2. SNOWDEN ATTACK . ROCKS DEBT MEET British Chancellor’s Bitter Attack on Delays Forces Showdown at Hague. (Continued From First Page.) Houtart, the Belgian finance minister, was sent to Mr. Snowden to inquire whether for the sake of good will the British chancellor would withdraw the stronger of the expressions which ho used this morning. Mr. Snowden said that in Englith his words bore no sin- ister connotatien and were not un- parliamentary, but if in his French he had conveyed any suggestion of dis- courtesy, he unhcsitatingly withdrew it.

Despite this concession to soothe the ruffied feelings of the continental and | Japanese diplomats, Mr. Snowden to- night. was entirely unrcpentant o far a< his general stand was concernca and was sald by members of his entourage to be looking forward jauntily to the secret meeting of the “Big Six" ~-Great Britain, France, Germany, Ttaly, Belgium and Japan—tomorrow | morning, at which dountless a concert- ed effort will be made to impre. him the enormity of his offen the traditions, both of verbiage procedure, of continental diplomacy. It became known tonight that the Belgian delegation las unofficially as- sumed the role of mediator, and is sug- gesting alterations in the distribution of the German annuities which will go some way toward meeling the British de- mands.

For years he has eriticized the se(tlement of World War debts, particularly the late conser- valive goreroment’s settlement with Frauce and Italy. In the background is Stanley Baldwin's settlement of (he British war debt to the United States. A few months ago in & scathing at ck on the government Snowden made & sensational denouncement of the principie of the famous Balfour note of | 1922, which is the rock upon which Britain has based all her war debt ne- gotiations, Balfour Note Called Infamous. | Calling the Balfour note “infamous” | Snowden said the Labor party never | _subscribed o its principles and declared the Labor party would hold itself open, | | i circumstances arose, to repudiate its conditions.

He stuck to his guns as he il‘ sticking in The Hague. MacDonald, then leader of the opposition, was called | to repudiate his colleague.

Outstanding among these reductions are the return of shingles and lumber, except in the case of certain hardwoods, to the free list. The duty on automobiles also was cut from 25 per cent plus 7 per cent compensatory duties to 10 per cent. The cut in wool duties have already bes { mentioned, and the duties on chemica! have been lowered slightiy. While there have bsen a few reduc- _tions in agricultural duties. the ma- | jority members of the committee have been generous In granting increases in the farm schedules. The tariff bill has firet to run the gamut of Senate consideration and a tion. Then it goes to conferencs, 1t is reasonable to expect a comprugnise measure from the conference between the two houses. Whether the con- ference bill will be such as to meet the approval of the President, who urged upon Congress a “limited revision” of the tariff. and of the people. remains to be seen. The long debate in the Senate on the tariff duties may have the effect o ci7stalizing opinion. In some Democratic quarters the be- lief prevails that the reductions made in the tariff duties by the Senste com- mittee are mere camoufiage, to m the country believe that the bill is right, and that after the bill has been agreed to in conference it will be prac- tically the Hawley bill. It may be said. however, that if such is the program. it will meet with des- perate resistance from some of the Re- publican progressives in the Senate. It also will be recalled that when Sen- ator Borah proposed in fhe Senate tn have the finance committee ‘confine it self, in considering ‘tariff revision. ro the agricultural schedule and relatee " schedulss. his resolution - single vote.

Naturally he does not desire to be ed in the position of having to veto & tariff bill passed by a Republics Congress. The influence of the Whi House in the interest of & more limited revision of the tariff than the Hawley bill may be expected to bear heavily on the Republicans of the Senate and on the conferees.

The debate of the tarift scheduler in the Sgnate. which promiser to be long enough. will be still further drawn out by attempts to place the so-called de- bedture plan of aiding the farmers in the bill, which will be led by Senators Norris and Brookhart, aided by Senator Borsh. and by discussions of an amend- ment proposed by Senator Glass of Vi ginia to levy a tax on stock trans- actions in which the stock is not heid for 60 days or more.
