PARIS, June 12.—lIsolated action against Germany or acceptance of reduction in reparations are the al- confronting France in the This is the general opinion ternatives view of international bankers’ report. expressed here today. The conclusions of J. P. Morgan and his colleagues have aroused the bitterest especially the imputation that France is responsible for failure of the loan project. Anger, disappointment and discouragement color all press comments and the sit- uation is admitted to be most seri- ous. Writers complain that the bankers have merely aggravated the diffi- resentment, culties of the problem. Before call-, ing in experts, they say, the allied Governments would have done better to examine the whole question them- selves. Independent Action Urged. However, the blunder having been committed, France should go ahead alone, a strong section of the press declares, and organize a system of collecting reparations from Germany in the shape of goods, labor and for- eign currency belonging to German citizens: while establishing strict control over the Reich's finances. The semiofficial Tempsechides the bankers for not having the coyvrage to lav a portion of the blame on America. The paper thinks there be no reduction in the German indemnity without corresponding euts in the allied obligations. ex- cepting France's debt to the United States This should have been clearly indicated in the bankers’ re- port, the Temps contends Meanwhile the suggestion is made that the Reparations Commission or- ranize an international investigat- ing commission which should invegti- gate conditions in Germany. It should then report of the Reich's capacity to pay and means for helping it to meet its obligations by credit oper- ations New Commission Proposed. It is proposed that this commission of two representatives from each of Germany's creditors and each of the principal neutrals One of the two would be an official of the - can country’s finance administration. the’ other a professional banker. In any case, however, the French Government seems determined not to. let Germany think she may take ad- vantage of the collapse of her hopes | for a loan to back out of her engage- ments. eee - ENFORCING OF WRIT AGAINST MARKETING BUREAU PROHIBITED Supreme Court's in 20 Days and Will Be Argued in October Term.

Post-Dispatch Bureau, No. 20 Wyatt Building. WASHINGTON, June 12.—Repre- sentative Caleb R. Layton, Repub- lican, of Delaware, introduced in the House today a joint resolution call- ing for the submission to the states of a constitutional amendment ‘to check Federal taxation. The amend- ment was prepared by and intro- duced at the request of the Anti- Centralization League, of which Thomas L. Anderson of St. Louis is chairman. It provides that, after its adop- tion, the Federal Congress sha!!? have no power to levy or collect any in- tax save the prosecution of actual |war or the payment of debts in- curred or to be incurred on eccount of. war. Layton said that he wus heartily in sympathy with the pur- poses of the amendment. “The power of Congress to the entire wealth of the country,” he said, “has resulted in an orgy of taxation to finance a flood of pa- ternalistic and bureapicratic legisla- tion. ‘““Fhe amendment is in line with the fight I made in Congress against the maternity bill and am making ‘against the bill seeking to create a new department for the nationaliza- tion of education. ’ Layton tion would be referred to the Judi- Ciary Comnuittee. endeavor to get it placed before the Senate also.
