WHEELER LAUDS
HOOVER ATTITUDE
Montana Senator Endorses
Suspension of Work on
Three Cruisers.

President Hoover's decision to suspend
temporarily the start of construction
Of three OF the new cruisers author
lied for the Navy, until after discus
sions with the British regarding further
naval limitation, meets the. approval of
Senator Wheeler OF Montana, Demo-
crat.
II do not agree with those who criti-
cize the President because of the stand
he has taken with regard to the
cruisers" said Senator Wheeler today
when questioned about the cruiser sus-
pension. It is likely that the action OF
the President will come up for discus
sion in the Senate when that body
meets again.
II think that the President has taken
an absolutely correct position" con-
tinued the Montana Senator, who Is
one of the Progressive group in the
Senate. Since the new government
h come into power in Great Britain
and it has shown a disposition to meet
us half way and suspend the building
Of some Of their ships, think 1t only
proper Mr.. Hoover should have taken
the action he did.
IT am not a pacifst and never have
been. and I think the United States
should have an adequate Army and
Navy. But surely there is no reason
why we, because Of the fact that we
have the power and the wealth to keep
up the largest Army and to build the
largest Navy in the world, should do so.
while Mr.. Hoover may meet with
opposition in Congress from those who
live in States interested in ship build
ing. yet he will find great deal of sup
port from members of the House and
Senate who represent States which are
not looking at the problem from their
own selfish standpoint"

part Of the bill before the measure is
taken up on the floor.
Proceeding with their revision work
yesterday, the majority committeeman
approved the retention of crude oil and
all its by-products, including gasoline
on the free list, but revised the House
measure to permit American automo-
biles purchased abroad to be returned
10 this country free Of duty.
The proposed automobile tariff amend
ment was designed to save American
travellers and workers abroad who pur-
chase cars shipped from the United
States from paying the double duty
should they desire to return to this
country and bring the machines with
them.
The decision to keep petroleum on
the free list, as does the House bill, was
defeat for independent oil producers
of Oklahoma and Southwestern fields,
who advocated q duty to cut down i'm
portation Of cheap oil from Colombia,
countries. This foreign oil, they con-
tend, completes keenly with coal for
fuel on the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts.
TragaSol, new chemical made in
this country for use in the paper and
textile industries, was taken by the
committee Republicans from the free
list and given a duty of 20 per cent.
Paper and Books Schedule.
The committee tariff trainers have
yet to act on some items in the paper
and books schedule, and the entire
sundries. wool and sugar schedules be-
fore reaching the administrative Sec
ton. The controversy over the House
provision transferring hides. leather
and shoes from the free to the dutiable
list Is involved in the sundries sched-
ule, while Chairman Shoots sliding
scale sugar tariff also has to be con-
sidered by the committee.
The Utah Senator announced today
that he was preparing another scale
plan with the duties based on raw
sugar prices, instead of refined, as
provided In his present proposal which
met with widespread opposition from
the industry's representatives at yester-
days public hearing.
Smoot said he saw little difference in
basing the fiuctuating rates on raw
prices, except that under this kind OF
scale the reflners' margin would be
kept more or less stabilized.
While not discouraged over the unani-
nous opposition of dozen witnesses
to his plan, the Senator said there was
a IIldb Sl1OUIS SCd4c WOuAO
come out Of the committee.
I'VE may act on a rate without q
sliding SCALE" he said. He added
however, that he still was convinced
this was the only way to meet the stu
alton, and that he would press the pro-
posal II a majority Of his Republican
committee colleagues Endorsed 1t.
Senator Glass, Democrat. Of Virginia
announced during the day that he
would press his amendment to the bill
when It reaches the floor providing a
tax on stock transactions where the
securities involved are held less than
60 days.
A prediction that the export deben-
ture plan which failed Of incorporation
in the farm bill would not figure to any
extent In the tariff contest was made
by Senator Fess, Republican, Of Ohio
Senators Brookhart Of Iowa and Norris
of Nebraska, Republican independents
have announced their intention OF Of
fering q debenture rider to the bill.

| Of the British. 1t was possible, 1t was
| said, for the remainder of the govern
| ments to go ahead without Great
Britain, effecting separate agreement
| with Germany and leaving Great Brit
ain to do the same.
The principal objection to this an
rangement was that 1t was not con-

| ropes difficulties in one direction it
| raised other difficulties in another. 1t
was also pointed out the proposed in

The head of the national delegations
! resumed their conversations. Arthur
Henderson, British foreign minister,
| called on Aristide BRAND, French for
eign minister and premier, but it was
| understood they discussed political as
poets of the conference rather than its
financial problems.
Mr.. Henderson later went to Schev-
| eningen to see Gustav StreSemanf',
| German foreign minister, while Emile
Moreau, governor of the Bank of
France, met DR.. Rudolf Hilferding, Ger-
man minister of finance.
Chancellor Snowden resumed his Of
| fensive against the Young plan yes
| terday and for the third time in as
many days declared that Great Britain
will not accept shares in the repara-
| lions annuitieS accorded by the COM
| mittee of experts, will not consent to
| the division of the annuities into con-
ditional and unconditional parts and
will not approve continued payments
| by deliveries in kind.
Snowdens attack provoked sharp
answers from French, italian and Bel
gian delegates, who declared they are
equally as determined to maintain the
Young plan as the British seem to be
to revise it.
Undoubtedly the committee is in
danger Of deadlock, but nobody pro-
fesses to see any way of satisfying
British demands.
The British chancellor said his gov
eminent regarded its demand for an
increased share of German reparations
| as a fundamental point and that the
question must be settled before the con-
ference proceeds to other matters.
Mr.. Snowden introduced a reSolu-
ton in the committee providing for the
| nomination Of subcommittee Of ex-
pertS to examine the objections made
| to the Young plan and to draw up and
present a scheme for the revision of
| that plan as concerns the method of
payment and the reparation between
| the creditors. The committee would
be composed Of delegates from creditor
I nations, with the Germans excluded.
I'VE cannot compromise" Mr.. Snow
den reiterated.

ASKED TO EXPLAIN
Senator King Would Know
More About $3.50, 900 De-
post Fund Exposure.

The statement of Mrs. Mabel Walker
Willebrandt in a signed story appearing
in The Star that $250,000 was found
in a safe deposit box of Senator after
he died and that the money was
turned over to another political leader
today drew a reply from Senator King,
Democrat, Utah, who said that if any
evidence can be submitted that the
fund was used in the 1925 Pennsylvania
primary he would favor an investiga-
ton by the Senate committee which
inquired into the campaign in that
year Of Senator-elect Ware of Pennsyl-
vania.
In her statement Mrs. WilIebrandt
did not mention names or States.
Senator King is member of the
Ware investigating committee, of which
the former Senator Reed, Democrat,
Missouri, was chairman. The Utah
Senator said he saw no reason for in
vestigating Mrs. Withdrawals assertion
unless evidence is submitted that the
money was used in the campaign over
which the committee has jurisdiction.

Graf Zeppelin, was apparently well
ahead of schedule today on the trans
atlantic leg of her globe-circling flight
