REPUBLICANS OPEN
F|RST PHASE FOR
TARIFF D|CkER|NG.
Fordney Says Repubs
Take for Granted Peo-
pie Want Protection
(By Associated Press)

Washington, July S.-The house
got under way today in its consid.
GRAFTON of the Fordney tariff bill.
Chairman Fordney of the ways and
means committee after reading of
the bill had been completed in a
speech of nearly two hours, develop
ing the first phase of the republican
argument.
In his speech Mr.. .Fordney dis
cussed his party's attitude, what is
proposed to do to remedy conditions
and to help business. He dwelt only
briefly on details of the rates and
provisions touching them, only incl
dentally or in reply to questions, but
announced that other speakers would
explain specific schedules in the
measure.
Criticising the position of the de-
Mr.. Fordney said they had
accused the republicans of drafting
a measure which would cut off ra-
ther than incourage trade, when the
cardinal policy of his committee had
been to build set of schedules which
would restore commerce and industry
to wealth.
'tThe republican party, he added, |
has taken it for granted that the |
people spoke out loudly for protec-
tion."

u. S. TO CONTINUE
OPEN DOOR POLICY
IN CHINESE AREAS.
State Department Note
Sets All Doubt of
Policy at Rest
tBy Associated Press)

| Washington, July S.-Formal de
claration of the intention of the
United States to+continue its support
of the principle of the open door is
contained in a note from the state
department to the Chinese minister
here in respect to a contract entered
into with the Chinese government by
the Federal Telegraph Co., an Am
erican concern for the erection of
wireless lstations at Shanghai and
other points in China.
The note, which was dated July /,
was in reply to one of June 9 from
the Chinese minister inquiring whe-
ther the United States intended to
withdraw its support from the Fed
eral Telegraph Co., in its rights ac-
cruing under the contract with the
Chinese government in view of pro-
test which have been made by the
British and Japanese and Danish
governments.
The reply of the state department
not only makes it clear that the
United States does not propose to
from the position hitherto
taken in support of the rights of the
company as a result of
the protest but carries the assurance
that 'it is the purpose of this gov
ernment neither to participate nor
to acquire in any arrangement which
might purport to establish in favor !
Of foreign interest any superiority
If rights with respect to commercial
'r economic development in fiesisz
lated regions of the territories of
Jhina or which might seek to create
my such monopoly or preferences as
would exclude other nations from un-
iertaking any legitimate trade or
industry or from participating with
he Chinese government in any cate
rory of public enterprise" =

General Sir Nevill MacReady
British military commander in Ire
land appeared at the Devaiera con
ference and it was not many hours
later that the announcement was
made at the prime minister's official
residence in London that in accord
ance with the premier's offer and
MIR. DeValera's reply, arrangements
were going forward for the cessation
of hostilities on Monday.
The King of England has been a
leading figure in the developments up
to the present, while General SHUTS.
the South African premier, has acted
as the pivot on which the peace
movement has turned. There is hope
in London and in Dublin too, that
peace must come out. of the forces
which are now engaged in seeking 3
settlement. .
Events Move Fast to Conclusion :
Events moved swiftly today both in
London and Dublin. Not only has Mr..
DeValera, contrary to the general ex-
pectation, consented to come to Lon
don to discuss with Mr.. Lloyd George
the basis on which settlement of the
Irish question might be reached by
the prime minister's proposed Lon
don conference, but truce has been
arranged to begin at noon Monday.
This has given reasonable assr-
that the original conference to
which the prime minister invited the
Irish republican leader ana Sir James |
Craig, the Ulster premier, will be
held.
Principal Event In Dublin
The principal events of this impor-
tant day, however, occurred not in
London but in Dublin, and the most
striking was the sensational appear
ance of General Sir Nevill McReady,
the military commander in Ireland,
at the conference of Emon DeValera
and leading southern unionists after
his aides de camp had been sent in
advance presumably to ascertain
his participation would be
agreeable. 4
