TOXIC PAPER
FAVORABLE To
j. 8. STAND
Nichi Nichi Declares 1t Has No
Criticism To Make OF Position
Taken By America.
SAYS PROMISE ALTERED
Roosevelt Charged With Chang
ing Pledge Assertedly Given
To Viscount Ishii.

TOXIC, May 3. U.P)-A Japanese
newspaper today said that the Uni
ted State communication to the
Japanese foreign office on the Chi
nese police declarations changed
President Roosevelt's promise to re-
cognize Japan as the Stabilizer in
far eastern affairs.
The comment was presented in
the general story published in the
newspaper Nichi Nichi concerning
the reception in Japan of the state
ment of Cordell Hull, United States
secretary of state.
Editorially the Nichi Nichi said
the Hull communication calmly
clarified the United States position
in the hands off China" contro-
versy and that the newspaper did
not have the slightest criticism of
the American stand
The general story, however, in re-
porting that the Hull statement
was friendly, claimed it had alter
ed the promise purportedly given
ViScount IShii, japanese diplomat
by President Roosevelt to accept ia
pan as the stabilizing force in east
ern Asia.
The United States position might
be interpreted, the story said, as a
return to the doctrines of the Hoo
yer administration, as exemplified
in the Manchukuan crisis by Secre-
tary of State Henry Stimson.
The Nichi Nichi writer reported
that the Japanese foreign office was
preparing a reply to the Hull mes
sage. in which the United States
urged all nations to respect treaty
rights in China and virtually reject
ed Japan's bid for overlordship in
Asia.

Congress.
TO BRING BIG REVENUE
Lower Rates On Small Incomes
And Increase In Upper Brack-

WASHINGTON, May 3. U.P) -
The $417,000,000 tax bill ended its
long journey through congress to-
day when the senate put the fin
ishing touches to measure which
has been more than three months
in the making.
The senate sent the tax bill to
President Roosevelt for signature
after adopting the conference re-
port on the measure and receding
from an amendment which would
have added 10 per cent to every in
come tax payment for 1884.
There was no record vote on any
OF the actions taken by the senate
in completing congressional action
on the bill.
Sen. James Couzens, (Rep) Mi
chigan, spoke in favor of his 10 per
cent amendment but made no ef-
fort to hinder the Senate's recession
from this proposal
The house refused to accept this
amendment. 1t was the only major
point of difference between the
house and senate versions On which
the senate yielded
The new tax bill was designed to
bring additional revenue and at the
same time to close loopholes in the
present which had resulted in loss
of revenue through tax avoidance.
The new income tax rates are
lower on the smaller incomes and
higher than at present in the up
per brackets

ference report on the 1000 900

in income taxes.
Sen. James Couzens, (Rep) Mi
chigan, author of the 10 per cent
amendment, said he would not ask
the senate to insist on it's amend
ment.
He said, however, he wanted to
deal with some of the publicity that

i. s. EMPLOYEES
OPPOSE P|CKET|NG
Pass Resolution at Meeting
Last Night Based on
Donovan Case.

An echo of the Donovan case was
heard last night at the monthly meet
ing of the District Department,
American Federation of Government
Employees, when it was voted to offer
an amendment to the federation con-
situation barring picketing. The issue
will be brought before the national
convention in New York, next month
The proposed amendment was
offered by e. Claude Babcock, presi-
dent of the federation, and was a
development growing out of the
picketing at N. r. A. headquarters by
Sympathizers of John L. Donovan,
head OF N. r. A. lodge of the
federation, because of his dismissal
by Administrator Hugh S. johnson.
Donovan, who was just restored to
duty this past week, supported Bab-
cocks proposal.
The federation had disclaimed any
connection with the picketing.
The amendment would read: I'VE
oppose and will not support strikes,
picketing or the use of unduly large
committees for the presentation of
grievances to Government officials,
the words unduly large meaning not
more than five members to a
Grievance Committee"

said more study will be required to
reach a satisfactory basis for peace
between the factions involved.
At the same time there was pros
pect of a 1-cent reduction in price

made that the reduction actually will
be made before the first of next week.
Cut-price independent dealers con-
tinued to stick to their 10-cent quota
ton and have given no outward signs
Of any change.
Scott met with tax oficials Of vir-
ginia and Maryland yesterday and
arranged for them to meet him here
again Tuesday for q conference on
both tax collections and bootleg
gasoline Both authorities agreed to
have officers patrol highways leading

take up the matter of tax evasion
with the District Commissioners.
While the committees continued
their work toward a settlement of
their present difficulties, Scott said
prices probably will remain un-
changed until a definite arrangement
for peaceful competition has been
made.
