Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, the democratic floor leader, presented a bill which would prohibit under heavy pen alties the sale of munitions to foreign governments either by the U. S. gov ernment or a private American citizen. The text of Senator Robinson's bill follows: "That from and. after the passage of this act, except Wlkui the United States is engaged in war, it shall be unlawful for any officer, agent, citizen or corpora tion of the United States to sell or offer to sell, to deliver or attempt to deliver, arms or munitions to any foreign gov ernment. or to any foreign political or military officer or agent. 1 "Any person convicted of violation of , this act shall be punished by a fine in i any sum not exceeding $10.(1(11) and by | imprisonment not exceeding one vear. ; "District courts of the United States shall have jurisdiction to enforce this act." j The embargo was proclaimed by Presi j dent Ocolidge late yesterday after a se ■ ries of conferences among interested de partment heads, and it provides that no ] munitions may be sent to Mexico from thp United States except with the spe cific approval of Si-crctary Hughes.

Oppose Gamer Proposal. Washington, Jan.'S.—President Cool idge regards the surtax provisions of , the-Garner democratic tax piograni as disregarding the principle that the gov ernment should encourage investment of capital in business enterprises rather than in free securities. The (’hief Executive told visitors to day that although he had not made a detailed study or received the advice of experts on the Garner plan, he believed the high surtax rates proposed would tend to continue the present objection able practice on the part of capital to invest in such serenities as would es cape tax payments. In the lTesident's opinion the Garner plan would tend also to place the pay ment of taxes in the hands of the few, and it is the President's view that when a few pay the taxes of the many they charge a round sum for such payments and therefore it is to the advantage of the many to pay their own taxes.
