Cuban Sugar Income
Doubled by Price Rise

Although sugar exports from Cuba
to the United States during 1890 fell
off 460, 100000 pounds from the 1919
figures, the value of the declared
exports was nearly double the past
year, the Department of Commerce
announced yesterday.
The higher price of sugar ac-
counted for this large increase. the
department stated. In 1919, 2,105,-
s33,514 pounds, valued at s120,134,-
752, were exported from Cuba to this
country, while in 1s2Oi the Cuban
sugar exports to this country totaled

Amendment to Tariff Bill
Gets 7 Democratic
Supporters.
TWO REPUBLICANS
OPPOSE MEASURE
Scanty Attendance at
Start of Senate Session
Causes Mix-up.

Democratic votes yesterday proved
the saliva ton of the Senate Repub-
licans in carrying forward the emer-
gency tariff program. a crack
which developed on the majority
side Of the chamber, however, pre-
vented the joint Congressional steer
ing committee. which met yester-
day afternoon. from finding a solu-
tion to the existing tangle.
Senator George H. Moses, of New
Hampshire. who, with Senator Hen
ry w. keyes, also from New Hamp-
shire, voted with the Democrats
against the bill all day. announced
that he would object to a unanimous
consent agreement for a vote on the
measure il Senator John Sharp Will
liams of Mississippi failed to carry
out his intention to do so.
Leaders Confident.
Senate leaders, notably Senator
Roies Penrose, cling to the belief
that by constant pressure a vote
can be reached on the tariff meas
ure without the necessity of an
agreement to vote. They feel con-
WINGED that the opponents to the bill
will talk themselves out in a few
more days There is a STRONG de-
sire, however. among the Republic
ans who do not regard the tariff bill
as so vital to get some Of the ap-
preparation measures through il
this frh
resented at the steering committee
meeting.
The conference isbandedeWithout
having accomplished anything more
than to instruct its members to can
vass their respective houses and see
II any agreement or program could
be reached to get through the sup
ply bill and present President Hard
ing with a clean slate for the extra
session The desire Of the Repub-
licaps, Il was understood after the
conference, was to avoid the neces-
sity Of bringing Congress together
any earlier than April 4. the date
heretofore announced by Harding.
The sCanty attendance when the
Senate met an hour earlier yesterday
morning came very near proving
I

wood, Of Alabama, and Pat Harri-
son, of Mississippi, who were on
the floor to protect the interests Of
the minority chatted away in a cor
ner while Senators moved and OBJ
tanned the passage Of the wheat
amendment without a roll call. Their
protests after the action had been
taken brought reconsideration and
II was more than two hours later
when the wheat amendment was
again adopted by a vote OF 3S to 2S
The seven Democrats who voted
with the Republicans were: Ash
Urst, Gay. Jones, Of New Mexico;
Kendrick, Myers. Ransdell and Shep-
pard. Senators Moses and Keyes
were the only Republicans to vote
with the minority. II party lines
had been strictly adhered to the
vote would have resulted in a tie
and failure of the amendment.
The duty of two cents on fresh
and frozen meats was put on by a
slightly larger majority. Seven
Democrats again voted with the Re
publicans this time. Senator Charles

EUROPE EAGER
TO DISARM, SIMS
SAYS AT HEARING
Butler Predicts Harding
Will Soon Call World
Conference.

When Rear Admiral william S
Sims told the House Naval Affairs
Committee yesterday that the peo-
pie of Europe were eager for dis
armament, Representative Thomas
S. Butler Of Pennsylvania, chairman
Of the committee, fatty stated that
he knew that the nations of the
world would be invited into an in
Iternational conference on the sub
ject. Butler said. however, that he
was in no wise speaking for Presi-
dent-elect Harding. with whom he
recently conferred in Marion.
The occasion was the appearance
I before the committee of naval ex-
perts and Brig. Gen. William Mitch
ell, head of the army air service. for
a discussion Of the future develop
ment of the air defense of the coun-
try.
Butler asked Admiral Sims If he
thought other countries would well
come an invitation to a conference
on disarmament.
They would accept at once, 1 feel
confident" Sims said. 1T is no
longer necessary for Great Britain
to have a fleet like she now has.
If Great Britain, the United States,
and Japan were to cut their naval
forces in half, their relative power
would remain the same. I think the
countries on the other side wouIu
welcome an invitation to meet and
discuss the whole thing
IF I were king and could do as
l pleased" Admiral Sims declared,
Il would take six OF the ten battle
ships now building and turn them
into airplane carriers. would
gamble on the airplane that far.
But l would not change the battle
cruisers. They are essential in COM
batting an enemy fleet"
Rear Admiral Charles ]. Badger,
chairman of the executive commit
tee of the Naval Board, insisted that
the "battleship must remain the
powerful unit although the type
must be altered to meet the ad-
vancements in science" He said
he did not favor disarmament in
advance of other nations. and only
by such an agreement as would give
the United States a navy equal to
that Of any other in the world.
He assessed the value of the air
craft as a fighting power at 10 per
cent.
The battleship of today is a capi-
tai ship" Rear Admiral Bradley
Fiske, retired, said. 1T is perfectly
idle to say what is going to happen
in naval ornaments. Giev us two
airplane carriers and instruct Ad-
miral Taylor, who is the best naval
constructor in the world, to con-
tinue his experiments along this
line. Get a bureau of aeronautics
and continue the experiment which
already have been begun. The air
plane carrier is superior in all
around fighting powers to any bat
tleship designed today"
An unfavorable report on Senator
Borah's plan for a six months sus-
pension Of naval building was filed
with the Senate Naval Affairs Com
mittee yesterday by a subcommittee,
The subcommittee referred to the
full committee a request by Borah
! that Admirals Sims, Fiske and Full
lam and some other naval officers
be called to testify on the measure
The full committee will meet Sat-
urday to receive and act on the
report

PACE THAT KILLS
HIS INQUIRY TOPIC;
LOOKS FOR GERM
DIR. GOldwater Believes
Lots of Pep Causes
Longevity.

The pernicious germ of the pace
that kills" is the latest quarry of
the medical profession.
The hunt is on-the country is
being combed from Portland, Oreg.,
to Key West-and it is not going
to be the fault of DR.. A. l. Gold
water, OF New York, commander-in-
chief of the expedition, If the deadly
little bacillus. or whatever it is.
escapes the test tube and the micro
scope.
DR.. Goldwater is the head of the
research department of the Medical
Review of Reviews and in this ca
! pacity he has undertaken to gather
data on the pace that kills.
2 Letters of inquiry have been sent
out to 5000 of the leading business
and professional men of the coun-
| try requesting their personal views
on the subject based on observa-
tion and experience.
What Makes for Longevity
| Is it the strenuous life or the
simple life that is most conducive
to longevity? Is the pan who re-
tires from active business in the
middle fifties likely to survive
longer than the man who continues
actively in harness? Does the use
of mental and physical energy to
the nth power beget more energy
to replace it? These are a few Of
the questions that DR.. Goldwater
expects to answer when the returns
are in.
The whole inspiration for this
research came to me while reading
an article entitled The Pace that
Kills by DR.. Woods Hutchinson in
the current number of the COsmo-
politan Magazine" DR.. Goldwater
said recently at his home in the
Eastern metropolis.
Postwar conditions have keyed
the country up to such high pitch
of effort that it is of the utmost inn
portance for the medical profession,
as well as the laity, to know how
these extraordinary times will re-
act physically on the men and wom-
en- of the nation"
Rather Strenuous Himself.
DR.. Goldwater himself is an apos-
tie of the strenuous life.
1T is a truism, he said, that a
man living at high speed lives more
| and accomplishes more in a few
years than the man living at a nor
NAL rate. The big question that re-
mains unanswered is whether this
man living at a high speed and un-
der high tension will not also live
greater number of years, thus
| TRIPPING or even quadrupling the
average of accomplishment and eff
fort.
"Of course there is the very i'm
portant psychological element to be
considered. Personally 1 believe
! that the man living strenuously will
/ live longer, providing that his ac-
tivity is accompanied by an intense
! interest in what he is doing. There
| is no doubt that a man who is work
| ing at grateful tasks can travel
faster and keep going longer than
the man who is merely vegetating.'
