top figures. Before the advance began,
however, numerous standing orders to
sell out and stop losses on the part of
holders had been forced into operation.
Talk of increased shipments and
cheaper offerings from Australia and
Argentina, together with reports that
no European demand was apparent for
United States or Canadian wheat, had
good deal to do with the price setbacks
which were witnessed here until about
midday. World shipments amounted
70 almost 100000 bushels and this
circumstance together with unexpected
weakness of quotations at Liverpool
counted also as bearish factor. When
signs were evident, though, that sell
ing here had run it's course. the mar
ket promptly headed upgrade. Mime
apolis reports of improved demand for
hour aided the advance in wheat.
Corn and oats were swayed by wheat.
Meanwhile country offerings to arrive
were small and 1t was pointed out that
corn on the hoof is worth we'll above
81 a bushel.
Provisions were responsive to an up
turn in hog values.

Geneva MEETING
ON DISARM AME:NT
VAIN, is BELIEF
Coolidge Departs from
Hughes Policy

WASHINGTON, March 24-Neither
President Coolidge nor any of his
chief advisers, who include Secretary
Of State Kellogg, Ex-secretary of
State Hughes, and the members of
the American delegation to Geneva,
believe it will be possible to reduce
ornaments on a basis of potential
war strength" rather than on basis
of existing armies and navies. Never
theless, rather than be put in the po-
sition of obstructing or hindering the
conference the American delegation
will go to Geneva prepared to take its
full part in the discussion and coop.
crate to the limit of its constitutional
ability.
In deciding to go ahead with plans
despite misgivings which amount
almost to conviction Of fruitless effort,
the administration has departed some
what from a fixed policy established
by Charles E. Hughes as secretary of
state. The Hughes policy was to de-
cline to participate in any European
conference that did not give substan-
tial promise of success. On that ba-
sis, Mr.. Hughes "ducked" numerous
economic conferences" such as the
memorable one promoted by Lloyd
George at Genoa.
To Preserve Misapprehension.
In case of the leagues disarmament
conference, however, it was felt Amer
lean aloofness would be interpreted
as an unwillingness to discuss a prin-
ciple for which America has long
stood-reduction or limitation of COM
petitive armament.

TARIFF INQUIRY
REVEALS REASONS
F 0 R FLEXIBILITY
German Inventive Genius
Threatened u. S.
Especial to The DAILY Worker,

WASHINGTON March "a The
flexible provisions" of the present
tariff act we're written into the law
to save American manufacturers from
the menace of German inventive
genius, Thomas Walker Page, former
vice-chairman of the commission, tes-
titled today at the senate's tariff In
quiry.
Page said the flexible provisions"
were conceived at White House con-
ference attended by President Hard
ing, Secretary of Commerce Hoover,
and members of the tariff commission.
The commission was told at the con-
ference, Page said, that American
manufacturers were "obsessed with
fear" over German competition and
the flexible provisions" were drafted
to secure further safeguard to pre-
vent Germany smashing thru an al
ready high tariff wall"
Opposed Provisions.
Page, a former professor Of econo-
mics at the University Of Chicago,
California, Texas and Virginia, told
the committee he was opposed to the
provisions. ut is impractical and q
bad policy even if practical"
Fear Of Flooding Market.
'What happened at this White
House conference?" Senator Robinson,
democrat Of Arkansas, chairman,
asked.
"Tt developed at the conserence that
members of the house and senate
were concerned over the foreign ex-
change situation" Page replied. 1T
was said small amount Of American
money could buy a large amount of
German goods, for instance, which
could be brought here cheaply. The
question arose as to what could be
done to prevent American importers
taking advantage of the low rate of
exchange and flooding this country
with cheap German goods at a price
with which American manufacturers
could not compete.
Menace Of German Brains.
"Then there was a fear OF German
inventive genius. It was felt the
Germans would continue to discover
inventions, which would cheaper the
processes Of manufacturing different
articles. A recent instance was the
invention of synthetic wood alcohol,
far cheaper than the known process of
manufacturing wood alcohol from
wood"

Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey partici-

Await Marke's Arrival.
The arrival of G. o. Marke, supreme
deputy of the Universal Negro I'm
provement Association, and the right
hand man Of Sheriff., the deposed
anti-Garvey leader, is breathlessly
awaited this morning. The convention
has very little substance In any of its
meetings, and the possible coming of
Marke has been a subject of discus
sion for several days. The mere
recognition Of the conventions exist
ence by Marke seems to give relief.
Marke is expected to give an ex-
tensive report this morning, and It IL
said that the convention will adjourn
shortly after to avoid further contro-
versy.
