JAPAN WELCOMES ALLY WAR PROFITS PUT HIGH Commandeering by - Goxcrnment of All Yearly Profits ln Kxcess of $100,000. Is to Be Advocat . cd by Iowa Senator. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, May 3. The conscription of all Individual incomes above $100,000 a year is going to be proposed and pressed in the Senate, and probably in the House, -when the bill for financing the war comes up for action. Notice of this fight has already been served by Senator Kenyon, of Iowa, and it is being discussed quite freely in Senate and House cloakrooms, if not in the committees which are shaping up the revenue bill. Senator Kenyon announced his pur pose during consideration of the selective-draft, or conscription' Army bill, in part saying: "While I am, voting for conscription of these men I am going to vote later on for conscription of the great in comes of this country to help pay the expenses of this war. Conscription of incomes above the amount of any ordi nary demands of life needs is just as logical as the conscription of men. Increase of Millionaires Big. "I want to show the great profits that have come largely out of the war. The increase of millionaires in this country has been tremendous. I shall give the net profits after deducting for labor, material. Interest, depreciation and all othen charges in short, the amount available for dividends to stockholders. "In 1914 the net profits of the Ameri can Smelting & Refining Company was $9,271,575; in 1916 they were $23,252,248. "Armour & Co., in 1914 had net profits of $7,509,998: in 1916 the net profits were $20,100,000: Bethlehem Steel Corporation, in 1914 the net profits were $5,590,020. in 1916, $43. 593.968: Central Leather Company, in 1914. $6,715,131, in- 1916, $17,324,409; Crucible Steel Company, in 1914, $1,015, 039, in 1916, $13,223,655. The E. I. Du Pont de Nemours Powder Company, in 1914, $4,831,793, in 1916, $82,107,693. Protection of Poor Desired. "The poor people of this country and the people of moderate salary ought not to be burdened wifh any of the ex penses of this war. They are standing all they can stand, but the people whose incomes and dividends have Increased practically 500 per cent In two years ought to be compelled to bear a large portion of the expenses of this war. In my judgment, every Income above $100. 000 should be commandeered or con scripted for the benefit of the Govern ment to carry on this war. That propo sition is going to come before we get through the tax bill, and we" might as well commence to think about it. ' "I desire to lay down the proposition that conscription will be in order as to incomes over $100,000." CHANCELLOR IS TARGET AMERICA'S ' ENTRY STIMULATES CAMPAIGN FOR BIGGER NAVY". CONSERVATIVES ATTACK MAXJI-HOILWEG. BETH- German Government . ('hanged With Weakness and Vacillation on Question of .Peace. COPENHAGEN, via London, May 3. German newspapers Indicate that the campaign against Chancellor von Beth-mann-Hollweg is again in full swing. The Conservatives have adopted reso lutions attacking the Charfcellor and censuring the government tor weak ness and vacillation on the peace aues tion and dealing with the strike agi tation. ine resolutions express con cern at the growing Influence of the Socialists, whose peace-making efforts are declared to be leading Germany to the brink of ruin. The Premier Is ac cused of sailing a course prescribed by socialists. . , I he Berlin corresoondent of the Hamburg Fremdenblatt, in a long sur vey of the situation, declares that the political life of Germany -Is now pass ing through an era of strife and differ ences of opinion on external and in ternal questions, which daily grow more lively and or broader dimensions. The correspondent says that dissatis faction with the government's policy is growing in all directions and that its reticence oru peace terms is being used to sharpen mutual suspicions and the antagonism of the party. . The So cialist leaders, he "continues, do not hesitate to explain' and Justify the latest strike movement on the grounds of the delay in .reforming the Prus sian franchise. On the other hand, the Pan-German reactionaries stop at nothing to pre-. vent me rormation of a majority party, capable of realizing the needed -reforms In the body politic. BABY WEEK INTERESTS PROGRAMMES DRAW STEADILY INCREASING CROWDS. ' Influence Not- Being Exerted. Over China, Says Statesman, on Issue of Participation In War. TOKIO, April 3. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) The entrance of the United States into the. ranks of the entente allies has been greeted with satisfaction by the Japanese. The prompt action of the United States In mobilizing Its Navy and the measures taken for increasing Its sea strength have given renewed Impetus to the movement to strengthen the Japanese navy. The naval autnorl tins, as well as many publicists, are concerned gravely over the - rapia falling off in the strength of the Japanese navy. They are urging an increase in Japan s sea power.

BERNE, Switzerland, via Paris, May 3. After one week's "quarantine" the German newspapers yesterday were again allowed into Switzerland. They were eagerly seized by those who had been speculating as to the closure of the frontier. Serious labor disturb ances. have been one reason assigned. but the first copies of the papers to arrive give no hint of any such thing. On the contrary the Frankfurter Zel- tung reports from Essen that May 1 revealed the usual picture of Intense activity. The same paper, commenting editori ally on, -America's acceptance of com pulsory military service, accuses Ameri ca of adopting militarism'' at least in equal degree to Germany. All the papers are notable for the number of articles they carry about de mands for legislative action on fran chise and other reforms from all parts of the empire.
