. In
levylng the taxes on liquor for the fu-
ture, Government officials are seeking
70 keep them low enough to pre-
vent prices for liquor so high as to
encourage consumers to purchase
from bootleggers They also are seek
ing to place the taxes high enough to
obtain the maximum revenue for the
Government. 1t is a tough problem.
one that must in the end be dealt with
ny the Congress, which levies all Fed
eral taxes.

State Health Commissioner Summarizes Conditions
 With Respect to Disease in Connecticut

Purchasers of parrakeets should demand a certificate assuring them that the bird comes from an aviary free of psittacosis.
 Influenza and pneumonia are always with us, the commissioner said, but another lung ailment, tuberculosis, has been on the de- cline for many years. pr Osborn re- ferred to the drive against tuber- culosis which will be waged throughout the state this fall and urged that parents become familiar with the plans which would be ex- plained in next weeks program.
 Although infant mortality is down to it's record low. the com- missioner stated that welfare workers and public health nurses were reporting an increase in un- dernourishment of young children in some sections. This requires greater watchfulness on the part of those who are endeavoring to aid in the present economic, crisis. he said, since many families en- deavor to weather the storm with- out asking for charity and the chil- dren are the ones who suffer most.
 Of the n-communicable dis eases, Dr Osborn reported, cancer just at present shows Q decline from last year. On the other hand. diabetes, diseases of the heart, nephritis, suicide and acci- dent have recorded increases oveg last year.
 In closing, pr osborn urged eternal vigilance on the part of in- divlduals and health officials in protecting their own and the pubs lie health in order that the pres ent record might be maintained and continued progress made.

SUPERIOR COURT OPENS TO-DAY 32 CASES LISTED

Although western states have been somewhat severely hit, there is no likelihood of any undue in- cidence of sleeping sickness in Con- necticut, Dr Stanley H. Osborn, state commissioner of health, de- clared in the weekly state depart ment of health broadcast today. The statement was made in a gen. enral summary of health conditions in this state in which Dr Osborn briefly alluded to improvements which have taken place in the control of several diseases.
 Within forty years in Connec- ticut, Dr osborn said, typhoid fever has decreased from about 5000 to less than 100 cases per year. Vac- cination is keeping smallpox at very low prevalence. ImmuniZation has cut diphtheria from 5000 to less than 200 cases annually. With the diphtheria season coming on, par ents should have children who are not protected immunized against 1t, pr Osborn urged.
 The comf/sioner also referred to the reduction accomplished in disease and death among infants and to the reduction of water borne | constant watchfulness of water companies and health officials and increased attention to sewage dis posal.
 Health authorities, he said. are able to predict with fair accuracy that there will be no epidemics oi several diseases due to the contro measures which are used. Among these are typhoid, smallpox and diphtheria. Diseases which are like. | ly to have lower incidence thii year than last year are humps measles, scarlet fever and whoop' ing cough. There is no Likelihood of undue incidence of sleeping sick ness or infantile paralysis.
 Rabies Is giving health authorl' ties some worry at the presen time, Dr Osborn reported. urging dog owners to take pets to vet erinarian at the first sign of strange actions. Parrot fever Is another disease which Is causing uneasiness since human infection Is almost al ways fatal and since apparent! well birds may carry the disease
