the trial of himself and Nicola Sacco
lor the murder of a paymaster and his

months there. Six or seven friends ac-
companied him. among tnem Sa-Co. The

When the district attorney asked hin

SHUTS SAYS IRISH
PROBLEM Is SOLUBLE


London. July 6-(By The A. P.)
General Jan Christian SHUTS, premier of
the Union of South Africa who has just
from visit to Ireland, public
ly expressed his opinion tonight that the
Irish problem is a soluble problem. This
statement was greeted with loud ap-
plause by the distinguished company
which attended a dinner given in honor
Of General Snuts by the South Ameri-
can colony in London.
General SHUTS opened his speech -/bv
declaring that he had not abandoned
hope of America. 'She is a GOV maiden
and must not be wooed too warmly he
said Il want to see America pull with
US in this great world service that today
is being rendered by the British Empire
almost alone"
Then. alluding humorously to his Wis
II TO Ireland, he declared that he found
the people 'divoed into two classes
those in jail, and those on the run"
He added that he himself had been
among those on the run. seeking to es-
cape reporters and cameramen.
The Irish problem. said General
SHUTS, was one largely engaging "the
whole British empire" It was a problem
however on which he could not speak
tonight except to express the belief that
It was soluble. and that if there was a
better atmosphere-"if we all help to
create a better atmosphere and are de-
termined to wipe out what is really a
strain on the empires record, we shall
succeed"
Therefore he continued emphatically.
I think, am hopeful trust. that the
question will be solved, and that there
by the British empire will be freed from
the imputation that in bhis ancient part
of the United Kingdom there still ex-
lists violation of the fundamental princi-
bles upon which the ennpire rests I say
that the problem is soluble because /
have seen it solved in my own country
under circumstances less embittered than
| in Ireland, but certainly Of a very diff
cult chara cter too"

French Object To
Tariff Provision
Protest Inspection by U. S.
Agents of Books of French
Exporters to Determine Ad
Valorem Duties.

Paris, July 6.-By The A. P.) The
French government this evening forward
ed to NJ. Jusserand, French ambassador
in Washington, for transmission to the
state department there, protest of the
French Chamber of Commerce against
the provision of the new American tar
iff law calling for inspection by Ameri-
can agents of the books of French ex-
porters for the purpose of determining
the ad valorem duties to be collected by
the United St7tes.
French exporters are said to be great
ly disturbed over this feature of the tar
if measure, and declare that under no
conditions will inspection be tolerated.
It is pointed out that such a privilege as
the American law requests is not ac-
corded even to the French government
except in unusual instances the French
/ in their protest say they are willing to
give to treasury department agents full
statements upon which the ad valorem
tax can be based
At the Office of the American CONNER
cial attache it was explained that the
treasury department agents at Paris had
made five hundred Investigations of eX-
porters' costs of production within the
| past year, and the ad yalorem duties col
! lected at New York had been based up
on these reports; which consisted large
| ly of voluntary statements by the ex-
lporters.
The American chamber of commerce
at Paris considered the French protest
at meeting held this afternoon; and
the matter was referred to the special
tax committee. The opinion was express
ed however that the law probably
would have to be modified; inasmuch as
it would be virtually impossible to get
the French exporters to consent to in
spection of their books. 1t was further
said that there was a feeling among
American business men in France that
the provision would be found impractical
BILE, but that a compromise might be
reached by having the French open theb
hooks to public accountants

commerce which has been forwarded to

ernment is against provision in the
emergency tariff law, which became ef-
fective May 81 for a period of six months.

OIL SCHEDULE SERIOUS
BLOW TO NEW ENGLAND

Boston, July s.-Governor Claiming 4.
Cox, in q letter TO governors Of the other
New England states today expressed the
opinion that the oil schedule Of the new
Fordney tariff would be "a serious blow
to New England industries.
The proposed tariff which seeks TO
place a duty OF thirty-ive cents a bar
rel on crude oil and twenty-five cents \
barrel on fuel OIL" the letter said, would
in my judgment be serious blow TO New
England industries. large number ot
which today are consuming oil. I fear
also that it would be q serious injury
TO the several new oil refneries recently
built in New England, and that il would
tend TO raise the price OF coal in New
England and increase the price Of gzso-
line.
i am expressing this view to the mem
bers Of congress from Massachusetts,. II
you feel the same. I hope you viii zd-
dress the members Of congress from your
state and urge their opposition to the
proposed tariff"
