Reaffirms Tax on Appreciation of Capital Assets
Washington, D. C. April 18 The supreme court reaffirmed today its decision that appreciation of capital assets is taxable as income in the case brought by Herbert Darlington against Internal Revenue officials of the Chicago district. Darlington’s suit mirrored the Ryerson estate decision of March. His 1819 return included 200 shares valued at 35 000, a 12 000 rise over the March 1 1918 market value, and he sought recovery of the tax he paid on the increase arguing it is net income rather than capital gain.

The Japanese government issued a note to the United States arguing that the supreme council already decided to place Yap under Japan's mandate and that U S reservations would imply bad faith.
