are patiently more powerful than
the government" declared Senator
Ladd. "They control the financial
situation. The can say TO the gov

obligations. they will buy; they can
finance new railways and new indus
trial combinations that meet the
stamp of their approval: they can
even finance foreign ventures and
the rate of exchanges to effect them
but little IN doing so.''
Asserting that while the soldiers
were sacrificing during the war the
bankers ware piling up surplus and
undistributed dividends. Senator
Laid declared that lit is one Of the
greatest shams Of the age that we
have not seized the strong arm OF
this government to react into the
gold-laden Golfers of these war
profiteers and compel them TO divide,
in an equitable manner, their out
rageOus profits with the former
service men.
Soldiers Destitute.
THE big banks emerged from
the, war in the most commanding
position of power of any institu tons
in tho history OF the world" con-
ulued the North Dakota senator.
The American soldier emerged
broken. without money. with the flu

yOnd the horizon. Millions of them

military commander of Picking.
The rebellious soldiers are re-

The report that Suns army is to

Wednesday night by reports from
Hankow and the Kiang district Of
Nanchang, indicating fighting in
Kiang province between the north

The report that the northern army
had mutinied and was returning

TARIFF SYSTEM.
Sen. Frelinghuysen o ffers
Amendment TO flake Tar

SAYS REFORM is NEEDED
Would Have Commission In

and Suggest Rates.

WASHINGTON. June 21.-Tech-
nicaily the tariff bill was before the
senate wednesday. but there was
no action upon any part OF it and
Il came IN for only brief discussion.
This was in connection with an
amendment offered by Senator Ere
linghuysen, republican. New Jersey,
10 set up the machinery
DooIdng 10 the enactment hereafter
OF a scientific tariff"
Under the terms of the amend
-aent, which is understood 10 have
some support on both sides Of the
chamber. the tariff commission
would be increased to ten members,
appointed by the president for life
and would be authorized to investi-
gate the difference in conversion
costs in the United States and
abroad and 10 recommend tariff
rates sufficient tocover that cos.
Not more than FIVE OF the members
OF the commission could be OF the
same political party.
Attacks Present System.
The amendment proposes an ap-
preparation of 81 900, 900 to cover
investigating costs and it would re-
quire the commission to recommend
new tariff rates by Dec. 1923, and
every six months thereafter in such
cases as It found that the rates in
force were higher or lower than the
difference between conversion costs.
In a prepared address explaining
his amendment Senator F'relinghauy-
sen declared the present tariff max
ing system was both illegal and
unscientific." Describing that sys-
tenn as "a complication Of the state
mont of manufacturers, importers,
merchants and farmers and Of In

The New Jersey senator argued
that his amendment would vitallze
