Tells All About Roosevelt
 and His Plans, Then Says Get Busy

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Bestir- ring itself after months of com- parative quietude, the Republican National Committee promises vigorous anti-New Deal offensive in an effort to oust President Roose- welt and the Democratic Party from power in 1896.
 The time has come for opening the campaign. President Roosevelt is an avowed candidate for renom- ination and reelection. He is going to make a tour as soon as Con- gress adjourns. There is less than a year before the conventions. It is time to get busy" the spokesman of the National Committee said.

Price Sees POtificdl SndrI
 As Result of Wealth- -Tax PIan
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington.)

Of all the political snarls which have been born of depression and recoVery-and they are many = the present tax tangle in Congress probably is the strangest and most puzzling
 Taxation always is prime pol itical issue. It teaches the individ- ual as few other issues do. Il cons titutes a perennial cause for strife between the parties, whose conflicting viewpoints have been quite dissimilar.
 Yet here is a Congress which is overwhelmingly Democratic, and in which the small Republican min ority is badly split, fumbling in bewilderment as it tries to trans late into law the tax recommen- dations of a Democratic President.
 If anyone had predicted such a situation a month ago, he would have been set down as a thor oughly unreliable prophet. How could it possibly have come aboutP A review of the facts may answer the question in part.

A NEED FOR ACTION

An interesting sequence Of event. began with the blow to Admins. tration prestige struck by the Su. preme Court in the MIRA decision
 Following it, a sense of stale- mates, almost of stagnation, set tied over Washington. There wa; talk among Administration men ol the need for some swift counter blow to renew the new deal' psy- chology of forward motion.
 Into that situation fell MT. Roose- velt's unheralded message asking for higher taxes on wealth. Who advised him to send such a message remains a mystery, but it was not the party leaders in Congress, who were preparing to wind up a trying session and had no desire to open 50 explosive a subject as taxation just on the eve of general cleo ton year.
 The feeling on Capitol Hill was that the President simply was talk ing for the record. No one ap- pears to have suspected at first that he wanted action this session and his message certainly did no ask for it.

JAPAN 'PEEvED OVER CARTOON
 IN MAGAZINE
Officials of Two Nation $ May Discuss lt-Edi-
 tor s Statement

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.---Resent- ment in Japan about Vanity Fairs caricature of Emperor Hirohito has engaged attention of officials of Ja- pan and the United States.
 Hirosi Saito, Japanese Ambassa- dor, has hurried here from Con- necticut to prepare report for his home office and to receive expect- ed instructions from Tokyo,
 The New York magazine, in a cartoon, pictured Emperor Hirohito as pulling an old-fashioned jinriki- sha in which reposed the Nobel Peace Prize.
 All Het Up
 Dispatches received here said the Japanese Foreign Office feared se- were public criticism as the result of the cartoon.
 The State Department officials indicated the belief no formal pro- test will be filed because of the cartoon. Some other quarters be- lieve Saito will probably take up the issue directly with the maga- zines editor, Fran Crowninshield, l, who said: There certainly is no bitterness in our hearts. The car toon is one of series of carictures running for months and is meant only in a jocular sense"
 This afternoon Saito said he had made representation against the al- legged insult to the Emperor to Sec retary of State Hull but could not say whether he will lodge a for- nal complaint.
