ALLIED COUNCIL IN
ACCORD ON GERMAN
MONEY PAYMENTS
Irish Recognition
B0bs Up in House
in Indirect Form

Washington. Jan. 2S.-Indirect re-
cognition Of the republic of Ireland
was knocked out the House today on
a point of order.
During consideration of the diplo-
matte appropriation bill representa-
tive Mason. Republican, Illinois, a
member of the foreign affairs COM
mittee, offered an amendment provid
ing a salary of $4,000 for a minister
to Ireland. Instantly half a dozen
representatives were on their feet.
Chairman Rogers of the sub com
mittee of appropriations in charge of
the bill, challenged the right of the
House to include such an amendment
on the ground that it was without
authority of law and there had been
no executive recognition of Ireland.
Before the point was sustained by
Representative Towner, Republican,
Iowa, presiding, Mr.. Mason declared
that the question of policy with re-
spect to Ireland should be determined
by Congress on it's merits and not on
a parliamentary point as the appro-
priation, if authorized, would not be
available until July.
Representative Connally, Democrat,
Texas, also u member of the foreign
affairs committee, asked if Mr.. Mason
had any indication or assurance that
Mr. Harding would designate a min
lister.
II have no promises. but I have
hopes" Mr.. Mason replied. 1--WE all
l.
son is not inclined to favor recogni-
ton"
While the fight to prevent author
ization Of salaries for ministers to
Finland and to the country of the
Serbs, Croats and Slovepes, failed,
the chair sustained a point of order
on the section which sought to re-
duce the embassy in Turkey to a le-
CATION. Ministers to Czechoslovakia
and Poland, eliminated yesterday
from the $4,000 salary rank, were
put back with ministers in the $4,000
class. The bill, as amended on the
floor, fixed a salary of $4,000 for an
ambassador to Turkey instead OF
$17,500, the normal figure.
With final disposal of the ambas-
sador and minister sections, the at
tack was renewed on other provi-
sions. An effort to cut the item OF
$500 for a Japanese secretary at the
embassy at Toxic, prompted Chair
man Rogers to declare that it was
the most important In the bill. Ex-
pressing similar views concerning
Chinese secretary at Picking, Mi.
Rogers said, 1.-The course of history
was apt to depend upon these two po-
sitions."
The bill was shot at all day partly
as the outcropping of opposition OF
Republicans and Democrats alike to
preparing appropriation measures
under the so-called budget system
Working constantly was interrupted
until finally Representative Walsh,
Republican, Massachusetts. jumped
into the fray with the charge that ell
forts were being made to block emer-
gency legislation.
Before taking up salary items Tor
the consular service. Chairman Rog-
ers explained that many of them were
subject to points of order, but gave
warning that the service especially IN
China and Japan would be seriously
crippled by their elimination. Inc
House adjourned however. before at
tack could he opened on the items.

HOOVER MUM
ON CABINET BERTH

Columbus, Ohio. Jan. 2S-Asser-
tions that the United States 'is not
setting up a particularly worthy ex-
ample in it's program of greater
armament" were made here today by
Herbert Hoover head of the move
ment to help starving children in
Europe.
The former food administrator de-
clared he saw mo reason why the
United States should cancel the war
debts of the allied nations when they
are spending more for armament
than it would take to pay the prin-
cipal and interest of their debts.'
Mr.. Hoover said he could not dis
cuss the rumor that he was to have
a place in Presidential Harding's
cabinet without putting someone in
difficulty"

Toxic, Jan. 27-(By the Associated
Press)-The Japanese answer to the
note of the United States government
concerning the recent killing of Lieu
vostok, has been forwarded to Wash
ington.
here the reply does not discuss the
question of Japanese occupation Of ST.
IBERIA 1t reiterates the regret of the
government over the shooting of Lieu
tenant Langdon, which has already
been voiced by its official representa-
tives in Vladivostok and Washington.
and calls attention to the measures al
ready adopted to prevent the recurrence
of such an unfortunate incident. The
communication emphasizes the COM
pleteness and impartiality of the inves-
tigation into the shooting now in pro-
gless, which 1t says will be followed by
such reparation as the circumstances
call for.
Although the shooting of Lieutenant
Langdon was an Outgrowth Of the pres
ence Of Japanese troops in Vladivostok,
the Japanese apparently think it should
be treated as separate and distinct
question not connected with Japans
policy with regard to Russia.
The authorities today denied the
statement published yesterday by the
Asahi Shimbun to the effect that the
police had decided to exercise greater
surveillance over American visitors to
Japan, who, the newspaper asserted,
were ''busily engaged in investigating
Industrial and military conditions.
American visitors, the authorities de-
ciared were welcome in Japan and
would not be molested. They explained
that such surveillance over foreigners
as exists is due to the desire OF the
police to keep out Bolshevists.

Washington, Jan. 2s.-Considera
ton of the Fordney emergency tariff
bill was delayed in the Senate again
today and new rocks appeared in its
path.
With filibustering openly charged,
leaders of both sides declared that
the chances OF the measure coming
to vote in this session were grad
ually growing less Another session
of varied discussion is scheduled for
tomorrow but it is planned now to
turn to the big appropriations when
the Senate conveneS Monday Once
the tariff legislation is displaced. ad-
vocates of the bill admit it will be
difficult to get it up for consideration
again.
The consideration given the tariff
at today's session consisted of a
speech by Senator King, Democrat,
Utah, on Russian trade, which oc-
cupied almost the entire afternoon
and cnotained only occasional refer
ences to tariff matters and brief ex-
changes concerning the meaning of
Senator Penrose's cloture petition
which was circulated yesterday
Theopen charge of filibustering was
made by Senator Ashurst, Democrat,
Arizona, following a colloquy between
Senator Thomas, Democrat, Colorado,
and Senator Penrose relative to 'in-
situations" of a filibuster. Mr.. Pen
rose assured Mr. Thomas that he had
not intended by circulation his petit
ti6n to insinuate that filibuster had
been organized.
Senator King then began the
speech on Russian trade but was in
terrupted by Senator McCumber Re-
publican, North Dakota, who sug-
gested that the tariff was the subject
technically before the Senate. The
latter mentioned the references made
to a filibuster and Mr. Ashurst broke
in with the exclamation:
IT do not insinuate that there is a
filibuster I charge it,"
The accusation however, failed to
interfere with Mr.. Kings speech and
for more than four hours he discuss
ed Russia, it's government, its people,
its trade and internal conditions and
prospects of establishment of per-
maaent republic. His discussion
thereafter was interrupted only when
Senator France, Republican, Mary
land. engaged with him in a debate
over actions of the Soviet govern
ment.
Whenthe Senate recessed Senator
King announced that he had much
more to say tomorrow and it was I'M
derstood also that severed other SEN
ators were preparing to speak on
subjects not closely related to tariff
questions. This prospect was. said by
leaders to mean the. Fastening of ac-
ton on the plan to lay aside the
Fordney bill and dispose of the money
measures which have come over from
the House.

Washington, Jan. 2S-New England
railroads were offered but refused a
gift" of $12,OOO,0O0 from trunk line
executives to protect the formers
credit, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission was told today by w. H. Will
liams, chairman of the Wabash Rail-
road, testifying at hearings on a re-
division of joint freight rates between
carriers east and west of the Hudson
river.
Mr.. Williams said the New England
carriers turned down the offer on the
ground that it would not meet their
needs.
Mr.. Williams said that he, with
Presidents Rea of the PENNSYLVANIA
and Maher of the Norfolk and West
ern, representing the lines west of the
Hudson river, had conferred with
Presidents Pearson of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford and Hus-
tbs, of the Boston and Maine, with an
idea of effecting an immediate set
tlement of the differences. The con-
ference, he testified. was held with a
view of giving the lines for one year
$12, 0000 900 in the hope that they could
arrange in other ways thereafter to
finance the yearly deficit shown on
the books. The stipulation was made
by the trunk lines, he said, that the
gift would have to be approved by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. Another stipulation, he said was
that the gift would not impair the
rights of the trunk lines to fight the
application of the New England car
riers for a re-division of rates.
The meeting of trunk lines eXecu-
tives in New York to discuss the New
England situation has been set for
Tuesday afternoon, it was stated to-
day. Various proposals to pool the
interests of the trunk lines and other
ways of settling the case ending be-
fore the federal commission will be
discussed

Western S,~,p.er uuion New, s.rie.l


nshington-Federa investigation
of retail prices charged in various
parts of the country for food, fuel,
shoes and clothing has been initiated
by Attorney General Daugherty. He
ordered Director Burns of the bureau
OF investigation Of the Justice depart
ment to assign men at once to obtain
Ing data on retail prices.
Mr.. Daugherty declared prices OF
necessities were too high and that In
some instances profits of retailers
we're "unconscionable." 1t would new
er be possible, he asserted, to get
prices down to the prewar level, but
with wages lowered and the costs OF
foodstuffs reduced, he was determined
to learn whether the present badly
proportioned" retail prices should be
maintained.
Mr.. Burns was instructed also to
have his men obtain the variations In
various localities in the retail prices
of general foodstuffs, such as meats,
provisions, beans, bread and butter,
fuel, shoes and clothing, and to make
schedules. Reports will also be gath
cred on the wholesale prices of wheat,
beef and meats in order, Mr.. Daugher-
ty explained, that comparisons might
be made of the costs of these commod-
tiles with the retail prices.
Action TO remedy price conditions,
Mr.. Daugherty declared, would be TAX
en- through several channels. In the
main. he said, the situation was local
one and thes tates would be asked to
aid. Secretary Hoover, he added,
would be invited TO join in the effort
to lower prices, while 1t was believed
that the publication of the cOmpara-
tive wholesale and retail prices would
do much to remedy hfgn prices.
Organizations of retailers in differ
ent parts of the country were blamed
by Mr.. Daugherty for high prices.
These associations, he declared, were
formed "by smart men who sold a
scheme to defeat the laws by perfect
ing an organization for fixing prices
which concealed its real purpose under
a declaration of desire to help COM
petition"
The department, he stated, intends
to "get these smart fellows" while at
the same time recognizing that many
innocent merchants had been imposed
on by them. He declared himself in
favor of trade organizations which
confined operations to improving their
services, but he asserted they would
not be allowed TO fix prices or appor-
ton territory among their members,
thus sitting competition.
Trade associations generally, he
said, were showing a commendable
willingness to confine activities to the
lines suggested by the Justice Depart
ment as in conformity with the law,
but where the departments advice
had been disregarded it had been ne
cessary to institute proceedings under
the Sherman antitrust act.
The decision of the Supreme Court
in the hardwood case, which defined
the general scope of activities of
trade associations, he added, would do
much to remove uncertainty as to the
exact application of the law to the ac-
tivities of trade associations and would
enable accurate definition of what
practices were legal and which illegal
