WASillNGTON. March 4 iFriday).
Efforts to ovcrrule President Will
sons veto Of the Fordncy emergency
tariff bill failed in the House early
this morning and the measure, orig
inaly designed to aid the farmers,
thereby met It's death.
The vote on the motion to pass the
measure over the PreSicLnt's veto
was 20i for and l32 against.
This was II votes less than the
necessary two-thirds.
The veto was called up and voted
Oh without discussion. There was
little expectation among Republicans
that they could round UP the two
thirds vote necessary to override
the veto, and IL was for this reason
that some leaders had urged Chair
man Fordney. OF the Ways and
Means Committee. to let it die on the
table without action.
Believing there was no chance OF
passing the emergency tariff bill over
the Presidents veto. House Repub-
leans. including members OF the
Ways and Means Committee. urged
leaders last night not to demand n
vote TO override II. Conferences "a
this end were under way at 9:45
o'clock. when the Clark memorial
service. which was TO last one hour
began.

conjecture.
The Hr!tisa version OF pr Simous
Icpis 10 Ar. Lloyd G,Ors. indicated
TIA, they would. He MAS quoted as
saying That tn. Germans would cx-

that their intention had been mis-
taken and that no occasion would
arise for employment o: the meas

tAe allies loricnt'on that tho se--
mans have failed 10 comply with the

DIR. Simons is in close consultation
with the other members OF the dele

Cabinet, and while some of the Ger.
mans continued to insist that they
could go no further towards meeting
the standpoint of the allies. the be-

Tfns Them TO do

The British Prime Minister'S pre-
scmtation OF the allies ease greatly
pleased the French. lie drew par
Illcl between German acton now and
az Frankfort in II. when the
treaty was based on the assumption
that France was in the wrong, and
Germany demanded not only repara-
tion. but payment by France OF the
whole cost of the war.
Until Germany accepts the position
that she Is responsible for the late
war and interprets her obligations
accordingly" said Mr.. Lloyd George,
these conferences will be futile.
He insisted however. that the allies
were not going so far in the matter
of payment as the Germans went
in 1871.
s The Genman delegates sat very
Jrigid and gave no expression to their
feelings throughout the speech. DR..

were no signs Of any part OF the
German delegation leaving London.

In delivering the allies ul;imatum
TO the German delegation, Premier
Lloyd George said:
we are not asking for the costs
OF the war. The charges on the
allies were so enormous it would
be impossible 10 ask n single country
to bear that. we simply have insisted
that Germany pay .reparations with
