PLEDGE MADE
TO LIFT TAXES
Administration Promi S e S
Action Soon as Revenues
.e...>. Will Permit -,
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May II. CUP
The Roosevelt administration
promised last night that forthcOm-
ing federal tax increases will be
lifted as soon as revenues permit.
This word of hope came from
Director of the Budget Lewis
Douglas after a protracted con
ference with President Roosevelt
at which they discussed the rec
concentrations the chief executive
will make to congress today for
taxes to finance his $4,000, OOO,-
600 public works program.
The youthful budget director
places much reliance on taxes
from liquor to help balance the
budget when the 18th amendment
is repealed and said the president
shared his optimism.
"These new taxes will be lifted
as soon as revenue is provided IN
other directions" Douglas said. i
hope this can be accomplished
through repeal of the 18th amend
ment. The president feels the
same way"
This future hope, however, was
scant comfort for congressman
who were bewildered as to Just
where the American pocketbook
should be touched again to pro
vide the necessary $22O,OOO,OOO
to pay interest and amortization
charges on the public works.
The president will help them by
SUGGESTING several alternatives, in
Guiding the manufacturers sales
tax, in a message explaining his
comprehensive public works-indus-
trial planning bill which repre-
sents his major attack on the de-
preston. Bu he will leave the
decision to congress.
The president made it clear no
decision had been reached on the
tax to be applied nor would he
confirm reports that a bond issue
would be authorized to provide
The necessary money to defray
expenses of the works project:
Mr.. Roosevelt said the method of
finding $3,3OO,OOO,O0O for this
program would be left to the
judgment of Secretary of Treas,
ury Woodin.
Douglas and Woodin will be the
first witnesses before the house
ways and means committee when
it begins hearings on the works
bill on Thursday.

REICHSWEHR IS
TO DISSOLVE,
HITLER SAYS

READY TO DISARM in
FULL IF OTHERS DO

BERLIN, May l7.-(UP).-
Germany has disarmed in accord
ance with the terms Of the treaty
of Versailles and now, if other
nations refuse to carry out their
part of this treaty and disarm
too then Germany is entitled to
demand Permanent, Chancellor
Adolf Hitler told his parliament
today.
Chancellor Hitler made force

treaty rights, demanding revision
Of the Versailles treaty.
"No European war could inn
prove the present situation he
said significantly.

tons from the atmosphere of pas
sions," he said at the beginning
of his speech. political passions
have aggravated this crisis" Hit
Ter declared, and referring to the
debts and reparations, he stated
Germany has fulfilled unreason-
able demands with suicidal 10y

Hitler also declared "the sig
ni6cance Of our revolution is first,
the destruction of communism;
secondly, the solution of unem-
-ployment, and thirdly, the estab.
lishment of strong government.
Taking up the background Of
the present problems, Hitler said:
an the beginning, states de-
fined frontiers, regardless Of ma
tionalities. The nineteenth GEN.
tury witnessed the birth Of the
national idea, but the states
failed to adopt frontiers in &C
cordance with this conception.
"The great task was to make
national frontiers identical with
racial frontiers"
OF the Germany fighting effec-
tives, Hitler said:
"Our auxiliary police is purely
a political organization, and will
be dissolved before the end Of the
year" Germany, he said, is ready
to assume further guarantees IT
others will do the same thing.
Germany is even ready to forego
arming completely if others will
do the same thing.
Germany accepts the fve-year
term proposed in the British peace
plan, Hitler declared, for restor-
ing equality of ornaments, or 1t
accepts a moratorium.

F. R. MAY. URGE
REPEAL VOTE
Considers Step as Federal
Income From Beer Ex-
ceeds Estimate
Bv FREDERICK A. STORM
United Press Staff Correspondent
Copyright, 1888. United Press)

WASHINGTON, May II. (UP)
An appeal to states to hasten re-
peal of the 18th amendment IS
being considered seriously by
President Roosevelt, it was re-
liably reported today.
Such a pronouncement Of far
reaching proportions, however,
will be timed to come sometime
after congress adjourns early in
June, it was explained in authorl-
tative quarters.
Mr.. Roosevelt, in spite of the
pressure of international politics,
has been watching the repeal vote
in widely scattered points through
out the country with undisguised
interest. He was said to feel that
any statement should wait until
the business Of disposing pending
emergency legislation was accom-
plished.
In unofficial circles, however,
he was reported as anxious to
avoid the fare-up between vets
and drys in congress should any
thing in the nature of an official
announcement on the subject be
aired during the extra session.
1t was argued by some that a
bitter fight between vets and drys
at this time might do more harm
than good to the cause of repeal
and might result in the usual
c!ouding of issues and unneces-
sary delay.
One of the factors that the adj
ministration was said to be look
ing upon in connection with the
repeal movement was the amount
Of revenue to be derived should
the states again go back to Ii
| censed sale of liquor.
Cheered by the receipts from
the legalization of beer which so
far have exceeded the estimates
of 100000 annually, friends
of the fight for outright repeal
point to an additional S80O,0OO,-
600 that they insist can be tapped
coincident with the sale Of hard
liquor.
In other words, they claim, suf-
fcient revenue would accrue to
the federal government to allow
it to go long way toward balanc-
ing the budget and at the same
time in removing the extra levies
that are certain to come for the
financing of huge public works
program.
Fiscal experts estimate that
this latter tax will have to yiel!
approximately $220,000,000 an
nually to pay the interest and to
amortize the public works bond
issue. .t..

scrapping of the 18th amendment.
