NOVPARTY THR HELDINPOSSBLE 6. 0. P. National Commit- tee Declares Move Backed by Free Trade interests. Charging that “the agitation of so- called non-partisan tariff _organiza- tions Is bagked by free trade inter- ests” the -republican national com- mittee has sent out through its pub- licity bureau a statement insisting that a non-partisan tariff is an eco- nomic impossibility. The statement is regarded as im- portant, as indicating the position of the republican national political or- ganization this question, appar- ently showing a cleavage of opinion among republicans on the subject. An amendment, offered by Semator Fre- linghuysen. high protectionist and ad- ministration supporter, to the puq‘ ing tariff bi'l favers a non-partisan scientific tariff. The statement seems to have been called forth by the activities of the recently created organization for “An American Non-Partisan cientific i which has opened a burcau a slogan_is “Take the tariff out of politics.” The mem- bers of the prel organization commitice are officials of many in- dustrial organizations, including the Manufacturers’ Association of ~New Jersey. the Associated Industries of Massachuset the National Wool Growers’ Association, the American Farm Bureau Federation, the Indiana Manufacturers’ Association, the Ohio Menufacturers’ Association. the Illi- nois_Manufacturers’ Association, and the Michigan Manufacturers' Associa- tipn. ton. Its Co-Operation Held Vital. The opening announcement of this preliminary organization states that “only through intensive co-operation between industry, commerce, agricul- ture and labor can a just and equita- ble tariff be accomplished that will secure the economic progress of the United States and render it free trom disastrous upheaval The statement of the republigan na- tional committee contends that “there cannot be such a thing as a non- dr‘ tisan tariff in the United States. is because there are in this country two scpools of thought, which differ fun- dementally and radically as to the proper scope and functions of a tariff. First, a school which believes a tariff should be written merely for the pur- pose of providing revenue; second, a &chool which believes that in addition to providing revenue. tariff should be used as a means for protecting Amer- jcan industries and keeping out de- structve forelgn competition. The statement goes on to say “there can be no middle ground between these two postiions. A tariff is either a pro- tective tariff or it is not. The demo- cratic party has been traditionally the party for tariff for revenue only—that is. free trade. The republican party has been the party which has always staod for a tariff which furnished both Tevenue to the government and protec- tion to American industries.” The statement also cont s that “no tariff commission can be non-partisan. 1t muet be either wholly partisan one way or the other, or bi-partisan. In elaborating that assertion the state- ment says: Twofold Problem. “Any so-called non-partisan commis- sion created for the purpose of writing a so-called non-partisan tariff would of necessity first have to make a decision a8 to which kind of a tariff it was going to write—a tariff for revemue or a pro- tective tariff. “If the commission were divided be- tween these two schools of thought it would immediately get into a par- tisan discussion within its own mem- bership as to which tariff it would recommend and propose. If the com-| mission were -all of the belief in a tariff for revenue only it would be solldly democratic. If. on the other hand, it were all of the belief in a protective tariff it would be wholly republican. In either of these two events it would be partisan in the extreme.” The interesting phase of all this to republicans at the Capitol is the question whether the republican na- tional committee is assuming a stand- pat protectionist stand on the tariff as opposed to the spreading move- ment in the party ranks for lessen- ing of tariff rates and their construc- tion along lines other than sheer pro- tectionist. WORLD WAR MEN WILL VISIT BATTLEFIELDS NEW YORK, July 6—A pilgrimage to the battlefields on which they fought four years ago has been ar- ranged for several hundred former service men by the American Legion.

OCEAN’S BOTTOM Extensive plains and table lands bordered by rspuntsins at the bot- tom of the sea, some of which rise more than 4,000 feet above the plains, have been disclosed to the Navy Department through sound- ings taken by the destroyer Stew- art with a new sounding device on a crujse just completed from New- port to Gibraltar. The device, which operates on the principle of timing a “reflected echo,” was perfected by Dr. Har- vey C. Hayes, physicist of the en- gineering experimental station at Annapolis, and is expected to revo- lutionize piloting and navigation. An outline of trade routes through its use should give “any number of landmarks at the bottom of the sea for use in finding a ship's po- sition, announcement by the Navy Department of the tests conducted by the Stewurt states. More than 900 soundings were made during nine days consumed in the trip from Newport to Gi- braltar of fromn twenty minutes to two minutes’ frequency while steaming at fifteen knots an hour. Soundings may be made in deep or shallow water without the use of a lead or other castings overboard, the announcement said. Several deep depressions at the bottom of the sea were found that have never been shown on charts and positive depths daja were ob- tained where charts showed only negative data in the vicinity of the Azores. CAN DELAY TARIFF DESPITE CLOTURE Not Democrats, However, Filibustering, Senator Underwood Says. . BY DAVID LAWRENCE. If the democrats really wanted \ delay the passage of the pendiny tariff bill the adoption of a.dozem cloture rules couldn’t prevent it There are more than 1,200 amendments proposed by the republican members of the Senate finance committee, and all the democrats would have to do would be to demand a roll call on each amendment when the vote is taken, or ‘eall for a quorum. and the actus. time consumed in that process, irre. spective of incidental debate would postpone the final vote for at least two or three months. But Senator Underwood, democrativ leader, told this correspondent today that the democrats have absolutely no intention of filibustering by that method or any other. He insisted that the adoption of the cloture rule would hurt the republicans more than would help them because by limit- ing the debate to one hour for each senator it would be impossible for the bill to get thorough consideration. Fe wmen in the Senate are equipped | with sufficient information to debate A tariff bill. The rank and file de- pends upon these experts to do the debating. While much of the talk futile, as the republicans have enough votes to pass any bill thus far shows that as & consequence of discussion. the republicans have corrected many of their own mistakes and in some cases ‘the republican ma- jority has failed to support the finance ccmmittce recommendation and beaten their amendments. Twelve hundred amendments are still to be considered. They did not come from the democrats, but from the republi. n members of the finance commi tee. Should a cloture rule be en- forced most of these amendments would have to be passed over with- out debate on their merits. No Rival Amendmen Apart from the 1,200 republican amendments, the democrats have not had a chance to present any at all. They naturally want the opportunity that is given a minority party to make out a case against ‘he bill and justity their votes. Indeed. the demo- crats would rather have that chance than see the bill defeated, for they figure the passage of the bill will be of political value to them at the polls this autumn. just as the minor- ity party has always benefited at an election immediately after the pas- sage of a tariff law. Responsibility for the delay thus far is diffieult to fix. The amendments emanated from republican sources; democrats and republicans have con- sumed time in debating them. Th= bill is not vet in shape for passage. Even its champlons will concede :Fat it will be improved by further study and that the debate may be helpful. In fact. two of the most important schedules—those on wool and cotton —have not yet been touched. Demo- cratic Jeaders predict that the repub- licans will not venture to go before the, country with hastily consldered chédules on wool and cotton, and vet, under a cloture rule, the debate would not only be limited as to sec- tions or provisions, but each senator would only have an hour. This means a total of ninety-six hours for debate, or a total of twelve working days of eight hours each. Sixty Ready to Vote. The canvass today showed that about sixty senators are ready to vote for a cloture rule. Sixty-four are needed to pass, as a two-thirds vote is required. Three democrats will vote with the republicans because they favor the pending bill—they hail from states which are anxious for the imposition of certain duties in the bill. But there are at least three re publicans and possibly more who will not vote for cloture. Developments over night may change the situation, of course, but the last poll showed an {pufMclent number to pess the rule. he hope of some of the republicans is that the defeat of the cloture rule may be attributed to the democrats, and thus the responsibility for de- laying the measure imposed uDON|pound; prepared or preserved, 40 per |133 years, them. To the suggestion that it would be wiser for the democrats to ald the cloture rule and hurry the tariff bill’s passage In its present form the demo- crats reply that they feel it their duty to propose certaln amendments as a record of their effort to change the bill before its passage and that if they supported cloture it would seem as if they favored the adoption of the bill as it stands. Purely as a move to hurry things up and cut off unnecessary debate, the petition for cloture may have a good effect, though it would not be suf- prising if a vote on the rule were postponed and a compromise agree- ment resched eventually fo more eficient handling of the time that “Tm really to be given to the r maining provisions of such an im- portant plece of legislation.

' Renewing discussion of the republi- can petition for cloture on the tarift bill, Senator Harrison, democrat, Mis- sissippl, told the Senate today demo- crats had planned when the sugar sched- ule was deached “to expose the deal at- tempted to be put ovr,” by Snator Smoot of Utah, ranking republican on the fi- nance committee, whereby Cuba would have restricted its sugar production in return for lower tariff duties on that ‘commodity. He argued that this was one of the reasons why the republicans wanted to cut off discusgion on the tariff. Senator Harrison charged that Sena- tor Smoot had written a letter to Maj. Gen. Enoch H. Crowder, representative of the American government in Cuba, with a view to “strangling Cuba Into a contract to restrict its sugar crop to 2,500,000 tons and in return was to re- celve a tariff not so high as that pro- posed.” YROERW O “Insufficient Time.” “We wouldn't have the time, under the cloture rule, to read the letter to Gen. Crowder and the contract that was attempted to be put into effect, dcelared Senator Harrison. The Mississippl senator read from addresses of various republican sena- tors delivered in 1918 and opposing a cloture proposed at that time by the TAKE 90 IN CRIM they please. | nevertheless the record of the debate | democrats, and which would have lim- ited general debate to one and one- half hours to each senator and dis- cussion of each amendmetn to twenty minutes for each senator. Among others he quoted from a speech by the then Senator Harding, in which Mr. Harding declared that “the free- dom of debate in the United States Senate is one of the highest guaran- lees we have of American institu- ons.” Quotes From Republicans. Scnator Harrison also_quotes from 8peecheé by Chairman McCumber of the. finance committee, who offered _ie, cloture petition yesterday. and Scnutors Smoot, Kellogg of Minne- Hale of Maine, Lodge of Massa- chusetts and Watson of Indiana. The speaker declarcd Senator Lodge was but following his “parliamentary Ju pitsu” in supporting cloture now. “He is keeping up his stride of hanging Lis opinion on all questions that come before the Senate,” declared {Mr. Harrison. , umlng to Scnator Watson's 1918 speech, Senator Harrison said the In- diana member was “an adroit poli- Jtician.” who knew “the tariff bill will not stand the attacks from this side and {rom others there (the republican He wants to forcstall debate,” con- tinued Senator Harrison, “so the peo- ple won't know the infamous charac- ter of this bill.” Cloture Debate Heated. The motion for cloture, signed by fifty-two republican senators, was presented to the Senate late yvester- day and immedfately precipitated a | heated discussion, the democrats at- tacking the proposal and the repub- licans defending it. Although a number of senators are absent from Washington, which would cut down the number necessary for a two-thirds majority, some of those behind the cloturemovement doubted that it would succeed. Sena- tor Lodge of Massachusetts, the re. publican leader, told the Senate that if it did not, it ‘then would be for the republicans to decide whether they would lay aside the tariff and fight for a majority cloture rule, or force the Senate to resume night sessions as a means of speeding up a final vote on the tariff. All except eight of the sixty repub- licans in the Senate signed the peti- tion. Those eight were: La Follette, | Norris, Johnson, Moses, Borah, Bran- degee, Crow and Weller. Immediately the petition was presented by Chair man McCumber of the finance com- mittee it brought a protest from Sen- fator Underwood of Alabama, the democratic_ leader, who said the | democrats had “courteously" consent- ed to the committee's request that its amendments be considered first and { that it was not fair for the majority to come in now and propose to take away from the minority their right to propose amendments. Assalls Gag Rule. The democratic leader said that every item in the bill was of interest to some business concern of the coun- try; that practically all of them were of interest to the consumers and that the majority should propose some rule which would meet the situation and not merely a gag rule. | “The idea of discussing 1,000 amend- ments in sixty minutes!” he ex- claimed. “Gentlemen on the other side had better suggest that we have no further debate.” | “senator Robinson, democrat, Ar- kansas, in a vigorous speech, raised ithe issue of good faith in the pres- entation of the petition. “Every senator knows,” he sald, “that the motion just submitted can- not prevail. If the proponents of this rule believe it would be adopted they would not dare submit it.” After some sharp controversies, but {by overwhelming majorities, the Sen- !ate approved yesterday tariff duties on a number of California products, including a rate of 15 cents a pound on shelled almonds, which was the subject of a somewhat heated ex- changs between Senators Johnson, re- publican, California, and Lenroot, re- publican, Wisconsin. Lenroot Demands Reduetions. Opposing the committee rate as “ynjustified,” but announcing his will- ingness to support the House duty of 12 cents, Senator Lenroot gave no- tariff bill “unless some of these high rates be brought down to-somewhere within reason.” Other duties approved by the Sen- ate included: Figs, dried or in brine, 2 cents 2 pound; prepared or preserv- ed, 40 per cent ad valorem. Raisins, 2% cents a pound; cur- rants, Zante or other, 2 cents a pound. in natural state or in brine, 1 cent a pound; grape- f of one cent a pound. of all kinds, unshelled, 4 cents a pound; shelled, 12 cents a pound. Dates, fresh or dried, one cent a cent ad valorem. ———— 20 OFFICERS RETIRED. Col. Hugh D. Berkeley Ordered to Await End of Service. Col. Hugh D.

DOMESTIC COINAGE FOR YEAR IS REDUCED Gold Pieces and Silver Dollars In- crease While Subsidiary Coins Decline. Total domestic coinage of the United States during the fiscal year just ended fell off by more than 350,000,000 pleces, as compared with the previous year, ‘according to s summary of operations issued yesterday by the mint. During the fiscal year 1922 there were 105,996,175 coins turned out by the various mints of the country. with a total value of $145.712.742. against 462,420,140 coins worth $38 586.540 in 1921. Coinage of gold plecas and standard siiver dollars {ncre: during the past year, but the output of sub- sidiary coins declined heavily, officials explained, because the Treasury has a large stock of these coins which the banks, on account of business a se iin hi in to fe! turned to the pre-war basis of operat- | ing on an eight-hour day. Gold coinage during 1922 amounted to 2,659,516 pieces, worth $53,000,016, while no gold was colned in 1921. Standard silver dollars coined during the past year totaled 92,388,473, against 19,043,000 in 1921 the Treas- ury now being engaged In replacing the sllver sold to Great Britain during the war under the Pitt, act. There were no half dollars, quarter dollars .or dimes coined during the year just closed, while in the pre- vious year there were about 8,000, 000 half dollars, over 21,000,000 Quar- ter dollars and 40,000,000 dimes coined. During 1922 there were 1,447,000 five-cent pieces and 9,181,000 pennies colned, as against 60,448.000 five-cent pieces and 313,207,000 pennies in 1921. Coinage executed by the mint for other governments during .the past year was as follows: Costa Rica, 16.- 030 gold pieces; Colombia, 3,000,000 silver pieces; Venezuela. 3,900,000 sil- ver pleces, and Indo-China, 5,000,000 eilver pieces. NEW CUSTOMS RECORD. $356,443,387 Total for Past Year Beats 1910 by $23,000,000. Customs receipts during the past fiscal year were the highest in 133 years, according to & statement last night by Elmer Dover, assistant sec- retary of the Treasury, in charge of collection of the revenues. “The United States customs receipts for the fiscal year just ended,” he sald, amount to $366,443,387, which is an increase of $48,418,285 over last year. The highest previous year in the history of the customs, covaFing wi 1910, when amounted to $333.683,445, receipts for this year are nearly $23, 000,000 in excess of the largest pre- vio! ear. ‘Thls’ result may be taken as an indication and result of a general improvement in business. For several ears our importations wére at the owest ebb, but the revival of bu ness in this country hag produced a corresponding increase in importa. tions. While this is undoubtedly the rincipal cause, some credit is due o the reorganized customs service, which is now at its highest standard. THEATER CASE MONDAY. U. S.
