WAR PUSSIBILITY SEENINFAR EAST Growing Hostuluty Marked as Japan and Russia Pre- pare Troops. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. A conflict between Japan and the| Boviet Republic is considered in usually | well informed Washington circles as & possibility. For months the relations between | the two countries have been strained. Russia has been massing troops and large quantities of supplies and war material in Siberia in the vicinity of the Manchurian border while Japan has | The leaders been sending important reinforcements into Manchuria. Both nations, how- ever, maintained they had no bellicose intentions, and that their troop move- ments were mere precautionary meas- | ures; Japan, it was officially said, had to send large forces into Manchuria because of the local situation, while Russia massed some eight or nine di- visions because of the unrest close to heér borders. In the last few weeks the Russian officials spoke quite openly about the danger of war. The Japanese said| nething that could be interpreted ‘hl‘\ they intended to attack Russis, but has- | tened to sign a truce with the Chinese in.

The Japanese government is reported | tobe incensed mgainst Russia because | during the last few weeks the Chinese “rebels” in Manchuria have been un- usually active. They aré better equipped than last Fall, when the letnse began the invasion of that province, and intense annoyance of the Japanese,| seven or eight airplanes, which are making the situation of the Japanese | Mq troops operating in his zone decidedly unpleasant.

Sales Tax for Emergency Enactment of Such a Levy Would End Unrest of Business and Could for Any % Note—This article, written by an on tar: ‘cn methods in the nited States, is tiie fifth of a ufia ’enflud to show why the sales taz hould be adopted instead of indis- $riminate revenue-raising measures. ONTHS ago it became evident that the revenue from the in- come tax would be cut more than one-half. The fallacy of depending upon that tax for tl fourths of our revenue then be- 1;. clearly apparent, A frantic search for new sources was . & search which has probably done more to ac- centuate the depression than any other factar. It has been suggested that Govern- ment, like other business concerns, should maintain a reserve. The best reserve that the Government could | maintain would be one or mor: emer- gency taxes, with a wide base and low rates that might be increased when oc- casion demanded. If it had been known, even a year the Government would take to secure additional revenue, the adjustment in business to take care of the situation would have long since been completed. | Instéad, there is hardly s concern in the country which, figuratively speak- | ing, does mot cower in fear, wondering | what will happen next.
