The Democrats, the report showed, will demand the Simmons income tax schedule in place of the Mellon rates, modification of the forms of cooperat- ions and estate taxes, and opening of tax dispute hearings to the publie. The report characterized the commit- tee bill as "fundamentally defective and unscientific" and directed the par- ticular assault on th. Mellon Income tax rates reinserted in the measure in lieu of the Longworth compromise schedule adopted by the hbuse. Reviewing the recent history of fed- eral taxation, the report claimed Democratic attempts to curtail the high war taxes were frustrated by the Republican majority, while when a re- vision of taxes was ordered in the revenue act of 1921 "the Democratic minority urged greater reductions downward, particularly in the normal tax." In proposing the tax plan of Senator Simmons. North Carolina, ranking Democrat on the committee, calling for higher sur taxes and lower nor- mal rates than provided in the Mellon schedule, the minority disclaimed any purpose "to soak the rich',. adding it "profoundly believed that Invisible wealth, the prosperous and thoe with real ability to pay shold bear a great- er. 0hare of the bupdeg of the gov- ernment."A The Sinmons plan egled for a ma- imun siur tax of 40p cent a ppi- cable on incomes of $500,000. The Mellon maximum sur tax would be 25 percent on incoies of 4100,060 and over; whereas the present law calls for a maximum ur tax 'of t O per cent on incomi 'obf $2(),090 and over.

Such efforts, the President declared, must be based upon the firm establish- ment of a definite settlement of Ger- man reparations. With this effected America would well be in a position to- take the lead in promoting an in- ternational conference. Will Be Based on First Conference The president expressed the belief that the proposed conference might well be based on the theory of'the Washington conference of two years ago, which, he called to mind, had to leave unsolved the question of sub- marines, aircrafts and land forces. The conference, he asserted, might take up the codification of international law with an attempt to establish rules of warfare and to determine the right of neutrals. While emphasizing that Europe must first set her economic house in order, Mr. Coolidge declared that there appeared to be every reason to hope that the report of the Reparations commissions committee of experts offers a basis for practical solution of the reparation problem, Speaks Qvjer R.dl-o The President sloke, to 1.000 per- sons, including the editors and pub- Ushers of most of the country's.lead- ing newspapers and to unnumbered millions through 11 of the most power- ful radio broadcasting stations link- ed directly through nmore than 7,000 miles of wire with the. ball room of the hotel Waldorf-Astoria where the luncheon was held.
