FACTIONS FAVOR
'EXPED|T|NG TARIFF
Decision Before December
Nigh Avoid Delay Because
of Politics.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The contending tariff factions in the
Senate are again processing a willing
ness to bring the issue to a decision
before the regular session begins in
December.
Leaders of the Democrats and the
Republican independents give this in
formal assurance coincident with the
rumor of a threat from the Republican
camp that. unless the tariff bill is acted
upon by January it will be laid aside
until next years political campaigns
are over. b ,.-..-5-,..,. s-s7.c. -" ..'.""vs,
That threat seems to have emanated
from high authority in the admins
tration leadership at the Capitol. which
neither confirms nor denies it. The ad-
ministration apparently is determined
not to have the controversy over such
a vital issue dragged along and injected
into the primary campaigns which begin
next year. The Republican leadership
also holds that President Hoover de-
serves to have his program for the extra
session acted upon during that session
and other work attended to in the reg
ular session.
Democrats Concur.
Democratic leaders have replied that
they concur. Their answer is that they
feel the Republican tariff bill is good
campaign material for the Democrats
and they are ready to settle the ques-
ton in Congress and 60 to the polls
on the result. Also. the Democrats
say they are willing that Mr.. Hoover's
extra session program be disposed of in
the extra session.
Senator Borah of idaho, spokesman
for the Western Republicans who are
the administration Republicans, says
he has no intention of delaying final
vote. Under no circumstances, he
says, will he seek to filibuster against it.
"As a matter Of fact" declares, "if
that bill were rewritten in 10 days to
meet my views would be ready to
vote upon it,"
Hoover Stand Problematical.
Whether President Hoover would con-
cur in the rumored proposal to put the
tariff bill aside after the first of the
year If not acted upon then is prob
lematical and none of his advisers at
the Capitol hazards a guess.
Meanwhile, the rumored threat Is
regarded by some as a club seeking to
force early action on the tariff. Ger
tain 1t IS that the administration wants
early disposition of the bill. Callers
have been informed of this by Mr.
Hoover himself.
Senator Watson of Indiana. the Re.
publican leader, also is striving to as
sure early disposition of the bill. How
ever. two months seems to be the
earliest ip which the measure can get
through the Senate. The bill will be
taken up September 4. If it is acted
upon by the middle Of November Re
publican leaders will be happy.

NAVAL CUT TIME
IS BEING SOUGHT
British.American Sea Power
Equality May Be Reached
Between 1934-40.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The British-American naval discus
sions have advanced to q point where
a specific time is being sought for at
tainment Of the equality in sea power
which already has been agreed upon by
Prime Minister Macdonald and Ambas-
sador Dawes. The expectation here is
that some year between 1884 and 1910
will be selected.
Under the parity agreement, not only
the battleships and airplane carriers
covered in the Washington arms limita-
tion treaty, but cruisers and other cat
egories of vessels of the two navies are
to be brought to a level of equality in
strength, which is to be measured, pre-
sumably, in terms of age, speed, armor
and gun power as we'll as tonnage.
When that can be done to best ad-
vantage Is now one of the most import
ant questions before the London nego-
tiators.
20,000-Ton Reduction.
The problem, considered on the basis
Va pICScuI EuuuulB pIOSEdIIlS OI Tie Two
governments, involves many factors ard
experts have almost as many opinions
Of the probable answer. As these pro-
grams now stand, Great Britain would
have cruiser superiority of about
10000 tons in 1910, which would be re-
duced to $4,000 If the British made per-
manent MacDonald's action suspcnding
work on two 10000-ton ships.
The year 1896 is regarded by some as
the most logical time to effect equality.
In that year, about 1000 tons of small
British cruisers will become obsolete,
and experts calculate that, if they are
not replaced, the two navies will be on
a basis of approximate equality as far
as tonnage Is concerned.
That apparently simple answer is
complicated. however, by the different
desires of the two nations in the matter
Of cruiser types. The United States
prefers the 10,000-ton ship, while the
British lean strongly toward the 5000
ton type.

strength of such vessels that the ccm-
