Rome Annoyed by British
Reluctance for Alliance
and Growing Influence
Upon Attitude of France.
TRIPARTITE PARLEY
TO OPEN THURSDAY
1taly's Program Expected to In.
clude Proposal for o. K. of Re.
armament of Austria, Hungary
and Bulgaria to Assure Inde-
pendence-Entente Opposed.

(Copyright. 1885. by the Associated Press)
ROME, April 6.-High Italian quar-
ters tonight expressed irritation with
England and doubt of France in con-
nection with the tri-power conference
at Stresa which opens Thursday.
At Stresa foreign ministers of the
three nations will consider Germany S
rearmament, European problems aris-
ing in its wake and the old problem
Of security.
Italy's Attitude Summed Up.
Italy's attitude can be summed up
thus:
l. Annoyance with England because
England apparently believes in a con-
ciliatory attitude toward Germany
wants general European accord and
does not want an alliance.
2. Doubt of France because France.
believed here to be under England's S
influence, is seemingly moving toward
the idea of general accord.
3. Belief that some definite stand
such as an alliance, must be taken
by the three Western powers with
out regard to any general pact.
The Italian press agrees that
1taly's program at Stresa, which
Premier Mussolini is drafting in his
mountain of meditation" at Rocca
Dele Carminade, Forli Province, will
be:
l. An accord to uphold Austria S
independence, in which Germany may
or may not participate.
2. Scrapping of the idea Of the
Eastern Locarno" treaty, which Ger
many and Poland have rejected,
rather than let it stand in the way
Of an agreement in the west.
3. Conclusion of an aerial conven-
tion, with Germany included if pos
sible, otherwise without her.
4. Provision for a treaty with Ger
many to limit her ornaments, which
would be substituted for part of the
Versailles treaty (that restricting
Germany's armamentS), this instead
Of . disarmament treaty.
Return to League.
S. Germany's return to the League
of Nations.
o. Approval OF rearmament IN Aus
tria, Hungary and Bulgaria.
The proposal that Germany's three
allies in the World War be allowed
to rearm will be accompanied by
the proviso that the action be after
negotiation with other powers.
The treaties of st. German. Trianon
and Neuilly limited the armies in
Austria. Hungary and Bulgaria. re-
spectively, to 10000, $4,000 and $1,000
men.
In backing their hopes for more
troops, Mussolini realizes that he will
meet opposition. This will come

WAR PROFITS TAX
INSERTED IN BILL
House Leaders CapituIate
to Demands for Stern
Measures.

BY the Associated Press.
House leaders capitulated yester-
day to inSiStent demands for stern
taxation provisions in the bill to out
law wartime profiteering and opened
the way for their insertion in the
Senate.
After insisting for three days that
such amendments could not be Of
fered, Chairman McSwain of the
Military Committee, author of the
measure, himself proposed and had
accepted 100 per cent tax on excess
profits.
The amendment provided no basis
for the determination of what should
constitute "excess profits" but it
served to tear down the constitutional
barrier which would have prevented
the Senate from including tax fea-
lures.
Senate May Write in Rate.
Under the Constitution all tax pro-
posals must originate in the House

adopted yesterday, the Senate may
now write any tax rates it chooses

posed by its own Munitions Commir-

It has awaiting introduction a
measure which would limit industrial
profits to 3 per cent of the invest

visions empowering a draft of man
power in the event of war, which led
some opponents of the measure to
denounce it as a draft bill with a

The authorization of conScripted
Army was voted into the bill while a
great display of military strength was
massed outside the Capitol in prep
aration for the annual Army day
parade, this time commemorating the
eighteenth anniversary of America s
declaration of war against Germany.
Twice the House emphatically re-
fused to strike from the bill a pro-
vision authorizing a conscripted war

to As years.

NEW YORK, April 6.-Former

a revival of 'the great spirit of ideal
ism" of relief workers in World War
days to solve current unemployment
problems.
Addressing the American Relief
Administration Association at its
eleventh annual reunion, Hoover re-
ferred to the N R. A. as "the first OF

His experience with the relief ad-

from volunteers in the various COM

MELLON ART TAX
RULING IS DENIED
''Irrevocable" Gifts Would
Be Exempt, He|vering
Declares.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Treasury tossed back to An
drew w. Mellon yesterday what may
be the next-to-the-last word in their
tiff over taxes in connection with the
latter's projected $4,000, ,00G national
art gallery here.
Conceding that the Treasury had
reversed itself once, but declaring
there had been public misconception
of its position, Guy T. Helvering
commissioner of Internal Revenue
took this position:
Andrew w. Mellon will be entitled
to claim, and will be granted, the
right to make any and all tax deduc-
tions on account of gifts Of money or
art for educ>ional or charitable pur-
poses which are allowable under the
existing laws-if given irrevocably.
Decision UnannOunced.
Helvering asserted, however, that
neither the Treasury Department
nor the Bureau of Internal Revenue
has announced any ruling or made
any decision that the projected gift
Of national art gallery would not
be exempt from taxation"
The situation was precipitated by
a report from Pittsburgh that the
Internal Revenue Bureau has notified
Mellon that it did not consider his
projected art gallery tax-exempt
organization. as it was regarded as
simply nominal transfer to some
corporation controlled by himself.
Helvering, explaining how the mix
up came about, said:
1T has been asserted that by a
certain reversal of decision the Treas
ury Department holds that the pro-
jected gift to the Nation of $50, 0,000.-
900 by Andrew Mellon for a national
gallery of art would not be exempt
from taxation, and it is stated that
this ruling places the project in seri-
GUS jeopardy.
Ruling on Trust Only.
"The ruling made by the Bureau OF
Internal Revenue and the Treasury
Department has been solely on the
question Cd of the liability to tax
alton of the A. W. Mellon Charitable
and Educational Trust, and (2) as
to the right of Andrew w. Mellon to
claim deductions from income for
taxation purposes on account of do
nations made to the A. w. Mellon
Charitable and Educational Trust.

held, in letter to Mr.. Donald D
Shepard, trustee Of the A. w. Mel
lon Educational and Charitable Trust
that this trust is not trust organized

tional and charitable purposes. as
