FLETCHER CHOSEN
ARMS DELEGATE
Extensive Diplomatic Expert
enCe of Retiring Tariff OFF,
ciaI to Be Utilized.

The diplomatic experience Of Henry
P. Fletcher will be utilized next in
Americas efforts to effect a general re-
duction Ct ornaments.
1t was learned yesterday that the re-
firing chairman of the Federal Tariff
Commission is to be delegate to the
Arms Conference in Geneva next Feb
ruary under auspices Of the League OF
Nations He is considered the most
likely possibility for chairman of the
delegation if Secretary of State Stlmson
is not one of its members.
President Hoover has said nothing
about it publicly, but those who should
know say he has definitely decided upon
Fletcher, whose retirement as chairman
of the Tariff Commission comes No
vember 80.
In whatever capacity he goes, how
ever, the Greencastle, Pa, native will
be at home when the statesmen gather
either in the formal atmosphere Of a
plenary session or in the informal
gatherings where much of the real work
is done under the eddy of tcbacco
smoke.
20 Years in Statecraft.
He has spent almost % of his So
years in statecraft. He was Undersec-
rotary of State during the Washington
Arms Conference in 1921 and 1922. He
was Ambassador to Italy from 1924 to
1929. He headed the American delega-
ton to the Pan-American Conference
at Havana in 1928. He was Ambassadc r
to Mexico during the trying times OF
the World War-to mention only the
more important posts he has held since
Roosevelt sent him to Cuba as second
secretary to the American legation in
1902.
He is likely to prove a steadying IN
fluence if diplomatic tempers wear thin
under the pressure OF work and dis
agreement.
Few have seen Henry Fletcher eX-
cited. He turned a Mexican crowd
ieers into cheers once by smiling quip
and ne is given credit for clearing away
much partisan antagonism on the Tariff
Commission. His sense of humor rarely
deserts him.
He wanted to go to Princeton after
finishing public school in Greencastle
but his pocketbook would not permit 1t
He studied law and was admitted to The
bar at 81.
With Rough Riders.
The Spanish War was re-
sponsible for his entry into diplomacy
He served with Roosevelt's Rough Riders
and the strenuous colonel liked his
fighting style and his good humor of
the field
His appearance goes with his DISPOSE
ton. Rudy faced, gray haired and OF
medium height, he is an immaculate
dresser. Like President Hoover, he IA
vors a double-breasted blue suit. and
with 1t he generally wears a fawn-
colored waistcoat.
Callers at his Office. strangers or &C
quaintances, have little difficulty IN
getting in unless the pressure of his
work is unusual
He likes to talk golf and his game is
good. Just now he is interested in re-
placing 35 trees on his Greencastle es-
tate which were killed by the drought
last year.

FAVOR
INCOME TAX BOOST
Congressional Leaders Wait
Hoover Program to Bare
Plan Details.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The prospect of a big boost in taxes
on large scale incomes and inheritances
grew today as Democratic leaders in
Congress worked on a party financial
program.
Although they do not intend to COM
plete the program until after they learn
what President Hoover intends to ask
of Congress, there was every indication
the Democrats would commit themselves
to finding in the higher income brackets
the revenue relief needed by the Gov
eminent.
The importance of the Democratic
program lies particularly in the pros
pect that the party will control the
House There all revenue, legislation
must originate, and it will be drafted
by the ruling majority.
Big Incomes Defended.
The Republicans also are in general
agreement that a tax increase must be
made, but a good many still are OPP
posed to bearing down on big incomes.
Chairman Smoot of the Senate Finance
Committee, for instance, has proposed
increasing income taxes all along the

KEY TO SITUATION
None of League Powers Has

ManChuria.
BY PAUL SCdTT MowRER.

BY Gable to The Star
PARIS, France, November 21.z-The
whole situation of the League OF Ma
tions Council in its effortsfto deal with
the Manchurian crisiSp seems now to
depend on a plain declaration Of policy
on the part of the United States.
All the League powers are strongly
Interested in preserving and making eff
fective the League covenant, the KEEL
,logg pact and peace pactS in general.
But not one of them has a direct
national interest to keep Japan from
grabbing Manchuria. On the con-
trsry, the two leading powers on the
council and the only two with extern
sive Far Eastern interests, namely.
Great Britain and France. look on the
whole China question much as Japan
does and are by no means alarmed
at the idea Of extension of the Japa-
nese sphere in Manchuria.
The United States, on the other hand,
is one of two great powers, the other
being the Soviet Union, which not only
profess strong interest in preserving
"OAA0 PIaNCy wv dAoO dlG UG-lCNEO "
have under the existing treaties what
amounts TO direct interest in opposing
any new expansion of Japan's political
hold on Manchuria or any other part Of
China.
Weak Resolution Results.
When, therefore, the japanese troops
first acted, September l8, the League
Council Immediately got in touch with
the United States. At the Council meet
ing, in September the influence of the
United States was exerted to hold the
Council back. The Council, in accord
ance with League precdnentS, had begun
to discuss the sending of an Inquiry
Commission to the spot, and the fixing
of an arbitrary date Tor the japanese
withdrawal into the South Manchurian
railway zone.

BUFFALO, N. Y, November al
Silas H. Strawn, president of the United
States Chamber of Commerce, believes
the "evil factors" of the present period
of financial troubles are being allowed
to eclipse the Importance of the coun-
trys natural resources and the courage
and enterprise of its citizens.
Speaking last night at dinner given
the directors and officers of the United

Buffalo Chamber, Mr.. Strawn asked
abiding confidence in the fundamental
soundneSs of our American institutions,
in the enduring principles of our Gov
eminent" to counterfeit the influence of

He declined to talk about the eco

was already exhausted, and that bust

AMERICAN GOODS
Tariff to Be EquaIized by En-
pIoying CountervaiIing
Rates.
L0ND0N'S NEW MEASURE
IN EFFECT WEDNESDAY
Places so Per Cent Levy on Ger
tain Articles Imported From
This Country.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Government prepared today to
raise its tariff on British products to
any level Great Britain lifts against
| American commodities.
Immediate imposition Of this plan
was disclosed at the Treasury, where
it was explained that the Hawley-
| Smoot tariff act provides for the en-
ployment Of countervailing duties to
equalize the rates charged against
American products by foreign nations,
The new British anti-dumping meas
ure going into effect next Wednesday
raises a barrier of so per cent rates
against certain importations from the
United States.
Experts Making Up List.
Commerce and Treasury officials are
busy listing British commodities i'm
ported into this country on which the
countervailing duties will be invoked.
The Department of Commerce keeps
a close check on duties imposed by for
eign countries When any are in
creased it notifies the Customs Bureau,
which at once orders its collectors to
impose similar duty on such articles
imported from that country.
F. x. A. Eble, commissioner Of Gus
toms today ordered that instructions be
prepared to be sent to all collectors
notifying them of the listing in prepa-
rations and that the duties would be-
come effective as soon as British duties
are increased.
Collier Sees Retaliation.
Meanwhile, Representative Collier,
Democrat, Mississippi, who likely will
be chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee If Democrats organize said
he was mot at all surprised by the
new British rates on American prod
ucts
1T is just another evidence Of re-
talietion against the extreme and I'M
just rates in the American Hawley-
Smoot act" he said. You can't ex-
pect people to trade with you when you
won't trade with them"
Collier cited as other illustrations Of
retaliation the Canadian and Italian
tariffs recently put into effect.
Representative Hawley of oregon,
who was chairman of the last Ways
and Means Committee and coauthor Of
the present American schedules said
There Is no justification for any state
ment that Britain's tariff is retaliatory.
The incoming Congress certainly will
not take part in tariff war;
List Is Being Rushed.
Customs collections under the tariff
law are administered by the Treasury
and are under the direction of Lowman.
He said today every effort was being
made to hasten the preparation Of the
list of articles upon which the duties
will be increased to equal the British
duties. He expected that it would be
ready and the increases in force By the
time that the new British duties will
go into effect.

NEW YORK, November 81 (N.AN.A).
Plans for the recovery of articles of
great value from the wreck of the liner
Lusitania were announced here last
night by D. B. Lewis, treasurer of the
Lake Railey Lusltania expedition, the
headquarters of which are in this city.
The originators of the scheme to SAL
wage objects OF interest from the ia
nous vessel, which was torpedoed off
the Head of Old Kinsdale, Ireland, on
May 7, 1915, are Simon Lake, the sub
marine builder and inventor, and Capt.
H. H. Railey, who was the personal rep
resentative of Admiral Byrd during the
Antarctic expedition. Mr.. Lewis said
that the latter will be the leader OF the
