TREASURY RECOMMENDS
BILL FOR TAX REFUNDS

The Treasury, seeking to forestall
numerous suits for tax refunds, an
nounced yesterday it would recon-
mend legislation providing refunds Of
levies collected under the tobacco and
potato control acts and the Bankhead
cotton act.
Rulings by Federal Circuit Courts
OF Appeal have held the Kerr-Smith
tobacco control act unconstitutional
and have ordered refunds of taxes paid
under it.
About $6,000.000 in taxes was COL
lected under the three acts. Most of
this came from the tobacco and cot
ton laws.

relied upon to invite those parties to
the treaty which are not members of
the League. Among the latter is the
United States.
These formalities account for the
fact that the United States thus far
has not formally been invited. Officials
here indicated, however, that they ex-
pected the bid to be forthcoming
shortly.
Consent Considered Assured.
American consent to participate was
regarded generally as foregone con-
clusion after the State Department is
sued its stinging denunciation OF ia
pan last night as treaty violator.
Secretary Hull explained that this
pronouncement was made by the
United States Government in its ca
pacity as a signatory of treaties it re-
garded as having been violated and
raised only the simple question of
whether the action of another sigma
tory was contrary to the pacts.
In its condemnation of Japan the
State Department accused the imperial
Japanese government of violating both
the nine-power pact and the Kellogg
BRAND anti-war treaty.
Acted on Own Judgment.
Asked whether the United States
consulted the governments of other
American republics, Hull replied that
it acted on its own independent judg-
ment in accordance with established
policy.
The Secretary of State parried aues-
tions as to what attitude this Govern
ment holds toward a League of Ma
tions proposal that other governments
refrain from doing anything in the
Sino-Japanese conflict that would
tend to hamper China in its struggle
He also declined to comment on the
recommendation Of former Secretary
OF State Henry L. Stimson that the
United States join Great Britain in
an economic boycott Of the Nipponese
empire.

President Roosevelt secluded himself
in the quiet of his ancestral home

His statement at Chicago that
America actively engages in the

his Chicago address for publication,
nor amplify it in any way.
1t spoke for itself, was the way he
put it, refusing all requests for in

Although he had no appointments
Tor the day, he was expected to
confer With aides in arranging con-

congressional leaders as soon as he
returns to Washington tomorrow

In the domestic field, he must de-

whether to call a special session of
Congress next month to tackle tie

AS the Episcopal Triennial Conven-

weathered doctrinal differences much
worse" than the dispute precipitated
by teachings of the Church League
for Industrial Democracy.

spokesman asserted.

man Thomas, Socialist leader, as prin-

In its campaign to bring the church
closer to the working man. the league

Differences Recalled.
Doctrlnal differences were recalled
yesterday when the house Of bishops
refused again to consider a written
plea for reinstatement made by Will

bishop the church has deposed in re-
cent history.
Brown was expelled for heresy in

for Tobacco Levy
Proposal

Action favorable to increase by l
per cent of the gas tax in the Dis

was taken last night by the Logan
Thomas Circle citizens in a meet
ing At the home of President Ella
Thompson. Declaring this the most
favorable means of increasing rev.
enues to allow for the annual deficit,
the citizens adopted the measure "to
insure against additional property
taxes which might be levied in lieu Of
the gas and tobacco proposal" as
stated by the secretary, Mrs. Rich
ard Young.
Since construction OF Jefferson
memorial on the proposed Tidal Basin
site would necessitate removal Of
"one OF this city's finest beauty spots
the cherry trees" the circle group
opposed any plans to that effect. The
association also pointed out the flood
hazard Of that area.
Discussion was held on the desir-
ability of laying curbs around Logan
Circle to divide traffic into lanes for
