MELLON BELIEVED
TARIFF OPPONENT
Secretary's Enmity Is Held
Based on Fear of Effect on
Revenue and Trade.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

On indisputable authority, news
reaches this writer that the influence
of Andrew w. Mellon, Secretary of the
Treasury, has been thrown into the
balance at the eleventh hour against
the Hawley-Smoot tariff bill.
Whether Mr.. Mellon speaks with
the authority, or on behalf of, the Hoo
yer administration, is not disclosed
But his hostility to the bill has been
communicated to Republican leaders
In the Senate, and carried. no little
weight with them. That the Secretary
Of the Treasury's dislike Of the pro-
posed law has much to do with the
noncommittal attitude toward it now
maintained by the two Pennsylvania
Senator'S, Reed and Grundy, is not
doubted on Capitol Hill Senator Reed,
ever since he entered Congress, has
ranked as the personal spokesman of
'the greatest Secretary of the Treasury
since Alexander Hamilton"
State Suffers Only Slightly.
Politicians who are acquainted with
Melons opposition to the Hawley-
Smoot "monstrosity," as its foes dub it,
say it is a wholly Short-Sighted view
to attribute his enmity to the bills
effects on 1.-The industrial empire of
Pennsylvania" Not only is Mr.. Mellon
described as too broad-gauge q man to
base his position on so sectional a
ground, but it is declared that Pennsyl-
vania's interests, on the whole, suffer
only slightly under the bill. Alumni

which industries Mellon interests are
directly of indirectly concerned, don't
come off as well as they'd hoped to
under the Hawley-Smoot conference

will have to put up the shutters on ac-
count Of them. They are no longer
infant industries"
What Secretary Mellon is anxious
about is the broad economic effects of
the bill, should it become law. In the
first place, it inevitably would slash
Treasury income from customs duties on
foreign imports seriously. Last year

TURKS AND GREEKS SIGN
FRIENDSHIP TREATY
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ISTANBUL, Turkey, June 10.-A
treaty of friendship between Turkey and
Greece was signed here today.
The agreement was signed by the
Turkish foreign minister, DR.. Tevfik
Rushdi Bey and the Greek minister at
Angora, M. Polychroniadis.
The long awaited agreement was con-
sidered prelude to Turko Greek amity
pactS, entailing trip of Premier Veni-
zelos in october to Angora.
The Turkish press said that consum-
nation of the friendship agreement
made the Turkish horizon more peaceful
than it had been for six centuries.
Twenty thousand Greeks in Istanbul,
who under the accord are recognized
as established residents, especially well
coined the treaty. During the last seven
years inability of the two nations to
agree upon their status has made them
officially lost souls" unable to pro-
cure passports or any legal documents.

A statement Of the policy of the
Senate foreign relations committee re-
garding the right of the committee to
have papers and documents dealing
with international treaties is to- be
drafted, in the form of a resolution, by
a subcommittee consisting of Chairman

shire and Senator Black of Alabama.

fight in committee against the London
treaty.
Right to Be Expressed.
1.-THE reply of the President" said
Senator Borah, after the committee
meeting, Ito the request for all the
papers relating to the London treaty, is
treated as conclusive. The resolution
will express the view of the committee,
however, in a general way to the COM
mittee's right to have all papers and
documents that would throw light on
treaties negotiated by the executive
branch of the Government"
Senator Black presented a resolution
which undertook to set forth the policy
and views of the committee at todayS
session. The committee determined
however, to have the resolution re-
drafted, following debate which lasted
for an hour and half, and appointed
a subcommittee headed by Senator
Borah.
The resolution was not to be con-
strued as censure of President Hoover
for his action in regard to confidential
documents which he declined to send
to the foreign relations committee, &C
cording to Senator Borah.

However, If the resolution is adopted
by the committee, as now seems prob
able, copies of the resolution will be
transmitted to the Secretary of State
and the President.

KING CAROL BUSY
FORMING CABINET
Complete Reconciliation Re-

Princess Helen.
Nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, Rumania, June 10
King Carol II, seeking to unity the
entire country after the dramatic events
of the past few days, today was busy
working on the formation Of new
cabinet and at the same time trying
for reconciliation with Princess Helen.
In an effort to learn the extent of
the remaining National opposition he
summoned Gen. Averescu, head Of the
National opposition, to the palace today.
1t appeared doubtful whether the new
cabinet would be completed by We'd
nesday or whether it would be q
straight Peasant government as repre-
scented by the former premier, Juliu
Manu-.
The Associated Press was told, on
the best authority, that efforts are now
in progress to bring about a recon-
Citation of more than a formal nature
between Carol and Princess Helen, who
divorced him two years ago.
It is felt that it would be difficult

The city Of Bucharest was still in
festive clothing today. Flags were
everywhere, and there was an atmos-
phere of good will. Crowds were still
peeping through the rails of the royal
palace, which was merely guarded by
three policemen and sentinel of the
guard in tall busby, who paced before
the palace portals.
With the King installed in the left
wing of the palace, bricklayers and
stonemasons calmly continued their
work of rebuilding the central portion,
which recently was destroyed by fire
which ruined costly paintings and the
library.
The King professed today to have for
