Roosevelt Not for Tax Cuts, Seen as One Solution WASHINGTON, May 3. (UP). Opponents and supporters of the 18th amendment agreed in tho senate yesterday that unless the flow of bootleg liquor is checked the United States will return to prohibition. Senator William E. Borah (R., Idaho), a dry leader, charged that "bootleggers are dictating our laws regarding liquor taxes.'' Senator David I. Walsh (D, Mass.), long-time advocate of re peal, said "Christian and religious people will not tolerate existing conditions." "As one who urged repeal," Walsh said, "I have been disap pointed." Borah said he had asked Joseph C. Choate, director of the federal alcohol control administration, to report on "what liquor taxes and liquor profits really are." The White House indicated yes terday that President Roosevelt does not look for legislation this session of congress to reduce liquor taxes. On May 10 Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau will send about 4,000 men—equal to the forces in prohibition days—to enforce repeal liquor laws. They will include 1,850 men to combat illegal manufacturing of whiskey and 1,000 to supervise legal dis tilleries.

(UP). The government made a "prof it" of $10,000,000 by trading in its own securities since the first of the year. Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., said the profit represents an ap preciation in the market value of United States government securi ties bought earlier in the year at lower prices. Several hundred million dollars worth of these se curities were purchased for ac count of the Postal Savings Fed eral Deposit Insurance Corpora tion an dother funds operated by the government. ULTIMATUM WILL BE RENDERED TODAY By FREDERICK KUH United Pre»» Staff Correspondent LONDON, May 3.—(UP).— Great Britain will present a vir tual commercial ultimatum to Ja pan late today in an effort to halt the damaging encroachment ol Nipponese trad# in the Do minions. As the result of a long cabinet meeting last night Walter Runci man, hard-boiled president of the. board of trade — an important cabinet post in Great Britain— invited Tsuneo Matsudaira, Japa nese ambassador to visit him at! 5 p. m., todya (noon, E.D.T.) Runciman's instructions were to intimate diplomatically to Matsudaira that Britain was pre pared to declare a trade war with Japan unless she yielded to the British demand to partition world markets on the basis of re duced Japanese textile exports. It was learned that before tak ing its decision the government consulted with the colonies and ' found them ready to impose quota | restrictions against Japanese im ports. The cabinet believed it would be able without difficulty, and soon, to relieve itself of obliga tions under most^-favored-nation trade treaties, which are all sub ject to denunciation on proper notice. The government, the United Press learned, is prepared to take up the matter of import quotas against Japan with all tho Dominions at once. The Dominions will be con fronted with the argument that not only in the interest of em pire trade, but in their own in terests now or soon, they should join in opposing the virile thrust of the new Japan into world mar kets hitherto reserved for the older—in point of world trade —nations. There seemed a logical connec tion between the British decision and the recent Japanese "hands off' China declaration. Diplomatic Sir John Simon, for eign minister, in announcing that Britain would take no further in terest in Japan's declaration* after formal assurance that trea ties would be respected, appar ently kept in mind the trade fight that has caused Britain anxiety for many months. It seemed certain that in delegating Runciman to talk to Matsudaira the - government had decided to talk firmly, for Runciman is not ed rather for frankness than for, diplomacy. DISMISS CHARGES OF HOUSE ENTERING Charges against Allen Reed, of St. Louis, who was arrested on Sunday morning charged with en tering the home of G. W.
