Washington, March 25.-(AP)- A
House Ways and Means sub-commit-

agreed to keep processing and all
other excise taxes out of a report on
which the full committee will open
hearings Monday on the new revenue
program.
Chairman Samuel B. Hill, Democrat

1--WE have eliminated entirely the
subject of processing taxes and all
excis taxes from the report as basis
for hearings, because we weren't very
keen for it at any time, and felt we

of money we need from other

The subcommittee agreed, too, he
said, to reduce from 33 IL to % 1-2
percent The tax rate on dividends to
nonresident, alien owners of stock in
American corporations. He said it was
felt the rate was too high, and the
lower rate might even pl cduce more
money.
Hill said it was expected that $751;

produced from q new corporation tax

American Delegates Dis
appointed That No Guam

London, March rs (AP)-
The United States, Great Bri-
tain and France signed a new
international naval treaty to-
day.
The pact removes restrictions
on the size OF navies, but the
United States and Great Britain
possessors of the worlds might
lest fleets, agreed separately to
maintain their navies at the
same level.
The chief American delegate, Nor
man H. Davis, and British Foreign
secretary Anthony Eden exchanged
letters, each declaring the principle
of parity contained in existing treat
les with regard to their two fleets
would continue to hold good after the
old treaties expire and the new ones
go into effect.
The new pacts, replacing the Wash
ington accord and the London treaty
of 1880, limited neither the number
nor the tonnage of the fleets Of the
Iufee participating pOWeAo, puL lHIAO
duced a new scheme for advanced
notification of naval building pro-
grams.
Delegates to the international con-
ference, which shaped the new treaty,
expressed hope that the program for
exchanges of information would curb
amp sea ornaments race for at least
six years.
The new treaty also limited the
size of the individual types of war
ships, and inaugurated a building
holiday for the larger type of cruis-
ers in place of the battleships build
ing holiday, which endured for ii
years under the expiring Washing
ton treaty.
The treaty was left open for the
signatures later of Italy, which parti
cipated in the conference to the end
but declined to sign the pact while
sanctions were in effect, and Japan
which withdrew in the controversy
over it's equality demands.

No Hagood Investigation.

The refusal of the Senate Committee
on Military Affairs to conduct an inves-
tigation Of the recent disciplining of
Major General Hagood for the manner
in which he testified before a committee
of Congress is altogether logical. There
Is no need for an inquiry into the cir
cumstances, for they are already well
known. The issue of whether the officer
was subject to discipline cannot be
transferred to a congressional body, for
the authority for such action rests wholly
with the executive branch Of the Gov
ernment. Whether the order for the
rebuke and relief from command was
given by the chief Of the general staff,
by the Secretary of War or by the Presi-
dent as commander of the forces, the
responsibility lies entirely within the
range of those three authorities and
short of impeachment Congress has no
jurisdiction, and. impeachment must
start Ia the House OF Representatives,
and not in the Senate, which sits as q
court of trial when accusation is brought.

However, it is in the arena of domestic
affairs that King Edward has shown
himself most gallant and valorous. Few,
perhaps, may realize the fact. but 1t is
q matter Of sober truth that he has set
the pattern Of his reign to conform with
democratic and humane ideals. He
might have selected another course, and
no one would have complained. But
when he visited the slums of Glasgow
famous as "the worst in Europe"-he
inaugurated a routine which in all prob
ability he will follow so long as he occu-
pies the throne. He shook hands with
revolutionists, met on. equal terms the
inhabitants of a neighborhood which is
notoriously Communistic. And he came
away with the hearts of the rebels in
his pocket.
King Edward, it now is plain, intends
to be a peoples leader. That, surely,
demands heroism and is entitled to the
applause of his American friends.

the disciplining Of She onhcer was an
unwise, If not an unfair. procedure. It
served to spread broadcast the language
used by General Hagood before the
House committee, which otherwise would
never have been known to more than the
few who heard it and those who may
have chanced to find it in the mass of
matter representing the hearings, which
very few ever read. 1t denoted an
extreme sensitiveness to criticism, which
is hardly the attitude calculated to win
public confidence. 1t made q martyr
of an officer whose only offense was
the use of colloquial language in de-
scribing a method of disbursing public
funds for immaterial purposes when
other needs are more urgent.
The Hagood case is doubtless officially
closed. But the effect of 1t remains
in the public mind.

Notebook of Science Progress in Field,
Laboratory and Study.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

automobile glass and some worked out In
the Bureau OF Standards laboratory were
shown. Various materials are being test
ed in the hope of eventually getting a
product which will serve all the purposes
of glass.
In all the organic exhibits the cryptic
symbol PHI appeared over and over
again. 1t is becoming of greater and
greater Importance in the work of the
Bureau of Standards testers, since it
seems to be one of the major determin-
ing factors for qualities so diverse as
the strength of shoe leather and the
flavor of butter. 1t is the symbol for
the concentration of hydrogen ions-un-
attached protons of the hydrogen atom
in substance. The greater the number
the greater the alkalinity, the lower the
greater the acidity.
An important activity of the division,
as the exhibit illustrated, is that of test
ing the qualities of paper. Specifically
indistinguishable stocks have great diff
ferences in lasting qualities, resistance
to mildew etc. One line of research
now being followed is that of determining
the air permeability of paper which in
creases rapidly with deterioration. For
example, 1t was shown, air will pass 100
times as rapidly through a worn dollar
bill as through fresh one.
