enemies of Premier BRAND profess
to see in the small majority afforded
him in the chamber during the de-
bate on Franco-Chinese finances the

a certain assurance that the end

close parliament for the summer re-

Contributing factors to the grow

are three-Germany's continued in

may obtain sufficient confidence to
weather the storm. 1t is certain
that BRAND is sensing the popular
drift away from him and his policies
and he may, BY changing his course,
remain in power at least to the
end of 1921.
BRAND is obviously playing for
time before the forthcoming meet
ing of the Supreme Council. He
wishes to meet Lloyd George with
an absolutely free hand. Brands
general plan seems to be to beat
England to II" by working out a
scheme for German cooperation in
the rehabilitation of France, and
giving Germany plenty of leeway.

with the Leipsig trials of the war

followers of Clemenceau would be
glad enough to Join forces to toppie

Secretary of State Hughes

statement relative to the dis

which informal conversations

The President, in view OF the
far-reaching Importance OF the
question of Limitation of arma-
ment. has approached with in
formal but definite inquiries the
known as the Principal Allied
and Associated Powers. that Is.
Great Britain. France, Italy and
Japan, to ascertain whether il
would be agreeable to them tc
take part in a conference on this
subject, to be held in Washing
ton at a time to be mutually
agreed upon. II the proposal is
found to be acceptable, formal
invitations for such a confer
ence will be issued.
1T is manifest that the ques-
ton of limitation of Armament
has a close relation to Pacific
and Far Eastern problems ano
the President has suggested that
the powers especially interest
ed in these problems should un-
dertake in connection with this
conference the consideration of
all matters bearing upon their
solution with a view to reaching
a r0mnOn nnderSfa pdin. u-f, \

LITTLE PROSPECT
OF 6. 0. P. SPLITS
ON TARIFF DUTIES
Few, If Any, Republicans
In House Expected to
Oppose Act.

While stir fights aye in prospect
over several features of the Ford
ney tariff bill, prospects now are
that few il any Republicans will
vote against il on final passage in
the House. The contests over the
five paragraphs specified in the pro-
posed special rule will start on Fri
day. General debate. which already
has been in progress for two days
will be resumed today and will run
until Thursday night. The special
rule, which was approved Saturday
by the Rules Committee and pro-
vides for a final vote on July 81
will be presented to the House to-
morrow.
While the Democrats are center
ing their fire on the American val
uation plan incorporated in the bill
this feature probably will not be
subject to many attacks from the
Republican side.
Depend on Senate.
Although importers generally are
against the American valuation
plan, they have failed to stir UP
sufficient adverse sentiment among
House Republicans to cause the par
ty caucus to arrange for a special
vote on that provision on the floor
The importers have recognized that
it was useless to fight the propo-
sition in the House, but are count
ing on different action by the Sem
ate Finance Committee.
The expectation is that two or
three of the amendments to be pro-
posed on the floor will be adopted
The five subjects on which the Re-
publican caucus ordered special
votes are hides, dyestuffs, oils, cot
ton and asphalt.
The agricultural interests are
strongly in favor OF a duty on hides.
which, as well as shoes and
leather. have been left on the free
list. I'm view of the predominance
of the agricultural element in the
House, it is considered probable
such a duty will be imposed. If it
is. compensatory duties will be i'm
posed on shoes and leather
The fight over the limited en-
barge on imports of dyes will be
one of the most bitter of the de-
bate.
Elimination of the duties on crude
petroleum and fuel oil by the House
Is regarded as likely. The duties
provided are 35 cents per barrel
on crude petroleum and 25 cents
per barrel on fuel OIL Up to the
day the bill was introduced, il was
on the free list, but a change in
the Votes of two of the members
of the committee enabled the ad-
vocates of a duty to win out.
