Russian Cat. The Churchill-Birkenhead clique, arch-Russophobes, dictated (as their share of the Cabinet compromise) a note of "protest and warning" to the Soviet Government. The language of this note was not that of diplomacy. It was intelligible to the man in the street and clear to the man in the gutter. Had such a note been addressed to the U.

If so, the minority stockholders who sold in 1919 owe the Government back income taxes of $15,000,000 to $30,000,000, as may decide the Special U. S. Board of Tax Appeals that has been sitting in Washington. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Daniel C. Roper had no authority to do Ford company stockholders the favor of estimating the tax value of their property. In fine, the Government has never officially decided what...
