TARIFF STRUGGLE
OCCUPIES SENATE

WASHINGTON, May 81 AL
though the question still is open, it
became increasingly probable after
a conference today Of Republican
senators that the move to invoke
cloture during consideration OF the
tariff bill would be unsuccessful.
With the Democrats regarded as
solidly against the proposal, an in
formal canvas on the Republican
side, leaders said, showed that
sufficient number of Republicans
were in opposition to defeat cloture
rure in connection with the tariff.
The uphill fight of the cloture ad-
vocates continued in the face OF this
apparent situation. Failing to OBJ
tain a party decision at today's con-
ference in favor Of a cloture rule
they circulated ''round robin" Tor
signatures to a statement placing
senators behind the cloture move
caent, but leaving to- the Republican
conference the time it should be
sSsought forth. A score of senators
were reported as having signed the
sesition, which probably will be pre-
.cated a. = third party conference
s<Srled for next Wednesday.
While the cloture fight continued
under the surface, the senate re-
sumed it's struggle with the tariff
bill, disposing of committee amend
ments to one paragraph, that deal-
ing with duties on steel wire and
wire rope. The Democrats, Joined
at times by some Republicans, made
q strenuous fight against the in
creases proposed, but without sue
cess. The committee, however, re-
coded from all of it's original recon-
mendations, cutting the rates pro-
posed, and Senator McCumber, Re-
publican, North Dakota, in charge
of the bill, intimated that some fur
Their reductions might be proposed
when the senate took up this para
graph for a final vote after commit
tee amendments in the entire bill
have been disposed Of.
On steel wire valued at above six
cents a pound, and or all other steel
wire not specially provided for, the
senate approved a duty of 25 per
cent ad valorem as compared to
the house rate of 20 per cent on
the basis of American valuation,
and a rate of IS per cent originally
proposed by the committee. On in
sulated telegraph and telephone wire
and other wires and cables the sem
ate approved a rate Of IS per cent
in place of the house rate of 80 per
cent and the original committee
duty of 40 per cent. A similar rate
on steel wire rope also was ap-
proved.
Democratic senator's, who in
cluded Underwood, Alabama; Sim
mons, North Carolina; Robinson, Ar
kansas, Hitchcock, Nebraska, and
Walsh, Montana, argued that the
rates proposed were too high; that
the United States exported far more
of the materials than it imported,
and that the duties proposed would
be an unnecessary burden on the
consumers of such wire. Senators
McCumber and Smoot, Republican,
Utah, defended the rates generally.

How to Destroy
Boil Weevil Told
At Athens Meeting

ATHENS, Ca, May 27.-More
than five hundred farmers, repre-
senting nearly every county in
northeast Georgia, saw the moving
picture demonstration of boil weevil
destruction at the State College of
Agriculture this week. F. c. Ward,
boil weevil expert of the college,
1ectured to the farmers, explaining
the various steps in the picture.
The life of the weevil was shown
from the time he breeds until the
irate farmer sends him west" with
the aid of calcium arsenate, the
chemical which the government has
found is one of the pest ways to
destroy the pest.
A carload of calcium arsenate will
arrive in Athens Saturday. This
car will be brought over the Geor.
gia road and is being sent out by
the state department of entomology
in order that the farmers may buy
the chemical in small lots without
paying freight charges. County
Agent Jones Purcell urged all those
who have not bought calcium arsen-
ate to be here Saturday and get
some.
Oconee county sent possibly the
largest delegation to the DOLL weevil
meeting. Over seventy-five farmers
were here from that county. Inter
est in learning all they can about
destroying the weevil was evinccG
by the farmers an1 many questions
were asked Professor Ward.
The farmers were invited here by
the Athens Chamber of Commerce
and local bankers. The picture was
furnished by the United States de-
partment of agriculture.

TREASURY TO|SSUE
SHORT-TERM NOTES

WASHINGTON, May 27.-With
obligations totaling $775,OoO,oOo ma
turing on June fifteenth, the treas
ury department tonight prepared
plans for the greatest financing pro
gram since the war.
Announcement of the financing
plans probably will be made early
next week.
There is no money in the treasury
now which can be used to meet the
June Is obligations.
The financing program will likely
call for the issuance of at least
two series of new treasury short
term notes, at an interest rate prob
ably as low as IL per cent. There
will be in addition, one or more OF
ferings Of treasury certificates OF
Indebtedness at the same rate.
The treasury has a cash balance
in the general fund, or will have
about June Is, of upward of one
hundred million dollars. but all OF
this is not in disable cash. Then, too
the general fund must be conserved
to meet current payments for the
operation of the government.
Tax payments are due June 10.
They will bring in between $250,000,'
900 and $500, 100000, leaving bal
ance of approximately 100000, 00o
to be raised by financing.
The maturities to be met from
taxes and from borrowings include
$3.50 100000 treasury certificates of
Indebtedness; $27O,O00,000 of Victory
ga per cent notes, which have been
called for redemption, and $125,000,.
900 to pay interest due on first and
second Liberty bonds.
A new series of certificates Of in
debtedness will be offered June /, for
100000. These certificates are
to pay but 3 1-2 per cent interest.
The funds brought in will be used
for Victory note redemptions, which
are already being made by federal
reserve banks at the option of hold
ers.
The federal reserve board has
advised the treasury that already
mole than $500, 100000 of the Vic

BRITISH LOSING HOPE

LONDON May 27.-British pub

land. Where it was hopeful that
there could be arranged a settle

now is leaning to the view that the
country cannot reconcile it's differ
encess
When T last wrote Of Ireland I
believed that the provisional gov
eminent would get a firm hold OF
the situation. I expected that it
would be able to furnish the Irish
people every right freely to express
their view about the treaty signed
in London.
In Ireland it always is the unex-
pected that happens. Collins and
Griffith seem to have made impor-
tant concessions to De Valera. An
agreement has been reached under
which the Dali and Sim Fem will
install a new Dial and form a coal-
ton government in which the De
Valera sections will be represented
on a basis of existing strength. 1t
apparently is contemplated that
the new Dali shall be replica of
the old for it expressly is stipulated
that if, in any constituency, there is
no election, the present sitting
member shall be continued. This
new agreement seems to me to be
a breach of the agreement to get
the will of the Irish people on the
treaty of London. The will of the
Irish people I think enters but lit
tie into the considerations Of the
leaders at this time.
It may be, as Collins has said,
that the main consideration in
mind, was the. need for effective
government There certainly is a
crying need for such govern
ment. Every one here would be
glad if the new combination would
deal faithfully with crime but the
events to date seem to me to fur
nish little ground for such. hope.
The new move in Dublin synchron'
lied with an outbreak of barbarism
in Ulster.
1t was on a bigger scale and more
effectively organized than any out
break of which we had previous
knowledge. Places of historic in
terest have been burned down and
the Belfast street fighting has as
sumed almost battle proportions.
These events naturally goaded the
Ulster government to drastic ac-
ton. The plea of reprisals on &C.
casions of outrage has been for
warded constantly by both Catholics
and Protestants but these pleas
clearly are out of court.
The British government took
great risks .in withdrawing British
forces ard also in recasting recent
legislation to meet Irish wishes.
Forgetfulress and good will was
sought by offers and action based
on such considerations. But there
has been little response up to the

WALLS ABOUT PARIS

Chicago Daily News-Copyright 1929
PARIS, May 27. Now that the
walls of Paris are being demolished
as a result of the effort to trans
form the French capital from fortl-
fed camp to an open city, agitation
has begun to incorporate within the
metropolis, the suburbs lying con-
tiguous to the old gates. Last week
at a celebration staged in the Hotel
De Vile, the mayors from the sur
rounding towns were urged to work
for annexation. Early in June the
council of the departments of the
Seine will discuss a demand made
by the commune of Boulogne on its
own initiative for admission to the
city.
To-day the corporation of Paris
possesses only 100000 inhabitants,
said August Marin, president OF the
county council today, "but it ought
to have 100000. Greater Paris al
ready counts that many. Before
long we hope to incorporate In one
municipality the whole department
Of the Seine, raising Paris to the
rank Of the third largest city in the
world. Today she comes after CHI
cago and Toxic, but soon she Will
take a place directly after London.
"The destruction Of the fortitlca-
lions removes the last reason why
Paris should remain cramped within
her present limits. Congestion IS
bad for sanitation and comfort. In
general, both the suburbs and the
city desire annexation. Increased
taxes for towns like st. Denis and
st. Cloud, would be offset by i'm
proved conditions in transportation
and the distribution of food supplies.

BONUS JEOPARD|ZES
RECLAMAT BILL

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Advo-
Gates of a national plan # land
reclamation fear it is in danger of
being sidetracked into the soldier
bonus bill.
In the great public land states
Of the west pal ticularly, feeling is
high because word has been carried
there that some members of con-
gress want to dispose of the whole
reclamation subject by including in
the bonus measure a provision for
land settlement and reclamation for
ex-service men.
That, reclamation advocates de-
clare, would defeat for the present
and delay for years to come any
adequate treatment of the question
in a national way by congress.
-Ceclamationists are building a
fire under Representative Mondell,
Wyoming, who is blamed by some
for trying to head off the Smith
McNary reclamation bill. establish
ing a definite national policy for
making available more lands in the
west and south.
Mr.. Mondell is scheduled to APP
pear soon before a subcommittee of
the finance committee to urge that
the reclamation and land settlement
feature of the house bonus bill be
included in the senate measure.
Mr.. Mondell, according to some
of hi, western critics. has been pre-
venting house consideration of the
SmithMcNary bill. Recently a
group of western Republican editors,
meeting in Yakima, Wash, adopted
resolutions declaring they would
not in future feel bound to support
the Republican party nationally I'M
less some action was taken prompt
! on the reclamation measure.
Criticism of Mr.. M.ndell is I'M
justified, Senator McNary, joint
author of the bill, said today. Sena-
t McNary said Mr.. Mondell has
held back on the Smith-McNary
measure until it became apparent
whether the bonus bill was to con-
tain a reclamation provision.
If such a provision is inserted in
tie bonus measure it will be i'm
possible to get congressional ap
prevail for another reclaim. ion plan
it is generally believed. There
would be one plan soley for ex
service men and another general
plan. That. it is admitted, would
mean confusion, extra expense in
administration and confusion gen
orally.
