BILL
NOW HlNGESqON
SUGAR TARIFF

Washington, Feb. 23.-Chances for
a complete agreement today between
senate and house conferees on the
Fordney emergency tariff bill. appear
ed to hinge on the possibility of
acn an accord on the sugar tariff
added to the bill by the senate. AL
though agreements were reached on
dairy products and several other
items yesterday, house conferees con-
unuedsto stand out against any sugar
tarin and also vigorously opposed the
senate amendment increasing, the duty
on wheat from 80 to 40 cents a bush.
Ell. IN tobacco tariffs also still re-
manned to be agreed upon.
Senator Penrose Of Pennsylvania,
head of the senate c%onferees declared.
however, that there was "a reasonable
prospect Of q complete agreement
today and added hat the conferees
would "have to reach an agreement
this week."

protest relative tc the mandate ques-
ton, receipt Of which by Hugh C..
Wallace, American ambassador to
France, was announced to the coun-
Gil Of the League of Nations yester-
day, vas laid before the council when
it assembled this morning. 1t was
the first subject under discussion by
the members Of the council.
The action of the United States in
asserting it's right to participate in
the disposition of mandates arising
under the covenant Of the League Of
Nations created interest in the meet
ing Of the council. which hitherto had
been absent. Some newspapers today
INDUCED in mild speculation relative
to the official text of the communica-
ton and what differences might be
drawn from the fact that it had been
dispatched to Europe.
The American note was presented
to the council in English and in view
Of its considerable length it was de-
cided' to have it translated into
French. so that each member might
have an Understandable copy before
him when it came up for discussion.
1t was understood the. note probably
would not be given out until late
today.
