Is primarily a Question of, taxation, a subject exclusively given 10 congrei The fact that the plan or sugges tion , may Incidentally touch our re lationship ' with other nations should not be taken as prohibitive or con gress' action," Senator Borah added. Senator Borah referred to the re cent letter of Secretary Mellon which said the present rate of government expenditures was-disastrous. "He has further advised us," .Sena tor Borah said, "that there is no way to reduce , our tax burden except through a cut in the army and navy appropriations. - This makes the proposition a simple one - and par ticularly a- matter for congress to determine legitimately within the jurisdiction of congress and of no other department of the government. "It is nothing, less than' a crime against humanity that the three great nations associated in the late war should ' now be taxing their people to death and driving on toward bankruptcy at a double rate of speed in order to build up fighting forces never before heard of in the world. - Certainly some one ought to be willing to call a halt, and if con gress, the taxing power, the war making power and the responsible power to the people is unwilling to do anything It would look as if the whole scheme had broken down.
