der the Underwood law rates.


 Senator Smoot, of Utah, ranking Re publican on the finance committee, de- fendGd the cotton schedule, declaring that the average of the rate was not above the average in the Underwood law, though some were higher. Others he added, were lower He said the committee majority still was working on the schedule and would bring in new amendments, and at the proper time he would present an analysis of the schedule to the senate.
 Returning to his Attack, Senator La Toilette expressed the wish that sen- ators would consider the tariff bill as owners of stock in cotton mills, wool en mills and other industries, but as representatives of the people, giving attention to the effect of the rates on the consumers. If this were not done, he warned. sooner or later, all the present senators would be removed 'in revolutionary way-by the ballot box, of course.'
 Before the vote on cloture, Senator Watson of Indiana, delivered a wig crous address in support of tn ecloture motion, charging that the Democrats WCAt ciA lliibuShNl so as to prevent passage of the bill until just before the November cleo tions, without time being given either for the effects of it's operation to be felt, or for the Republicans to explain it adequately to the country.
 Senator Watson declared the ques- tion at issue was whether the senate was to function, whether the party which came into power with a major ity of 100000 votes wos to keep its pledge to the people that the tariff woud be revised.
 After the cloture question had been disposed of, and before Senator La Toilette began his three-hour attack on the bill, the senate disposed of a number of committee amendments re- lating to duties on fish, and also voted to place on the free list black and silver foxes brought into the country for other purposes would be dutiable at 15 per cent ad valorem.

 Exactly" replied M. Litvinoff
 Sir Phillip then asked:
 Can you not give an approximate estimate of the proportion of property under foreign ownership?"
 Litvinoff replied:
 My answer to that is that, first, we must agree as to what foreign own ership means"
 NJ. CGttier said: We understand then, there is no question of restitution to the actual proprietor. and that Russia will grant concessions to any foreign capitalist who is ready to invest money aud not necessarily to a former owner"
 To this the Russian spokesman made the answer: We do not go back on what we said at Genoa, namely, that the first option or concession, would be offered to former owners"
