ne, v.
Tito denial seems to have been
prompted by a circumstantial state?

thority, printed here to-day that such
negotiations had been begun last night
b; Louis Loucbeur, French .Minister of
Liberated Regions, and Leonid Kras
r,in. Russian Soviet Minister of Trade
and Commerce.
I*, was said at the Foreign Office
to'-day that France had had no direct
c nimunication with the? Russian Soviet
government for a long time on anj
subject other than mere details of the
repatriation of prisoners.
It wa-; pointed out also that George
Louis, former Frene!; Minister to
Peti igrad, to whom in one version of
' I ' rv the ?nil iative ; n t he reputed
negotiations between Krassin a:id tit?
French government was attributed, had
been dead for three years.

Mellon to Offer
Revised Copy o?
Tax Plans To-day
Will Appear in Person to
Discuss Kail Financing
Before Department Heads
and Hou?e Committee
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.- Tre
Secretary Mellon is to reappear
morro-* before the House Ways and
Means C mmittee and is expi ted to
present the revised copy of his
memorandum containing possible new
sources for taxation. Committee
hers had expected to receive the cop:-'
to-day. but after an invitation had
been sent to the Secretary to reap?
pear lie decided to present the
norandum in person.
'. sa,rm.cn Fordney said Mr. Mell n
??? u] i be recalled to discus-: ' I
financing, with which four government
departments the Treasury. "War
Finance Corporation, Railroad Admin?
istration and Interstate Commerce
Commission -have to do. It is ex
pei ? - d, however, that the Seer itai :
will be questioned about some of the
revisions made in the original
memorandum presented on Mon
Nature Not Disclosed
The nature of the changea has n
beeil disclosed, but it is unde
thai some additions have been ma !c
the original document following c n
ferences among Treasury officials.
Republican members of the commil
tee held two extended sessions, dis?
cussing with Dr. T. S. Adams, a frqa?
ury tax expert, the grouping of vari
administrative features of the bill and
ol 1er changes which would make for
simplification in determining taxes,
Chairman Fordney said some vei '
helpful suggestions had been receivi
The extent to which the present law
is to be rewritten by the committee
remains to be determined, but if the
suggestions made by Treasury expeji !
are followed the old bill will be ?arce:;
rewritten. This probably would delay
if; presentation to the House consider
rbly beyond the time heretofore ex?
pec ted.
To Study AH Phases
Chairman Fordney and other mem?
bers emphasize the magnitude of th?
task before the committee and they sa;,
it is proposed to go carefully into all
phases since the bill is expected t
stund for a number of years. Railroad
financing is only one of a list of sub
jects. coming in for careful study am
after the majority members have
agreed upon an approximate total ol
the revenues needed next year thej
.'?till will have before them the tasking
of reaching an agreement as ti> what
tax changes are to be mad".
Apparently the members now ar<
somewhat far apart as to the actua
amount of tnx^s that it will be neces
sary to raise. Ii has been estimate?
that the present law will yield r.pprox
imately $3,700,000.000 this fiscal year
tut revisions suggested would reduci
this total. All members of the com
mittee are not yet satisfied that thi:
can be done wich safely.
Since the Treasury suggestions foi
new taxes were resented on Monday
there has been evidence of an increas
ing opposition to a repeal of the ex
cess profits tax, but apparently thosi
championing this chango in thi lav
do not believe that this oppositio
has reached such proportions as t<
threaten defeat of the plan.
