GERMANY SOLE
CHAMPION OF

BY HENRY WOOD
United Press staff CORES pondcnt

GENEVA, April 27.-Germany
today assumed the role Of sole
champion Of the cause of reduction
in Europe's standing armies.
Count Won BernStorff. chief Of the
German delegation to the prepara-
tory disarmament commission, told
the gathering today that the latest
stand of the United States and
Great Britain on the question of
trained reserves limitation would
make disarmament virtually impoS-
sible
Following the decisions of Eng
land and America no longer to OPP
pose the claims of Japan and the
European nations for unlimited
trained reserves. Won Bernstorff,
addressing the commission today,
said:
Germany. like the United States
and other nations, desires sensible
reductions in ornaments, but how is
it possible to reduce naval arna-
ments without making correspond
ing reductions in military arma-
ments, which is possible only by
limitation of trained reServes?"
Brigadier General De Marinis
Stenardo Di Rigigliano Of the Ital-
ian delegation took occasion to
thank Hugh S. Gibson. head Of the
American commission. for the dec
laration he made Thursday with
regard to trained reserves. He said
Italy was not able to abandon The
priciple of universal military serv-
ice and trained reserves.
1t was understood that the action
of the United States and Great Brit
ain in the question of land anna
ments indicated realization on
their pact that military disarma-
ment purely is continental prob
lem of no concern to naval powers,

BITTER BATTLE
IS FACED OVER
TARIFF BOOSTS
Strenuous Contests Develop
in House Committee
on Rates.
BY PAUL Il. MALLOM
United Press stan Correspondent
WASHINGTON A1n.il d

WASHINGTON, April 81. -
NIufled thunder emanated from the
house ways and means committee
room today where the tariff bill is
being made ready for consideration
in the house early next week.
Both houses are in recess until
Monday. The senate is ready for
another week OF Oratory over the
debenture plan of farm relief, but
in the end probably will reject this
and pass a bill much like the one
the house adopted.
The house committee is finishing
up six weeks of work in executive
session, and while its members
have denounced every leak" of the
proceedings, authentic information
has been obtained indicating
strenuous contest is developing over
much vital rates as sugar wool and
hides.
Sugar May Be Boosted
1t is reported on good authority
the sugar tariff which reaches every
breakfast table may be boosted
from $3.50 a hundred pounds TO SO.
The report has bee nsuficientyp
authenticated to cause the Cuban
Ambassador Ferrara to deliver a
strong speech in Philadelphia to-
day denouncing the proposed in
crease.
Wool may be boosted from 81
cents to "a cents: corn from IS cents
to 25 cents: cotton and wool textiles
considerably above their present
rates: hides bricks CCments and
manganese materially increased and
lumber to remain unchanged on the
free list.
Battle in Prospect
All reports. indicate clearly a
heavy tariff battle is in prospect,
Democrats are split over the issues
and have announced their anger
over not being admitted to secret
Republican meetings where some
parts Of the bill are being written.
The unusual secrecy has resulted
in charges that numerous deals are
being made between sectional rep
resentativeS, a practice known as
log rolling" whereby representatives
Of various sections form an alliance
to put over mutually beneficial rates.
