What the congressional leaders are
trying to do now is to stall until
after the March Is tax returns are in.
They have been tipped that the re-
turns will be anywhere from $780,
100000 to $450,0O0,0O0 and will cer-
tainly be more than estimated. The
dividends tax receipts are expected to
be especially surprising. If this proves
true, it will afford good excuse for
refusing to follow the President, al
though, of course, income receipts
have no connection with the farm bill
or bonus.
Inspires F0recasters.
This writhing is only natural. Just
now it is generating general predic-
tions that Congress will not pass any,
thing like the Presidents recon-
mendations.
that Congress will have to follow his
general outline. In the end it will
probably give him about IS per cent
of what he is asking.
Note-No one noticed it at the
time, but the White House tar con-
ference Das the longest MIR. Roose-
pelt has euer held. 1t lasted four,
hours Last year it took him only
tuo and a halt hours to reach a
similar misunderstanding about
soaking the rich. The explanation
is that at this conference the. con-
tereeS talked as much politics as
they did tares, although none of
the announcements said anything
about that
The State Department is never sur
prised. It always knows everything in
advance and yawns when it happens.
However, the eyes of the seers popped
out as far as yours did when Premier
Okada returned from the dead in
Toxic.
The truth is they know less about
what is happening in Japan than in
any other country in the world. Japan
keeps her state secrets better than all
others. The news from there is nearly
always handmade for diplomatic pur-
poses.
Important News For World.
AS our statesmen perceive it, the
japanese furry Is Of extreme impor-
tance to us and all the world.
The government and the army in
Japan are one on the general idea Of
seizing Asia. They disagree violently
about how fast it should be done.
japanese diplomats want to do it
peaceably by buying up the Chinese
leaders. The moderates in the army
want to do it by force, but cautiously.
A radical element believes haste is
essential. This belief is based on
the conviction that Japan is going
to have to fight Russia before her
control of Asia is complete. The rea-
son: Russia is supplying the Chinese
Red armies with arms and inspiring
resistance to japanese.
Thus real issue underlying the
japanese upheaval is war with Russia.
Whatever eventually happens in Japan
will mean the Fastening or delaying
Of that inevitable event.
