That the typhoon weather was still retarding the arrival of a number of vessels was shown by yesterday morning's shipping statement. There was only one more arrival than during the previous Another considerable reduction, in twenty-four hours, and among the ships arriving were one or two which wore Federal income taxes, possibly to the ex-originally due earlier, Several other tent of $400,000,000, is foreshadowed by vessels, however, arrived later in the day, developments to-night at the summer and there will possibly be a better freight return for to-day's statement.

After supper, President Coolidge and Representative Madden settled thein- selves before a log fire and pored over the sheets of figures to determine how much the Government can afford to ex- pend in the fiscal year of 1923 and still lay something by for a rainy day.
Then it transpired that the astute ap- propriations chairman had brought with him a new little plan for the further re
duction of Federal taxes in 1923.
Madden called the attention of the Pre- sident to an item of income on one of his sheets of figures: Payment of in- terest by foreign astions on war debt amounting $150,000,000 a year at this
time. This interest payment, which is steadily augmenting, is being devoted by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon to the retirement, of Liberty bonds.
Debt Betiramant.
Mellon is doing this arbitrarily, without The the express direction of statute.
law merely prescribes that the payments on principal of the war debts shall be devoted to retirement of our debt. The payments on principal now aggregate about $50,000,000 a year.
Madden pointed out that the 8130,000,000 of war debt interest can be used under the law to pay current expenses of the government instead of to retire Liberty honds. I so used, the government would not need to raise that amount of revenue and could reduce taxes to that extent.
Whether it is wise to continue the pre- sent practice was a question raised by Madden. He showed the President how our national debt, "exclusive of the amount owed us by Europe, will be dis charged in about 20 years if we continue to use interest as well as principal pay- ments to retire Liberty bonds. It will not be many years before the interest payments by Europe will aggregate $360,000,000. After our debt is liquidat- ed, these huge foreign interest payments will pile up in the treasury, constituting a temptation to Congress to extend ex-

rise and inquire why they should con- tinue to pay a creditor with an over- flowing treasury.
"Madden suggested that a wiser course would be to postpone eventual liquida tion of our debt a decade, perhaps, and use the foreign interest payments to re-i duce taxes, thereby giving this generation the benefit.

Coolidge took occasion to pay a high tribute to Madden, pointing out that while the President and General Lord prepare the budget, it is up to the chair. man of the appropriations committee and Congress to pass the appropriations and attributing to the wisdom and experience of Madden the success of the budget system.
Discussing the views he had given the President on budget matters, Madden took occasion to utter a warning against reduction of the tariff.

MR. ROOSEVELT'S" VIEWS.
Optionstic views of the possibilities of the Indian and Australian trade have been expressed by Mr. Kermit Roosevelt, president of the Roosevelt Steamship Co.. operating the American Indian and recantly merged by the Shipping Board. "Atlantic" Australian lines, which were Mr. Roosevelt, speaking of the miling of the Eastern Planet, the first vessel to sail from New York in the Australian service since the lines were merged, said the vessel was taking out a good cargo of general merchandise and a large number of automobiles. He pointed out that this service was the only American fag line maintaining regular sailings
"Commerce with bath Indian and Australian ports at present is fair," Mr. Roosevelt said (according to the New York Journal of Commerce. "We have previously been building, up Indian traffic and have gained the confidence of shippers in that service. We have every The tonnage figures were as under-reason to believe that future progress Total: 32,688 cons; British vessels: 8,980 will be satisfactory.

These wou enable us to effect economies in fuel and crews in addition to allowing more cargo pace. The motor ship has great advan ages on all long runs and would be par- ticularly suitable for the Australian and Indian routes."
The arrivals for the twenty-four hours ended at 9 am yesterday numbered nine, ri, four British, one American, three Japanese and one German. The depar tures during the same period came to three, viz., one British for Amoy and Foochow, one German for Manila and one Italian for Singapore.
