Prompt pacnago of the war revenue bill will urged In the Senate todiy hv Senator Penrose, of Pennsvlvanla, sen ior Hepubllcan member of the Finance Committee. Senator Penroie gave his vlewi when the Senate reached the Income tax ce tlon which provides for reduction of Tales In 1920. Chairman Simmons of the Finance Committee, In charge of the bill, had formally anounced that ever effort would be made to reach a final vole on the measure before the holidavs Senator La Follett", of "Wisconsin. Re publican, gave notice that howould ofTer later a substitute for, or move for re consideration of the Income tax section. Although strongly dissenting from the provision fbr 1020 taxes. Senator Pen rose urged early passage of the bill with a view to revision later. He fa vored abolishing war excess profits taxes and substitution of a new sjstem of flat Income taxes. Hope for Quick Pannage "It Is because the bill Is essentially a war measure," he said, "that I am will ing to Bupport It, although dissenting from the special 1920 provisions' It, has received more careful thought by far man any previous Internal revenue measure In this country. It Is more clearly and consistently drafted and supplied with wiser administrative provi sions than anj other measure. "I cannot disguise the fact that I feel anxious as to the effect upon the public of the attempt to apply such higher rates of Income and profits taxes as are' provided. I am also convinced that the great body of Intelligent - and patrl otlo business men and taxpayers throuan- out theland are .willing io accept jhese ,...- ...U ut.ii,tlia incisure passed. Undoubtedly many defects will have to be provided for by remedial legisla tion In the future. It seems, however, to be the best that can be had at Jhe present time, and It Is unquestlonabl) better than any preceding law. It l3 to be earnestly hoped that the bill will be passed promptly." ' The bill's rates, Sermtor Penrose "said reach the "limit of endurance" and onlr are entitled to support fas war emer gency. He lidded that tax reductions, as Government requirements shrink dur ing demobilization and Reconstruction, are certain In the future. Reasons for- Opposing 1D20 Hairs Opposing the proposed 1920 rates Senator Penrose said It 'Is Impossible now to forecast the Government's needs una iniiusinai conditions In 1920, and 4 ucmureu mai "as a continuing levy an thlng like the present rates would operate strongly to repress and dis courage American Initiative and enter prise, He suggested that the hill a ni., r raising one-third of the Government's i revenue requirements, by taxes and two- ........ wjr uuuuo ,D excessive, pointing out that England has raised during the war but tvventj-tno per cent by taxes and Frunce only fourteen per cent," He added: "It Is evident, therefore, that the pro portion of taxes to loans In th TTnit.,1 i States Is over one-third greater as com- parea wun iingrnnd and over twice as large as compared to France. ."I amtvvllllng to go as far as any one In raising as much of the war expenses as possible from, current revenue.

Freedom of Seas Depends on Prac ticability of League to Be Formed By CLINTON W. GILBERT Man Correspondent of the Krenln Public I.eUser Mltli th Peace Delegation In Franco By Special Cable ' ( opirlent, 1911, dm Fubttc Ledger Co. ' Paris, Dec. 17. Paris is pleased with the President's words at the Hotel de Ville yesterday, that America had been an eye-witness of the shameful wicked ness wrought by Germany and of the cruel sufferings brought upon France. His words are construed as the answer to the report that he would prove too considerate toward Germany. Part of France, at least, looks for more than the lestoration 6f the damaged areas. The phrase he used in his speech makes clear one prevalent idea, namely, that there must be material guarantees of peace. Men are point ing out that, with German territory unravished, unless mulcted heavily, Germany will start with an advantage over the Allies and may soon reach a position again, fiom which to threaten Euiopean peace. Hence, they ask material guarantees that she cannot again break peace. Demand for Buffer States An extreme view of material guarantees is that French influence should extend to the Rhine. Men recall Poincate's position when Austria approached France through Prince Sixtus that buffer states west of the Rhine must be created. It is impossible to say that this is the French Government view. It is rather the view of conservative opinion and of French business Interests, which fear that Germany will get the stait on France. These demands for" material guarantees, like the demand that the English control the seas in war, spring from a 'distrust of the capacity of any leap-uojtif nfetiqijs.tq assure continuous, peace,? It is aUofelt here that if 'the league of .nations were workablematerial guantees would be -unnecemrij-,--. f-r- "du ' " f ' Germans Not Suffering . t - v , Regarding Germany's attitude rind her capacity to lecover quickly, word comes from section, like Coblenz, which ii occupied by American, troops, that food is found to be plentiful and that (the Germans do not believe their army has been beaten, but assert that the Kaiser surrendered under revolutionary pressure. Some wooden and paper shoes have been seenrin shop windows, but none on the fet o German people. The people are well clothed. Food is cheap. The American army is being welcomed into occupied territory. Germany eitherexpects greater consideration from Wilson or wishes to make the Allies distrustful by such ostentation of friend liness.' All these things are consistent with the Teuton policy of tuining to, Wilson rather than elsevvhete when seeking an armistice. Geimany's con-1 fidencc in him adds to Wilson's difficulties, but the situation is wholly unformed. His success in ffie conference will depend upon himself, upon how practical his ideas provo and how much force he puts behind, them. There is nothing inflexible in his path. I To Visit Ruii ftj Districts President Wilson will be taken at an early date to visit the mined districts of France and Belgium. France wants him to undeistand thoroughly the European viewof Germany's crimes. The demand is strong here that Germany be made to pay all she can, not merely damages caused,' but-the costs of the war itself. The fear here that PresidcnJ Wilson wants to make a soft peace with Germany is based on the fact that Colonel House, in the conferences which pieceded the signing of the armistice, was not Dretiared to bo as far as the Allies on the question of reparation and Presi-' dent Wilson agreed only after receiving a message from Colonel House , uem. fiiiawu (,'-- j , - stating the points of difference Europe does not want to take issue with President Wilson, but prefers ' li to compromise wherev.er possible, beliwing that when he understands the President Wilson is free to iompromise'as he did on Russia, because iA i... nf h.n vvhollv.cxnliclt in-Statinir his views heretofore.
