— * BECIN REVRTING OF TARFF BIL Complicatéleask of Sen- . ate Republican Commit- il tee’ Under Way. Hearings on the so-called perma-| nent tariff bill having been brought: ¢ to a close, or practically 80, repub- llcan mgmbers of the Senate finance committee embarked today on what' 18 conceded to be the very difficult and complicated task of rewriting the Fordney bill. Before giving attention to rates the members will decide upon the underlying tarift policy. Several methods of coping with the unusual situation brought about by the depreciation and fluctuation o!’ foreign exchange have been suggest- ! ed to the committee. The House de- | cided upon a general Plan of assess- ing duties on the basis of the Ameri- ! can valuation of the articles mmort-& ed, but some administration leaders believe that the plan would be very difficult of administration and would in some instances constitute a virtual price-Aixing by the government, since customs appraisers would have to s, dotermine the American valuation on the imported articles. President Harding has suggested the ixing of maximum and minimum rates jth the chief executive given authors ity to change the duties between those limits as conditions may warrant from time to time. This proposal has met \# with the approval of some congressional ‘Jeaders and amendments to carry this plan into effect have been prepared by { Senator Smoot of Utah, ranking repub- . lican on the committee. ¥ " Another suggestion has been that the President be given authority to pro- Fraim tha valna of forelgn currency in terms of American currency as a LoF L6 dsavssins OF Lupurt duties. RUSSIAWELCONES - CHANGE AT GENOA Acceptance Says Authorita- tive Representatives Will Be Sent. By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, January 10.—Soviet Rus- sia will gladly send a delegation to the International Financial’and Economic Conference in response to the invita- tion from the allied supreme council, but it is extremely doubtful whether Premier Lenin himself will be able to go. Russia’s reply, sent by Forelgn Min- ister Chitcherin, expresses satisfaction at having received the invitation, and states the question of the appointment of the Russian delegation will be solved by an extracrdinary sitting of the central executive committee. M. Chitcherin’s note further points out that even if Premier Lenin should not be able to attend the conference, be- cause he is overloaded with work, chiefly concerned with the famine crisis, at any rate the Russian dele- gates’ powers would be equally as au- thoritative as if Lenin himself par- . ticipated. In some soviet circles it is said to be considered extremely improbable that Premier Lenin will leaye Russia. Not only is every moment of his time occupied with internal affairs, but in- ner soviet circles fear that he would face great personal danger if he were . outside of Russia. ‘The Russian delegation Dr@l.blf will be headed by M. Litvinoff and will include Leonid Krassin, soviet trade . representative, and M. Hogdanoff, chief of the economic council. SCORED BY LEADERS. Anti-Bolshevists in U. S. Say Rus- sians Are to Be Victims. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, January 10.—Two Rus- sian anti-bolshevist leaders now in this country as representatives of the executive committee of the all-Rus- stan constituent assembly last night issued a statement terming the invi- tation extended to Russia fj attend the economic conference at Genoa as “nothing but an agreement with the tyranny now riling Russia, for the benefit of foreign investors, at the ex- pense of the Russian people.” The two anti-bolshevist leaders signing the statement were Prof. Paul N. Miliukov, former minister of for- | elgn affairs in the Kerensky govern- ment, and Nicholas M. Arkzentiev, former minister of the interior. They * both asserted that the plan proposed by the supreme council of the league of nations at Cannes “tends to de- grade Russia to the state of a colony open to foreign exploitation, and the Rt people are sure to deeply re- sent their experiment as & new slav- ery for them.” LEAGUE OF NATIONS TWO YEARS OLD TODAY By the Associated Press. GENEVA, January 10.—The council © of. the league of nations convened here today, the second anniversary of its legal ecxistence, under the presi- dency of Paul Hymans. Several matters of a more or less routine nature were on the council's program, among them being the ques- tion of the status of Vilna, Albania and Upper Silesia. The council also probably will take up certain points concerning mandates in Africa and in the Pacific, as well as the security of Christians in Silicia and the Russian famine crisis. . The delegates to the council meet- Ing are: Cecil B. Harmsworth, under- secretary for foreign affairs, repre- senting Great Britain; M. Hanotaux, France; the Marquis Imperiali, Italy; ‘Viscount Ichii, Japan; Tang Tsai-Fau, China; M. Da Cunha, Brazil, and Count Quinones de Leon, Spain.
