EUR0PE'S TRADE METHODS
DESCRIBED AS INFERIOR

The belief that because Of the back
wardness Of European business in many
respects, Europe could never hope to
compete with the United States, was
expressed by DR.. e. E. Pratt, former
director OF the Commerce Departments
Bureau Of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, in an address at the Georgetown
University School Of Foreign Service
last night.
Declaring European merchandising
methods are far inferior to American
and that European manufacturers and
merchants have no real idea of selling
as the term is used in this country,
DR.. Pratt said:
"Europeanmade goods are greatly
overrated. There exists an almost child
like faith in the quality of European
made products. Labels may have meant
something at one time, but today, with
the exception Of Made in England
they mean little If anything Of addi-
tional value. AS general rule, high
quality merchandise at low prices no
longer exists In Europe"

advanced by President-elect Roosevelt
when he takes command at the White
House and the new Congress meets on
Capitol Hill. However If the President

are to be the Democratic leaders in the

to such program now, it would appear

INCOME PROPOSALS
EQUAL WAR LEVELS
Lowered Exemptions Would
Include $1,000 and $4,000
at 6 Per Cent.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The new income tax rates decided
on by President-elect Roosevelt and
Democratic congressional leaders In
their conference last night equal the
wartime levies. highest ever imposed
by the United States.
They start from a basis per cent
higher than the rates In force this year,
which, in turn, are much sitter than
any paid since the 1921 revenue law
was supplanted.
Exemptions Lowered.
The drop in exemptions, which will
tax all unmarried men and women with
$1,000 or more, and all married earners
receiving $4,000 or more. compare with
exemptions of 81 900 and $4,000 in force
this year, and $500 and $4,000 on the
taxes paid during 1882.
The program now to be attempted
6 per cent on the first $4,000 Of income
and u per cent above that, plus a
graduated surtax on incomes of $4,000
or more-was strongly advocated in the
Senate last session by Senator Couzers,
Republican. Of Michigan, but despite
considerable support was defeated in
favor OF and per cent, with the same
surtax.
f The yield Of the current income taxes
remains to be shown after the March is
payment date, when a huge proportion
OF the personal payments are made in
full. The estimate last June was that
income tax receipts would be increased
S63, ,000, 900 by the higher normal income
rates, SIS, ,0o0, 900 by the sHrtaxes and

| HIS season, for the first time,
English-made motion pictures
have been competing favorably
i with homemade product for the
coveted first-run showings on
Broadway. Before this year, it was
seldom that an English production ever
reached one of the important thea

within the last three months eight pro-
ductions from the Gaumont- British
studios have made the grade.
1.-THE Ghost Train" melodramatic

Cicely Courtneidge, started the Gau-

EOR theatrical insiders, as distin-
guished from stray visitors to New.
York, the center of interest shifts
largely, at this time Of year, to the
many Summer stock company theaters
which have sprung up of late years in
the neighborhood. Thus Herbert j.
Biberman, one-tine member of the
production staff of the Theater Guild
and graduate of Prof Bakers AT"
workshop at Yale, began his season last
Monday evening at the Westchester
Community Center at White Plains,
with Emil Ludwig's Peace Palace" I"
seen there for the first time in this
country.
Mr.. Biberman plans to give eight
plays during the next two months and
he has made q point Of choosing pieces
that have more or less baffled routine
producers. For his first venture, he had
the assistance Of the veteran Guild
player, Claude Rains, in the role Of
Clemenceau; A. p. Kaye as Lloyd
George; Richard Hale as Woodrow VIII
son, and Mary Morris as Mrs. Wilson,
supported by cast Of fifty.
These Summer companies are q good
thing for everybody concerned. Some
times they serve as pleasant combi-
nation of job and Summer vacation for
young actors mostly interested In ex-
perience or for the more experienced
who might otherwise be idle. All sorts
of plays can be tried out here which

hearing. Pieces which might seem "un-
pleasant" If set against the full tide
OF Midwinter entertainment, or plays
a little hard to take because of their
unconventional structure or what the
I. B. M. might regard as excessive liter
ar1ness, become more palatable when
sandwiched in between swims and ten
mis- games and the idle hours of the
country. Revivals of established sue
ceSSeS, on the other hand offer chance
for experimentation in new methods of
production, and If well played, give the
vacationiSts and Summer resorters q
welcome change from the films which
might otherwise be the only available
theatrical entertainment.
