SENATOR 'SPLAN
FOR FINANCING
CAMPAIGN IS HIT
Congressman Ke!lev. Michigan
Candidate, Likens Townsend
Outlay to Newberry's.
by International News Service.

The Michigan senatorial campaign
committee" organized by friends Of
Senator Townsend to insure his re.
nomination was criticized vigorously
today by Congressman Patrick H.
Kelley, a Senatorial candidate. as a
device to defeat the Michigan cam.
paign expenditures election law and
characterized as the "Newberry ma.
chine"
This is the most vicious political
practice that has come into America
in fifty years." said Kelley. There
is no language harsh enough ID
characterize or condemn 1t.
The Townsend campaign commit,
tee is making monthly reports in
connection with it's expenditures in
behalf of Senator Townsend. 1ts
latest report shows a total expended
of over $4,000. The Michigan Law
limits expenditures by a Senatorial
candidate to $3.50. 1t has been held
that the law places no limit on eX.
penditures by a Campaign commit
tee" working in the interest of a
Senatorial candidate.
Congressman Kelley warns of pos.
sible heavy expenditures in the Sen
atorial campaign as he threw the
powder into the Michigan political
fires.
"I notice" Kelley commented,
that Senator Townsend's volunteer
workers have reported expenditures
aggregating more than $4,000 with
the primary election still four
months away. If IT takes $4,000 tc

GENOA, May 9.-The Russian
delegation to the international eco.
nomic conference today again delay.
ed handing in their reply to the al
lied statement Of conditions for rec
ognition of the Moscow Soviet gov.
ernment.
1t was understood this afternoon
that the detailed draft is completed,
that il will be turned over to the full
Russian delegation tonight for pc
rusal and that, unless further
changes are necessary. will be pre-
sented to the allies tomorrow.
II was reported the Russians had
agreed to certain concessions as n
result of pressure from friendly
sources, but that they refused to
concede anything that would impair
the principles Of the bolshCvist gov.
ernment.
Gloom Slightly Lifted.
The general gloom which has
lifted somewhat by the official de.
malls that the Anglo French entente
was threatened. but the clouds
cannot be dispelled entirely until It
Is known that the Russian reply is
satisfactory
II the allies decide that the pre-
liminary answer OF the Russians is
acceptable as the basis OF further
negotiations they will continue: If
not. the conference will find itself
upon the rocks and adjournment
will be taken by the end of the
week.
The Russians were in close touch
with the British. Italian. German
and some OF the neutral delegates
and IL was understood that Premier
Lloyd George has told George
Tchitcherin, head OF the Russian
delegation, that a satisfactory Rus
sian answer will mean genral rec
ognition OF the Moscow government
after probational period.
Doubt Value Of Reply.
Many delegates fear that the pre-
liminary reply Of the Russians will
be CouChed in terms so vague and
principles 40 general that II will
offer little material for a continue.
ton Of the discussions.
Some OF the allied and neutral
delegates were not sanRuine that
any concessions promised by the
Russians would be sufficient 10 keep
the conference going in view Of re-
iterated declarations by Tchitcherin
and his colleagues that they could
not concede anything which would
impair the principles OF the Bolshe
visit government at Moscow.
Germany's position seems to have
been strengthened by the modest at
titude OF the German delegates. The
only thing the Germans have done to
incur the displeasure OF the allies
was the signing of the Russian pact,
but it begins to appear that Chan
cellor Wirth is making some prog
ress in convincing allied delegates
that il was not a military pact.

An illustration is taken from :hc
case of long staple cotton. That able
merchant mariner. Albert Lasker,
goes and builds up a fine trade for
us carrying long staple cotton from
Egypt. Along comes the new tariff
bill and puts a duty of cents a
pound on long staple cotton. II tris
duty meets the purpose and the
wish Of its makers it will protect the
long staple cotton grown in America
against the long staple cotton grown
in Egypt 1t will diminish the I'M.
ports from Egypt.
But it WILL therefore. diminish the
trade Of Mr.. Laskers ships from
Egypt. Ships cannot be pr1fitahly
operated taking things to Egypt and
bringing nothing back. A carrying
nation must be an importing nation.
A carrying and importing nation can
collect the interest on its invest
ments abroad. 1t collects 1t through
what 1t carries and imports and cor.
sumes. In no other way can II col.
lect il successfully.
Such is the argument that the
Dcl1OCTilS are more anu more max
ing; and such is the situation that
they more and more RELY on for re-.
turning them and their lower tariff
philosophy to power at Washing ton.
1t is a situation, however, which
might take several years to work II.
self into political understanding and
action. In the meantime the farm.
ers of the West, having caught the
tariff fever from the manufacturers
of the East. have higher tempera.
ture at II than many of the manufac.
tprers now have. 1t Is prophesied in
some political circles that presently
there will be a large low tariff senti.
ment in business circles in the East
while the farmers in the West will
still be at the height OF their high
tariff enthusiasm.
The reason for this prophesy In
that business circles in the East
include an increasing number OF
persons with investments abroad.
Nations with Investments abroad
tend-like Britaln--to want easy pay.
ments from abronu through large
imports from abroad and therefore
tend TO want low tariff duties. II
