TO URGE VIGOROUS POLICY
Discussion of Germany's Action
in Potash Controversy.

washington, Nov. l0.-Several prominent
LAWYERS from PhilsdeIphia, New York and

~ Trade Relations tomorrow 20 urge the
adoption Of q vigorous policy toward Ger
many in connection with the refusal Of the
government Of that country TO permit Of
the execution of the contract which Amer
leans hold for the delivery Of potash from
German mines
These attorneys are armed With statistics
showing the great importance TO this coun-
try Of securing q supply OF potash at a
moderate price There IS not only an enor-
nous consumption OF this chemical in dye
works, hleacheries. pharmaceutical prepa-
rations. eoapmaking and other industries,
but no less than two million American
farmers are under the necessity OF using
this potash as a fertilizer. and consequent
ly the food supply OF the entire country is
adversely affected by any restrictions upon
its importation.
The American contractors claim that
there is no question Of the applicability Of
the maximum and minimum provisions Of
the American tariff act TO tUst such cases
as this Although nothing in the German
law excessively taxing exports Of potash
specifically mentions America the effect is
a discrimination precisely such as IS con-

members Of Congress as a protest
against the Payne tariff act Will
realize early in the next Congress their
serious error. The suggestion that a
Democratic House viii pass tariff bill
which can be passed in the Senate by a
combination Of Democrats and Rspub-
lican insurgents does not bear analysis
The Democrats and the low tariff Re
publicans IN the Senate are far apart
IN their views on ths underlying princi-
pies OF tariff revision Champ Clark will
be satisfied with nothing less than a
tariff for revenue only, while Senator
Cumfnins insists that he is a protection
ist favoring revision OF the schedules on
the basis Of difference IN the cost OF pro-
duction here and abroad.
The Tariff Board appointed by Prssi-
dent Taft IS making an exhaustive and
scientific investigation Of tariff facts. BY
the time the next Congress meets this
board will be ready TO submit reports
on certain schedules against which spe-
ciaI complaint has been made. With the
facts before Republican House It would
not be difficult TO adjust the rates Of
duty within the lines Of . protective
tariff. But with a Democratic House,
including IN the majority free traders,
tariff -for-reyenue men. and geograp aphical
protectionists, IL IS clear that no agree
ment can be reached, with or without the
facts. on bill which a Republican Sen
ate can approve OF or a Republican
President sign. Thus. II IS probable that
Republicans who voted for Democratic
Representatives in the expectation OF
forcing early downward revision OF the
tariff will find that their votes con
tributed to postponing for two years any
change In the schedules OF the Payne
law.
AS 20 conservation. the Democrats
have no policy. President Taft has gwen
this subject his most thoughtful atten-
ton. and in the last session made SUD-
stantfal progress in the solution or whaf
he aptIy termed a problem Of how 70
save and how 10 utilize, how 20 conserve
and still develop" With few Demo
cratic REPRESENTATIVE from state IN
which conservation is a home question,
and with the BaIlinger-Pinchot contro-
versy as a starting point, the Who1e ten
dencv OF the Democrats in the House
will be to make this subject the play
thing of politics. Unless it is possible
to force action az the approaching sHorl
