The paragraphs quoted above
were not written yesterday, al
though they are very much the
same sort of thing that many peo
ple are saying today. They were
printed in Harper’s Weekly on Oc
tober 10, 1857, seventy-four years
ago.
If in these seventy-four years
there had been no change we would
have good ground for pessimism
now. But everybody knows that

gation as being of any importance.
The only thing Borah said that the
President backed was his declara
tion that every European nation
must be left as the best judges of,
its own security.
Both the President and M. Laval
agreed any action on disarmament
must be held up until the Interna
tional conference is held next year I
to discuss that subject. They also
agreed that the present costs of

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
their individual aims and purposes.
Before even the leaders of the
governments of France and the
United States clasped hands a def
inite statement was issued that
nothing that might be done or said
was to be taken as having a bind
ing effect on either country. That
statement disposed of any possible
criticism that Mr. Hoover was
about to engage in any of the “en
tangling foreign alliances” that
political spellbinders use so effec
tively in campaigns.
The greatest good accomplished,
diplomats here believe, was the
clear enunciation on the part of the
United States that it would not fol
low England’s example and forsake
the lifetiipe df most men who read the gold standard. That was
this paper—has there been so much France’s greatest anxiety and to
grave and deep apprehension; nev- prevent such action was understood
er has the future seemed so incal-!to be Premier Laval s nain object
culable as at this time. In our own in coming here. It was agreed at

“It is a gloomy moment in his
tory. Not foj many years—not in
good times cannot be expected to
return until some solution is found :
of this problem.
In recent weeks, feelers have
been put out for the purpose of
sounding public sentiment regard-
ing lie 'mposition of additional
sales taxes. So far the only thing
learned is that all are agreed «his
country must raise more revenue in
addition to the present means of
raising money by incomd taxes, the
customs, inheritance and other
forms. Coupled with this :1s uhe
known fact that sales taxes bear
lightest upon the voter, if properly
laid.
Right after the war taxes were
placed on all theatre tickets, auto
mobiles and other articles which
could not be classed as necessities.
Most of these have been abolished.
Those still survivng are cigarettes,
tobaccos, patent medicines, playing
cards and a few similar articles.
The loss'from excess duties on beer,
wines and liquors, has been heav
iest and, of course, there is no talk
of altering that condition by any
modification of the Volstead Act
by the present government.
The new taxes may be applied on
matches, radio sets, pianos, silk
wearing apparel and other articles
which can be placed outside of the
necessity line. This is the only
country in the world which does not
tax matches, and an enormous rev
enue can be obtained from them
without imposing a burden on the
public. It is more than likely that
the sales tax will be among the
early problems to be acted upon
when Congress meets-early next
month.
Another question occupying the
President’s attention is his plan to
aid home builders. A conference
of several hundred leaders in build
ing and allied lines, along with the
men who finance such operations,
will be held hei;e on December 2.
The President is aiding those work
ing on the problem as far as it
lies in his power. , Hi^ aim is to
make borrowing easier for those
who want to build homes for
themselves by cutting the charges,
both for interest and commission
and making more money available
for builders. A quick revival of
building operations, it is said, will
follow a satisfactory solution of this
financial problem.
