LLOYD GEORGE'S VIEWS ON ALLIANCE WITH JAPAN London, Aug. 15—(By the A. P.)— “If the alliance with Japan could be merged into a greater understanding with Japan and the United States on all the problems of the Pacific that would be a great event, and it would.be a guar- antee for the peace of the worl Thus spoke Dasid Lioyd George be- fore the House of Commons today in out- lining the work of the recent conference of the imperial premie The premier was dealing specifically wita the Anglo-Japanese alliance at the time and explaining how the conference had unanimously recognized that Japan loyally had carried out her obligations to Great Britain during the war, in let- ter and in spirit. Mr. Lloyd George asked it it was to be suggested that Great Britain now should turn her back upon Japan with a mere thang you and good-bye, after Japanese aid had pioved one of the turn- ing factors in the war, in that it had given protection to the transit of domin- fon and Indian troops across seas. Even countries #isliking the Anglo-Japanese al- liance would despise the British if after such services Great Britain turned her back. upon Japan. The premier sald he saw no reason why it should be impossible to remember obligations to Japan and at the same time preserve a spirit of fraternity with the United States. It was a cardinal principle of British policy, he continued that Great Britain should act in as complete accord with the United States as possible. He did not know of any country in tte world with which it was more impertant to act in concert. He declared that the surest way to make a Success of the dis armament conferenc: was first to reach an’ understanding on Pacific. questions, and he hoped his view in tuis respect would be taken at the Washington gath- ering.

To the Chinese peojle the note of ac- ceptance declared the questions of the Pacific and Far Fast appear to be ques- tions affecting tne peace of the wom of the present day. There was an ex- pressicn of special satisfaction that China should be permitted to sit in the coun- cils of the great powers on a footing of equality, and it was added that the Chir ese government had no desire to limit the scope of the discussions nor turn them into any controversial channel that might endanger the result. Coincident with the receipt of the note from Peking advices reacted the state department that the Chinese delezation to the conference probably would number about 100 persons, including clerks and other attaches.

Tax Revision Bill Amendments Are Under Con- sideration by the Republi- can Committeemen. Washington, Aug. 18—Many amend- ments to the republican tax bill will be offered on behalf of the majority members of the ways and means coillmittee before the house takes a final vote on the meas- ure late Saturday. Several changes were agreed puon today by the republican committeemen and upwards of half & committeemen and upwards of half a hundred others will be considered early tomorrow before the bill is taken up in the house for amendment. One change voted today by the com- mittee was elimination of the proposed annual license tax of $10 on vendors of soft drinks. Under another alteration individual taxpayers would pay 12 1-2 pér cent on profits from the sale of cap- ital assets if such profits and the tax- Pavers normal income exceeded $29,000. Under the bill before the house they would be required to pay 15 per cent on_the excess over $40,000, It also was decided tentatively to ex- empt from taxation the government al- lowances received by veterans of the civil and Sapnish-American wars or their beneficiaries as well as those received by individuals under the war risk and vo- cational rehabilitation acts. Other amendments known to be under consideration would exempt manufact- urers of tooth paste and powder from teh tax on toilet”preparations and would define as foreign trade corporations busi- ness organizations which derive 50 percent of their intome from sources without the United States. The figure in the bill is 80 per cent. This class of income would not be taxable.

Principal speakers for the dem- ocrats were Representatives Oldfield, of Arkansas, and Cockran, of New York, and for the republicans Representatives Green, of Iowa, and Lengworth, of Ohio, members of the ways and means commit- tee. Mr.*Cockran attacked not only the bill itself, but the rule under which the dem- ocrats claim they will be cut off from offering any amendments to the bill Using treasury estimates to support his arguments that the tax bill would re sult in a huge government deficit at tie end of this fiscal year Mr. Cockran de- clared that if the treasury went into tr market for $1,000,000,000 of money to help pay ordinary expenses of the gov- ernment there would be a panic, Readil's official statements by former President Wilscn, and former democrat- ic secretaries of the treasury urging re- peal of the excess profits tax, Represent- ative Longworth told the demograts that in opposing this repeal they were repu- ing the democratic platform. You are getting your orders by tele- graph from Scotland Neck,"™ Mr. Tong- worth saoid, referring to majority lead- er Kitchin's Gespatch to the democratic caucus, urging solid democratie opposition to the bill. “I hink the majority of my party made a mistake in deferring to January 1, next, the repeal of the high- er sur-taxes and excess profits tax, but I acquiesce. These two taxes are the greatest shackles we have on business and industry and-the greatest burdens on both producer and consumer.” Representative Woodruff republican, Michizan, announced that he mould op- pose the bill while another republican, Representative John M. Nelson, of Wis- consin, spoke azainst. PRINCE REGENT ALEXANDER STRICKEN WITH APPENDICITIS Paris, Aug. 13—(By the A.
