Double Income Tax in GGreat Britain Drives Yanks to Citizenship By Associated Press. I.ondon. April 17. That a man should pay more money for Income tax than the total of his Income seems the limit of taxation. This is said to be the plight of a well-known British peer, who was born an Amer ican and became naturalized In Eng land some years ago. His property Is in the United States. Being a British subject, he is compelled by British law to pay income tax on all his revenues from all sources, and the American law compels payment of income tax on all his income from American property. Being a multi-millionaire, his In come is subject to heavy supertax by both governments, end the two taxes are said to amount to more than 100 per cent, of the Income. Thus, the unfortunate nobleman must pay out all of his receipts and dip Into his capital to defray current taxes, and, after defraying this first charge, use more of the capital for living expenses. The double income tax of the war period has hit well-to-do Americans who live In Great Britain, very hard. In former days very few of the large colony of American business men liv ing in Britain ever gave up their American citizenship. But many of them have found this draft on their patriotism too heavy, and have re luctantly changed their allegiance, and taken out naturalization papers! As for those Americans who lived here because they found the s'ocial atmosphere of England more con genial, and the scope for spending money on pleasures greater than at home, most of them seem to have dis appeared.

The announce ment that Viscount Xshli, "the Japan ese ambassador to the United States, is returning to Japan, which la ac companied by a continuation of the anti-American campaign In the Jap anese press, has had the effect of cen tralizing interest in Japanese and American relations. Several of the newspapers lnsfst that Viscount Ishil la resigning on account of a diver gence of views with the home govern ment. The newspapers assail America and Americana for alleged activities In Siberia, Korea and China. Some of the newspapers find the United States aggressive and hypocritical. Investigation shows no existence of serious diplomatic questions between Japan and the United States. In Si beria, where some differences in view developed between the United States and Japan, It now appears that the two countries are working in close co-operation, especially in connection with the control of the trans-Siberian railway. The recent incident at Tien tsin between Japanese and American troops is not considered Important here. Japan's appointment of Baron Yosh iro Sakatani as financial adviser to China seems not to have been ap proved in the United States, though It is said Japan had the impression that the United States was favorable to it. It is believed this question is OTM of the causes of Viscount Ishii's return home for a consultation. Notwithstanding the adverse criti cisms of the newspapers, responsible Japenese opinion continues solidly in favor of friendly co-operation with the United States as the fundamental principle of Japan's foreign policies. Washington, April 17—Acting rotary of State Polk has authorized the statement that no serious ques tions were pending between the United States and Japan, and that the indications were that minor is sues arising from the situation in Siberia and the recent trouble at Tientsin as well as Peace Conference problems soon would be amicably set tled without in any way straining the relations between the two countries.
