Earlier Story on Page AID
BY the Associated Press
Vigorously opposing the Ruml
plan, Representative Crawford,
Republican. of Michigan told the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee today advocacy of canceling
1912 personal income tax obliga-
tionS, as means of attaining
pay-as-you-go, was almost eco
nomic blasphemy."
Committee members supporting
the Ruml plan conceded they were
on the defensive, though 1t appeared
that virtually all of the Is Repre-
sentatives on the committee believed
that some part of the taxes due
March Is would be Cancelled or de-
ferred. Taxpayers liable for in
come taxes under current law must
file returns by March Is.
Would Spread Debt.
The Michigan Representative him.
self proposed collection of taxes on
last years income by spreading the
tax debt over a period of years,
while the taxpayers at the same
time paid on their current year
levies.
There is no reason for Congress
to assume" he said, that we are
going to be flooded with mail de-
handing that We adopt such a sys-
tenn" as proposed by Beardsley
Ruml, chairman of the Federal Re-
serve Bank of New York, before
the committee yesterday.
He said his constituents had not
suggested to him that 1912 tax OBJ
legations be Cancelled. that they were
too well informed and cognizant of
the demands of the times.
Mr.. Crawford criticized Mr.. Ruml
for what he termed an Inference"
that business might cancel the debts
Of Its customers. He said he was
utterly amazed"
Calls It Essay Matter"
Mr.. Ruml had told the committee
that cancellation of customer debts
might be good business for some
concerns and bad business for
others.
I take no stock In his cancel
')ation and remission" Mr. Crawford
said. "He presented no figures, but
II pages. of essay matter"
The Michigan member contended
most taxpayers were able to pay
their 1912 debts and admonished
that cancellation Of the obligation
might result in a spiral Of imitation
resulting from the release of money
saved for tax payment purposes.
He said the people wanted a
sound fiscal policy and they knew
that Mr.. Ruml's proposal to cancel
1912 obligations was dangerous
economic policy"
Mr.. Crawford emphasized that he
favored going on a pay-as-you-go
collection system, but not by tax
debt cancellation.

1t is very much to be hoped that it will work out,
Senator Robert A. Taft predicts that both parties
will have similar foreign policy outlooks in the 1914
presidential campaign But it might be we'll to en-
phasize that this cannot be achieved merely by
trick of platform writing. &v
Leaders high in the councils of the Republican
party-and for the moment we refer to others than
Wendell Willkie--should begin demonstrating now
that they are thinking constructively in terms of
international effort TO preserve the peace we
have fought and it, In recent months, there has
been discernible tendency to beg the question OF
international collaboration Several Republican spokes
men have asserted that iSoatonism is a dead issue,
but fastened to qualify their assertion with ringing
denunciation OF so-callcd nternationalism. If this
indicates nothing else it shows effort to stradde
to substitute Attractive formula of words for
crete peace suggestion.
That progress is being made, however, is shown
by the peace announcements this week by Clarence
Buddington Kelland, Republican National Committee
man from Arizona, and Senator Taft Both have come
long way indeed in their thinking international
affairs in the last two years, at least long way
judged by their words at face value. 5.ftH

solationist, still talks of maintaining American
military and naval colossus To quote him From
this day forth our country must not merely be able
to prepare for but must stand panoplied equipped
to the last button, and ready for war;
We submit that is grim and dreary formula
indeed for maintaining peace, and if it all that
Mr.. Kelland had to suggest would necessarily
conclude that he still back in 1910 If the only
salvation for and civilization is to remain eternay

maintenance of peace. 1t does not matter overmuch,
perhaps that he proposes several things which are
selfconctng and impractical his desire for inter-
national action to maintain peace is sincere.
Senator Taft likewise has committed himself to "a
renewed attempt to prevent the occurrence OF any

is specific in saying what he does favor in

what he advocates. -
