'"The sudden change in the Republican tax bill pro gramme decided upon at the recent White House conference has only ad aea contusion and uncertainty to th' government s fiscal situation and busi ticss and financial circles generally are surprised' and disappointed at Presi dent Harding's repudiation of Seerc tary of the Treasury Mellon as his llseal adviser and his recognition in atend of Chairman Fordney of the ways and im : committee, as the ti financial cy.: ' ( ad::iinistTntion,- erotic National committee in a stat ment issued today.

"Chairman Fordney ef the "ways nni means committee, who wrote Jho won-l tlerful tariff bill of which the Senate is expected to leave only the enacting clause, came to the political rescue of the administration and announced a plan to reduce tases regardless of the amount of money needed to meet ic expenditures, which would create a deficit to- be taken care ef by borrow Ing the money, thus increasing puhlie debt, but, as the optimistic M Fordney saw it, his plan would mae it appear that the party was kcepin its campaign pledge to reduce taxes and was making a grand record if economy.
