U. S. More Time.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Carrying mandate to oppose in
creaSeS in the worlds burden of naval
costs, the American delegation sails
tonight for the London conference on
limitation Of fighting fleets.
Departing from New York aboard
the liner Aquitania. the delegation is
due at Southampton at noon Decem-
Der s, the day the conference was to
open.
CIn London the foreign office an
nounced today the conference will
open December 9 to suit the con-
venience of the delegates from the
United States)
In the Locarno room of the British
foreign office, the worlds sea powers
will hold conversations that may de-
termine whether there shall be a tre-
mendous naval building race.
U. S. to Seek Curb.
Though frankly recognizing the
difficulties ahead, the Americans were
represented as determined on a strong
effort to prevent the threatened race
They are expected to strive for reduc-
tions in tonnage or maintenance of
existing navieS for another five or six
years.
President Roosevelt has enunciated
q policy of opposition to naval in
creases that would pyramid the
financial burden of sea armaments.
Norman H. Davis, veteran Of inter-
national conferences, heads the dele
cation. Codelegates are Undersecretary
of State Phillips. a career diplomat
and Admiral William H. STANDBY
chief Of naval operations.
They will be accompanied by Comdr
Roscoe E. Schuirmann and Lieut.. Ar
thur D. Ayrault of the Navy and
Noel Field and David M. Key, diplo-
matte assistants from the State De-
partment
Swanson Reticent.
Secretary of the Navy Swanson has
been reticent about this Nations pro-
gram in the London discussions, say
ing merely:
The delegation will do everything
it can to secure an agreement ad-
vantageous to the best interests of the
United States"
Facing the delegation will be four
powers which have announced pro-
grams for increasing their naval
strength. Japan seeks equality with
the United States and Great Britain
instead of the short end of the present
55-3 ratio. The British desire to
add 20 cruisers and $4,000 tons Of de-
stroyers to tonnage permitted them
under present treaties.
Roosevelt Guides Speech.
France demands a navy equal to
the combined fleets Of Germany and
Italy. The Italians seek one as strong
as the French.
Germany, Soviet Russia and other
nations are expected to determine
their naval goals on standards set in
the conference.
Davis, who has been drafting the
address in which he will set forth
American aspirations for the, confer
ence has been guided by instructions
from President Roosevelt. During the
transatlantic voyage Davis will con-
fer on the final form Of the address
with the other two delegates.

Big Estates Face Long
Tussle Against Tax

note when he landed from
Europe recently. He said no
~ big fortune would remain 80
years under existing taxation. He
saw the end of philanthropies, such as
endowed universities, Carnegie libra
ries, Mellon art collections. etc.
Taxation authorities have been
studying the point since he made his
statement, and have concluded he was
no more than so per cent right. That
is, no large American fortune can last
for two generations under existing in
heritance taxes. No large fortune can
be built up under existing inheritance
taxes. No large fortune can be built
up under existing income taxes. But
the results will require so to 10 years
instead of 80 to effectuate. And no
one believes existing taxes will last
that long.

The senior Rockefeller evaded the
new era by giving his fortune to his
son before the present gift taxes went
into effect. 1t could not be done now.
Heavy Reductions Provided.
If the elder Rockefeller fortune
could be listed as $100, ,000, 900 for
the purpose of analysis, the Govern
ment tax at his death would be $67,-
100000. That would leave Junior $33,-
000, 900. The tax at his death would
amount to $4,000 900. That would
leave $13,000,000 from the original
500 900 900.
This toiH not happen to Rookie
teller. Nor t1ill it happen to Ford.
You can ascertain from Semi-oH-
ctal sources that Henry has passed
the bulk OF his estate to Edsel. He
paid rather heavy gift tareS on it
because he did not get in under the
Wire as did Rockefeller. Don't tell
any one, but EdSel notp pays
larger income tar than HenryJ
The man it has happened to is Will
Rogers, the beloved national humoris:.
Those who know say Rogers income
prior to his death was about $25 900
a week. He was compelled to lay aside
$4,000 Of it to pay his Federal and
California State taxes.
In the contrast, you have the hidden
answer to the taxation problem. Rogers
earned his money. His employers paid
him what they thought he was worth.
His income was right out on the bar
rel head, where the Government could
snatch it.
Most fortune holders buy farms
which they can operate at a tax deduc-
ton loss, or buy tax-exempt securities
which permit them to get away from
the mouth Of the Governments tax
collection gun.
Good Parlor Game.
The certain mathematical answer to
these examples Is that wealth sharing
is good parlor game, but it does not
add up to substance in the kitchen.
Mr.. Morgan's surmise Is correct theo-
retically but not actually. Existing for
tunes above or 10 million dollars can
not possibly 60 through the tax wringer
twice. But they probably will not have
to. For one thing, the outstanding ex-
amples have taken steps to guarantee
other results. For another, the exist
ing system of taxation will unques-
not last for the so to 10 years
required to make it punitive.
