Perhaps the finest tribute to this

FOR he first played it for its musical
beauty without knowing the identity of
the composer.
The composition is In a slow. rock

gracefully swayed in and out of major

simple naive. yet ever beautiful effect.

Strong opposition is being mani
tested in the House to the proposed
duties on crude and fuel oil, inserted
in the Fordney tariff by Republicans
Of the Ways and Means Committee a
few hours before it was introduced in
the House
A good sized bloc of Republicans is
being formed to fight the duties of S5
cents a barrel or crude and 25 cents on
fuel, and it has been assured unani-
nous support of Democrats. The Re-
publicans are demanding that Mr..
F'ordney explain what emergency"
caused the committee to reverse itself
and take these oils from the free list
after copies of the bill had been given
to the press in confidence. Chairman
Fordney issued his first statement on
the bill to-day. but did not mention oil.
Inquiry also is being made by COM
mittee members how news OF its last
minute action or oil leaked" to Wall
Street Wednesday when the understand
ing was that the rates were to be kept
confidential until Thursday morning
Press representatives learned of the
action Wednesday noon, but feeling un-
der a pledge of confidence to the COM
mittee not to reveal any duties until
Thursday morning. they withheld an
nouncement of these duties. The rates
however, became known through ppivate
sources in Wall Street and several i'm
portant oil centres Of the country.

Representative Chandler (Okla.). who
was instrumental in obtaining the OIL
duties, said to-day that the rates would

becoming a monopoly, would bring down
the price of gasolene to about fifteen
cents a gallon and save the people
S51 ,000,0 900 in taxes.

that the new tariff bill will enrich the
at the expense Of the public"
said Mr.. Chandler. "They have done
this for years, every time,a Republican
tariff bill was brought out. Crude oil
and fuel oil are coming into this coun-
try from Mexico at the rate OF 4,500,-

Special Cable 10 THE New YORK HERALD.
Copyright, 1921. by The New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Paris, July 1.
Considerable surprise was expressed
in official circles here to-day over
Washington dispatches stating that
the allied Governments have already
been notified regarding President Har-
ding's intention to recall the American
doughboys from the Rhine on or
shortly after the Fourth Of July in
view of the approaching official end
ing of state of war with Germany.
The Foreign Office here professed to
know nothing whatsoever of such an
intention. The NEW YORK HERALD
bureau was informed. however, that the
possibility OF the withdrawal was the
subject Of several conversations Of Am
bassador Jusserand at Washington dur
ing the latter days of the Wilson re-
gime. Both the British and French
since then have prepared a plan to be
put into operation the minute the United
States troops start homeward.
Although denying that work of the
proposed withdrawal of the American
troops had been received. French OIL
cials expressed hope that the report was
not true. 1t was just as fitting for the
United States troops to remain In Ger
many. where their presence with the
allied soldiers would have a great moral
effect they pointed out, as for the
United States to retain membership in
the Reparations Commission, the Su-
preme Council or the Council OF Am
bassadors. The official ending of the
state OF war with Germany would not,
IL was felt, make any material differ
ence in the situation. and it would be
regrettable il the unity of the front of
the Rhine were broken.
The plan prepared by the British and
French In the event of the departure of
the American troops, 1t was said, will
Involve the transfer Of French head
quarters from Mayence to Coblenz, ad-
vancing the French battalions which
have been controlling the Luxembourg
frontier, Treves and other towns in the
rear of the American troops to outposts
IN the occupied zone.
The Frer.ch general staff considers
that It can easily perform the duties of
occupation with the troops already in
the Rnineland. as the staff has been con-
sidering for some time q reduction in
the size of the forces of occupation in
certain areas in order to meet the gem
eral desire for reduction in military
expenses. and so counter the German
contention that the reparations settle
men, is being delayed by the vast sums
necessary to pay for the upkeep Of
allied troops there.

~ was BY Minority Leader Under

AaI.s." He insisted that the only proper
method of concluding peace was by

Protect American Labor.

In his statement Nj. Fordney said !:
with the revival Of production in Eu-
rope, American industries have suffered
and unemployment In the United States
has steadily Increased. That there
should be readjustment after the war
was inevitable. but the existence Of an
inadequate tariff law on our statute
books, law that does not protect Amer
lean industries and does not guarantee
the American market for American
products Is making the effects OF the
readjustment doubly severe.
''The German ex-soldier is finding en-
ployment in his native land on the in
crease, while the American soldier is
encounterng more difficulty as the days
go by in securing employment.
Under existing rates many products
from Germany, japan and other coun-
tries are coming upon the American
markets at far less than the American
cost of production. The displacement
OF American labor is the inevitable re-
suit. The purpose OF the new bill is to
enable American industries to meet the
severe competition to which they are
now subjected"
Mr.. Fordney said lumber is on the free
list and that the committee had not
changed it's position in this regard.
There are, however, several duties on
woods in the bill and insurgents still are
objecting to giving TO the President
power to decide whether a 25 per cent.
reciprocal duty on finished Canadian
lumber shall apply. Regarding the
American valuation system Mr.. Fordney
said:
While the bill was being discussed
and with 1t the proposal for assessing
duties on American values, it was con-
tended by some that the proposal was
one to obtain some sort of concealed pro-
lection and that 1t was a cloak under
which import duties would be materially
increased. An examination of the bill.
however. will correct that erroneous pre-
dictlon. The committee has taken full
cognizance Of the fact that 1t is a pro-
posed duty on values generally and has
reduced the rates accordingly.
"The comparison of the rates set forth
In the bill. for instance, with the rates in
the tariff act of 1909 will indicate the
reduction in rates
The New York herald., 1921-07-02

Committee will defeat this monopolistic
attempt There Is a surplus of g. billion
gallons of gasolene In the United States
and surplus of 50.000.000 is being
stored away every month. There is no
excuse for the present high price Of
gasolene in view of this great surplus
owned largely by the Standard.
"Oil producers are being paid 20 per
cent. less for their oil, as it comes from
the wells and Standard has reduced
sasolene on.y 20 per cent. Two hundred
and ten thousand oil wells in the United
States, producing high quality prod
uct. wells producing less than two bar
rels day. will be forced to shut down
If the present unlimited importation of
oil from Mexico Is not stopped. The
reason the independent refiners cannot
compete with Standard Oil is because
they buy their oil from American wells.
Tho Standards large importation of
crude and fuel oils have prevented the
American independent refiners from
selling their subsidiary products. We
will collect $51.000.000 from the Stand
ard OIL Company on the fuel and crude
oil importations from Mexico alone"
