j LIVERPOOL,. November 3.?-George
Harvey, the United States ambassador]
to Great Britain, told an audience at
! the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce j
? tonight that it was futile to hope that
! America, as Lord Derby recently had.
' been suggesting, may some day be
merged in a definite alliance with Oreut
Britain and France.
This statement was made as a digres
sion from an address on economics and
the international industrials situation, ;
in which the American ambassador at
tacked communism and socialism and j
defended the principle of individualism.
In his digression Ambassador Harvey J
recalled Lord Derby's statement in a j
recent address at Birmingham, in which
the latter voices the conviction that
the success of the Washington limita- ]
tion of armament conference would j
mean and that its failure wouid mean
war in the immediate future. The
speaker also recalled Lord Derby's sug
gestion to former President Polncare
Of France at a dinner last Tuesday
evening that an Anglo-French alliance
would be desirable In the interests of
peace, intimating the "strong hope"
that America might eventually join the
combination.
"Now it seems to have fallen to my
unhappy lot sii??e I have been in Eng
land," continued Ambassador Harvey.
*'to dispel illusions respecting the at
titude of the United States. I can con
ceive of no more effective service on
the part of an envoy, desirous as I am
of eliminating all causes for misappre
hension, than to set forth, frankly, any
certainty which may bear upon the im
mediate future, however disappointing
it may be to his hearers. In pursuance
of this policy, rightful or wrongful as
it may be. 1 feel impelled to say frank
ly that the hope voiced by Lord Derby
must be regarded as futile.
"Our first President fixed the for
eign policy of the United States clear
ly and unequivocally when he ad
jured his countrymen never to enter a
permanent alliance with any other
power. This policy has been re
affirmed by practically all his suc
cessors. It was reiterated with great
positiveness in our latest national
campaign by our present President,
and was confirmed by a majority of
the people so great as to be beyond
the pale of comparison.
Would Avoid Discussion.
"In view of these circumstances, am
I doing more than stating the wholly
obvious and inescapable fact when I
pronounce the entrance of the United
States into any permanent alliance,
however desirable that action may
seem to be an utter impossibility?
May It not be. then, the part of wis
dom to avoid discussion or'even sug
gestion of a proposal which, however
praiseworthy it may be, could hardly
serve any purpose other than to feed
enemies and distress friends of both
Great Britain and France who live
in America?"
Ambassador Harvey, in d<*alini{ with
the subject of world economics, said
the aftermath of the war was hardlv
less disconcerting and devastating
than was the war itself.
"At the expiration of the ensuing
week," he continued, "we shall have
reached the beginning of the fourth
year following the armistice. Even
then we shall only be approaching
what we hope may prove to be the
first definite and enduring settle
ments looking toward the lifting of
burdens and the establishment of
international agreements or under
standings foreshadowing prosperity,
which can be attained only thr-ju^Ii
the assurance of tranquil relations
amoiwr the powers of the world."
There was, he added, political peace
in a broad sens?. and it was indus
trial peace that now was v>eln? sought
and which must be obtaine ).
"We must face the issue s?iu.'trely
and manfully." he said, "and as it
[ beflts our race. The first funda
mental principle that we must icc
>ognize Is that economic laws are
j superior to legislative enactments."
j Supply and Demnnd Finnic l,aw.
He declared supply and demand
I constituted the basic law of all Indus
try and that a period of what normal
ly would be termed overproduction
should now follow the long period of
underproduction. Instead, however,
he declared both England and Amer
ica had been persistent in underpro
duction.
"While the employer, reluctant to
dispose of present stocks at lower
prices, is willing to sell for prices
approximating the ante-bellum stand
ard all goods hereafter produced." Mr. i
Harvey continued, "employes are ask- !
ing for more money and shorter hours |
now and still more money and still I
shorter hours hereafter. On the part
of both employers and employes It is I
a fatuous policy thus to mock the1
fundamental laws of economics. It is
a perilous policy which, if applied to
international affairs, immensely in
creases the danger of war. Applied
to domestic economics It not onlv
falls to exercise . an influence for
averting Industrial strife, birt very
positively aggravates the situation so
as to Increase the danger of conflict.
"We. of course, do not anticipate
violence or revolution. That is out
of the question: but we would be
blind to the signs of the times if w.e
did not perceive the danger of an in
dustrial war as much exceeding any
hitherto known as the economic dis
turbances caused by and bequeathed
by the great war exceed those of any
former occasion."
Mr. Harvey st>id the way to peace
and prosperity was open if only em
ployers and employes would pursue it,
"even at the co.?t of some privation, ,
though infinitely less than that which
the general public has suffered and is
suffering."
The speaker expressed the hope
that a guarantee not only of peace, i
but of prosperity, would come from j
the Washington conference, which, he ?
said, he anticipated would result in 1
enhanced commercial co-operation as
the logical sequence of the political
concurrence belween Great Britain
and the United States.

SENATORS REECT
SECOND SALES TAX
/
Vote Against New Proposal
by Smoot for One-Half of
One Per Cent.
The Smout plan for u businesi
sales tax of one-half of one per cent
on gross sales exceeding JS.000 a year
was rejected today by the Senate,
4t> to 25.
All those supporting the Smoot
plan were republicans. The demo
crats voted solidly In the opposition
and were joined by twenty-two re
publicans. This was regarded as
ending the efforts to Include a sales
tax provision in the pending revenue
revision bill.
Kale* To* Voted Down.
The Senate iast evening voted down,
43 to 25. the Smoot manufacturer*
sales tax.
In the debate on the defeated man
ufacturers' sales tax plan, some re
publican leaders indicated that a sales
tax might have to be provided ror In
connection with the Soldiers' bonus
bill, which they predicted would be
passed at the next session of Con
gress.
Discussion of the sales tax was
comparatively brief. Senator Smoot
was the chief speaker for the plan,
which was opposed by Senators L*en
root of Wisconsin. McCumber of North
Dakota. McCormick of Illinois and
Nelson of Minnesota on the republican
side and Senators Jones of New Mex
ico. Heflin of Alabam and Simmons
of North Carolina on the democratic
side.

Smoot Plead* for Meaaare.
Senator Smoot contended that the
"government's requirements would be
amply met" through the six sources
of revenue he proposed. He added
that he had reason to believe there
could be a reduction in the rate of
the tax after the next fiscal year.
Turning to the intricacies of pres
ent tax methods, he asserted that his
proposal presented the one hope for
"genuine relief" in that respect.
The amount which he proposed to
levy, he continued, was so small as
to be infinitesimal when considered in
the daily purchases.
opening the argument against the
| sales tax, Senator Lenroot, republican.
! Wisconsin, took issue with Senator
Smoot that 73 per cent of the people
of the country favored the saleg tax.
There had been a great propaganda
for the sales tax, he declared, but
contended that it would not change
the income tax of individuals or cor
porations. A sales tax. he continued,
was Justified only when all other
sources of taxation had been exhaust
ed and the government still was short
of revenue.

BONAR-LAW TAKES
UP IRISH QUESTION
B.? the rresa.
LONDON, November 4.?A. Bonur
Law, one of the most prominent mem
bers of the unionist parly and former
government leader In the house of
commons, conferred with Prime Min
ister Lloyd George last night and is
taking a hand In the effort to reach a
settlement of the Irish question. The
Daily Mail in discussing Mr. Bonar
Law's interview with Mr. Lloyd
George, said today that he would, if
necessary, bring independent Influ
ence to bear upon the extreme union
ists with the view to achieving a com
plete agreement.
The outlook for a successful con
tinuance of the Irish negotiations was
regarded somewhat improved here
today because of recent suggestions
regarding Ulster's possible share in
the settlement and the prospect that
Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier,
would take part in the discussions.
The fact that Ulster members of the
house of commons have said nothing
hostile in reference to the latest pro
posals was regarded as a good omen,
but there was no definite indication
as to the attitude that Sir James
would take.
The government is endeavoring to
And a method to transfer to the
Ulater government powers which
would enable it to function without
delay, it was asserted by the Daily
Mail this morning. This might be
effeoted by an order in council. Which
would obliterate the neceeeity of
waiting for parliament to pass a
speoial bill.
The prime minister had an audience
with the king at Buckingham Palace
last evening. This was not due to de
velopments in the Irish negotiations,
but followed the customary practice
that the premier see the king on his
return to London from Sandringham.
It is believed, however, that Mr. Lloyd
George reported to the king on the
progress of *the negotiations.

"Germany had reached before the

Senator Watson took up the state
ment of Newton D. Baker, former
Secretary of War, that the senator's
charges were "preposterous and in
credible."
"Little Newt had to get in." said
Senator Watson. laughing. "Poor
little Newt."
Referring to Mr. Baker's statement
that France, during the war, was a
"clvlliied"' country, and that any
illegal executions soon would have
been made public, Senator Watson
said that France had charged this
government for roads upon which to
haul troop trains and the very
trenches used bj the American
forces.
Senator Watson then proceeded to
read letters and other documents deal
ing with alleged hangings of America
soldiers, which, he said, in number
"long since has passed the Angers on
the one hand of the senator from New
York (8enator Wadsworth); are near
the figures of Secretary^ Week*, and
soon will reach the figure which I
gave."
Senator Watson said he had "fur

zine quoting an unnamed officer as
saying that he was informed that
the Red Cross "had built a gallows
for the A. E. F. on which to hanit

Ballou Praises Work of Parent
Teacher Groups.
Work of the parent-teacher asso
ciations in the schools was commend
ed by Supt. Frank W. Ballou at a
meeting of the Columbia Junior High
School Parent-Teacher Association
last night iir the sohoul. He also em
phasized the need of a parent-teacner
association In every public school
Need of a library in the school was
stressed by Mis? Alice Deal^pr!l*cl
pal. Other speakers were,^te'J,lI?}
JS. Kramer, assistant superintendent
of schools, and Charles A. Crowell.
both of whom praised the work of the
Junior High School. ,
Confidence In the administration of
Supt. Ballou and other school officials
was voted by the association.
Representative Lampert, at
Hearing, Says 48 Per Cent
Is Too Large.
Belief that the high price of milk in
Washington to the consumer is due
largely to the fact that the distributors ,
are getting approximately 4S per cent,
<fl the price, which he thinks is a little .
too large a share, was expressed today
by Representative Lampert of W iscon
sin. chairman of the subcommittee of
the House District committee conduct-!
ing hearings regarding Washington s
milk supply.
Emphatic testimony in support of the
position of the District health offlce in
requiring that all milk
brought Into the District for home con
sumption shall come from tuberculin
tested herds was given by experts rep
resenting the United States Department
of Agriculture and the state of Mar>
land.
Attarneya' Opposition.
The principal contention at the
ing centers around whether the Distric.
supplv of milk should come ffom tuber
culin-tested herd*, or whether Pj"|'*"""
zatlon alone is sufficient. The. District
health offlce is insisting that both safe
guards are necessary, while the attor
neys Jar the distributors are urging that
both kinds of milk be allowed here in
the open market.
Dr. John J. Kelrnan. chief of the
eradication of tuberculosis division, bu
reau of animal Industry. Department of
Agriculture, made a strong argument in
favor of a compulsory tuberculin test.
J A. Gample. professor of dairy
husbandry in the University of Mary
land. who said he appeared as repre
sentative of the dairy industry and
the population of Maryland at the
hearing, and who has been all his
life in the dairy industry and for the
past sixteen years particularly con
cerned with conditions in production,
distribution and control of inilk, as
well as seeing the problems from the
I side of the consumer, supported the
District health offlce. _ .
J. A. Barbour, a milk producer and
attorney, speaking for the* Maryland
Virginia Milk Producers' Association,
said that the producers had been at
tacked at the hearing, subjected to
all sorts of charges, held up as
profiteers and as ready to starve the
i people, all of which charges were
false, he said, and asked an oppor
tunity for the producers to refute
these" charges.
Representative Lampert assured
him that a full opportunity would be
granted the producers. Representa
tive Hammer of North Carolina also
announced that he would insist upon
the producers being granted a full
hearing.
Hefera <? Death Statistics.
.Representative Hammer put into the
record a letter handed to him by Rep
resentative Dan Reed of New York,
recognised as an expert in civic Im
provement work, which was signed
by C. C. Pierce, acting surgeon gen
eral of the public health service, in
I which it was staled: "About 9 per
! cent of the deaths from tuberculosis
i In man is caused by the bovine tuber
cle bacillus, most of the victims being
children. Raw market milk of the
I cheaper grades sold in most cities fre
quently contains bovine tubercle ba
cilli."
I Representative Reed is endeavoring
to make tuberculin tests compulsory
In his home state. New York.
Representative Hammer also put in
the record statistics fufnished him
by Representative Beck at Wisconsin
showing the price of milk In all the
principal cities, with the cost of trans
portation and other related figures.
I Dr. Gamble assured the committee
that his experience for fifteen years
has shown him that the public wants
the best safeguards that it can get
on milk and that the real assurance
of a clean milk supply for the city of
Washington rests with the interests
of the 1.500 dairymen and helpers who I
supply this milk. He asserted that ,
the District health office was right in >
Insisting upon a tuberculin test for j
the dairy herds. He also told the
committee that the Virginia-Maryland j
Producers' Association was organized j
with the hearty co-operation and sup
port of the dairy division of the De
partment of Agriculture and the hus
bandry division of the state of Mary
land.

"It woit'd b*- extremely unfortunate

of their paper currency in terms of
gold would correspondingly ris?.
This would tend to stabilize interna
tional exchange anff make it possibb
I for America to sell .her agricultural
and manufactured products in for
eign markets again. It would mean
a revival of business ami an end of
unemployment. Also, it vould mear.
that the European countries which
owe America billions of dollars would
be able to begin payments on then
war debt and interest. The receipt
of a half billion dollars of interest
alone from Europe would mean av im
mediate easing of the burden on the
American taxpayer. Behind the urge
for limitation of armament are prac
tical and material reasons as well *u>
Idealistic conceptions.
But how can armament be limited?
This correspondent has canvassed the
highest army and navy officials.
They talk in terms of reJativity. If
America ceases building so many
ships, so shall the others. If Amer
ica givt-s up so many fortifications. so
shall the others. And so on. But the
navy men admit that in the end the
proportion of strength between the
large powers will remain the same,
i They see no other way out of it. They
| concede the necessity for a reduction
of the financial burden, but they
zealously insist on holding the United
States as the second naval power, if
not the first.
Undoubtedly British policy will be
the same. Japan would be prevented
from catching up with America or
passing the United States and men
acing the British seapower. if such
a stupendous job could really be
borne by Japanese people, which is
to be doubted.. The Japanese, how
ever. would be checked?America and
England would stand still, and money
would be saved. That's about as con
crete a program as one hears dis
cussed in Washington.
Rests on Foreign Policy.
As for coast defense in. the Pacific.'
the fortifications of strategic bases
and all that sort of thing our military
and naval experts talk as if they were
preparing for eventualities in the Pa
cific irrespective of the outcome of
the conference on far eastern prob
lems. If they had more faith In
Japanese pledges, that wouldn't be
the case. So, in order to hold the
military and naval set in America at
| bay, and to keep the same class from
running away with the Japanese bud
get annually, the diplomats will have
j to make an agreement that will have
the potential support not only of the
! Navy of the United States, but that of
| Great Britain and other signatories
I to the agreement?a general alliance
for the common good and against
I militarism. It's to be a sort of league
I of nations in the Pacific to prevent
I the growth of that same kind of reck
I lessness in the far east, whicli the
; late war and its subsequent league of
nations were designed to cure in'Eu
rope.
The whole thing rests on foreign
policy, which is fully discussed in
