POLITICS TRUCE
ENDS; TARIFF
FIGHT ON
Senators Robinson and Wat
son Renew War; Democrat
Says Revision Now Logical

The temporary political truce,
that accompanied negotiations of
the Hoover war debt moratorium
was ended today with Republican
and Democratic leaders clashing
over the tariff.
The Democrats opened the hos,
tilities with Senator Joe T. Robin
son Of Arkansas, their leader in
the Senate, appealing to Presi,
dent Hoover to propose a down
ward revision of the new tariff
law. He said:
"An announcement from the
President that the worst exac-
tiOnS of the Grundy tariff
would be corrected with his aid
and cOuntenance, would give
the same comfort to his own
cOuntrymen that his reparatiOns
moratorium was expected to
give to the staggering nations
Of Europe"
Watson Defends Act
Senator Watson, the Pepubli.
can leader of the Senate, imme.
diately charged Robinson with
starting the old grind of poll,
tics" Watson defended the tar,
iff as the "bulwark of American
economic independence" AMI de
clared any lowering of the tariff
wall would permit a flood Of
cheap European products 10 enter
this country.
The fervor with which the two
veteran political leaders discussed
the tariff gave another indication
that the recently enacted bill will
be an issue in the 1882 cam
paign. Throughout his statement
Robinson kept linking President
Hoover to the bill.
ChideS President
He lightly chided the President
for signing the measure latter
every important expert in the
field of economics" had warned
him that the bill would hurt our
foreign trade and vastly increase
unemployment" He added:
"A great part of the farm
er's woes is due to the dis
elimination practiced against
them in the Grundy bill. They
have been given protection on
commodities which by their
nature cannot be helped by
higher tariff duties, and they
have been mulcted and penal
lied by embargo rates on
everything they must buy"
To all of this. Watson replied:
Senator Robinson calls it
the 'Grundy Tariff Bill Why
Grundy didn't have as much
to do with it as Joe Robinson
himself. 1t is strange, but

FoIWer MCCormiCks Plan
Quiet Entry Into Social

CHICAGO, June 30.-The
former Fiji Stillman and her
new husband. Fowler McCor-
mick, Of the immensely wealthy
McCormicks, are coming home
to Chicago tomorrow, but it's to
be quiet affair, and as yet
there is no program for the in

Their home here will be a

Just a few doors away is the
mansion of Fowler McCOr-
mick's mother, Mrs. Edith
Rockefeller Mccormick. who is
but a few years older than the
young sons wife.
Are NewlywedS
The Fowler McCormicks were
wed several weeks ago shortly
after Fiji Stillman obtained di-
vorce from her banker husband.
It is recalled the StillmanS figured
in sensational court proceedings
some years ago, that their trou-
bles were patched up, only to be
followed recently with a final
separation, the sailing of Banker
Stillman for Europe, and the mar,
riage of his former wife.
Harold F.. Mccormick, father of
Fowler, visited the newlyweds as
they started on their honeymoon
in a Long Island cottage, but it
was said today he has made no
plans for a society reception here
and the Fowler McCormicks pre-,
ferred quiet entry into the Chi
cago Gold Coast.

CUSTOMS PACT
DOOM VERIFIED

GENEVA, Sept. 3 0.N.S).-Con-
vinced of the futility of fighting
further in the face of concerted
European opposition, Germany
and Austria today dropped their
projected customs union.
Announcement that the pact
had been definitely dropped was
made by Foreign Minister DR..
Johann Schober, Of Austria, and
Foreign Minister DR.. Julius Cur
thus, of Germany, before the Pan
European committee of the League
of Nations Council.
AS had been widely predicted,
the project was dropped before
the permanent Court of Inter
national Justice at the Hague
had returned its long-awaited
verdict as to whether the pro-
jected union violated the Treaty
of Versailles or the Geneva proto-
coils of 1922.
AS result of abandonment of
the customs union, France has
virtually eliminated Great Britain
as the directing political force in
European affairs.
France now is the banker OF
Europe. At Frances bidding,
Hungary was forced to bury her
hatred for France, turn out OF
office the hostile Premier Beth
len, and install the friendly Count
