IN the subjects which he would treat.

ows:

Aldrich He Is Responsible

Special TO The Tribune.
NEW YORK, March l6.-Iu the Co
lumbian Magazine for April Champ
Clark, who is to be speaker of the
Sixty second congress, places the chief
blame for the iniquticS of the present
tariff upon Senator Smoot.
Congress can control the trusts and
thereby reduce the cost Of hving-that
is, congress and the administration
working together cam he says, the
trusts have arbitrarily increased the
price Of almost every article of general
consumption by from ID to 30 per cent,
and even TO 200 per cent. The tariff,
alone, has increased il, in some IN
stances, as much as 1922 per cent, and
on certain small items even more than
that.
"On blankets. nine feet long, costing
not over 40 cents pound, kind OF
blankets which the masses of the peo-
pic use, the tariff, iii actual practice.
amounts TO lS2la per cent, which is not
only an outrage but a cruelty. This
enormous rate on an article of prime ne
cessity is so nearly prohibitive that In
1907 there were imported only III
pounds of that kind of blankets, of the
value Of $4,000. The government col
lected only $6o13 duty on them There
were millions of dollars worth of that
kind of blankets used IN the United
States, all Of them, except this 5000
worth, of domestic manufacture. Thcy
were purchased at high prices. In the
clso Cf. every one Of thc.,, Which WAS
sold to those who had to have them, the
high tariff was, Of course, added to the
| purchase price. That is gross ana
objectionable outrage,

thors Of that tariff BILL on the prin-
ciple that one should give the devil his
due iIo had more to do with making
IL than anybody else had except Sena-
tor AIdricb.'
Champ Clark SAYS:
"Thc principal promises which the
Democrats made during the last cam
paiyn were TO reduce the tariff, to re-
| form and libcraliZn the rules Of the
house of representatives, to provide foi
thc election of United States senators
by popular vote, and to reduce public
expenses. There werc other issues
urged by certain men III certain loraiI
ties. but the four which ! have mon
toned were the leading ones in gen
eraI way, and Of all these, that relat
ing to the tariff is much the most i'm
portant.
''It is my belief that the Democrnt'
, will redeem their promises touching nj
these questions. The last two Demo
cratic house caucuses, one caucus o.
the members elect of the Sixty -sccon'
congress. the other the caucus Of th'
Democratic members Of SIXty.frst con
eress, were tho two most harmonious
ever held in Washington.

Sir Edward Grey COrrects Mis-
apprehensions Regarding
Speech on Arbitration.
STIPULATION WOULD
IMPAIR THE CHANCES
Believes Treaty Along Lines
Suggested by President Taft
Entirely Possible.

LONDON, March 17,-Sir Edward Grey
further developed his ideas on interna :
tional arbitration tonight at the annual
banquet OF the International Arbitration
league. and corrected misapprehcnsions
regarding his speech In the house OF com
mons in which he gave support to tho
suggestion of President Taft for an An
glo- American treaty FOR the settlement
by arbitration OF any question that
might arise between the two govern
mentS.
II observe" nc said this evening. that
some of the words ] used the other day
are being construed as il general ar
bitration treaty between two great ma
tions would be tant9mount to a defensive
alliance between them,
Ell a general arbitration treaty were
made between two great nations and
became firmly rooted in the feelings OF
the people of both countries. and II one
OF them was in the course OF time made
the object of an attack In dispute with
u third power, in which arbitration had
boen offered and refused by the third
power certainly | think there would be
q strong sympathy between the TWO
powers who had made the general ar
bltration treaty. But that is a matter
which depends upon public opinion and in
which public opinion Will take care Of
itself.
ITO Introduce any such condition or
stipulation would impair the chances OF
II here or elsewhere. II might even lead
other countries 10 suppose that the ar
bitration between the two powers was
directed against one or more OF the other
powers. That would completely spoil its
possible effect in mitigating the general
expenditures on armamentS.
"If an arbitration treaty is made be-
tween two great countries the lines
skclchcd out as possible by the presi-
dent of the United States, let ii be done
between the two powers concerned with
out 'arricre pensec' (by puIpose). but

may develop from il in the course OF

tend far beyond the two countries origi-

low it, and if others cf the great powers

treatment an outrage and had no idea

there was jealousy over the fact that
