York Herald Bureau, )
Washington, D. C., April 11. (
Senator McCumber (N. D.)f chair
man of the Financo Committee, re
ported to the Senate to-day the
amended Fordney tariff bill, which on
many commodities provides the high
eat duties ever imposed by a tariff
measure in the history of the country.
As was forecast in The New York
Heralu, the Senate committee dis
carded the American valuation plan,
*s contained In the Fordney bill, and
adopted the foreign valuation as a
basis for computing tariffs.
Because of the change in making
the valuation on goods and commodi
ties the rates in the amended bill are
lower for the most part than the rates
In the House bill. However, the spe
cific rates where the valuation did not
figure In the computation are higher
in the Senate measure than In the
House bill. The bill will be taken up
by the Senate for discussion on Thurs
day, April 20.
Chairman McCumber declared In his
report that high rates were necessary
to protect American manufacturers
due to unusual conditions following
the war. He said quotations made by
foreign producers for export sale of
late have been so extremely low that
they threaten the destruction of Amer
ican industries and have consequently
demoralized American trade.
Rates to Afford Fat* Protection.
"This condition exists at the present
time," added Senator McCumbcr, "and
it is believed will continue to exist until
tates are established that will afford
fair protection to American industries.
"At present European manufacturers
are able to sell their merchandise at
lower production costs than the Ameri
can manufacturer, owing to much lower
wages, to subsidies granted by certain
countries, and to the fact that some
countries do not impose taxes as high as
the American manufacturers have to
bear."
Treasury experts figure the bill will
raise from J300.000.000 to *350,000,000
revenue annually. The Fordney bill, it
was estimated, would raise about $300,
"00.000 annually, while the Underwood
law yielded between $200,000,000 and
$300,000,000.
The House passed the Fordney tariff
bill on July 21. 1921. Since then the
measure has been in the hands of the
Senate Finance Committee. It Is ex
pected that the completed bill will bj
before the Senate for two morths or
more for discussion. Republican traders
p nnouiued to-day that they tiope to have
the bill enacted by the Senate without
any material changc, and an agreement
was reached with the House conferees so
that the bill can be In the hands of the
President for hi* signature by August
10. It will take the placc of the emer
gency tariff act now In force and be
come operative as soon as t*ie President
affixes his signature.
JnstlMed, S?ys Watson.
"This is a real protective tariff" said
Senator Watson (Ind.), one of the lead
ing members of the Senate Finance Com
mittee. "While the rates are high In
most Instances, we feel that conditions
Justify them. It is expressive of the Idea
of the Republican party that a protec
tive tariff is necessary to build up Amer
ican Industry and to maintain the high
wage scale and better living conditions
of American workmen."
When told ttiat Chairman Fordney of
the Houae Ways and Means Committee
dissented from the conclusions of the
Finance Committee concerning the re
jection of the American valuation plan
and changes In many schedules Sena
tor Watson said:
"Joe would not import anything. He
would Insist that we raise everything
here, even bananaa."
soon as the Democrats In the Sen
ate got a glimpse at the bill thev raised
violent protests, ns was expected, de
claring the meaaure alms to build a
wall around America and will/ cause
the coat of living to Jump perceptibly
soon after It is put Into effect If not

Executive Committee After
Session Says Personnel Is
Not Likely to Change.
WILL MEET MISS BOOtH
Records of Organization Show
Kermit Roosevelt Is Out of
Leading Department.
Indications are that there will he a
smoothing over of*the controversy
between James Speycr, banker, and
Evangeline Booth, commander of the
Salvation Army, who asked him to
resign as a national vice-president of
the Association Against the Prohibi
tion Amendment in order to continue
a? chairman of the citizens' commit
tee for the coming drive of the Sal
vation Army for funds. *
Mr. Speyer on Monday telegraphed
to Miss Booth from White Sulphur
Springs, W. Va., that he would not
resign from the anti-prohibition move
ment. He told Miss Booth also that
hfe would abide by any decision taken
by the citizens committee, which ap
pointed him to the position, which he
had not sought.
At a meeting of the executive com- I
mlttec yesterday in the office of Fred- j
c-rick Housman, banker, at 20 Broad
street, an appointment was made to
meet Miss Booth to-morrow afternoon.
Other members pf the executive com
mittee present were Robert Adamson.
George Gordon Battle. William H. Ed

mit Roosevelt, with Mr. Housman as
acting chairman. The Salvation Army
was represented by Cols. Jenkins,

"It was the unanimous hope of all
those present thai means would be
found by the committee to continue its
work without a change In its personnel."
was part of a statement given out by
Mr. Housman after the meeting had ad
journed until Thursday afternoon.
Robertson S. Ward of Newark, presi
dent of the New Jersey division of the
Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment, resigned yesterday as a
member of the executive committee of
th Salvation Army's campaign for funds
and asked for and received the $50 con
tribution he had made. His action fol
lowed the statement of Miss Booth's
attitude toward Mr. Speyer.
Mr. Housman stated that a telephone i
conversation with Miss Booth at her :
heme In Scarsdaie indicated the matter !
would be amicably adjusted. He would
not discuss a report that the executive
committee told Miss Booth it would re- \
sign unless she withdrew her objection
to Mr. Speyer.
Hermit Roosevelt Step* Down.
Kermit Roosevelt had been a mem
ber of the executive committee for tl<c
Salvation Array drive, but on Monday
the records at Salvation Army head
quarters showed he was a member of
the citizens' committee, but not of the
executive committee. Mr. Roosevelt
also Is a prominent member of the As
sociation Against the Prohibition
Amendment.
It is stated on the best :tutlioritv
that If Miss Booth does not rescind her
attitude toward Mr. Speyer not only will
members of the executive committee
consider tendering resignations, bn.
some bankers and business men, for
merly laige contributors to the Army,
will retire from the citizens' commit
tee.
Elmore Lefflngwell, chief publicity
man for the Salvation Army for the last '
five years, severed his connection with
the organization Saturday, having ten
dered his resignation six weeks ago It '
was learned yesterday. He gave as h's I
reason press of other business. Mt. 1
Lefflngwell received credit for originat

Tost of this city has surrendered its j
legion charter and will be known
henceforth as the Naval Aviators
Club, an independent org.tnizaiton.
It is compo.sed exclusively of young
men who enlisted in the navy air ser
vice at the outbreak of the war, mo3t
of whom are listed in the Social Regis

Yosk families. The post htia the repu
tation of being a "silk stocking" out
fit. but there was nothing "silk stock-|
ing" about its wn;- record. Every man
enlisted voluntarily frnd chose the most1
hazardous branch of the naval ser
vice. Many came out with honors and;
promotions and the majority are now
officers in the reserve corps.
The New YonK Heralo learned yea- ]
tcrday that the fight the lesion made
for 'adjusted compensation" provoked
a revolt that eniied in adoption of a
resolution in which the post expressed
itself out of sympathy with the legion
oflleors and especially "the uncalled for I
act of Commander Hanford MacNider"
in demanding that President Harding
support the bonuj.
I.rttrr Restarnlno; From Lesion.
On March 6 the following letter, was
addressed to the New York county or

This is to advise you that at a meet
ing of the Naval Aviation Post, No.
217, of the American I>egion, held
at the Army and Navy Club in New j
York city, on January 19. it voted to
withdraw from the American Legion
and surrender Its charter.
Will you kindly send me any nec- j
eeaary papers to be filled out and
advise that we are stricken from !
the roster of the American Legion?
Fred D. Kino,
Post Commander.
Mr. King said yesterday he had re
ceived no reply to this letter. The act :
that particularly offended the naval ,
aviators, he said, was the telegram
written by Col. MacNider to the Presi
dent in which he attempted to dictate
to the executive on behalf of all vet
eran* of the war. At the Army and
Navy Olult dinner 106 members present,
of a total membership of 200 voted to

HENRY, A DRY, WINS

Judge Irvine, Wet, Makes Big
Gain on Republicans in 37th
Congressional District.
VOLSTEAD LAW THE ISSUF
Cities All Voted Wet, but the
Country Districts Saved Day
for the Dry Forces.
Corning, X. V., April 11.?With the
normal Republican plurality greatly
reduccd, the Thirty-seventh Congress
district to-day elected Lewis Henry,
Republican, of Elmira, to the House
of Representatives to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Alanson
B. Houghton, now United States Am
bassador to Berlin.
Henry's plurality over Judge Frank
Irvine. Democrat, of Itharv, was 3.087.
The vote in the Ave counties which
make up the district was: Henry,

in th>? district was: Hi.ughton, Re
publican, 51,512; Durham, Democrat,
21.762.
Opponents of prohibition to-night were
hailing the result as a victory in spite
of the fact that Judge Irvine, who ran
on a pjatform of opposition to the Vol
stead act, was defeated. They pointed
to the fact that a Republican plurality
of nearly 30.000 in 1920 had been re
duccd to 3.000, with nearly half the total
vote cast.
They also regarded as significant the
fact that Judge Irvine carried every
citjf In the district. All the municipal
ities had voted for prohibition under the
State locnl option act in 1?1S. before
the advent of national prohibition.
Judge Irvine carried Elmira by 1,769.
Corning by 625. Ilornell by 309 and
Tthaca by 268. He carried Chemung
county by 368. but lost all of Iho other

What Is Tchitcherin,
Who Stirred Up Genoa?
Georgevitch tchitch
erin, who has already
created several small
storms at Genoa, is tall and aus
tere, with a figure slightly bent, as
becomes a man more than sixty
years. His gray hair and beard
combined with hia nervous manner
make him appear a reserved aris
tocrat rather than a typical Bol
shevik. He Is ostensibly the old
fashioned gentleman, who proves
his eccentricity in adherence to
Communist ideals. Nerves are his
motive power, and their impulses
are quite an evident in the work
ings of his alert mind as in his
quick gestures. The eldest of the
Soviet delegation, he merits the
honor of being its chief by virtue
of his long cf.reer as a statesman
and diplomatist, for he was in Eng
land as a representative of Czartst
Russia when the Bolshevist revolu
tion broke, and was summoned to
Moscow by Lenine, whose closest
adviser he has been ever since as
Foreign Minister,

JAPAN UNDESIRABLE
Objects to Island Empire at
Genoa While She Occu
pies Siberia.
RUMANIA ALSO GUILTY
Ishii Declares That Tokio Will
Be Represented Despite Bol
sheviki's Protest.
Genoa, April 11 (Associated Press).!
?Foreign Minister Tchitcherin of \
Russia protested against the presence 1
of the Rumanian and Japanese dele
gates on the principal conference com- \
mittee because Rumania was occupy- ,
ing Bessarabia and Japan was occupy-1
ing portions of Siberia.
It had been decided to give repre- j
sentation on the committee to the
smaller Powers, and it was anno'unced '
on their behalf that they had selected ;
Poland. Rumania. Switzerland and
Sweden to represent them.
I M. Tchitcherin, on hearing Rumania
mentioned, said: "Why Rumania, '
which is holding the Russian province
of Bessarabia?" He also protested
against the presence of Japan.
Regarding this last protest. Viscount!
Ishii, representing Japan, is quoted as
remarking:
"Japan Is here and will stay here,
whetner M. Tchitcherin likes It or
rot."
The protest of the Bolsheviki against j
the presence of the Japanese In the con
ference because they occupy Siberia has i
had tho effect of ratstng the Siberian j
! question at Genoa as part of the Rus- [
slan problem.
Literature made public here by Rus
sians who are progressive, but not Bol
shevist. ana are opj)oeed to the Bolshe
vist regime, brings forward a new point j
of view on the Siberian question. This
! is the contention that owing to Internal
J troubles Russia Is unable to give aid to j
and protect the rights and legitimate i
Interests of her Asiatic white population,
which. It is claimed, may In a few dec
ades reach a total of 50,000,000.
R is argued that Japan has seized
Russian territory bordering on the Ta
eiflc, possibly with the Ibtentlon of dom
inating this outlet to the sea and of ex
erclaing control over this white popula
tion. fearing that the growth of a virile
white civilization on the neighboring
roast would be a potential menace In |
the future. Therefore Japan seeks to
assure her position of supremscy In Asia
by taking advantage of present circum- I
stances to block this development.
The statement continues: "It has
heretofore been considered axlomatlo
that no white population should be sub
jected to the rule or control of the
yellow race. It appears, therefore. In
1 conceivable that the racial significance
of the development, of the white man in
Siberia will be lout upon other peoples
I or that the world will allow Siberian
I Russia to be dominated by an alien race
or have Its outlet to the sea cut off "
The Japanese answer to this here, a*
at Washington. Is that Japan hss no i
Intention of dominating or remaining
permanently In Siberia; that ah?> seeks
i merely the economic growth of Siberia.
In which, first of all. order must reign,
and. Incidentally. Japanese Interests
| must be protected.

Genoa, April 11.?It Is now as dear
as the blue skies above Genoa that
nothing of any far reaching economic
significance will be accomplished
here. ' The International Economic
Conference of Genoa," as it is offl
daily designated, should be called a
"conference to make progress in the
reestablishment of peace in Europe."
Its real work will be concentrated in
"No. 1 CommiBsion,"? which held the
first meeting this morning and or
ganized its subcommission, promptly
summoning the latter for a session
this afternoon.
This main commission will deal
with the two concrete problems whieli
Mr. Lloyd George wishes to sec
settled before the conference ad
journs* the readmission of Russia
into the family of Europe and ten
years truce. The remedy for repara
tions. debts, weak currency and other
grave troubles that are at tbe root ot
Europe's ills will be brought closer
only in so far as the solution of the
two principal issues may open the
way for their discussion in the
future.
Many are the indications of a fun
damental agreement between Great
Eritain and France to support each
other in making the conference a
success. Not that the two have any
detailed program in common or even
a common point of view, but so long
as both parties remain loyal to the
Cannes resolution there is little
chance that the conference will
blow up.
Mr. Lloyd George's real ambition
is to put through a ten years' truce,
with much the same determination
that Woodrow Wilson had for the
fourteen points. But England s truce
Is about as different from the cove
nant as the present conference is
from that of Versailles. All the na
tions will be asked to Join In the pact
on an equal basis, and the only sanc
tion with which it is to be enforced is
the moral obligation of having been
pledged to it in the eyes of the world.
May Be Preliminary.
Tf these two subjects had not such
dimensions and such delicacy, the
Genoa conference might well he called
what M. Tchltcherln wished to make
of it yesterday: a preliminary to a
world conference. It is the British
view that the economic problem ca?
not solved before an atmospher*
is created in which collaboration Is
posstbl".
Mr. Lloyd George Is steering a r.\p~
y.ag course, but his friends say It tend*
in th? ultimate direct-on of the con
solidation of allied loans, canceling e
'.ante number of debts and decreasing
the reparations burden upon Germanv.
The Genoa conference Is regarded
a necessary halfway station on the
way to that goal, not only because hos
tility Is still aflame over Europe, hut
because of America's aloofness. Quit*
admittedly, the English ore following
President Harding's advice to have
Europe help herself before she Is tn a
position to obtain the conclusive help
hoped of America.
And Mr. Lloyd George's friends be
lieve '.hat at the termination of the
conference he will be in a position to
tell America that it it as far as Europe
can go alone.

rrobe hi v there will be five groups In
all The principal commission and tho?*?
on economics, ftnancs and transports
tton, and a possible fifth to dsat with
the legs I Issue* that arise during the
negotiations. None of these non-polltl
cal commissions can undertake anything
of primary importance.
In the question of the stabilization of

rency cannot be touched at all. because

the means of stabllltlng the strong",
