Tariff on Agricultural
Products Asked BY HooUer

Washington.-A tariff on agricll-
tural products to prevent importation
of cheap foodstuffs and the raising of
living standards for the nation TO in
crease per capita consumption were
suggested as solutions for the farmer's
problem by Secretary Of Commerce
Hoover in speech before the Presi-
dents agricultural committee. This
situation led the commerce secretary
to say:
1.-THE American farmer will never be
upon q stable basis so long as he Is
dependent, on the one side, on compe7
tition with cheap foreign labor, and.
on the other, with lowered standards
of living in the export market"

Paris Chamber of Deputies
in Riot OUer Debt to u. S.

Paris. The chamber of deputies
was thrown into a 25-minute uproar
that faced suspension Of the session
after Deputy Desjardins had criticized
bitterly the chamber for refusing to
order the posting of Deputy Marin's
speech on the interallied debts. 1t
was the most disorderly scene ever be-
fore witnessed in the chamber.
Deputy Desjardins kept shouting
that the governmental majority wal
afraid to indorse Marin's thory Of jus
tice in dealing with the interallied
debts because of the "deplorable eff
feet it had on the American senate"
After President Painleve had
jammed his hat on his head as sig
nal that the session was suspended.
the deputies continued humping the
desks. gesticulating and shouting.
They quieted later and the session
was resumed, Premier Herriot taking
the rostrum.

COOLIDGE TO ASK
FRANCE TO PAY
Backs Senator Borah on
Debt-Will Make De-
mands After March a.

Washington. = President Coolidge
stands behind the demand of Senator
Borah that France pay its $4,000
100000 debt to the United States,
1t was learned at the White House.
1t is Indicated that Washington Off,
Gals are entirely weary of the eau
tlous feelers Of France toward mora
forum or outright cancellation.
It is believed that the President will
instruct the debt commission to COM
municate with France officially and
individually, as to her intent.
Official Washingtons principal topic
was the recent development in the
situation. Senator Bruce of Maryland
replied to the speech of Senator Borah,
laying the French attitude toward
Frances obligations in America. Sen
ator Dill followed Senator Bruce in
the same tenor: That, although
France should be made to pay. she
should be allowed every consideration
because Of her aid to the American
colonies during the Revolution
There is no doubt, however, that
the position of Senator Borah is the
position Of the administration. 1t is
believed that he apprised the Presi-
dent of his intention to speak on the
matter during the White House con-
ference Wednesday night.
1t is believed almost certain that
the debt commission. perhaps through
Ambassador Herrick, will be instruct
ed to make urgent representations to
the French government not long aft
er the Inauguration ceremonies on
March A.
Washington. - Senator William e.
Borah Of Idaho, chairman Of the for
eign relations committee, warned the
senate and the American people France
is planning to repudiate her $4,000
100000 war debt to the United States.
Replying to the speech in the French
chamber of dep -es by Deputy Marin.
Senator Borah said no one could read
that debate or the French press with
out concluding that 'acQuittal'' of the
debt is now the issue, ''that no part
Of 1t is to be settled, that no part Of
ii is to be paid"
~ SOuA PC, l4ldl SICdL pCOpACa gCtAA
take the position and repudiate their
obligation in that way" he added "but
II they choose to do so, the truth OF
history ought to carry the actual facts
in regard to the debt and the coIfdi-
tions and circumstances surrounding
the settlement
Il do not know whether it is ex-
actly just to say that we are now
discussing the question Of absolute re-
pudiation, but in view Of the fact that
for five years there has been no offer
Of settlement: no payment of princi-
pal and no payment of interest; In
view of the further fact that no spe-
citic proposition for settlement has
ever been made, that 1t Is not APP
parently now intended as the press
of France and as the speakers upon
behalf Of those people now indicate.
assume that that is the real prob
lem before us"
Quoting at length from Marin's adj
dress, in the course Of which the
French deputy said 1t would be In
iQuitous for the United States to coli
lect its debt from France. Senator
BOrah asserted there was no justifi-
cation for the efforts made to place
the United States In the position of
an ''exacting creditor"
