Berlin, June A.-(R-Dr. Gustav
Stresemann, German foreign minis
ter, made q vigorous defense Of the
German governments foreign policy,
particularly with reference to the rep.
arations problem. in an address be-
fore the Reichstag today answering
bitter criticism by Count Westary,
leader Of the nationalists.
The foreign minister declared the
newly drawn up Young plan was .
definite Improvement over the Dawes
plan from the viewpoint Of the bur.
den on Germany. AS to Its future,
he said: Nobody In the world can
give an absolute guarantee as to its
workability. The experts themselves
stated the maximum forecast can be
for only ten years"
Defends Stand

the United States, which, however, ne
did not mention directly was his an

we. The fact that the colonies sat
down together to work out ameliora-
ton for each other because Of others
did not give them ameliorAtion- that
Is something that cannot be removed
from the history Of the Paris negotia-
tions.
The foreign minister. despite his
recent illness, delivered his speech
with great vigor. It was felt in great
measure to have taken the wind out

euuivocally that Germany would not
stand for the installation Of . COM

Critlclses Reichstag
Count Westarp, In opening the de-
bate. criticized the Reichstag for let
ting seven months pass without pub.
lie discussion Of foreign policy.
Discussing the Young plan, Count
Westarp asserted that Germany In ac-
cepting the Dawes plan, had the cx-
euse that it had been forced upon her.
whereas the Young plan was adopted
by the experts acting as free agents.
It's acceptance therefore was far more
serious. The nationalists, he de-
clared, would oppose cnslaving future
generations as Contemplated by the
plan" The remainder Of his speech
was taken up with IN analysis OF DR..
stresemann's five years direction OF
foreign affairs which he claimed was
q complete failure.

washington. June "a. -@- With
the Democratic Republican inde.
pendent movement In opposition to
the house tariff bill apparently gain
ing momentum, four schedules OF that
measure which are destined to be
the subject Of more or less intense
controversies in the senate engaged
the attention today Of subcommittee
Of the finance committee and scores
of witnesses.
Two Of these schedules-wool and
sundries-were open for testimony for
the first time since the committee
began Its public hearings on the bill.
while about 100 witnesses already had
been heard on the other two-agricul-
ture, and carths, earthenware and
glassware. Most Of the witnesses who
have been heard thus far have ap-
pealed for greater increases than the
house voted in the duties on products
with which they were concerned.
Discussion ls Likely
The sundry schedule is the one
which contains the house proposal
adopted after considerable contro-
versy. to place duties on hides, leath-
er, boots and shoes. now on the free
list. This, with the similar proposal
affecting various building materials
and that to increase the rate on
sugar, is expected to be the basis for
several weeks Of debate. at least. dur
ing the senate's consideration Of the
bill after August 10. Lengthy dis
cussion also Is likely to grow out Of
the proposal In the wool schedule ia
add three cents to the present duty
Of 81 cents on raw wool and to in
crease the rates on wool n1anufac-
lures to compensate for that advance
Evidence Of the growing intensity
Of the Democratic. Republican inde.
pendent movement to confine revision
to agricultural and relatcd products
and to bring about reductions in some
industrial schedules was given ir
statements by Senators Brookhart
Republican, Iowa, and Representative
Hull, Democrat, Tennessee.
Cannot Aid
The former held that farmers
should recognize that however high
tariff rates might be made on com.
modify Of which there Is surplus
they cannot aid its producers. He
also said the present law gave farm
products only IL per cent actual pro.
lection and that the house bill would
Increase this to only l.3 per cent
compared with an effective rate on
other industries Of 38.8 per cent"
Hull charged that sinister and
selfish forces dominated the house
tariff proceedings, and unless the
people bestir themselves they will
likewise dominate the senate"
Agriculture" he said, for the
ninety ninth time is to be hood
winked and humbugged by prolific
promises Of effective tariffs that are
. fraud and q swindle, save as to Ger
tain minor specialties."
