KENT LEVY COURT TO
FIX TAX RATE IN JUNE
TConfinned from Firsf Paqel

[COHfiHHed from ErSf Pdgel
Many persons, who investigated
the matter. are of the opinion that
the Kent county tax rate can be re-
duced from the forty cent rate now
in effect. They point out that the
present Republican State Admins
tIation has succeeded in enecting
several substantial savings to the
taxpayers of the county.
Among these items was the erec-
tiOn of the State Welfare Home,
which abolished a portion of the ex-
pense for caring for the poor and in
digent in the county. and the trans
fer of the care and maintenance of
the dirt roads to the State Highway
Department. which carried with it
an automatic reduction in the tax
rate.
... The tax rate cannot be fixed until
after the assessment is completed
but the expenditures of the county
can be looked over in the meantime
with view of eliminating unneces-
sary expenses for the benefit of the
taxpayers.

Statesman, legislators and diplo-
matte experts have decided to aban-
DE- their pride and admit now that
they are not. after all. omniscient.
Members of the London Naval Con-
ference, who are continuing their
work after the withdrawal of the
Japanese, have found out. finally, that
they did not know quite what they
were talking about. 1t was decided
last Wednesday to appoint sub
committee charged with drawing up
exact definitions of naval terms 80
that delegates who seek a new naval
limitations treaty may know exactly
what they are arguing about"
OF course, it took these experts
two months to find out that they did
not know what it was all about.
The same thing is happening in
the Senate. The new neutrality bill
is being discussed in the Foreign At
fairs Committee. Most members dis
covered, however, that almost every
word of the text presented by the
administration has potential dyna-
mite in it. The conversations were
long and led nowhere. In order to
hasten the pace of the discussions
the State Department has kindly lent
the committee its expert, Hackworth,
who Is giving the Senators q daily
lecture on international law.

Hitler thundered as in the old days.
This, his friends say, proves how I'M
founded are the rumors Of his having
q cancer in the throat.
Reliable reports from Berlin say,
however that der Fuehrer is suffering
from tuberculosis Of the throat.
Hence the question of succession is
discussed frequently by the leaders Of
the Reich.
Many a dictator "killed" by
rumors is still alipe and kicking.
This may be true later OF Hitler,
too, although the reports from Eu-
rope are based on medical opinion.
Whether Hitler ,ril pass on
within year is really OF little
consequence. Der Fuehrer has
placed the fate OF Germany in
solid hands-tke Reichswehr.
The course of Germany's policies is
a straight one-the complete abolition
of the Versailles treaty, the rearma-
ment of Germany and the placing Of
the Reich on the world map as an out
standing power. Hitler began that
policy and accomplished the most
difficult part of 1t. The task of his
eventual successors will be compara-
lively easy.

Of six submarines.
Economically, the nations defenses
were buttressed by new measures to
help combat the present economic
siege and the possibility of an addi-
tional oil embargo, a project to be
studied by governmental experts at
Geneva.
Among the measures which became
effective today were increased taxes
on consumption of gas and electricity
higher taxation burdens for bachelors
and greater duties on coal and its by
products.
The new financial measures, how
ever had not extended to the pos
sible phase being discussed in finan-
cial circles-a capital levy, consisting
Of tax Of IS per cent on the value
of all property, spread over period
of from 10 to 20 years.
Such tax was levied in 1920.
Predicts Oil Ban Will Fail.
The Giornale dTtalia, meanwhile,
asserted an oil embargo as an at
tempted blow against Italy's mocha
nized armies would fail because the
nation had already provided cover
age for permanent military require
ments for oil In both Africa and Eu-

Der, william Green, president Of
the American Federation Of Labor,
said in q statement yesterday.
Although the new year openeo
with conditions more encourag-
ing" only q handful Of the large
army of unemployed can now ex-
pect to find jobs, Green said.
Employment Is not keeping pace
with the upward trend in business,
Green said on the basis Of q ma
tion1wide survey Just completed by
the A. r. Of l.
December Ratio
In December business activity
was Al per cent higher than dur.
ing the same period for the preceo-
ing year. but employment was only
4 per cent higher. Green said.
It would require an employment
increase Of 20 per cent to give jobs
in industry to those who seek
them. Green said. Even when buSi-
ness reaches its normal point, mil
lions will still be jobless," he de-
clared, adding:
America faces the stubborn
fact that unemployment win Al
ways be with MS unless we insist
on finding jobs for these millions
In industry, where they can Gre
ate the wealth for their support.
NO SOLUTION IN SIGHT
"The gains we have made are
Of small significance when com
pared with the magnitude Of the
problem we face. No solution 10
yet in sight"
Last December's unemployment
figures were the lowest since the
peak was reached in March, 1888.
The net change, however. was only
4,252.00O. according to Green's
compilations. Few Of these were
absorbed by private industry since
3.54f,000 were employed on WPA
propjectS, Green said.
