had expressed much concern at
the legislative jam in Congress.
THE President is very anxious
to do what he can to expedite
passage of the tariff and break
this JAM" said Watson. But
we told the President there was
nothing he could do to expedite
matters. We told him there were
eighty amendments pending and
others may be offered. Under
such circumstances the only thing
we can do is to try to keep
debate pertinent to the tariff.
I'VE expressed the hope to the
President that the tariff will be
passed by March 10 and then 1t
will be sent to conference, which
is another matter"
The White House parley pro-
voked debate in the Senate when
Senator Harrison CD of Missis-
Sippi, demanded that the Repub-
publican leaders reveal whether
President Hoover had spanked or
blessed them. Watson replied
that the Presidents only purpose
in calling the conference was to
volunteer his help in passing the
tariff.
Harrison Hits TiISOn
Harrison first denounced Rep
reSentative TilSon (R.D of Con-
necticut. majority leader of the
House for complaining against
the Senate's delay in enacting the
tariff. Harrison aSSailed the
House bill, charging it provided
"robber rates" and said 1t had
been the duty of the Senate to
amend the measure. This angered
TllSon, Harrison added.
Laughs Off Criticism
Watson laughed at Harrison's
remarks, declaring the Missis.

House tariff rates was condemn.

because they have no existence
now; both are gone" He pointed
out that the Senate Finance Com
mittee had rewritten the House
bill and that since then the SEN

amendments.
Did the President say he
favored this bill?" asked Harri-
son.

ture." I
"Oh, yes" countered Harrison,
you could find out how he
stands on elimination of the fiex-
ible provision, on adoption Of the
debenture form of farm relief
and on these rates the Senate has
put in the bill"
The tariff has been before Con-
greSs since January, 1929, more
than IS months. It passed the
House last May and the Senate
has had it ever since. All other
important legislation has been
blocked in the Senate since, the
regular session started in Deem
Der, although on a few occasions
the tariff was laid aside to trans
act other business, notably the
confirmation Of Chief Justice
Charles Evans Hughes.

DO be gone through and this will
delay the conference negotiations,
although 1t Is unlikely there will
be any change in the French
attitude at the conference.
In Accord On Navy
g All French political parties are
In complete accord with the
holicy followed by Tardieu in the
disarmament parley and regard
less of whether or not Tardieu
himself will be asked to form
hnother cabinet, his ORIGINAL naval
Riews will be adhered to.

Votes on the question Of aug
mented pensions for widows of
officers and soldiers who lost
kheir lives in the World War.
President Doumergue himself Is
said to be in favor Of imme-
diately asking the former premier
10 form another government. This
cannot be done because custom
demands that the leaders Of those
parties causing the overthrow of
o cabinet must first be consulted.
Situation Is Delicate
This brings to the fore the
names Of Camille Chautemps and
Senator Etienne Clementel. The
former is the leader of the radical
socialist party which was directly
responsible for the overthrow Of
the Tardieu cabinet. The latter
failed in an effort to form a
government just before Tardieu
succeeded about three months
ago.
It is not regarded likely that
either would succeed in finding
enough support to entertain hopes
Of forming a new government.
The horizon is therefore do1ai-
mated by Tardieu, Aristide BRAND,
foreign minister in the deposed
cabinet, and Former Premier,
Poincaire who resigned because
of i'll health last fall, but who is
now reported to have cancelled
his plans for a trip to South
America, a fact regarded s1grli-
ficantly in view of the recent
turn Of events.
Tardieu Is Strongest
EOf the three, Tardieu is said
to be regarded strongest because
of the prestige he attained at
the London and Hague confer
ences. BRAND having been

Play Prominent Part in
Relief of Suffering From
Unemployment.
United Press

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 18.-In ten of
the forty-eight states in this coun-
try there are laws on the statute
books providing old age pensions
a move which is playing a promi-
nent part in the relief of the suffer-
ing caused by unemployment.
In most cases, the counties and
the states share the expense of the
pension. In few states the law is
optional with the counties.
In Wisconsin eight counties have
old-age pension. An estimated
total for 1880 of $135, OOO-$175O a
month per pensioner-waS paid out.
Recipients must be more than
10, and a resident of the state for
fifteen years. The state bears one
third Of the cost.
New States Try Plan
Massachusetts, law becomes effec-
tive July l, 1881. Pensioners must
be over 70 and have twenty years
residence in the state.
New York states law goes into eff
feet Jan. 1. State and counties will
share the cost equally. The esti-
mated expenditure for the first year
is $3O,OOOOOO.
In Kentucky the law is dormant;
the only county which adopted it
abandoned the plan after two
year trial.
Virtually the same situation eX-
lists in Maryland, where the legiS-
Iature passed the bill but did not
provide an Appropriation, thus leav-
ing the act imperative.
Recipients in Wyoming must be
IS, but it is said that the law was
virtually imperative because pay
ment is at the discretion of the
county commissioners.
The Colorado law permits city
councils and county commissioners
to create old age pension funds for
payment up to 81 day maximum.
Administered by Counties

board. In 1929 the total disburse-
