COMPROMISE ON
TARIFF LIKELY
Conferees Again Consider
Revision of Flexible
Items of Bill

WASHINGTON, May 2S-(P-
The tariff bill went back to con-
ference today for another revision
OF its carefully written, but much
disputed, flexible clauses.
Chairman Smoot Of the Senate
finance committee. called the weary
conferees together for a meeting
tomorrow at which the task OF
drafting a new compromise will be
undertaken. He hoped to submit a
new conference report for debate
in the senate by next Monday.
The bill was returned to the con-
ferees as the result OF an unforeseen
development In the long series OF
controversies that has attended the
making OF the measure. Vice-Preg-
dent Curtis sustained a point Of
order raised by a democratic op-
ponent of the bill.
Authority Exceeded
This was based upon a contention
that the ~conferees had exceeded
their authority in drafting a COM
promise on the flexible provisions.
Specifically. it was argued the rules
OF procedure had been violated by
the insertion Of language contain
ed IN neither the senate nor house
draft Of the bill.
The clause in question was that

customs rates proposed by the tar

reconcile the conflicting views OF

President Wants Power
The house measure provided
tariff changes recommended by the
commission should not become ef-
fective unless approved and pro-
claimed by the President. The
senate bill restored to congress the
chief executives authority In this
connection. Mr.. Hoover was in ia

PARIS, Oct. 2.-Political unrest Is
again gripping France as roper
cussion of the German elections, as
well as the rapid extension of the
world economic crisis to this coun-
try.
The reactionary forces are lining
up their ranks and coming out openly
with the slogan of preparations for
war. BRAND has been carrying on
precisely this policy, but under the
more subtle phrases of peace" and
Economic unity of Europe"
1--WE are heading straight toward
war;" writes Bertrand de Jouvenal,
one of the leading French politicians.
He points out that all steps taken in
France were aimed toward war. He
protests, however, that war prepara-
tons have been too slow to please
him. He goes on to write; in his
article entitled "War!":-
Il am sorry for those statesmen
who, when new killing begins, will
have before these millions of new
dead no other excuse than that we
did not begin it,"
De Jouvenal sees the wrecking of
the European steel cartel as bring
ing war a step closer"
