Paris. Aug. 14-France's position on the Amer

has postponed his departure for his country

OF deep astonishment that the United States
should arbitrarily terminate the existing
Franco-American tariff agreement on three
months notice without previously informing
France and giving her the opportunity 10 ex-
press her views. As the American agreements
with other countries stipulated six months or
one years notice. French expectations arc
placed, for the time being at considerable
disadvantage.

LIBERALS CONFIDENT
HARD WORK ON BUDGET.
Popular Trend To1card the Plan TO
Tar Land OzcnerS.
UHy French Cable 10 The Tribuns.l

London, Aug I4-Tropical London has not
impaired the Radical zeal for land taxation.
All-night sittings Of the Commons have con-
tinued in the hottest weather known for three
years. and meetings IN support OF the budget
are held nightly in twenty or thirty towns or
boroughs. The houses OF Parliament. with air
artiicially iced. may be the coolest place in the
metropolis, but the members, masquerading IN
white duck trousers and light alpaca coats, do
not appear to appreciate their privileges. Yet
the work goes on with undiminished ardor by
the government benches. with shouts Of tri-
umph from the Opposition when concessions
made.
The finance bill has been strengthened by the
substitution OF taxes mining royalties for
taxes on ungOtten minerals, and by the trans
fer of the cost of valuation from the land owners
20 the state. Two of the most objectionable
features have been removed. and the Exchequer
will not lose anything by the alteration OF the
raxes.
The ministers in closer touch with the
masses than their opponents are. and this gives
them a great access Of reserve power. They are
strong enough 90 adapt the new land taxes to
practical requirements, and are carrying the
party with them. The Opposition offers a
strenuous but futile resistance TO the measure
and does not succeed in organizing effective
meetings against il. The details Of the cum
hrous measure are not understood. but The gen.
eral idea OF taxing land owners by new methods
evidently exercises a subtle fascination over the
minds of the landless electors.
The Lords viii be unable 10 justify the rejec-
tion or amendment OF the budget when there
many signs 81 public approval OF new
taxes. There was "a distinct note Of triumph in
the Prime Minister'S speech at Bletchley last
might The contrast between tie languid Onion
rst meetings and the enthusiastic Liberal gath
ering enabled him 10 proclaim with confidence
the moral support Of public opinion. especially
For the principles that the foundations must be
laid for fresh levies OF revenue without bread
ssNes, and that the community was entitled to
charge toll on the land values which il creates

sponsibility by proposing an alternative scheme

sion of DIR. Evans the tariff reform candidate
against Lord Hugh Cecil for the University OF
oxford IT will be a singular contest between
an archseologist who has burrOwed among the
hurried treasures OF Crete and an eeclesiast who
breaches Free Trade with the feryor OF a monk
DIR. Evans, as the keeper OF the Ashmolean Mu-
scum and Fellow OF Brasenose viii have strong
support from the university but the Hisn
church parsons love ecclesiastcism in politics,
and are likely TO carry Lord Hugh Cecil at the
sop Of the poll tariff or no tariff. l. n. F.

Paris, Aug. 14.-The opinion prevails in off,
cial circles here that the Cretan problem can
still be settled without war between Turkey and
Greece, but the situation is by no means I'M
proved by the procrastination and hesitation of
the four protecting powers in enforcing their
mandate I'm Crete and in exerting Joint diplo-
matte pressure at Constantinople II should be
remembered that M. CIemenceau and NJ Pichon

Cretans should 20 violate the convention

the Cretans imposed on the powers, and &C

reached here the Cretans express their deter

avowed intention Of the Cretans to send Depu-
ties to the Greek parliament which induced the
Turkish government to demand Of Greece a dis
avowal of any attempt TO annex the island
Unless this disavowal is made officially and
categorically the Turkish representative will be
recalled from Athens.
Meanwhile 1t is believed here that the four
powers will be Obliged to land blue1ackets TO re-
