IRFE STUATON S HELD CLEARE | Factions Are Believed Ready| | to Accept Rates in Three Broad Groups. As the Senate approaches its brief recess, the tariff situation is clarified to a greater degree than appears on the surface. As respects rates, what all the factions now want or are willing to accept is substantially the same, though | for reasons of political psychology, they | are reluctant to make agreements or to seem agreed before the public eye. | What is here said applies to rates, | though not to the debenture plan of the flexible provision. ‘The rates may be divided into three broad groups. The first is the rates on agricultural products. As to those, all three factions now subscribe in the main to the rates demanded by the ‘Western Progressives in the Senate. The farmers are going to get roughly the rates their Senate representatives have proposed. ‘The only faint question about the agricultural rates at present is a small one within the Western group itself. Some of them fear that a few are de- manding agricultural rates so high as to destroy their own purpose, or so high |as to cause an unfavorable reaction from the public. When Senator Brook- hart of Iowa proposed an extremely ' high rate on oats, objection was voiced | ,in almost harsh tetms by his fellow- | progressive, Senator Norbeck of South Dakota. Similarly, another of the West- ern Progressives, Blaine of Wisconsin, | has made some extremely energetic re- marks about the height of some of the ll-rm rates proposed by other Progres- | sives. Disagreement Is Outlined, Such disagreement as there now is | about farm rates being in some cases | too high, is within the Western pro- gressive group itself, It should be added that a few of the Western Pro- gressives' Democratic allies, notably Senator Copeland of New York and Senator Walsh of Massachusstts, feel that some of the farm rates on food go |so far as to invite resentment from | consumers. The net about farm rates is that | whatever farm rates the Western Pro- | gressives agree upon will be accepted, with no serious opposition by the other factions. They will be accepted by the Democrats because the great bulk of {the Democrats in the Senate already have voted for them. They will be ac- cepted by that two-thirds of the regular Republicans in t] 'nate who compose what is called the “young guard.” The “young guard,” many of them from the Midwest always have believed in | satisfactorily high rates for the farmer. If there is any Senate opposition what- ever to the farm rates proposed by the Western Progressives, it will come from the not more than six or eight “old guard” leaders who have been rather exiled by the “new guard.” As Respects House, the leaders of that body also are prepared to accept, without any material exception, the farm rates pro- | posed by the Western Progressives in the Senate. Industrial Rates May Divide. Other than farm rates, the industrial rates may be divided into two groups. One is the industrial rates that have so far been opened up by either the House or the Senate, or both. As to these also there is identity of point of view on the part of the three factions. All three are ready, speaking broadly, to accept these rates in their latest form, which is the form to which they have been brought by the coalition in the Senate. ‘This is subject to only such ex- ceptions as can be taken care of in con- ference. ‘The coalition leaders realize that some of the industrial rates they have made have been illogical. The rough standard according to which the coali- tion in the Senate has made industrial | rates is, in effect, the standard of exist- ing rates in the McCumber-Fordney law in effect since 1922. In some cases, the coalition’s new industrial rates are | higher and in some cases lower than these existing rates. In general, the coalition in its in- dustrial rate-makig has been guided by the status in existence since 1922. ‘Where a convincing case can be made out for an increase, the coalition has been willing to adopt it. They will continue in the same spirit in the ulti- mate conference between House and Senate. This formula for the industrial rates, the status of the 1922 law ac- companied by changes for which there is convincing evidence, is now accepted by the two-thirds of the Republican regulars who compose the “new guard” in the Senate. It is also accepted by THE EVENING those leaders who are able to speal with confidence about the attitude of the House. Proposals Are Cited. ‘The remaining group of indusirial rates consists of those industrial rates which have not already been subjected to attempted modification ‘n the s - ent tariff session. These will be left where they are. That is, they will be left as they are in the Fordney-Me- Cumber law of 1922. At one time the coalition in the Senate wanted to open up all these rates and in the main re- duce them. One proposal was that there should be a levelling downward of all the industrial rates by a given percentage.- This suggestion never went far, because other coalition lead- ers felt it would be too blind a way to 70 about taritf reduction. The uitimate conclusion was that where rates have not already been brought into discus- sion, they should be left where ‘they are. This is the program of the coali- tion and it is satisfactory to.the oth:r factions and interests. There Is one conspicious rate not in- cluded in any of the groups mentioned, that is sugar. As to this no one of the groups knows its own mind. No one of the groups has any program. The ‘Western Progressives never attempted to arrive at a group decision about sugar, because there were too many differences among them, and also be- cause many of them do not care much about sugar either way. Speaking now of all the factions, progressives, regular Republicans and Democrats, in both House and Senate, there is, it is true, no identity of point of view about sugar. This is not, how- ever, any material exception to the main fact, which is that all factions have now the same point of view about all the rates as a whole. This goes far toward saying that a tariff will be enacted, and that rates will be as de- ccribed above, As respects rates, this is a_coming back, after much turmoil to the original plan recommended by President Hoover. That formula was in effect a broad and generous revision for agriculture, and as respects indus- try “limited revision” confined to in- dustries in which it could be shown convincingly that there has been un- employment due to competition from abroad.

Talk of shifting the meeting from London to the more salubrious Winter climate of what is occasionally called the English Riviera was started by officials who have experienced difficul- ties in handling smaller conferences in | London. With delegations widely scat- tered over the city, inadequate confer- | ence rooms in_government buildings | and the usual January drizzle and fog to be expected, it was thought the whole atmosphere for the negotiations would be improved if the venue could be changed. However, invitations were issued to a London conference; parliamentary busi- ness will necessitate Prime Ministe: Ramsay Macdonald’s presence at Wi minister during the conference delibera- tions, and the argument for a change gained little headway.

VIENNA, November 22 (#)—The Heimwehr, the semi-military Fascist organization of Austria, announced last night that it was prepared to approve any constitutional compromises effected with the Socialists by Chancellor Jo- hann Schober. The Heimwehr regards the present negotiations as only a first step in reform of the government, and therefore will not interfere with any- thing that looks like progress.
