LADY ASTO IS

LRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK. April 49, Nancy
Langhorne Astor, the Virginia CIR
who married a British nobleman, be-
came the mother of six children and
afterward won the first seat in the
house of commons ever held by a
woman. came back to America today
for a short visit
First she chatted lightly on a
dozen topics and then tonight she
spoke seriously on women, urging
every woman to enter politics.
The beauty for which Lady Astor
was famed in her debutante days in
Virginia as Nanny Langhorne, is
still part Of her charm. She seemed
quite young today and happy. She
smiled and winked and spoke with
the accent of the south, though it has
been eight years since she visited
there.
The gathering Of men and women
who crowded Town Hall to hear her
speech tonight cheered with a fer
vor that bespoke their admiration for
Lady Astor's achievements. Pre-
ceding her to the platform was Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait, American suf-
fragette leader.
Lord Astor accompanied his
american vile If0in England on the
Olympic and he will go with her to
Baltimore. where later this week she
is to take a prominent part in the
international conference of the
League of Women Voters
It was Lord Astor, said Lady AS
tor tonight who started her on this
downward career from home to the
house" Her husband, she explained,
was a born social reformer. but he
had avoided the pitfalI of thinking
one can right wrongs with philan-
thropy. He realized that one must
go to the bottom of the wrongs and
50 for II years at Plymouth. she had
hund out the wrongs, and he had
tried to right them.
One sex cannot govern another,
Lady Astor declared. She believed
one CT the reasons civilization had
failed so lamentably was that it has
had one sided government.
Don't let us make the mistake of
ever allowing that to happen again, .
she said II can conceive of nothing
worse than a man governed world,
except woman governed world. but
can see the combinatiAn of the two
going forward and making civiliza-
ton more worthy the name of civili-
zation. based on Christianity, not
force, a civilization based on justice
and mercy. Iefeel men have a greater
sense of justice and we of mercy.
They must borrow our mercy and
we must use their justice

Republican of North Dakota, who is
to have charge of it. the program foi
its consideration was tonight some
what indefinite.
Senator McCunber was returning
tonight from his home in North Da
kota and planned TO be on hand in
time to pilot the bills course from
the outset. Some senators on the
finance committee hoped that the
usual reading of the measure could
be dispensed with. but since this
would require unanimous consent,
they We're not very optimistic.
If the reading or the 440-page doc
ument is insisted upon there win not
be much more than that accom-

over, or dispensed with. the usual
procedure would be for Mr.. McCum-
Der to make the opening address, ex-
planning the work of his committee
majority. Generally. on a bill of this
magnitude, there would be two or
three weeks of general debate, but
the practice in this case may be dis
carded.
Senator Simmons Of North Caro-

morrow. He will open the general
Democratic onslaught ON the meas

he will speak.
II the general debate should be
dispensed with. the order would be
for the measure to be taken up for
amendments with the chemical
schedule the first given considera-
tion. There are to be assaults gem
orally on the rates and some idea of
the time the senate win be engaged
on the bill can be gained when it is
borne in mind that the senate COM
mittee made more than 1000 amend
ments to the house bill. Republican
senators of the agricultural tariff
bloc, held another session today, dis
cussing rates in which they are in
terested.
senator Goodlng OF Idaho, chair
man, declared the bloc stood by the
original rates asked of the finance
committee. He said they would seek
a conference with the committee ma
jority in the hope that the increases
in rates they seek could be presented
in the form OF committee amend
ments.
Rates on sugar were discussed at
some length by the bloc. but final
decision was postponed The house
rates adopted by the committee are
not satisfactory. the bloc having
asked for duty of two and half
cents a pound on full duty sugar and
two cents on Cuban. A decision as
to manganese ore which the com
mittee placed on the free list also
went over.
Senator Calder OF New York, Re-
publican member of the finance COM
mittee, issued a formal statement
today on the tariff measure declaring
it has been written, not in the in

Corn planting, the review said, in
the central districts was practically at

Unseasonably low temperatures ex-
perienced from the Rocky mountains
westward did considerable damage to
fruit bloom. Apricots, almonds and
grapes suffered severely in California

was done in Arizona and Utah and

OF the application of the railroads for

attorney for the intermediate Traffic

application in wool case except
that fourth section departures
hereunder shall not increase the
existing disparities against in

Threatened Phoenix Life
The application for fourth section
relief, Docket No. 1908. was filed
nearly a year ago by r. III. Countiss
for the transcontinentaI railroads. in
volving practically all of the rail-
=
covered a large number of westbound
commodities on which it was pro-
posed to reduce rates to meet Panama
canal competition, without changing
the rates to intermediate points
Thus, for instance. it was proposed to
put in rate of $1.30 on canned goods
to Pacific terminals. against the pres
ent rate OF $685., leaving the latter
rate in effect to intermediate points.
The application was a proposal for
the re-opening of the intermountain
case of March, 1918, in which it was
held that the water competition at
Pacific points was only potential. The
railroads claimed that it was now a
fact and would have to be met.
The movement in opposition was
first taken up by Mr.. Johnson for the
chamber of commerce of Phoenix who
invited in the other members of the
intermediate Rate association which
was well represented at the hearing
at Chicago last November. A series
of hearings were held by Mr.. Disque

.RAP PA[LO PACT DIRECT
VIOLATION Of TREATY
OF VERSAILLES, BELIEF

PARIS, April 9.-The treaty be-
tween Germany and Russia, signed
at Rapallo last Sunday, probably will
be formally placed before the repara-
tions commission next Friday when
the commission will begin an inquiry
to determine whether the agreement
conflicts with the treaty of Yer
sailleS.
In commission circles this evening
it was pointed out that the commits
sion probably would decide that the
Rapallo pact was in direct coatra-
diction of article 24S of the yer-
sailles treaty. This article in effect
gives the commission first lien on all
assets of the German empire.
While the members of the commits :
sion RETAINED from formally COM
menting upon the agreement, the
general feeling was that the agree
ment ought to have been submitted
to the commission for approval. It
was considered probable that the
commission would demand in a note
to the German government. submits
sion of the treaty.
It has been suggested by some ex-
perts that the Rapallo agreement
might prove a good thing. in that it
might increase the paying capacity
of Germany but from political
standpoint the effect of its signing
was considered as very bad. On the
other hand. it has been pointed out
that Germany. under the treaty with
Russia, gives UP reparation claims OF
between 100000 and 20.000.0 900 gold
marks against Russia, thereby re-
ducing her paying capacity by that
amount. The latter view is said to
be the one largely held by members
of the commission.
Polish representatives have pro-
tested against the Russo German
treaty on the ground that part of
Poland which was included in the
old Russian empire has a substantial
share in the Russian claim against

Seek Compromise With The
Entente Powers Where
by They Can Retain
Russo German Treaty
[RepubIIean a. ?. leased wire.

GENOA, April 19-The German
delegates and experts have not yet
been able to find formula whereby
to compromise with the entente pow
ers, without sacrificing the Russo
German treaty, although they were
in session at very late hour to-
night, Efforts are being made to
have the conference formulate Rus
sian policy in which the Russo Ger
man treaty can be absorbed, thus
giving it the stamp of conference ap-
proval and removing the cause of
hard feeling.
The plain language OF Premier
Lloyd George to the German states
men today over the treaty incident,
which at one time threatened to dis
rupt the economic conference, was
believed to have cleared the polit-
icai atmosphere, but as neither the
German reply to the allies nor the
Russian reply regarding acceptance
of the conditions for the restoration
of Russia was forthcoming, the sit
uation is still considered critical.
Some of the neutrals described the
Germans as embarrassed as how to
find a way out of the difficulty.
Meantime the work of the confer
ence is blocked The neutral states
have officially insisted that the
agenda OF the conference be dis
cussed in the commissions and not
in private conversations among the
chief delegates.
1t is expected that once the Russo
German controversy is disposed OF,
the machinery Of the conference will
resume operations. The announce
ment that ]. r Morgan win join the
group of bankers TO discuss the pos
sibility OF floating an international
loan for Germany has created an OPP
timistic feeling for the future III
nances Of Europe.
NJ. Barthou of the French delega
ton, tonight confirmed that Premier
Lloyd George had adopted a strong
attitude at today's meeting with the
German foreign minister, DR.. Ra-
thenau.
M. Marthou, who is kept closely
as TO what Mr. Lloyd
George is doing, said there was no
room for equivocation on the part
Of Germany: there was no middle
course. If the Germans insisted on
the treaty the French
could not deal with them on any Of
the commissions concerning Russia

between France and England on the
