With reference to the sending OF
two additional regiments to the Philip

conditions that may arise in China has
been an influence on the sending of
additional forces.
1t was explained, however. that the
government has no knowledge of any
situation in China at this time which
makes it even proba Bic that any emsr-
gency might arise, but that as China
is undergoing a charge there is the
possibility that American interests
may require protection and this gov

He predicted that the bill. if passed
would destroy the beet sugar industry in

briefly to reply to the remarks Of Clark
regarding the tariff move in Massachu-
sets.
Lawrence said the ways and means
committee had heard and answered the
tariff prayer of the Filipino Now it was
time the people at home should be rec
oynized in their wants.
There had been Il long time demand for
free hides, free coal, free lumber and free
alcohol ilr the arts. he said. The Repub-
lican party had taken the position that
the tariff should be revised to meet ex-
isting conditions
bclicNt tildC TIME his come now.
said Lawrence. who spoke of the action
of the Massachusetts Legislature and of
the Massachusetts Republicans. who had
declared to that effect.
While revision was needed. he said, the
Republicans of Massachusetts still held
their allegiance to the principles of pro-
lection and therefore they did not wish
revision through an alliance with the
free trade policy of the Democratic party.
Lawrence did not believe the Republi-
can party was a ''stand pat" party nor a
t-well-enough-alOne' party.
Lawrence devoted some time to the ef-
feet of the tariff on hides and quoted the
arguments made to President Roosevelt
by the delegation of shoe manufacturers
which recently visited the White House
to secure n recommendation for Il reduc :
tion of the duty on them.
He concluded with q warning that his
tory might repeat itself and should the
dominant party favorins protection fail
| to adjust the tariff, the task might be
turned over by the people Ito the party
who did not believe in the protection
