FEWER JEWISH MARRIAGES.

BRAND THE MASTER
Has UNUSUAL POWER
Chamber of Deputies Gires
Him Full SscaY.
rsy French Cable TO The Tribune. J

Paris, Jan. 1.-The French Parliament
has closed its sessions. leaving NJ.
BRAND more than ever master of the
political situation and the strongest man
to-day of the French Republic.
The tariff debate in the Chamber re-
suited in a substantial victory for pro-
tectionism all along the line. with a
marked tendency to protect French
workmen by the extension Of the tax
on foreign lahorers. which hitherto APP
piled only to foreign workmen within a
zone Of twenty-five miles along tho
frontier
The Chamber voted q tax on every en-
pIoyer in France who employs more than
five foreign workmen. no matter where
the works are situated.
This was described by NJ. Jean Dupuy,
Minister of Commerce. as direct taxa
ton on employer and indirect taxation on
worlxfnen-'
The minister added that he hoped such
rigorous measures would not provoke
retaliation in other countries. especially
in Italy and Belgium.
Another significant feature of the clos
ing of to-day's Chamber OF Deputies is
the unprecedented powers placed by a
vote OF the Chamber in the hands OF
Prime Minister BRAND, who is author
ICED by the Chamber 10 raise the tariff
by means of mere ministerial decree
issued from his Cabinet upon any article
from abroad. to double the maximum
rates prescribed by law, or. if he pre-
fers, TO fix equivalent of full value of
any article in question as tax. No
similar arbitrary power has ever been
Entrusted 10 any French minister since
the days Of the First Empire
Whether the Senate will approve this
vote of the Chamber OF Deputies remains
to be seen. II nevertheless indicates the
trend Of popular opinion on the tariff
1t is pointed out by an eminent politi-
cal economist that so long as NJ. BRAND
remains in power there is nc danger of a
tariff war or retaliation measures against
the United States, because VI. BRAND
and his radical or social colleagues can
not afford TO increase the tariff on food
products or raw material which form
the bulk of American exports to France,
as that would Immediately cause vio-
lent discomfort among the masses OF
workingmen by increasing the cost of
living. and these working masses are the
voters who keep NJ. BRAND in power

IN 4 BAD PLIGHT.
Liberia Waiting for L. S. to
DO Something for Her.
rRr Fr.nch Cahle 20 rhA Tribune

by French Gable 70 The Tribune
London, Jan. 1.-Letters received in
London from responsible traders of
Liberia state that the machinery of
government has stopped. while officials
and people are waiting for news from
America.
The visit Of commissioners last year led
the Liberians TO expect that there would
be active intervention by the great Re
public in the affairs OF the benighted
little state The ideas OF the officials
are vague, but they are confident that a
protectorate will be declared or loans
guaranteed or money given outright or
something done for developing the re-
sources OF the country and defending the
borders against foreign raids.
They have no sense of proportion and
little capacity for taking care OF their
own interests. and are possessed with the
idea that the American government will
come TO their rescue.
No legislation of any kind has been
attempted this winter, and there Is
complete stagnation in administration.
while the governing class Of negroes
is dreaming of salvation from Washing
ton and financial support from Wall
Street
The British rubber and development
companies are most anxious 70 have
authority exerted at Washington or
elsewhere for forcing the Liberian gov
eminent 20 fulfil its business engage
ments.
