ENGLAND VOTES
IN MAMMOTH
ELECTION

LONDON, May 80 (I.N.S.).
British voters went to the
polls today to choose 615
members of the new House Of
Commons.
The issue Hes between the Con.
seryatives, now in power, led by
Premier Stanley Baldwin, and the
Laborites. led by J.. Ramsay Mac.
Donald, who was prime minister Of
the short-lived labor government Of
1924.
There IL q possibility. however.
that neither the Conservatives nor
the Laborites viii secure a clear
cut majority of members of the new
house, in which case David Lloyd
George, former Liberal and Coali!
ton prime minister, will hold the
balance OF power.
100000 New Names
Today's eligible electorate totals
approximately 2S,700, 900. the largest
in British history. Almost six mil
lion electors have been added to the
lists since the last general election
In 1924.
The majority Of the new voters
are women, who, for the first time,
have equal rights with male electors.
Last year Parliament agreed to ex-
tend the franchise to all women
over 81 and the act went into effect
this month.
In the new electorate women out
number men by about million and
half. 1t il chiefly the unknown
factor of the new women voters
that makes the outcome of today's
election uncertain. About 70 per
cent of the electorate is expected
to go to the polls.
81 Nj. P.'s For London
London alone returns So M. P.'s.
Birmingham returns IL, Manchester,
10, and other cities, towns and
country districts accordingly.
Candidates for the SIS seats
total 1,729, another record. In
cluded in this total are SO women
candidates, more than ever before.
Not more than 25 of them, how
ever. stand any chance of being
elected. The high previous total Of
candidates was in 1923, when 1,443
stood, S28 of them in vain.
Seven men are already elected,
unopposed. Their elections were
declared on May 20, when nominal
tions closed and it was revealed
that they had no opponents.

To LOSE
IN WAR ON
RECESS

Confident Of Presid e n t
Hooyer's approval, administra-
ton leaders ON Capitol Hill
went ahead today with their
plans for an all-summer recess
of Congress.
A stiff legislative program. how.
ever, must be completed before the
vacation. The President has insisted
on final enactment of both the farm
relief bill and the new census and re-
apportionment bill and Admlnistra-
ton leaders have agreed.
Jones In Revolt
The one-man revolt Of Senator
Wesley l.. Jones, Republican whip
Of-the Senate. who protested against
any recess until the tariff bill be-
comes a law, found virtually no sup
port from either Republican 'or
Democratic chieftains.
Administration leaders, though, de-
clared that before Congress does go
home, the Senate must agree to fix
a definite date for final enactment of
the tariff early next fall.
The insurgent group has de-
manded revision of the Senate rules,
too, before Congress recesses. The
insurgents initiated tn drive for
publication of all Senate roll calls
and for public consideration of presi.
dental nominations three years ago
and, with victory so close, they fear
long recess may block adoption OF
the reform.
White House Attitude
The official statement from the
White House on the subject OF a
recess quoted the President as pro
posing completion Of the legisla
ton this session."
The announcement was taken ia
indicate Presidential approval Of tae
recess, once the farm and reap
portionment bills have been enacted
and the Senate agrees 10 enact the
tariff bill next fall. The White
House statement further said that
mo program as to length OF the
recess on the tariff bin has as YET
been determined upon"
This statement did not conflict
with the views OF the congressional
leaders, since all their plans are
entatIye at this time.

PRO I EST
COMING
THICK
~ international New. Service


Apprehension is growing
among administration officials
that the tariff wall in the
course Of erection by Congress
will seriously affect the
foreign relations of the United
States.
The most serious phase of ad-
verse editorial comment in the
foreign press and the formal pro"
tests from diplomatic representa-
tives is the attitude of Argentina
and several other South American
countries
With the Hoover administration
definitely committed to policy of
building up trade with South
America and the maintenance OF
friendly relations, officials are be-
coming genuinely disturbed at the
turn of affairs since Hoover's visit
to the Southern hemisphere.
Many Protests
The nations to the south which
have already protested certain
schedules affecting their exports to
the United States include Argentina,
Costa RIGA, Guatemala, Honduras
and Cuba.
American diplomatic officers in
those countries and in Europe are
keeping the State Department al
vised of the growing resentment
against the United States because
of general increases in tariff which
are declared to go beyond the
arif In
as the foreigners refer to the
existing law.
They had adjusted themselves to
the already high rates, they assert,
and are now confronted with a
readjustment in the face of a diff
cult world market situation.
Argentina, the largest customer
of the United States in South Amer
lea, objects to the new corn ana
beef schedules; Cuba objects to the
sugar increase and even sent a
note. to the State Department sug-
costing repeal of the Plat amend
ment If the new rates went into
effect: Costa Riea, Honduras and
Guatemala objected to the fruit
schedules with success so far.
StimsOn Sees Trouble
Great Britain diSllkeS the wooden
textiles schedule, and for Australia,
&he raw wool increase. For Ber-
n1uda, the British formally protested
the new duty on onions. Spain not
only protested onion. peppers, pi-
mentos, tomatoes and almonds, but
machinery, automobiles and pc
troleum products.
Persia and Turkey objected
strenuously to the increase on
oriental rugs; Canada to increase on
agricultural products, fish and dairy
products.
France has not protested any
particular schedule, but during the
past year protested vigorously
against the American system Of
evaluation of her commodities for
customs purposes.
What the State Department can
do about it is causing Secretary Slim
son some thought. He admits his in
fluence with Congress on the tariff
is probably nil. Charged with the
maintenance of friendly relations
with foreign governments, however,
he sees potential trouble ahead.
