PEACE DELEGATES | PAY WILSON HONOR Danish Woman Lauds War Presi- { dent’s Services to Humanity. BAYS HE WAS MISUNDERST00D Members Here Will Call on the President. When the name of Woodrow Wil- Bon was mentioned at the interna- tional congress of the Women's In- ternational League of Peace and ¥reedom in the Washington Hotel today it drew from the gathering, in which were represented most of the civilized nations of the world, long and enthusiastic applause. _The former President of the United States was one of those whom the league eulogized. Mlle. Edna Tybjerg of Denmark was selected to read a memorial paper in honor of Mr. Wil- mon. Shé referred to him as “a prophet who shared the lot of prophets.” Service to World. Mr. Wilson's fight to make pos- slble the self-determination of Deoples, the speaker said, had accom- Dlished’ by ballot what otherwise might_have resulted in more blood- shed. She referred to the restoration of Sonderjylland to Denmark when an overwhelming majority of its resi- dents voted to return to the sov- erignty of that nation. *“The recovery of our lost territory,” Mlle. Tybjerg concluded, “was in the fipst order due to the wisdom and vision of this great man, a man who was not quite understood in his own country nor by his own time, per- haps, but who kept his heart burning for a great idea. It is by his struggle for righteousness, by his passionate Jove for humanity, that history will Temember Woodrow Wilson.” Will See Coolidge. Immediately after the memorial Fervices the congress settled down to consider a number of suggested fhanges in its international constitu- fion. “The majority of them were of & fmore or less unimportant nature and fvere adopted after being explained. ©ne, however, which would have rhanged the method of selecting in- iernational officers, was voted down ffter considerable debate. The congress will come to an end flomorrow after the election of offi- cers. Most of the delegates, however, will remain over to visit points of interest and a special visit is_to be made to the tomb of George Wash- interest, and a special visit is_to be <eive the visitors at the White House. Many of the members of the league ill then make a tour of the United States on the “peach special” which will stop at many of the more im- portant cities of the country. Will Entertain Delegates.

N.W. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.. C, TUESDAY, MAY b, 71924 Recognize and Appropriate the Distriet’s Accumulated Surplus Petition by Citizens’ Joint Committee for Use of Unspent Tax Money on Fifty-Fifty Basis. Petition to Congress urging enact- ment of Senate bill 703, giving effect to the findings of the joint congres- sional committee concerning the ex- istence and amount of the accumulat- ed tax surplus to the credit of the District of Columbia in the Treasury of the United States, To the Congress of the United States: Your petitioners, the Citizens' Joint Committee on the Fiscal Relations be- tween the United States and the Dis- trict of Columbia—representing the Board of Trade, the Chamber of Com- merce, tke Merchants and Manufac- turers Association, the Federation of Citizens' Associations, the Bar A sociation, the Columbia. Heights Citi zens' Association, the Georgetown Citizens’ Asociation, the City Club, the District of Columbia Bankers As- sociation, the Real Estate Board, the Rotary Club, the Kiwanis Club and the Civitan Club—respectfully repre- sents: In the last Congress a joint con- gressional committee, composed of Senators Phipps, Ball and Harris and 1 Representatives Hardy, Wright and Evans, with Senator Lawrence C. Phipps as chairman, made exhaustive investigation of the fiscal relations of Nation and Capital, and, as instruct- ed, ascertained and reported (1) What surplus, if any, the District of Co- lumbia had to its credit on the books of the Terasury of the United States, which has been acquired by taxation or by licenses, and (2): What money is due, either legally or morally, from the United States to the District or from the District to_the United States. This committee, after thorough in- vestigation, reported fully, and now submits for the purpose of giving effect to its findings Semate bill 703, which reads as follows: * ¥ ¥ ¥ “Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that, pursuant to the report of the joint select committee appointed under the provisions of the act entitled “An act making appro- priations for the government of the District of Columbia and other activ- {ties chargeable in whole or in part against the revenues of such Dis- trict for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1923, and for other purposes” approved Jume 29, 1922 (a) There shall be credited to the general account of the District of Columbia required under the pro- visions of the first paragraph of such act to be kept in the Treasury De- partment the following sums: (1) $7,574,416.90, representing the balance in the general fund in the Treasury for such District on June 30, 1922, and (2) $665.46, representing an ad- justment of certain errors; and . (b) There shall be charged to such account the following sums: (1) $2,903,219.93, representing the District's proportion of unexpended balances of appropriations on June 30, 1922, together with certain obli- gations and encumbrances accruing after such date, (2) $191,890.35, representing the District's proportion of the annual bonus paid to certain employes of the District. (3) $41,500, representing the Dis- trict's proportion of the cost of addi- tional land for the National Zoologi- cal Park, and i (4) $317.16, representing the Dis- trict’s proportion of an amount ap- propriated by special act of Congress for the relief of Eldred C. Davis. Such credits and charges to the general accounts of the District of Columbia shall be made without the payment of interest thereon by either the United States or the District of Columbia; and the making of such credits and charges shall be held to be in full satisfaction of all claims and demands either for or against the United States or the Dis- trict of Columbia in respect to the items involved therein. The sum of $4,435,154.92, repre- senting the difference between such credits and charges, is hereby made permanently available in such ac- count of the District of Columbia for appropriation by the Congress for such purposes as it may from time to time provide. “Provided, That nothing contained in this act shall be construed to de- prive the District of Columbia, as of and on June 30, 1922, in additionto the sum named herein, of credit for the surplus of revenucs of said District collected and deposited in the Treas- ury of the United States during the fiscal year 1922, over and above all appropriations and other charges for that year; or of credit for the unex- pended balances of District of Colum- bia appropriations covered into the surplus fund by warrant of the Sec- retary of the Treasury issued on June 30, 1922; or of credit for the Propor- tion the District of Columbia may be entitled to of miscellaneous receipts paid directly into the Treasury dur- ing the fiscal year 1922; or of credit for the amount erroneously charged against the revenues of the District for the fiscal year 1922 on account of appropriations made by the third de- ficiency act, fiscal year 1922, approved July 1, 1922, as the amount of said appropriations were charged against the revenues of the District of Co- Jumbia for the fiscal year 1923, total- ing the sum of $819,373.83, which is included in the total sum of $2,903.- 219.93 mentioned in line §, page 2, of this bill, and taken into account in arriving at the net balance of $4,438,- .92, above state B Foviasd further, That the con- troller general of the United States shall ascertain and determine whether the items mentioned in the preceding proviso were improperly taken into account in arriving at the net bal- ance of $4,438,154.92, and if, and to the extent that, any or all of said items shall be so determined to have been improperly taken into account, the amount thereof shall be added to the said fund of $443815492 and likewise shajl be available perma- nently in the general account of the District ‘of Columbia for appropria- tion by the Congress for such pur- poses as it may from time to time provide: And provided further, That the controller general shall submit to OREGON TROUT EGGS FOR CZECHOSLOVAKIA Steamship Pittsburgh Sails Today ‘With Gift of Five Thousand for Prague.

The finding by the joint congres- sional committee that the District tax surplus is not a myth but a concrete fact, raising a distinct obligation not to be waved aside, is based upon and sustained by (1) The authoritative certificate of the controller general of the United States. (2) The report of the offictal ac- countants of the congressional joint committee, of the Treasury account- ants and of the auditor of the District of Columbia. (3) Analysis of the conditions cre- ating this surplus demonstrates its concrete existence and the definite oblization, legal and equitable, at- tached to it. (4) Analysis of the District audi- tor's figures of net surpluses or def- icits in District tax revenue under the organic act of 1878 for the fiscal years 1900 to 1920, inclusive, makes the same conclusive demonstration. (5) Congress, in 1903, recognized that there could be and would be such things as surplus revenues of the District by directing -that the ad- vances which it was then making to meet District tax deficits should be “reimbursed to said Treasury from time to time out of the surplus rev- enues of the District of Columbia.” (6) After District deficits had been converted into surpluses, Congress recognized the existence of such sur- pluses in the Treasury by applying portions of these surpluses to the payment of alleged ancient indebted- nesses of the District to the United States, by law specifically transfer- ing to the United States sums from ‘the amount in the Treasury of the Unjted States to the credit of the Dis- trict of Columbia.” (7) The United States has recog- nized credit items in its favor accru- ing from deficits in District tax rev- enue created by the operation of the half-and-half law and has reimbursed itself from District revenues with in- terest for advances to meet these def- icits It cannot, legally or equitably refuse to recognize the corresponding debit items in the shape of surpluses of collected and unexpended District taxes. (8) The United States recognized this equitable principle in dealing with surpluses or deficits in applying for two years (fiscal years 1821 and 1922) the temporary sixty-forty ratio in District appropriation bills by car- rying over surpluses or deficits into the succeeding year. * k kox The legal obligation thus created and thus demonstrated to exist is not weakened, but strengthened by equitable and moral considerations. There are no offsets in the shape Of United States credits, either in the period since 1878 or the period be- tween 1874 and 1S7S, other than those found and reported by the comgres- aional joint committee, to make a net reduction of the reported amount ef the District’s present tax surpius. The legal and moral obligation thus demonstrated to exist, is equitably satisfied only by the application of the surplus in accordance with the halt and half law, under which it was ac- cumulated to meet the District’s half of the expense of negleeted municipal needs of the war-time, which neglects permitted its accumulation. Applica- tion of the surplus under any ether ratio is unequitable. For the reasons above recited your petitioners urge enactment of Senate bill 703 to the end of securing action by Congress, which will, Soris, “deantet ‘and ity T ports, y set at rest existing contentions and com- filcts between the District and Fed-| eral governments.” THEODORE W.

By the Associated Press. ‘TOKIO, May 6.—The Japanese nation is_experiencing unpleasant suspense while President Coolidge and his ad- visers are considering the fate of the American immigration bill, the Eng- lish language editor of the Tokio Nichi Nichi stated in a leading article today. Declaring “our national homor is resting on the President's desk for his final disposal,” the Nichi Nichi ex- pressed doubt of Mr. Coolidge’s ability to sign_the bill and at the same time avoid offending Japan. Commenting on the benefits which might follow final passage of the measure, the newspaper continved: “Bolshevist tendencies which characterize the latest thought movements will lose their appeal to the younger generation, whose imagina- tion has been fired by the emotional appeals of radical dreamers. Japan's real danger is here and not outside. This blow will surprise the spirit of indolence which war prosperity nur- tured through the nation. “However, we deplore profoundly that the Senate's recant action wiil imprint indelibly on the hearts of this people that no true lasting friendship can grow between nations divided by blood and color.

PROMISES TO REPAIR NORTH CAPITOL TRACKS ‘Ham Assures Citizens Worst Sec- tions Will Be Fixed Up in Near Future. Street car tracks on North Capitol street, about which the North Wash- ington Citizens' Association has.re- peatedly complained, will be repaired within a few months, William F. Ham, president of the Washington Railway and Electric Company, told the asso- clation, meeting at the United Breth- ren Church last night. At the same time Mr. Ham said the railway com- pany had recently put into use on the Anacostia line ten new type one-man cars, which he declared were ideal from every viewpoint. The associa- tlon at a recent meeting, declared the condition of the tracks on North Cap- itol street from R to T were de- plorable and urged that the speed of cars be reduted to six miles an hour over these tracks. Work on the tracks on North Capitol street beyond the pit at V streec must wait on pav- ing work to be done by the District, Mr. Ham told the association. The association went on record in opposition to the proposal to substi- tute a lump sum appropriation for the present 60-40 fiscal relationship between the District and federal gov- ernments. A resolution was passed urging that the Sepate restore to the school appropriations an item of $5,000 for preparation of plans for the proposed new McKinley High School Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson, pastor of the Bethany Baptist Church, told the association of plans for erecting a new church on th cormer of 2d street and Rhode Island avenue. Gen. C.
