State Department Gets Ready to Open
Negotiations.

With the American reply to the
French note on tariff questions deliv-
cred by cable to the Paris embassy
last night, arrangements for holding
in Washington of negotiations for ad-
justment of tariff difficulties have been
made by the State Department.
The American communication was
sent during the night after confer
ences between State Department Off
cials and those of the Department of
Commerce and after consultation with
President Coolidge.
While the State Department has
suggested that negotiations be con-
Quoted in Washington the correspond
ent has not approached the point
where the basis for these negotiations
has been laid.
The new American communication
marks a further effort to adjust mat
ters on the bs sis of mutual, most
favored national understandings There
is little doubt, however, that the note
was designed to make it plain to the
French foreign Office that the pro-
visions of section 317 of the Ameri-
can tariff act, which authorizes dis
criminatOry duties against countries
which discriminate against the United
States, would be invoked If no other
way of meeting the situation raised
by the application of maximum
French tariff rates TO American goods
was to be found.

GENEVA, September 20.-The

Nations preparatory disarmament
commission, on which the United
States is represented. take into ac.
count the broader aspect OF the ques-
ton of security is threatened with op-
position in the League Assembly COM
mission now engaged in studying the
general disarmament problem.
NJ. Paul Boncour, author of the
French resolution insisting on security
is a prerequisite to any disarmament
program saw his proposal viewed with
more or less disfavor by Count Won
Bernstorff of Germany and the Earl
of Onslow. of Great Britain in the
course Of yesterdays secret session
of the subcommittee considering the
matter.
The German spokesman went so far
as to say that the disarmament prob
lem was like poor little Cinderella
all the suitors were rushing her big
sisters, security and arbitration, while
she was left out in the cold. He neg
lected to predict whether a provi-
dental prince would come along and
transform the disarmament pumpkin
into a gorgeous coach.
Disarmament debates at the pres
ent time threaten to prolong the AS

September. Two meetings of the dis
armament committee were on the pro-
gram today, while the meeting of

BALTIMORE, September 90
Plans for the Chesapeake Bay Bridge
are being revised to increase horizon
tai and vertical clearance at the east
and west draws to meet demands of
shipping interest.
The changes were ordered after
conference last week with Maj. e. r.

AS revised the draws will have a
vertical clearance of As feet when
closed. When open the vertical clear
ance will be 165 feet. Those eleva-
tions, it is believed. will be sufficient
for any ships that may ever pass
under the draws.
The extreme width. II was pointed
out, is required in carrying harges In
tow through the draw.
