dress of this year's meeting of the

World Suffers Slump
Dr. Moulton opened his address with
a review of the fluctuation of econ-
omic conditions since the signing of
the armistice. Stating that all things
economic find their reflections in gov-
ernmental budgets,. he went on to
give the reasons for the reduction of
the value of currency in the past and
at present.
The real effect of the war on econ-
otic conditions was the poit most

in the four years preceding that time

should be created for this purpose"
was passed at the last business meet-
ing of the organization yesterday. It
also approved of "the movement to
preserve the areas of natural scenic

LA FOLLE'TTE CONGRESSMAN
LEADS RIVALS BY MARGIN
Milwaukee, April 4.-(By A. P.)- +
Hope of President Calvin Coolidge to
obtain at least two Wisconsin dele-
gates pledged to him at the Republi-
can national convention at Cleveland
appeared shattered today by the Vic-
tory of Congressman H. A. Cooper,
La Follette delegate in the first dis-
trict, who defeated the Coolidge dele-
gate J. F. Craig as shown by complete
official returns.
The sole Coolidge Wisconsin dele-
gate as shown by official return is
Thomas Scott, first district, who poll-
ed the second largest vote. The vote;
between Craig and Cooper was close,
less than 600 votes separting the two,
and there still remains the possibility
of a contest. J. B. Cristoph, the other
La Follette district delegate, ran ap-
proximately 2,000 votes behind.Craig.'
In the remainder of the :state, late
official returns failed to change the
previously reported showing of com-
plete victory for LaFollette delegates
and the comfortable leads of delegates
at large pledged to support Gov. Al
Smith at the ;Democratic national con-
vention over the delegates supporting
W. G. McAdoo.

during the progress of the investi-
gation as a rendevouz in recent years
of high governmental officials.
Faced with the mass of material the
committee, already deeply occupied
with executive sessions, inquiry into
war contract questions, decided upon
no recess until Monday.
"The investigation is directing us,
rather than we directing it," Chair-
man Brookhart remarked. During,

"The college student if anything

REVISED SYSTEM1
SENATE FINANCE FACES
I INCOME LOSS PROBLEM
IPresident Announces General Pol.
icy of Opposition to Any
New Taxation
Washington, April 4.--(By A. P.)-
While the senate finance committee,
warned of a $75,000,000 deficit as a re-
sult of the reductions now being car-
ried by the revenue bill, turned to
means of raising new revenue, Presi-
dent Coolidge today announced a gen-
eral policy of opposition to any new
taxes. -
Mr. Coolidge, while not 'expressingJ
any specific attitude of the new taxes,
voted last night by the committee on
radio and mah jongg setS, indicated
he would approve new levies only if
designed to shift the tax burden from
a class or interest now heavily taxed
to a class or interest which might
without injury bear additional taxa-
tion.
Before taking up the remaining ex-
cise, and miscelaneous tax rates in
the bill, Chairman Smoot called the
attention of the committee today to es-
timates which he said showed the bill
as now framed would fail by about
$75,000,000.
This did not take into account the
$3,600;000,000 in special appropriation
bills which have been introduced in
Congress, and of which about $600,-j
000,000 already has been approved
by one house or the other.
