In conversation with the correspond- ent of the Associated Press vesterday ke said in such event he would, first of all, abolish the censorship and re- establish liberty of the individual and the press and would allow peaceful political assembly, which is at pres- ent prohibited, so as to create virile open public opinion, which he declared had been crushed. Furthermore, he would abolish the nt drastic finapcial and economic ws, would seek a Ipan in the United States or elsewhere, would encourage the entry of American or other for- eign capital to develop Rumania’s vast Pesources, which he said are dormant, owing to the narrow policy of nation- alization. ~ —_— T Teacher Wins $1,000.

The program was glven as a benefit performance for . Rose's Technical School of this and high officials of the Roman Catholic Church were in the audi- ence. The leader of the choirs, Rt. Rev Mgr.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1927. MELLON TAX CUT BACKED BY TILSON House Leader Joins Secre- tary in Keeping Reduction Down to $225,000,000. Administration leaders have set up 1 “stop” sign for Congress on just how far it is safe to proceed along the road- way for tax reduction to keep within (he safe limit figured by the Treasury Department. At the Capitol, Representative Til- son, the Republican House leader, backed up the Treasury recommenda- tion for a cut not in excess of $225,- 000,000 and at the department itself Secretary Mellon reiterated that the Treasury figure represented the maxi- mum slice that could be effected with safety. While Tilson and the Secretary withheld specific reference to the an- nouncement by the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States reiterating its belief that a reduction of $400,000, 000 should be authorized, both con tended that it would be dangerous i Congress exceeded the limit proposed by the Treasury and favored by I'resi dent Coolidge. Seeretary Mellon said that he be- lieved the corporation tax, now 1313 per cent, was too high and should be reduced as soon as possible, even be- low the 11'; per cent figure approved by the House ways and means commit- tee for incorporation in the new tax bill that it has drafted. The Treasury favors an immediate cut in the corporation rate to 12 per cent, but Mr. Mellon indicated that his department did not regard the forthcoming tax reduction as the last to be recommended and that this levy probably would come in for more con- sideration in a future tax bill.
