Genoa.-Soviet Russia contributed
another sensation at the economic con-
ference Wednesday by sending note
to the Polish delegation demonstrating
against Poland's action in joining with
the allied powers in protest against Il
separate treaty between Russia and
Germany. Russia claimed that the
peace treaty between herself and
Poland covers all relations between the
two countries, So that Poland. like Ger

mating that Poland by her present
action in the conference has ahrogated

for this reason the Russian remon.

compared notes on the new proposals
presented by the Russian delegates and
decided to forward their report to their

TARIFF BILL FIGHT
BEG|NS IN SENATE
Launch Debate Which May last For
Months; Republicans Deny Demo.
cratic Charges

WashingtOn.-There was an old.
fashioned tariff debate Tuesday in the
senate. 1t marked the real beginning
Of the weeks. and perhaps months. Of
battling over the administration meas
ure. which the finance committee re-
ported two weeks ago.
The discussion was opened by Sen.
ator Smoot, Republican. Utah, with a
detailed explanation of the elastic tar
1T proposals written into the bill at
the suggestion Of President Harding
and it included an attack on those pro.
posals by Senator Jones. Democrat,
New Mexico. and the opening Of a
general assault on the whole measure
by Senator King, Democrat, Utah.
Characterizing the measure as "more
iniquitous" than the Payne-Aldrich and
DINGHY easures, Senator King
charged that it was hill "to increase
the price of everything the people buy"
and was framed in the interest Of the
'dye trust, the steel trust. the chemi-
cal trust. the wooden mill trusts, some
of the cotton manufacturing trusts and
the multitude Of great organizat lions
that in the past have preyed upon the
people and that in the future will
continue their policy Of exploitation"
Senator King declared that the ad.
dress Of Chairman McCumber Of the
senate finance committee. in calling up
the measure last week. was IAN appeal
to the predatory interests of the United
States to be merciful to the poor con-
sumer." and said that "when the ma
ton was at war and the very fate Of
civilization seemed to be at stake,
some of the same vultures that die
tated schedules in this bill were rob.
bling the American people and the
American government"
Chairman McCumber later denied
that his address was an appeal" He
said that in discussing conditions in
the world and in this country, he
thought the time opportune to call at
tention of manufacturers. retailers and
factory labOrers that the American
public could consume only as much as
It could purchase and that If produc-
ton was to be increased. prices would
have to be brought down to within the
reach of the consumers pocketbook.
