Italy to put Rapallo treaty in effect after ratification
Premier Giolitti says Italy will enforce the Rapallo treaty once the senate ratifies it despite D Annunzio's anti accord in Fiume. The pact cedes Arbe and Veglia to Yugoslavia and makes Fiume independent, while Cardinal Gaspari urges moderation and Donnunzio to accept peace terms. Nationalist opposition in the Senate appears unlikely to derail ratification.

Little Fellows Face No 10% Tax Hike Says Houston
Washington December 9 The little fellows may escape higher income taxes after all as Treasury Secretary Houston weighs options to raise revenue from corporate taxes rather than burden small earners. Officials suggest a 3 to 4 percent rise can be avoided by taxing overcapitalized and evasive corporations, with possible 10 to 12 percent increases in corporate rates replacing higher normal income tax. Houston’s plan emphasizes tapping hidden corporate profits and excess security holdings to fund a budget of about 5.46 trillion, while lawmakers doubt a tax rise on small wage earners is needed. The option to double stamp taxes and even raise the normal rate to 22 percent is under consideration if other sources fail.
