j. S.-FRENCH TAX
TREATY RATIFIED
Chamber of Deputies Acts
With Final Approval Seen
Before YuIe.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, December 22.-The Tar
dieu- Edge treaty abolishing double
taxation was ratified today by the
Chamber of Deputies after delay of
two and half years.
Ratification, which had been urged
by Foreign Minister Pierre Laval,
came without debate or a record vote.
It now goes to the Senate, with the
government hoping for final ratiflca-
tion before Christmas.
Action by the Chamber quickly fol-
lowed upon the Recommendation of
the Chamber Finance Committee that
the accord between the United States
and France be carried out.
Criticism that the treaty was less
favorable to France than to the
United States was overcome by the
committees decision to ask for sup
Elementary provisions safeguarding
the French interests"
Trade Receives Boost.
Franco American trade relations
receive a boost by the ratification,
which brings to an end the contro-
versial problem Of many years stand
ing and represents a saving estimated
at $4,000, 900 for American firms.
Negotiated in 1882 by Ambassador
Walter E. Edge and Premier Tardieu,
it dropped out of sight for two years
and finally was placed before the
chamber of Premier Doumergue in
an effort to smooth over the debt
rufIled Franco-American relations.
1t represented an important piece
of work on the part of former Am
bassador Edge. He and Tardieu
signed it April ~, 1882. Two months
later the United States Senate rati-
fed 1t.
When Ambassador Strauss took
over the embassy the question still
vas problem.
Stipulates Kinds Of Revenue.
The treaty contains 10 articles
establishing regulations for taxation
Of American and French businesses
established in the two countries and
defines the kinds of revenue fol
which double taxation Is avoided.
Under the old French law French
branches of American business houses
were subject to taxation not only
on the profits they made in France
but on q part of the profit made by
the parent company all over the
world. The treaty specifically bases
taxation only on the business actually
done in France.

'G. .O.P.|NSURGENTS
IN NH0USEMAYB0[T.
Demand Floor Leader of
Party Be Progressive.
Favor Lemke.
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
A frank threat to bolt the party
unless House Republicans back a
Progressive candidate for the speak
ership was added yesterday to Sem
ator Borah's demands for a @. o. P.
reorganization.
simultaneously, a call was issued
for the Republicans to meet January
2 to select their speakership nominee.
Since there are only l02 Republicans
in the House, he will be showed under
by the 322 Democrats. But he will
remain Republican floor leader and
titular party leader.
The bolt" threat was made by
Representatives Burdick, Repub-
lican, of North Dakota.
To Support Lemke.
The "insurgent" Republicans, he
said, intend to back Representative
Lemke, Republican. of North Dakota
for the highest Republican post in
the House.
Would you carry that so far as to
bolt the party and vote for another
speakership nominee?" he was asked
Certainly" Burdick answered.
But If the Democrats name (Repre-
sentative) Byrns (of Tennessee), we
won't 60 for him. He won't do"
Burdick said that so far there had
been no general meeting Of insurgents.
The minority leadership post now is
held by Representative Bertrand H.
Smell of New York. Observers on
Capitol Hill generally agreed that de-
spite the bolt threat he had enough
votes pledged to assure his renom-
ination.
Smell Claims Victory.
Recently, in fact, his followers
claimed that 80 per cent of the House
Republicans had pledged their sup
port to him. And some who were dis
satisfied had admitted an inability to
find q candidate. Lemke would not
say whether he would be a candidate.
Senator Borah, the Idaho inde-
pendent Republican, has centered his
criticism upon the national party Or
ganization and Chairman Henry p.
Fletcher. He, too, has threatened .
revolt.
Although Borah has not mentioned
Smell, the present House Republican
leader has held . high place In party
councils. He even has been men
toned as . possibility for the Repub-
ncan presidential nomination.

require the husband to report the
community income in one return,
and is intended to compel the
husband in community property
states to pay an individual in

"The husband. therefore. will
not only have to file return on
his own income, but also on the

The golden text will be from
Lamentations 5:19: Thou, U

Among the citations which COM

lowing from the Bible: For since

o God, beside thee, what he hath

The lesson-sermon also includes
the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, "Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy:
an the material world, thought
has brought to light with great
rapidity many useful wonders.
With like activity have thoughts
swift pinions been rising towards

Sugar Beet Trade
Report Is Made
Settlement Limits Labor
and Fixes Wages

WASHINGTON, March 81
CUP).-Prohibition of child la
bor in sugar beet fields, and min
imum pay for adults of $40 per
acre cultivated plus housing, was
recommended last night in a re-
port submitted to investigate the
industry. .,
The committee recommended
that beet sugar be made a basic
commodity and that production
be reduced by acreage limitation
agreements compensated for by
a processing tax. But the agree
ments, the report said, should
pledge the grower to the propos-
ed child labor and minimum wage
standards.
The average individual worker
in wheat fields earned less than
500 in a six-month season last
year, the committee found. The
minimum pay to maintain exist
ence was placed at 5000 family
plus housing.
The proposed child labor pro-
vision would exempt offspring of
beet growers who worked in the
family fields.
The investigating committee
comprised Charles E. Wyzanski,
department of labor solicitor,
chairman; Gardiner C. Means, fl
nancial economic adviser to the
secretary of agriculture; Harold
M. Stephens, E. D. Tetrau and
Walter White.
