Washington, Dec. 3.-The British
Embassy to-day notified the trade ad-
visers of the State Department that
the embargo on the expectation of dye
stufs from Germany TO neutral coun-
tries had been lifted. This complete
modification OF the Order in Council,
it is believed, will lead to the exporta-
ton Of sufficient dyes TO the United
States TO relieve the threatened scare
ity which has prevented the operation
of many American industries.
The only dyestuffs from Germany in
recent months were two cargoes sew
eral months ago from Rotterdam.
These were said 10 have been pur-
chased before March l, when the Order
in Council, placing an embargo on all
dyestufs, was promulgated.

CANE TRIO HOLD "AT HOME
Bankers Flock Here to Look at Al

Old acquaintance were renewed IN
the West Side court yesterday after
noon. when the three men charged with
attempting to steal s1,5e0 in bills from
the paying teller's cage in the Colonial
Bank were unwilling hosts at a rectpoion
to bank officials from all parts of the
country. From the point of view Of
the bankers the affair was a success,
for several of them said they recog-
nized members of the trio as persons
they had seen at their banks about the
time sums of money were missed.

CANNON DERIDES
M'ADOO'S FINANCE
Let President Forget Ezekiel
and Con Lesson of Prod
igal Son, He Says.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The ghosts Of
millions that were in the Treasury in
the old Republican days, but which
have long since been dissipated by
Democratic extravaganza, are now being
counted by Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo to make an appearance Of pros
perity that is not, according TO Uncle
Joe Cannon, one of the freshman"
members of the House of Representa-
tives. Uncle Joe thinks the practice is
something like voting tombstones.
"Mr Kitchin, who will be st the head
Of the committee which has TO find
revenue, and Mr.. McAdoo, who is the
chief spender. do not agree as to the
assets" said Mr.. Cannon. "Mr. Kitchin
finds a deficit, Mr. McAdoo a surplus. |
have known such disagreements in fam
lilies, where the provider and the spend
ers look at the bank account from diff
ferent angles, but it is not common for
two great administration leaders TO
take such radically opposing views as
to fact.
"The Treasury either has a surplus
or ii has deficit, and the party in
power ought to make the situation
clear to the country before it asks the
minority party to cooperate on plan
to spend millions Of money which may
not be in existence.
Three years ago the administration
did not consult Republicans about the
reduction Of taxes. They made their
tariff bill in secret caucus and bound
their members to vote for it without
amendment of any kind from the floor.
There was the beginning Of this
muddle. Secretary McAdoo chased the
surplus left in the Treasury by Repub-
licans until it died from utter exhaus-
ton. He is now chasing its ghost. and,
according to Mr.. Kitchin, the Secretary
is seeing old Republican ghosts when
he talks about a surplus.
Preparedness ought to have been
provided for by maintaining bank &C
count to meet extraordinary expendi-
lures. The Republicans left such bank
account, but il has been dissipated in
the same way the Prodigal Son disposed
of his surplus. The President has evil
IDENTIFY forgotten that parable and has
turned TO Ezekiel, the most pessimis-
tic prophet of the Old Testament.
"He might have found better quota
ton from the old Roman. Tacitus, who
said: The peace of nations cannot be
secured without arms, nor arms with
out pay, nor pay without taxes The
whole argument is there, especially IN
the last two clauses. Preparedness can
not be without pay, nor pay without
taxes"

TAVENNER DEFIES
NAVY LEAGUE HEAD
Representative Dares Defence
Body to Prove Good Faith by
Urging u. S. Plants.

Washington, Dec. Representative
Clyde II. Tavenner, of Illinois, reopened
his attacks on the Navy League to-day
in let r TO its president, Colonel
Robert VI. Thompson, giving names and
dates in substantiation of his charge
that the league is largely controlled by
big munitions interests. He suggests
to Colonel Thompson. as the only
means of refuting the allegation. that
the league 90 on record in favor OF
government manufacture of battle
ships, armament and munitions.
In his bill of particulars Mr.. Taven-
ner points out that Ebert II. Gary,
chairman of the board Of directors of
the United States Steel Corporation,
subscribed 81 900 to the league on
June 10, 1915, and that on the same
date representatives, OF the j. p. Nor
gtn estate contributed $4,000 He
notes that Edward T. Stotesbury, a
partner Of Mr.. Morgan, and director in
several munitions and steel companies,
is an honorary vice-president of the
league. He also calls attention TO the
fact that Allan A. Ryan, director of
tn. Bethlehem Steel Corporation, con-
tributed 500 to the Navy League on
June 10, 1919, and that George X. Shell
don, director of the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation and the American Loco
motive Company, both of which con-
Germs have profted hugely from Euro
pean war orders, is one of the vice.
presidents of the league.
"The Bethlehem Steel Corporation
has obtained from the Navy Depart
ment armor contracts amounting TO
S42,321 ,237, and, if the Navy Leagues
programme goes through, Bethlehem
stands to receive increased orders" he
says.
From the foregoing it would appear
that two of the three concerns COM
posing the armor ring in this country
have representation either among the
contributors to the Navy League or
among the officers or directors of the
Navy League.
THE government has purchased from
these two concerns, Bethlehem and
Carnegie, S75,275,6l4 worth of armor
plate, paying an average price of APP
proximately S440 a ton tEercfor. II
this armor plate had been manufact-
ured in a government armor plate fac
tory, which the Navy League has cold
shouldered, at least S25,000,000 could
have been saved to the American tax

The first gathering of Republican
Senators of the session was held for
several hours this afternoon in the
room of Senator Gallnger, dean of the
Senate and Republican floor leader. No
definite action was taken except to fix
on 10 o'clock Monday morning two
hours before the Sixty-fourth Congress
is formally called TO order-as the time
for the Republican Senate conference,
at which it will be decided what candi-
dates the Republicans will put forward
for the Senate Offices. None of them
will be elected as the Democrats are
in control, but the man voted for by
the Republican Senators for President
pro tempore will become the Republi-
can floor leader. There is no disposition
to advance any other name for this
post than that of Dr. Gallnger
The utmost harmony was said to
characterize the gathering, most OF the
Senators congratulating themselves on
the absence of any such friction as has
characterized the Democratic caucus. II
was believed, following the gathering
to-day, that the party will present a
united front to the Democrats during
the session. indicative of q similar
front next summer and fall in the cam
paign.

Caucus Action To-day Not
Expected to Bind
Democrats.
FORCE BILL STILL
HAUNTS THE SOUTH
Opponents of National Child
Labor Laws Fight Move
Owen Plan in Disfavor.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Dec 3. Unanimous
consent to a vote on cloture at 8
o'clock tomorrow afternoon was
reached just before adjournment after
an all-day session by the caucus Of
the Senate Democrats. The caucus ac-
tioI, now insured for tomorrow, is not
expected to bind all Democratic Sena-
tors present to vote for the cloture
plan. There probably will be a sep
arate vote on that question. which, in
the opinion Of many, even among those
who favor a mild form of cloture, will
be strongly against any binding action.
The strongest opposition to the idea
of cloture comes from the Southern
Senators, who are afraid that if the old
emergency specific should be taken
away they might some day, when the
Republicans are again in power. nave
another Force bill to combat. They
AVE never forgotten that it was long
flibuster, engineered by the late Sena-
tor Arthur Pue German, of Maryland,
which defeated that bill.
Senator Smith, of South Carolina,
was one of those who expressed this
fear at to-day's caucus. Other South
ern Senators, among them Vardaman,
of Mississippi, have no fear of this
issue at all. On the contrary, Mr..
day was coming when the word white"
would be placed before men" in the
Constitution, and the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth amendments repealed.
There also is opposition to the clot-
who do not wish Congress to pass any
national child labor bills.
All except few of the friends of
cloture were rather discouraged to-
night at the situation. Without bind
ing action from the caucus. which is
hardly expected, the Democrats OPP
posed TO cloture will be at liberty to
fight it on the floor. and unless several
Republican Senators join the cloture
advocates there apparently will be q
majority against cloture in the whole
Senate.
One of the reasons for the gloom of
the friends of cloture is that it is ap-
parent that the Owen plan of holding
that the Senate has no rules until it
adopts them evidently lacks major
ity 1t is sure that no Republican
Senator Eould vote for this, since that
would mean that the Democrats would
be able to put through any form Of
cloture that might be agreed on.
The essence of the plan is that the
Senate, if once assumed to have no
rules. would operate under Jefferson
Manual until rules were adopted. JEFF
fersons Manual provides for a mo-
tion Of previous question, under which
filibuster against the adoption Of
the new rules, including cloture, could
be ended whenever the majority o
