place in the audience chamber of the
castle.
The Dawes party travelled in spe-

j. B. Monck of the foreign office. Mrs.
Dawes wore royal blue serge coat and
fur.
The Ambassador wore top hat and
conventional morning garb and chatted

others, was hardly noticed by most of
the passengers travelling on the same
train.
English newspapers made much of
the arrival of Dawes, dividing their In
terest between picturesque phases of
the former Vice Presidents character
and his errand of good will to Great
Britain.

CONGRESS RESTS
FOR TARIFF FIGHT
immigration Only Other Fea'
ture of Hoover Program
to Be Acted On.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Congress took a rest today after a
weeks work in which it disposed of
most of the administrator program
for the special session and felt for the
first time the edge of the keen con-
troversy In prospect over tariff revision
in the Senate.
Farm relief legislation was out Of the
way, except for the task of providing
funds for the new Federal Farm Board.
The 1880 census was provided for, to-
gether with reapportionment OF the
House membership in accordance with
that and succeeding decennial popula-
ton counts.
To that extent, President Hoover's
fiye-point program was ready for the
statute books. A fourth point, his

national origins Immigration aqseta
basis, apparently has been definitely
shelved by the Senate during the week,
ana the fifth---tariff revision--was
started on the Senate finance committee
phase Of its development after passage
Uy bIi6 HOUSE.
Bitter Disputes Seen.
Although the injection of the export
debenture plan into the farm relief pro-
posal made that the vehicle for a con-
troversy which will not soon be erased,
tn Senate's consideration of tariff re-
vision Is expected to produce an even
greater number of more or less bitter
disputes.
The Senate will be confronted again
Monday with the proposal of Senator
Borah, Republican, Idaho. to instruct
the finance committee to confine its
tariff revision to agricultural products.
Borah was one of the leading figures
in the ic-Republican inde-
pendent group which stood out for
debentures over the Presidents oppose
ton.
Senator Watson of Indiana, the Re-
publican leader, who marshaled the ad-
ministration forces in that contest, is
again alined against him in the tariff
dispute, favoring the general sort Of
revision approved by the House.
For Limited Revision.
The President recommended limited
revision with especial attention to
agricultural needs, and many observers
are finding it difficult to determine
which can be described as the "ad-
ministration group in the new contest.
Nevertheless, they expect the Borah
proposal to draw its principal support
from The Democrats and Republican
independents who opposed the President
on debentures, with the OPPOSITION COM
ing from the administration group" Of
that contest.
The House meanwhile, will be called
upon next week TO appropriate some or
all Of the $500,0000o0 revolving fund
authorized in the farm relief bill for
the Federal Farm Board. About $780,
900. 600 is understood to be desired at
once to meet the wheat situation, and
little delay in making the appropriation
is expected in either chamber.
