London, May 1.-THE defeat of the
government in the House Of Commons
last night on question of minor i'm
portance caused exc tement and ami
nation in parliamentary lobbies out
OF all proportion to the amount Of
money or principle involved
The defeat of the government was
brought about not on the actual ques-
tion of whether teachers should con-
tribute five per cent Of their salaries
to the superannuation fund, which
would mean a saving to the govern
ment Of less than 2,5OO,000 pounds
sterling yearly, but on Lord Robert
Cecils motion to adjourn the debate.
Mr. Chamberlain n resisting this mo
ton was warned by many Of the min
isterial party that they would vote
against him but he declined TO bulge.
The Die-Hards, Laboritej and Asquith
ian Liberals went sol.dly with the op'
position
Sir Eric Geddes' recommended on
cutting the educational rates has al
ways been the dangerous grounds for
the government. but although the AS
quithians and Laborites freely accused
the teachers, II seemed needless for
the government to take the stand 1t
did against Lord Roberts motion. The
balance of opinion, however. Is that
the government VII not resign.
The defeat was the third the gov
ernment has met within the course Of
its parliamentary career, and the more

Altogether, coming after the refusal
of the United States TO accept the in
vitation to attend The Hague confer
ence and the apparent collapse OF the
Genoa conference, it was generally re
garded among the members of the
House Of Commons that this was a
bad day for Premier Lloyd George.

AMERICAN VALUATION
SCORED BY CAPPER
Kansas Senator Says II Is Plan to
Conceal High
Protection

Washington, May 17.-Senator Ar
thur Capper OF Kansas, leader of the
farm bloc" in speech in the SEN
ate yesterday, attacked the forces in
Congress seeking the adoption of the
American valuation plan as basis
for writing the tariff bill.
Capper charges that these forces
desire this system because 1t would
complicate and confuse the issue; be-
cause they believe that by this sys'
TEN they can conceal from the Amer
ican people the extent to which they
desire to raise the rates. They admit
that they are seeking rates so high
as to be unpopular; that they are
endeavoring not to represent the will
of the people, but to fool the people.
"If American valuation is to be
used as a method of concealing un-
due increases in protecting rates, II
becomes clearly bunco game at the
expense of the farmer,
Capper declared that incorporation
of the American valuation plan in the
present tariff bill would have the
same economic and political effect as
did the concealed protection in the
compensatory duties Of schedule K OF
Payne.Aldrich act.
ut would almost certainly conceal
an excessive amount of protection
which would be difficult to defend,
said Capper.
Capper said that another objection
to American valuation from the
farmers standpoint was that IL would
by high tariff wall, limit the ex
portation of agricultural products II
exchange for the manufactured prod
ducts of other countries,

for a meeting at The Hague to dis
cuss the Russian situation, it was
announced this morning.
In presenting their acceptance, the
Russians proposed certain modihca-
t!ons in the origna plan which VIII
be discussed at meeting this after
noon.
Genoa, May 17.-Further appeals
probably will be made to the United
States by the allied powers in an en-
deavor to induce that country to take
part in the meeting of the commission
of experts at The Hague on June 10.
The inviting powers England, Japan
France, Italy and Belgium, held a
meeting this afternoon to consider the
matter further.
The French delegates are anxious
to have the closing plenary session
OF the economiIconference on Thurs
day, but this is considered impossi
BILE, as there is no disposition to hurry
the Ru slams in making their final re-
ply regarding The Hague conference
and 1t seems likely that the closing
session will not be held before Sat
urday or Monday,
The inviting powers decided that
the eastern Galician and Lithuanian
boundary question would not be con
sidered at this time. Mr.. Lloyd
George declared that the two ques
tions were a great source OF danger
to Europe; one could not say whether
there might be trouble tn s year OF
next but the questions must be treat
ed eventually although 1t was mad
yisable TO press consideration now
as there was the probability OF
truce.
He hoped the Lithuania question
which had been referred to the
League OF Nations would be taken
in hand by that body.
Hungary and Bulgaria were permit
ted to present petitions for better
treatment of minorities Bulgaria
was not permitted to submit state
ment pleading for port on th'
Aegean Sea. as it was held that this
was question for consideration b!
the cignatories of the treaty o
Neuilly.
The powers decided to have tn
conference make an urgent appea
to Europe to support the anti ep'
demic campa' gn. Appeal to MAKE
the Red Cross the Official machiner
for dealing with the famine and epl
denies was deemed not a prope
matter for the conference to consider
and was referred to the League o
Nations.
NJ. Tchitcherin's clash with Wis
count Ishii at the morning session
attracted much attention and ther
is some speculation as to whether
will be continued when the sam
mmission reassembles with tn
Russians today. Tchitcherin issue
a statement SETTING forth his side o
the controversy, which was provoke
by his declaration that Russia neve
would permit the Far Eastern reput
lie TO be converted INTO Japanes
colony and that Russia would protec

After viscount Ishii had declare
that only states invited to Geno
could participate in the conferenc
and that Japan was forced to kee
troops in Siberia to protect herseI
against massacres, such as had OF
