The committee decided to call on the
Treasury Department for estimates on
the difference in the cost Of production
of wool products, cloth and clothing here
and abroad before agreeing ON any new
duties on these articles. Many of the
products named in the bill are now on
the free list The measure was framed
in the unprecedented time of six hours.
Republicans backing the bill state that
practically all of the House Democrats
will support the emergency tariff bill.
There is some doubt, however, if the
Democrats will break all their tradi-
tons and for the first time in the history
of their party vote for protective tariff.
Already democratic opposition in the
Senate to the tariff has started to de-

has called a meeting OF the Senate DEM

tendency of the Legislation would be TO

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,

, Washington. ID. C., Dec. IL.
Two steps to stimulate the demand and
prices for farm products were taken in
the Hohse to-day BY bipartisan coalition
of Western and Southern Representa-
tives which completely routed the repre-
sentation from the Eastern manufacture
ing sections
The House, after three hours debate
passed the resolution of Senator Gronna
On. ID, providing for the revival Of the
War Finance Corporation, in order to
encourage export OF agricultural prod
ucts. The vote was 212 to 61, all OF the
opposition coming from the Eastern
manufacturing sections. An amendment
striking out the Senate provision that It
is the opinion of Congress that the Fed
eral Reserve Board should extend liberal
credits to agricultural regions was
adopted, thus making further action by
the Senate necessary before the resolu-
ton can be sent to the President for an
almost certain veto.
Meanwhile the House Ways and
Means Committee was already rushing
TO the aid of the farmers by writing an
emergency tariff bill placing almost
prohibtory duties on agricultural prod
uctS. The bill was virtually completed
and Representative Fordney (Mich.),
chairman OF the committee, expects to
ask for action on it next week

TOKEN OF THEIR GOOD WILL
soviet Government Made Present Of
Entire Train to Americans Whom
They Expelled.

When the soviet government took
control IN the Urals, writes French
Strother in the Worlds Work, the
workmen at Kyshtim organized their
soviet. They waited on the American
stafr at the mines and said they were
sorry, but new day had dawned, In
which the workers would be able to
own and operate everything them
selves. Respectfully, because they
liked them, they would have to send
their American friends away. The day
OF their departure arrived and the
workmen and their wives and children
escorted the staff. as guard Of honor,
to a special train which they had pro-
vided to take them away from Kysh-
tim. The train was decked with flags
and loaded with flowers and delicacies
Just as 1t was about to pull out, amid
the friendly shouts of the newly en-
throned proletariat. the leader Of the
soviet In great excitement called the
senior American back to the platform.
II almost forgot to tell you," he
gasped. 1.-The special train-don't
bother to send 1t back; 1t also Is a
present from tho soviet to our good
friends the Americans"

WE MUST NOT CALL 1T A LEAGUE.

Elihu Root, author of the Treaty
plank in the Republican platform, rep
resented the United States at a meet
ing of the commission for a permanent
court of international justice provided
for in article XIV of the covenant OF
the league. The occasion obviously
calls for comment from Hiram Johnson
and Senator Lodge. For Johnson it
is an obvious duty to declare that
either Mr.. Roots presence at The
Hague means nothing or else the
Republican platforms Reputation" of
the league means nothing. For Sen
ator Lodge it is an obvious duty to
explain just how Mr.. Roots presence
at The Hague fails to be an endorse
ment Of the league which the Repub-
lican Convention refused to endorse.
Hiram johnson and Henry Cabot
Lodge, as watchmen on the battlements
of American independence against
foreign conspiracies, should have no
trouble In disposing of the foreigner
Leon Bourgeois. When this eminent
Frenchman asserted that Mr. Roots
presence was promise that America
would enter the league in spite of tenn
porary difficulties, he was plainly talk
ing nonsense. America may enter an
Association of nations" such as the
Republican platform endorses. Amer
lea may enter general and Immediate
conference for the prevention Of war
in time of crisis, such as the Republi
can platform endorses. America will
subscribe to the international court of
justice. America may subscribe to all
the basic ideas of the League of Ma
lions, but only on condition that for
eigners refrain from calling it league.
AS against league called league and
for league called an association of
nations, Lodge is prepared to fight to
the last ditch. Senator Lodge, being
a scholar and linguist, will have no
difficulty in explaining the difference
between an association of nations, as
he calls 1t, and the societe des nations
as the dangerous foreigners call the
league.
To Elihu Root we can only extend
our sincerest wishes for success in his
labors in behalf of an international
court which the Republican Convention
accepted as the gravestone of the
league, but which NJ. Bourgeois &C.
cepted as the cornerstone of the league.
Mr.. Root has the advantage over Mr.
Lodge in mind and in courage. He
has the additional advantage of being
three thousand miles away from Hiram
Johnson. The latter cannot come
knocking at the door of the council
chamber and pull Mr.. Root out of con-
ference whenever there is danger of
agreement on honor and necessity.

BUSINESS PROSPECT IN PRESI
DENTAL YEAR.

No matter how the Presidential
election turns, business promises to
thrive throughout the year. 1t used
to be that Presidential campaigns
meant unsettled industrial affairs.
But the situation has changed in re-
cent years. With the nomination of
Mckinley business reached a high de-
gree of prosperity. In 1912 business
rose to top speed. The campaign of
1920 finds business flourishing. The
Republican ticket just nominated has
an appeal for the business and in
duStrial interests of the country, and
it is safe to assume that the Demo-
Gratis will not only adopt business
like platform, but there is hope of
the nomination of strong and popu-
lar standard bearer.
Governor Cox of Ohio would be a
telling candidate against Senator
Harding of Ohio; or if McAdoo should
be chosen he would be hard man to
beat. He Is constructive and re-
sourceful business man of large vision.
If the Democrats are wise they will
be on their mettle at San Francisco
and act so as to keep the party in
power another four years.
But however the tide turns, the
business interests are safe.
But If John w. Davis, our talented
minister to the Court of st. James is
the dark horse, the whole country
could afford to rejoice.
