OKEH ON TAX REFUND PLAN SUIT DECISION Plaintiff Sought $25,000 Joining Hoover Cabinet. WASHTJJQTOtf. March 30 i i cials. , Policy W Prompt Payment of Pablle Dtbt Consistently maintained. "No other part of our financial policy baa been mora consistently maintained than that providing for the prompt payment of public debt," be continued. "After the world war this policy was continued. Today the national debt has been reduced to manageable proportions and about $300,000,006 a year saved In Interest charges. Eventually, as that debt Is paid off entirely, this drain on our revenue will be removed and we can look forward then to a very great reduction In taxes. "Already taxes have been restored to a peacetime level. This Is progress in the right direction. There Is till much that can be done and should be done when revenue shows sufficient permanent Increase. At present there Is a growing demand for further reduction tn taxes on earned Income. It is a position with which I have always been In sympathy. The treasury will be glad to see the principle still further carried into tew whenever revenues Justify such action. Treasury geeks Simplification sf Tax Law Administration. "Another place where progress can be made la in the administration of the tax laws. The real opportunity for improvement lies In simplifying the administration of the tax laws; and this the treasury Is making a determined effort to do. The government, Is trying tp settle each tax case promptly and finally wurt true regard to the Interests of both the government and the tax- - i I I i payer,- . - "Since 1917 the bureau of Internal revenue has collected almost $38- ,J 000.000.000 and has assessed more than four billions of back taxes. Dur- I Ing this time it has refunded less I than one billion dollars or approx- imately 3 per cent of the amount 1 collected. This Is a record of eff J ciency that would be hard to equal I and yet responsible public officials, wiille not charging dishonesty, have I attempted to discredit this record i because occasionally a refund of al millions of dollars has been made to a single taxpayer. They r neglect to state that the taxes paid r by such Individuals or corporations f often run Into the hundreds of mll- lions, of which only a small part Is I ever refunded." Oppeee Policy of Making Tax t Ketura Public. Mr. Mellon said that the treasury ' policy always would be one of oppo- -t sition to making Ux returns public 3 and of protecting taxpayers from 'subjecting their business affairs to i the scrutiny of their competitors, the i Idly curious, the solicitors of con- trlbutions, and unscrupulous prac- titioners seeking out possible future clients." He credited the machinery of the j federal reserve system with enabling the j government to handle transactions and short timerefunding borrow- tag in 1038 without creating dls- -! turbances to the money market He pointed to the contrast between the ; vast sums now needed in managing ! the public debt and it floating short ; Joans and those needed during the ) ctvli and 8panish wars, but declared that less disturbance to business and j banking had been created tn recent 4 years by the great shifts of the huge 3. modern debt than In previous pe-- I rtods of the country's history. He added that considerable embarrass- ment in the past had been created by the manipulation of much smaller to ! tals without a federal reserve sys-- J tern to guide procedure. ' "Such, in brief outline, are the government's financial policies," he t added. "They still conform to the traditions established when the gov- -! emment was first founded. We can- -; not do better than to follow those ! traditions and to make sure that. In ' fundamental matters, our actions square with those great Immutable ' principles, which our forefathers, with such consummate wisdom, made a part or trie very structure of our . government." 1- -J sev-er- , ; Mishap Force$ Delay In Guatemala Flight t MEXIC OCTTY.

There was, therefore, an accelerated movement toward consolidation of peace, which is being continued In the present year and which gives promise of being further accentuated by the genera adoption of the "general act" enacted by the last assembly whereby nations bind themselves to settle pacifically "all questions what-oevwhich they have not been able to settle by normal methods of diplomacy. Armaments may still be mighty, said league officials tonight, but the chances of men utilizing them against their fellow nations are becoming Increasingly less. As proof of this they emphasized that nine of the treaties mentioned above exclude war even as a possibility. Another Feature Is Dropping Of Statesmen's Old Contention. Another feature of the treaties deemed Immensely significant Is that statesmen have dropped their old contention that questions affecting tha nation's honor or vital national Interests must be carefully excluded from the scope of the treaties. The league will observe its tenth anniversary In September with solemn ceremonies. Easter finds the league leaders turning yearningly toward the American people and striving to determine how much cooperation can be expected from America In the Geneva peace venture. Thanks chiefly to the leadership and vision of Elihu Root, the league believes that it now can count upon American a1hrpnrA tn th vnrM court of Justice and believes this ac- cession will have tremendous moral influence on the general movement for peace, based on conciliation and Justice.

In a speech broadcast under the auspices of the Washington Evening Star, Mr. Mellon outlined plana of bis department for Improving tax administration, debt refunding and budget savings. The basic principles of American government financing, he said, were the quick repayment of national obligations, the maintenance of expenditures within Income, and the upholding of public credit.
