PARIS, September 19.—French Pre- mier Pierre Laval, who is going to Ber- lin next week end for a talk with Chancellor Heinrich Bruening of Ger- many, would probably be willing to go to Washington soon thereafter for a talk with President Hoover, it bas been learned.

Direct diplomacy has become the fashion. ~ Personal meetings among heads of states, begun by President Hoover and British Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald at the Rapidan River Camp, are now frequent. The events surrounding the Hoover debt holiday proposal proved that between no two states is a closer understand- ing necessary than between the United States, which is generally thought to be the strongest power in the world, and France, which is generally thought to_be the strongest power in Europe. ‘This not mean that-the good Anglo-American and German-American relations would be interfered with in | | Waiting GUY EDWARD HUDSON.

DETROIT, September 19.— Battle lines for an impending fight on the veterans’ bonus question- were - being drawn today as ex-service men' from every section of the country invaded the city for next week's American Le- glon Convention. National Comdr. Ralph T. O'Neil made plain, in a statement yesterday, 1 |that delegates will be. offered every fa- cllity for free discussion of the bonus question during the convention sessions. ‘What the decision will be on advocacy ; |of immediate payment of bonus certifi- cates at face value, he said, no one disarmament con- ference ever be brought to a successful conclusion?

Briand’s successor, sooner or later, in the Prench foreign ministry. M. Prancois-Poncet will have five days to prepare for the conversations. Fri- day, according to the latest plans, M. Laval and M. Briand will take a train for Berlin accompanied by Dr. Leopold von Hoesch, German Ambassador to Prance, and—the world will see what ‘happens. v Pact Revision Is Real Issue. ‘The real issue which divides Prance and Germany. as by an abyss, is re- vision of the treaties. Germany wants the reparations canceled, wants equal armaments with France, wants to unite with Austria ultimately despite the re- cent decision of the World Court and, | above all, wants to regain from Poland the so-called Polish corridor and upper Silesia. In addition, Germany would like to have a loan from France. France wants fulfillhent of the treaty | terms and co-operation for world peace. Tt is reedy to admit treaty revision only in minor details and only in so far 25 Germany shows & co-operative rather than a hostile spirit. A solution to the treaty revision problem, according to the French theory, is a European union, which would render the question of frontiers secondary. Parley to Be Economic. Tt took ‘only a few minutes when M. Laval and Herr Bruening met in Paris last July for esch to conclude that, with the best will in the world, political and financial discussions in these condi- ticns were bound to lead nowhere. In the famous Calais steamer agreement, it was decided to drop financial and political issues and concentrate on eco- nomic co-operation. It is therefore along this line that the agenda of the French visit to Ber- lin is being organized.

By the Assoclated Press. Collection of $100,001,991 of income taxes on September 16 sent Treasury receipts from that source to $153,407,828 for the month, or $46,000,000 above the figure for the same period last year. The jump was caused, partially at least, by a change in the method of computation. Last year the collections were counted for the day after being deposited, while this year they are being computed as of the day of deposit, giv- ing this year's figures the advantage of one extra day. Collections fon the fiscal year also showed an increase of approximately $36,000,000,000 over the same period of the last fiscal year, totaling $199,987,294. Government still had a deficit of $387,786,525 on September 16. A year ago the deficit on that date was $282,325,851. Total receipts for the fiscal year amounted to $426,180,789, while “the total expenditures were $813,967,314. Science Humans Get Dog Distemper Without Any Symptoms. ‘When a man bites a dog ... .

Walsh, Democrat, | of Montana, yesterday said he favored tax revision to place additional levies on large incomes.
