THRFFREDUCTON 15 SEN N SEMATE House Rates Expected to Be Slashed by Finance Com- mittee Action. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. A reduction of tarift rates below those carried in the House bill by Sen- ate action is becoming increasingly more probable as the days go by. In- feod, the BUI a8 it comes from the Sen- (s finemce committee it now expected o ptorits [0r lower duties, in a number of imutances, than those carried in the ‘House bill. It that be true, then doubtless the rates will be cut still lower when the bill is considere.. in the Semate itself. For a majority of the Republican members of the finance committee, who in the end will draft the bill for report, are reckoned hard-bofled high protec- ‘tionists. ‘There are several reasons for this development in the tariff situation, a development which was not expected & few weeks ago. . Pirst, the reaction to the House bil throughout the country has been hos- tile. The press of the eountry, includ- ing many of the staunchest Republican newspapers, have attacked the mcasure. Becond, the Western farm States have been particularly antagonistic to the bill, because, while it gives increases in duties on agricultural products, it also has given many inereases in duties on manufactured ~and other products which the farmers must buy. ‘Third, President Hoover in hit mes- the Congress advocated a limited revision” of the existing tariff law, and it is known that the Chief Executive considers the House bill goes much beyond that mark. Near End of Work. Under the original plan of sul ttees of the Senal ‘eommittee which have been hearings on various schedules, were complete their work by July 10, permit- ting the full committes thereafter to hold heatings on the free list ‘and the administrative features of the bill. in- cluding the “flexible” tariff provisions. While most of the subcommittees will ‘have wound up their hearings by Wed- nesday, the chances are that one or more of them, particularly that subcom- mittee dealing with the metal schedule, will continue for some days longer. ‘The Senate is due to recopvene August 10. It is doubtful now that the committee will be ready to report its bill by the time the Senate reassembles, although Chairman Smoot will seek to havo‘ig in shape by that time. But one thing last night appeared reasonably certain in the tariff bill situ- ation. A vote will be had on the bill in the Senate and on the bill as it comes from conference between the two houses during the present special session and before the regular session opens in De- cember. This assurance was given by Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, one of the Demoeratic members of the finance committee. He insists there will be no effort on the part of the Demo- erats to fllibuster or unduly delay passage of the tariff bill. “We want full epportunity to discuss the tariff bill and we want the country fully informed in regard to it.” was Benator Harrison's comment yesterday, “but the minority party in the Senate to seek to prevent. this leg- islation filibustering tacties. The bill will be voted upon finally before the regular session begins in December.” Prediets ‘Hard Struggle. Senator Harrison looks forward, how- ever, to & hard struggle in the Senate over the bill. The sugar schedule, the administrative_features of the bill, in- cluding the flexible tariff provisions, end the duties on building materjals are | among the items which will in his opinion result in the most severe con- tests and ‘the longest debates. The Mississippl Senator announced he would demand the lication before long of the protests which foreign ernments have filed with the State partment against tariff increases and which Secretary Stimson has transmitted to Chairman Smoot of the finance committee. Protests have come from a score of nations. “If we are going to give offense to eertain foreign countries and are going to injure our own foreign trade by g about rataliatory measures on the part of other nations, before such steps are taken, the American people are entitled to know all the facts in the matter,” said’ Senator Harrison. The details of the protests lodged with the State Department against proposed American tariff increases have never yet been made public, Senator Harri- son said, nor have they been laid be- fore the full membership of the finance committee. 1t is expected that Benator Emoot make lic before long the slid- ing scale of sugar duties, which he has pre] for submission to the com. mittee. He is authority for the state- ment that this sliding scale will pro- vide for duties somewhat lower these in the sugar schedule of the House bill. The Democrats so far have taken no position with d to the prvmnl for a sliding e of sugar duties. They want to know what it is and at just what point it will begin to slide.” In other words, they fear that the rates may be left as high as the House bill on sugar, but tha der certain rocedure finsnce holding, in the future warrant it. Senator ham of Connecticut, Re- publican m: r of the finance com- mittee, is one of those committeemen t|son of San comes o the details of the lower rates, however, there is not yet much predic- tion at hand. It may be presumed, however, that some of the rates car- in the House bill which have been most severely criticized will be among those in which reductions will be made. Conference Fight Is Seen.

OHICAGO, July 6.—Heavy clouds, rain, high winds and low visibility were combined again today over the vast un- inhabited reaches of Northeastern Can- ada and the crew of the Untin Bowler, impatient to continue their flight to Berlin by way of Greenland and Ice- land, were forced to remain inactive Great Whale, a Hundson Bay Co. post on the Great Whale River, which they reached on Friday. Pilots Robert Gast and Parker D, Cramer, and Robert Wood, the reporter of the. trip, were under strict orders to make the elements work with rather than against them from the time they left Chicago, and these were confirmed in special messages when it became known here that flying conditions would be unfavorable today. ‘The weather report issued for the fiyers in the morning indicated that it would have been little less than fool- hardy for & plane to attempt the passage over the dreary wastes of Un- gava. It was the plan of the pilots to guide themselves over this poorly chartered territory by the streams until they reached Ungava Bay, which they could skirt on a northeastward swing to Port Burwell on Cape Chidley, stheir next stop. Attempt Dangerous, Low visibility would have rendered this attempt, dangerous.

From Bur- well to Mount Evans, Greenland, cloudy and rainy with mostly southwest to west winds, moderate to fresh at sur- face, mostly strong aloft.” No message had been received from the ‘Untin’ Bowler since the landing at Great Whale two hours before noon Friday.

The fiyers will come down on the fjord off the landing at Camp Lloyd, which is seperated from Mount Evans by a rocky trail 3 miles long. Our aerologist, L. R. Schneider, with his assistant, Evans Schmeling, and s strong Eskimo, Enok, are now camped at the landing and have already set up and maintain service a field radio outfit for trans- mitting to Mount Evans. “They have several boats available, which may be of use in landing the plane. All plans are made to release cing. “Plloting balloons will be sent up. and a report given of the winds aloft, so that conditions for flying at all levels will be available before taking off.” Hear Nothing Today. Port Burwell, which had reported on Priday hearing the Bowler's signals per- fectly while the landing at Great le was being made, sent reports at two- hour intervals today to say nothing was heard from Cramer. If a start had been made this station almost certainly would have heard the noise of the gen- erator even if Cramer had failed to broadcast any message. The Weather Bureau made no attempt to téll when conditions would improve sufficiently to warrant a take-off. Wil- liam 8. Carlson, who spent 14 months in Greenland and is now advising the Chi- cago Tribune on to) phical matters and interpretations of weather maps, advanced a bellef that conditions on Greenland would probably be good by the 10th to the 14th of July.

I found President Coolidge ever attentive, sympathetic and wholehearted in his support. “Have you seen the director of .the budget about this?” he would ask of Senators and Representatives who came to him with requests that certain rec- ommendations of the budget director be_modified or overruled. - Their reply, in Mr. Coolidge's early days as esident, almost invariably was in the negative. “Then go see him" the President would direct. “Take the matter up with him.

I can now recall, without dis- cussing the subject with the budget director. That attitude on the President's part, led members of Congress to take up such subjects with the Budget Bureau, where they were discussed in friendly co-operation.

When Aldridge made his death-bed statement he told the police that he knew he was dying and wanted to “con- fess everything” g0 he might go with a clear conscience.

The offi- cers who questioned him are convinced he went to his death determined to shield his companion and to aid him in his escape dble. When Ald- ridge broke out of the penitentiary, he was serving a 10-year sentence for aiding another prisoner to escape. The fact that the initials in the hat do not correspond with the name given by Aldridge as that of his companion lent credence to the belief held by police that the man they want is known by some other name.

Although Aldridge said he and his companion came to Washington for the first time Friday, Lieut. Kelly said he believed they had been here for some time.

S.-Vatican Rela- tions Is Discussed in Official Circles. By the Associated Press. ‘The action of President Hoover in re- Mgr. Pumascon! Biondi, apos< elegate in the United States, at the White House last week has revived speculation in official and diplomatio circles regarding the status of Ameri- | can-Vatican relations. ‘There has been considerable discus- ‘sion in these circles over the fact that ‘Mfl. Biondi delivered to the President |8 copy of the Lateran treaty recently | 'ween the Vatican and Italy, in which the latter recognized the sov- ereignty of the Papal State. Called Customary Visit. ‘The visit was described in Catholic circles here as the customary visit which the delegate pays after the Presi- dent_assumes office, Mgr. Biondi, who has been in Rome in connection with the Mexican church settlement almost since March 4, does not lomatic rank which is rec- ognized by the American Government. While the visit itself was emphasized in high administration circles to indi- cate no intention of recognition of the | Vatican by the United States, it was |sald at the State Department today | there is no doubt that the United Btates now is officially aware of the existence of the sovereignty of the Vatican. The department, so far as it could be learned in the absence of Secretary | Stimson and other high officials, did not | arrange the call of Mgr. Biondi at the ‘White House. Not Held Significant. American officials in TItaly fully in- formed the department of the progress {of the Lateran treaty negotiations while they took place recently in‘ e and the delivery of the copy of thetreaty to the President by Mgr. Biondi was not regarded as significant by most depart- ment officials. Heretofore the Washington Govern- ment has been extremely cautious in avoiding diplomatic incidents - which might lead to intimations of recognition | of & state which the United States did not desire to recognize. Several years ago, Foreign Minister Tchitcherin of Russia sent a cablegram direct to the White House suggesting the opening of negotiations looking to- ward the establishment of relations be- | tween the United States and the Soviet. Charles Evans Hughes, then Secretary | of State, did not reply directly to the { Te! ‘herin note, but made the attitude | of the United States known through a | public statement. The State Depart- ment had decided that in this way it would avoid suggestions of de facto recognition of Russia, which might fol- low communications passing between the Washington and Moscow govern- ments. Revolution Stand Is Cited. In cases where revolutionary parties have sent missions to Washington dur- ing a revolt, the State Department has constantly maintained a policy of mon- recognition of the ‘“special commis- sioners,” as they are usually designated. There are two kinds of recognition | between governments. One is “de jure” recognition, which is formal and usu- ally includes the exchange of diplo- matic representatives. On the other hand, there is “de facto” recognition, in which the sovereignty of a state is recognized by the singling out of a Elenlflfllr fact. Officials of the State partment, in fllustrating “de facto” recognition, used the hypothetical case of an American citizen becoming in- volved in the aftermath of a revolt in another country. Although the United States might not give *de jure” recog- | nition to this government. the Ameri- can representative might appeal to the new administration to fully protect American lives and property.” In the opinjon of international lawyers, this recognition of police powers would con- stitute “de facto” recognition. There wes a decided impression in official and diplomatic circles, however, that there is no intention on the part { of the Washington Government to send a representative to the Vatican. Some 80 years the United States sent & charge d’affaires to the Holy See and three other representatives followed in the position or as ministers-resident, until Ttaly annexed the Vatican State 20 years later. —_———— 'ROCKEFELLER AT 90 TO MISS OLD FRIEND | Worcester Warner, Who Died Re- cently in Germany, Bronght Annual Felicitations. - By the Associated Press.
