RUSSIA TRIES AGAIN
England and Italy Insist Upon Con-
tinuance of Conference in Spite OF
French Protest

! Genoa. May 12.-After sitting for
five weeks it is uncertain whether the
Genoa Conference is Just beginning or
Just ending. The Russian reply, so
far from carrying things further,
throws the conference back. as the
Russians themselves declare, to a
worse position than when the te1ta-
! tive agreement was reached on the
, basis of the short document compiled
by the Allied powers three weeks ago.
Eager as France is to end every
thing and go home, Great Britain and
ltalv are determined TO hold on If the
smallest basis for continuance can be
found Their srst reaction to the Rus
sian document IS that that continuance
is possible. Since the Russians them
selves hold the same view a decision
to that effect seems likely.
But the difficulties of the situation
must not be underraCed. This was to
be an economic. financial conference,
political issues being introduced only
50 far as necessary in the interests OF
economic settlement. Now the nope
Of IN immediate economic settlement
with Russia has vanished. Under
those conditions. can political ques-
items. like the fyation OF the frontiers
Of Eastern Europe and veXed prob
lens ike Eastern Galicia and Litbu-
ania, properly be pursued? That is
what the French are certain TO ask
ard France will be supported by the
Little Entente and perhaps by some
neutral states.
llovd George always has declared
that the conclusion of Il non-aggres-
sion pact is an essential part of the
inference work and he evidently is
rot vet prepared to abandon his ppr-
pose Rarthou. on the other hand, SAID
SUNDAY that if the Russian question
was not settled q non-acgresslon pact
becomes impossible. Lloyd George
himself .lrnost admitted that. %.
If tic project does go forward there
will be an animated discussion OF its
form. for neither Germany, Russia
nor the neutrais are willing to sign n
nact that reasserts the treaties OF
Varsailles and ST. German. France,
Belgium and the Little Entente, on
the other hand, are unwilling to sign
pact that does rot reattirm the trea-
ties. Similarly Premier Benes, OF
Czecho-Slovakia. protests the saislnG
of such questions as Eastern Galicla,
for which proper procedures are pro-
vided in the treaties. and the French
take the Same view.
Altogether the future Of the confer
encc. if it's continuation Is decided
upon. promises TO be- checkered and
the prospect Of reapine anv subster-
tial harvest remote Il IS doubtful
whether the neutral states. who for
weeks have had little 10 do at Genoa.
will consent TO keen their representa-
tives here.
The balance sheet after five weeks
reads thus:
"Fiuancial. economic and TRANSPORT
commissions have completed their
work and presented reports on whose
value different estimates are SET; the
Russian negotiations are no further

started ey"ept for a proposal which

Here is the way Senator Simmons,
of North Carolina. ranking Democrat
on the Senate Finance Committee.
characterizes the Republican tariff
bill which is lust now occupying the
attention Of Senator's:
"Thc pending bill is not one for
protection but for the exploitation OF
the consuming masses of America.
While We desire to give serious
thought and study to it we are anx-
ious to have it passed before election
as we are sure the American people
will repudiate it and the party which
is responsible for it. Many of the
r&tes on farm products are mere
frauds and they will not yield the
farmers n dollar. Others are outrag-
oeusly high and OUGHT to be reduced
They are Just as obnoxious to me as
many other rates. If YOU would read
tho comment of thr newspapers on
this tariff bill it might prove to be
as LIGHT from Heaven to steer YOU
clear OF the shoals toward which YOU
seem now TO be bound"

REDUCTION UPON GOAL RATES
Say Cut Would Enable Coal , Operators to Enter This
 Field in Competition

PHOENIX, ATiz., June 5.-Coal op- orators from southern Colorado and northern New Mexico mining districts testifying here today at a hearing conducted by Examiner Pattison of the interstate commerce commission declared that a reduction in coal rates from their districts to Arizona points would. enable them to enter this field in competition with the Gallup, N M., mines. The operators described as discriminatory the rates in effect from their districts to Ari Zona points as compared with rates from Gallup to Arizona The hear ing was one of a series to determine whether coal rates in intermountain territory are reasonable. The final hearing will be held Wednesday in Fl Paso.
 The operators urged that rates be reduced because in normal times the Gallup mines would be unable to supply the demand of Arizona mines Witnesses testifying for the United Verde and the Verde Extension cop per companies asserted these com panies are discontinuing the use oi oil and again are burning coal They asked the return of pre-war rates declaring that normally tlfe two com panies require 100000 tons of coa a year

SAY COAL PAGT
 WILL ADVANCE RETAIL PRICE
Hoover Told Maximum Price at Mines Means Increase
 to Buying Public

WASHINGTON, June 5.--Retail pri- ces of bituminous coal twill rise as much at S1.75 a ton because of the ad- vance in the price of coal at the mines under the agreements reached last week with bituminous operators in the producing fields, Secretary Hoover was informed today by Aoderic Ste phens of New York, chairman of the board of directors of the National eR- tail Coal Merchants Association.
 Hoover met with about 45 members of the association to discuss the coop eration of the retailers in the com merce departments efforts to prevent runaway coal prices during the Strike but the conference developed princi- pally into colloquy between Stephens and Hoover over probable increase in the price of coal to the househObder The voluntary cooperation of the as- sociation to prevent undue price adJ vances was pledged by Stephens.
 Establishment of a maximum of s. ! 50 a ton for coal at the mines. Ste phens contented, will mean an in crease of SITS ton in the retail price in Maine and the northwest, while immediate advances could be ex- Ipected in New York and Chicago. 1 The necessity of advancing the re- i tail prices. he said, was due to the pri- ces fixed by the operators and long i transportation now necessary from nOn-union fields. Arrangements fix i ing fair prices with the operators, how ever, he added. had modified rises in
 the retail prices wLich might have reached even higher levels.
 i Hoover declared that he simply would not stand" for retailers blaming
 the increases on the fair prices fixed
 with the operators, asserting that the
 wholesale price of coal had been re- duced considerably, and that those
 who had coal under contract were un- der moral obligation to pass the ben efits of the fair, prices on to the pub
 lie.
 Stephens offered to cooperate with , any committees set up by the depart
 ment to handle the coal price situa-
 tion, but Hoover declared that no or
 ganism was being established to con- ? trcl the coal industry of the country, |, there being no legal standing for such action, and that only moral co-opera- tion' was being relied upon

Declares Marketing System Responsible
 For Cost of Living

WASHINGTON, June 5-A princi- pal cause for increasing living costs in the United States is the 'uawieldy system of marketing and distributing commodities, including relatively in efficient methods and uneconomic methods. coupled with wasteful prac- tices on the part of the public ac- cording to findings made public today by the joint congressional commission on agricultural inquiry.
 We have now reached a point where it costs more to distribute and serve than it does to produce" Chair man Sidney Anderson said in a fore cast onthe committee report. Com modity values are lost in a mass of service costs, and the time has come for consideration of the fundamental problem of the economic distribution of the essentials Of living"

 SCORED DURING
 TARIFF DEBATE
Representatives of Foreign Governments Come Under
 Fire of Senator

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Sir Auck- land Geddes, the British ambassador; Senator Ricci. the Italian abassadors, and representatives in this country of other foreign governments were at tackled today in the senate by Senator Watson of Indiana, an administration leader, in connection with statements attributed to them with respect 10 American trade. tariff. and other SUD- jects.
 We have no objection to these peo- pie expressing their honest views, Senator Watson said, but we have oD- jection to their trying to dictate the policies of the United States so long as they are accredited here as repre- sentatives of their.nations. This is an American government, and it is to be dictated to only by the sovereign voice of the American people.
 Suppose Colonel Harvey should Ses up in London and tell them they had 10 pass a tariff bill or tell them they had to do some other thing, or we would not do liusiness with them. They would send him home and they ought to do~it It is not his business to go over there and dictate the policy of
 
 theirs to come here and dictate to us"
 Senator Watson, who was delivering an address on the tariff, read a pub Iished account of an address delivered by Sir Auckland Geddes in California last March. in which it was stated since the United States held most of the worlds supply of gold some ar rof,f To hn the British could pay for their purcha- ses in the United States on other than a gold basis As one means, it was suggested that commerce between the two countries be carried in British ships.
 We must not have an American merchant marine" exclaimed Senator Watson, we must use British ships; we must employ the British merchant marine to do our carrying, this mighty nation situated as it is between the two imperial seas of the world, that ought to have the carrying trade Of the earth and carry American com merce in AmericaR ships. It not that the right policy for the United States Oh, but our friend from abroad says no, we must use British ships, that we must hOt AiNt du 'Aul lNiCdn AiclCudllt marine, or they will not trade with us".
 Now he is a very great man, 9 very capable representative of a mighty people, and yet l think he is going entirely outside the bounds of propriety in attempting to dictate the policy of this mightiest of nations in the recorded history of time"
 Reading from a statement credited n A m a c fn hp nff Daf if the United States placed high ;ar tiff on lemons and olives Italy would ~be compelled to impose high rates on American products. Senator Watson said this was a threat that eff we put up the tariff and do not buy from them, they will cease to buy from us. '

balanced tariff measure ever present. eG to congress, Senator Watson as- serted that if fhe Democrats believed it to be one-half as immoral or outrageous" as they claimed, they would permit it's passage in 15 minutes" He added that if this were October ,, there would be a senate vote at once.
 Senator Watson said the history of tariffs proved that tariffs had little effect on the normal flow of com merce. He presented official figures to show that under the Dingley tariff act, described as having the highest rates ever enacted in this country, exports had increased S600.000,000 and imports SS0O,0O0,00O during the life of the law.
 Under the Payne-Aldrich law. he said, exports increased $500 100000 and imports $500,000,000. "notwith- standing the dismal predictions and doleful prophecies os the foes of pro 1 tectiOn."
 The speaker contended free trade reduced the purchasing power of the people, because, he said. factories were closed by the influx of foreign goods until eventually there was 2 lessened demand for both domestic and foreign products
 Senator Simmons, ip his reply, de clared Senator Watson had made g graveyard speech" dealing with con ditions in the past and had avoided entirely the contentious made daily against this bill and it's various ig noble propositions"
