L Underwood Has
Plan to Double
Chinese Tariff
Proposed Increase Designed
to Raise $35, 100000 a
Year and Serve as Basis
for 100000, 1000 Loan
Too Much, Pleads Japan
Nipponese Would Limit Ad-
ditional Revenue to 10
Millions, Delegate Insists
By Thomas Steep

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-China's
present bankrupt condition, which she
attributes in part to her low import
duties arbitrarily fixed by the powers
for the last seventy-nine years, will
be materially improved if plan pro-
posed to-day by Senator Underwood,
of the American delegation, is adopted
by the armament limitation conference.
The plan, which was presented by Mr..
Underwood to the Far Eastern sub
authorize China to double her revenue
from taxes on imports, thus giving her
$35 100000 more year, upon which, it
is estimated, she could borrow about
s4oO 600, 900 for the building of rail-
roads and for other internal improve
ments.
The Japanese delegates opposed the
Underwood plan. They contended that
The Chinese tariff should be increased
to Weld China not more than $4,000,
600 additional annual revenue. Masanao
Hanihara, the Japanese Vice Minister
for Foreign Affairs, said Japan was
more vitally concerned III the proposed
increase than any other country be-
cause 40 per cent of her foreign trade
was with China.
Complete Autonomy Sought
No other Far Eastern question has
given the conference greater concern
than that raised by China's plea for
complete tariff autonomy. Her dele
gates contend that if the Chinese Re-
public is ever to dof the swaddlng
clothes which it put on when it over
threw the Manchu dynasty ten years
ago, it must be permitted to regulate
it's own tariff.
Much interest, therefore, centcred in
the sub committee, of which Mr.. I'm
derwood is chairman, when it resumed
its sessions after q two weeks recess.
Three plans were proposed. DR., Well
ington koo presented China's plea for
restoration of her tariff autonomy
which ended when Great Britain signed
the Treaty of Nanking in 1912. This
treaty, subsequently concurred in by
other powers, provided that China
should not collect more than 5 per cent
ad valorem on all imports. Provision
was made for periodic revision of the
since the last revision was made in
1915 the Chinese delegates argued, the
per cent has become merely nominal,
the actual revenue being only 312 per
cent This yields China only about
$35, 100000, it was contended, so that
the Chinese Republic has been forced
to negotiate vast loans and is still
1 in urgent need of funds.
Japan Favors Slight Increase
As soon as it was made evident that
the powers would not consent to re-
/ store tariff autonomy to China at once
proposals for improving her condition
were presented. The Japanese dele
cation suggested that an increase of
/ y per cent would be the maximum

Kaiser Has to Economic
On Christmas Presents
Holly and Tree in Chapel and
Ex-Crown Prince and Two
Sons There for HOLIDAYS

DOORN, Holland, Dec. 27 (By The
Associated Press ).-Former Emperor
William of Germany and his household
celebrated their third Christmas in
exile Sunday. Owing to the fact that
the former imperial family is still in
mourning for the ex-Empress, the OBJ
servances this year were quiet.
Former Grown Prince Frederick Will
liam, with his two sons, came to Doorn
to stay with the exEmperor during the
holidays. Doorn Castle was decorated
with holly, and in the chapel there was
large Christmas tree, around which
the former imperial household as
sembled at night to sing their favorite
carols. Christmas eve William Hohen-
zollern called the entire household into
the hall and personally handed each Of
the members their Christmas presents,
which consisted chiefly of money.
In long speech the former En-
peror thanked my faithful friends"
for their loyalty. He explained that
owing to the severe crrtailment in his
income he was compelled to econom.ze
and make his gifts smaller than they
had been in previous years.

Special Deputy Police Commissioner
DR.. Carlton Simon, in charge of the
narcotic division, said last night in
reference to the sudden narcotization
of an Oklahoma police official by
means of a cigarette:
81 am thoroughly familiar with the
drug used in this case. We have re-
Gently caused law to be passed in
New York to prevent just such occur
rences SO far as possible. 1t is not
only possible TO get enough of this
drug in a cigarette to render the
smoker unconscious, but it is possible
to roll enough of it in one cigarette to
murder a smoker.
81 am asking as a special favor and
for obvious reasons that you suppress
the name of this drug. There are nu-
merous poisons the names and natures
of which should not be given publicity,
as such publicity would only facilitate
the commission of murder and out
lawry."

Thief Uses Drugggged Cigarette
To Steal Fingerp1'int Record

OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 81. A
stranger who represented himself as
a postoffice inspector entered police
headquarters here to-day, gave an Off
Ger a narcotized cigarette, and while
the latter was unconscious walked out
with fingerprint evidence obtained by
the police from bottle Of explosive
used in a recent robbery OF a Santa
Fe mail car near Edmond, Okla.
The stranger introduced himself as
"Mr. Williams" H. A. Murphy, Bertil-
Ion expert, produced the tingerprints
and was talking to the man about the
robbery when the latter offered him q
cigarette, the officer related, after two
physicians had spent three hours re-
viving him.
Murphy said that after lighting the
cigarette he talked a few minutes to
the man and then lost consciousness
His last remembrance, he said, was
seeing the stranger reach for the prints
and hearing him say, "Well. ] got you

Must Defend Her Coasts.

IF our answer Is not the sam.
As for the capital ships in regard
to the other categories OF vessels.
ii is because the tonnages which
we have indicated correspond to
material needs of defense, to ne
cessities of protection which must
no longer be denied. for we shall
not cease to afism them strongly.
We have no desire to destroy mer-
chant vessels. as Mr.. BaIfour has
said; we have formally declared the
contrary here. and this declaration
The Washington herald., 1921-12-29

is a treaty of guarantee which will
protect France against Germun at
tack and assist France in collecting
German indemnity. Without this IN
demnity France feels that she ill
be ruined. To get 1t she will play
any card left in her hand. This is
the cold fact of the situation.
Free Hand for Japan.
But neither Mr.. Hughes nor his
associates would accept this fact.
They believed French policy would
prove amenable to American public
opinion, enormously stimulated by
the writings of British propagan-
dist journalists. The result is now
unmi stakable. France has not
yielded. and the naval Limitation
program is well nigh ruined. while
the japanese have an opportunity
to do as they please in the Far East
since the responsibility for any
failure Of the conference is to be
saddled upon the French.
We are then right back in the
situation OF the Paris conference.
Mr.. Hughes has failed in the sub
marine matter. as did Mr.. Wilson III
the matter OF Fiume. because he has
totally failed to analyze the public
sentiment of a European country,
and relied upon the reaction upon
an American audience to stampede
foreign populace.
As for the question of another
conference either in Europe or here
TO deal with the submarine and
auxiliary ship questions, there Is
no present prospect or hope for such
a meeting. AS long as the French
hold their present ground. there Is
no possibility of coercing them, and
no hope OF success. therefore, for
such a conference. In point of fact,
the question of the submarine now
becomes one of the items on the
agenda of the next AnGlo-French
meeting. pending which all limita-
ton IN this craft must be postponed.

cruisers shall be limited to 200

coed SSinch rifles.
Lee OHerx Substitute.
The Hughes proposal was imme-
diately accepted by Mr.. Balfour for
the British delegation. The spokes-
man for the Japanese, French and
Italian delegations indorsed the
plan as to it's main points, but said
that I. would have to be submitted
to their respective governments
However, Lord Lee, 70 rthe British.

craft carries, hereafter built shall
exceed total tonnage displacement
OF 10000 tons. and no gun shall be
carried by any such ship. other than
capital ships. with a csliber in ex-
cess of eight inches"
Chairman Hughes accepted the
amendment for the United States,
and the other powers reserved their
decisions until they shall have heard
from their own capitals.

Admiral de Bon. for the French,
was inclined to believe that the fix
ing OF a 10000 tonnage was unwise
If the armament was to be limited
to S-inch rifles. However, he made
1t plain that he wanted time to
study the entire matter before an
nouncing any decision.
The question ef having the pres-
ent conference adopt a resolution
reaffirming international law as Il
applies TO naval warfare then was
taken up. The American delega
ton offered a resolution which. in
effect. reaffirmed the law applying
to submarines which was violated
! by Germany, and as result OF
which violation the United States
declared war. The resolution. as
adopted, provided that whereas che
signatory powers to the agreement
were desirous to make more effec-
tive regulations for the protection
OF neutrals and noncombatants &,
hereby was agreed:
n) Tha. hereafter submarines
shall not attack merchant vessels
until after they have been sun
jected to stoppage. visitation and
search.
Must Provide Escape.
ca That hereafter no merchan,
vessel shall be attacked by any
! submarine until after it has been
stoppe1 visited and searched un-
less, after due signal. it shall en-
| deavor to escape. And that nc
vessel shall be sunk until provision
is made for safety of its passenger,
and crew.
ca That hereafter should an,
submarine be unable to carry into
, effect the foregoing rules agains'
\ any merchantman. the latter shall
de allowed to escape.
90 That all OF the martini.
powers OF the world shall be in

II was admitted during the dis.
cussion that it would be impossibI.
to make any resolution of thi.

backed up by the whole force OF
the public opinion of the Who'll,

this sort indorsed by all nation,
would effectively reguate the us,
OF submarines. especially agains'
merchant vessels.
