DRIVE ON TARIFS CONTIUEDBY HUL Italians and Argentines Con- fer With State Depart- ment Officials. By the Assoctated Press. The Roosevelt administration today drove on with its effort to enlist Italy and Argentina in a program of lower tariffs and stabilized exchanges. Italy’s finance minister, Guido Jung; the Italian Ambassador, Augusto Rosso, and Italian economic and financial ex- perts continued their discussion of eco- nomic problems at the State Depart- ment with' Secretary Hull and depart- mental experts. Breckenridge Long, newly appointed Ambassador to Italy, joined the conver- sations, which will review in detail sub- Jects discussed in a general way at the ‘White House yesterday with President Roosevelt Will Outline Program. ‘The Argentine representatives, Am- bassadors Tomas le Breton and Felipe Espil, envoys to Paris and Washington, Tespectively, were prepared to outline part of Argentina’s program for the London Economic Conference at a State Department conference at 3 p.m. The Argentines are expected to ad- vance points wherein their country might grant mutual trade concessions, should the United States desire 5o to negotiate. The recently announced An- glo-Argentine trade treaty was expected to be touched upon in today’s discus- sions, the visitors previously having in- dicated Argentina stood ready to make a similar agreement on exchange favors, should this country desire. A state dinner will be given tonight at the Argentine embassy for Secre- taries Hull end Wallace and other ad- ministration officials. French Position Given. William Phillips, Undersecretary of Btate, today said the French position toward a tariff truce suggested by the American Government contains three Treservations. esides stipulating that France must retain freedom to raise tariffs in event of foreign currency depreciation, the French statement of policy received at the State Department provides the truce shall not apply to trade agreements which are now before Parliament, and that all the principal powers must agree to the truce. Phillips said the French statement did not state specifically that a 15 per cent surtax on American imports was proposed in case the dollar went down to 20 francs, although press dispatches from Paris have shown this is the plan. Italian Stand Uncertain. After a two-hour discussion with Mr. Roosevelt in the White House late yes- terday, Jung told newspaper men it was 0o early to state Italy's position on 8| tariff truce, but added “Signor Musso- lini has always been in favor of lower- ing the barriers between nations.” He pointed out Italy has had a &table currency since 1927 and its sta- bility would be defended “as strem usly and as firmly as can be imagined.” the Italian minister “we would like the Being stable,” who is being aided in the dis- cussions here by Ambassador Rosso, will have further talks with Mr. Roose- velt, and was expected the questions of war debts, disarmament and Euro- pean peace would be more thoroughly mined. Desires Treaty Revision. paper men were told by the dis- red visitor that “clearing the 1 atmosphere” between nations w essential to the economic recon- struction of the world.” Italy desires a revision of the Versailles Treaty to echieve this. Mr. Roosevelt is known to believe the time is not opportune for attempting solution of political questions, but rather the emphasis of all nations should be placed on preparatory work for making the London Economic Cen- ference a success. Several social engagements were planned today for the Argentine repre- sentative, Dr. Breton. The Argentine- American talks yesterday were devoted mainly to a discussion of wheat control methods and a possible relaxation of the American quarantine on meat from the South American country.

V.SOONG, CHINESE DELEGATE, WAS GRADUATED AT HARV{\’RD Roosevelt to Greet Fellow Alumnus at Economic Conversations. Oriental Leader Is Scion of One of China’s Most Dis- tinguished Families. By the Assoclated Press. T. V. Soong, Westernized finance min- ister of China, will have something be- sides the world economic and monetary conference to discuss with President Roosevelt when he reaches the White House. Both are “sons of old Harvard.” The distinguished Oriental was a boy of 13 in Canton when Roosevelt got his sheepskin in 1904, and he was 32 when he took his own degree in 1923. He followed that with post-graduate work in Columbia. But if he took a long time to prepare himself for his life work, he lost no time in getting to the top, once he got started. Target for Assassins, It was only five years ago that he began to figure in world news, the Occident finding in the Autumn of 1927, that he was one of three men dom- inating the Nationalist party. He then was president of the Central Bank of Canton, known as a keen financier and as a scion of one of the wealthiest and most influential families in China. Now he is not only minister of finance, but also vice president of the executive “Yuan,” or administrative branch of the Nanking government; a member of the powerful central execu- tive committee of the Nationalist party and also president of the Central Bank of Shanghai. But he has paid for his rise to in- fluence. Thrice have tried to kill him with bombs or rifle fire or both, and the first attempt, made in Shanghai July 23, 1931, caused the death of his mother. Il at Tsingtao, she succumbed to shock when a false report of her son’s death reached her. It had been Soong’s secretary, not he himself, who died of wounds. U thed that time, Soong was equay fortunate on both succeeding %gg&lom. February 1 and March 25, Unusual Family. Mme. Soong was the mother of three | unusual sons and three daughters. She reared them all in the Christian faith United States, the boys at Harvard and the daughters at Wellesley or at Wes- leyan of Macon, Ga. One of the daugh- ters is the widow of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, father of the Chinese Republic. An- other is the wife of Chang Kal-Shek, generalissimo of the Nationalist Chinese armies and nominal head of the gov- ernment. The third is the wife of H. H. Kung, minister of industry. The sons are T. V,, T. L. and T. N. Soong, the latter two occupying minor government posts at Nanking. 'T. V. Soong was originally Sung Tsu- ‘Wen, but anglicized his name, his broth- ers following his example. The father of the family was one of the early backers of Sun Yat-Sen when that fa- mous revolutionist first began to plan the overthrow of the old empire. —_— LEHMAN SIGNS BILLS FOR ALIMONY RELIEF Measures Drafted to Meet Condi- tions of Reduced Incomes Dur- ing Depression. By the Assoclated Press. ALBANY, N. Y, May 4—Four bills intended to relieve alimony-paying hus- bands from some of their ~burdens, brought about by reduced incomes in the present depression, were signed last night by Gov. Herbert H. Lehman. One of them permits a judge to refuse to send a husband to jail for non-payment of alimony or counsel fees in a separation case if the judge is satisfied that the husband has no property or income from which to pay. Another measure permits the court to reduce the alimony payments if the husband has been sent to jail for non- payment, provided he is financially un- able to comply with the order. One of the measures is intended to speed trial of separation cases in which temporary alimony has been granted. ‘The fourth bill permits courts to re- fuse orders staying separation proceed- ings in which the husband has made a counter-claim.

By the Associated Press. TOKIO, May 4.—Viscount Kukijiro Ishii left today for his conferences with President Roosevelt to defend Japan's role as a “primary defender of the peace of the Orient” and to urge Ameri- can recognition of Manchukuo. Also, if the American President offers an opening for such arguments, the 67- year-old statesman is prepared to de- fend the Japanese conquest of Man- churia and the establishment therein of the Manchukuo government. Accompanying the viscount are Eigo Fukai, vice governor of the Bank of Japan, and seven advisers and secre- taries. They went by train to Yoko- hama, when they sailed for the United States on the Tatsuta Maru. Before leaving, Viscount Ishii told a representative of the Associated Press that his role at the White House talks and later at the World Economic Con- ference in London would be primarily political. Concerned in New Treaty. The economic aspects of the mission, he added, will be left to Fukai, a lead- ing Japanese business man who at- tended the peace conference in 1918 and who was a Japanese delegate to the Washington Arms Conference in 1921 Probably the first and most vital task he will have in Washington, Mr. Ishii said, will be to learn from Presi- dent Roosevelt just how far and in what directions the idea of a consulta- tive pact will be carried to implement the Kellogg-Briand peace treaty developed in the President’s talks with Prime Minister MacDonald of Great Britain and former Premier Herriot of France. “This is of the utmost importance to Japan, and we are still ignorant about what has been done” said Viscount Ishii regarding the latest peace pro- osal. i “In view of recent history, obviously Japan must proceed with the utmost caution,” he added. Other officials confirmed that Japan could accept a consultative pact involv- ing the defining of aggressor nations only with the strongest reservations concerning Japan's right to adequate self-defense forces. ‘Will Proceed Carefully. In view of “special conditions in the Orient,” where Japan considers hersell faced with “menacing neighbors,” China and Russia, they said, the matter of a consultative pact must be studied care- fully.

BY H. A. RIPLEY. ETECTIVE ED PALEN was on his first big case with Prof. Fordney. As the two stood on the threshold of Ronnie Stand- ford's comfortably furnished living room Fordney, with a wave of his hand, stayed the excited Palen. In a chair of peculiar design at rather a small table, where he had apparently been having tea, sat the body of Standford. The professor nodded and they -entered. On the table were found the dishes and food of the uncompleted meal. LAl:e the far end of the center window was a large Cox- well chair covered in bright green. Fordney looked out and saw a sheer drop of 20 floors. Warrington, the valet, told them that Standford had been despondent for some time and had complained on arising that morning of feeling quite badly—though he refused to have a doctor. No, Standford had seen no one that day—that is, as far as he knew. Warrington sald he was busily engaged in the kitchen for several hours over a scheduled party of Mr. Standford's for the next evening. Fordney noted the dilated pupils, the fixed and glassy stare, and with a long “H'mmmmmm” said, “probably hydrocyanic acid,” smelling a stain on Standford's lapel. An haustive search of the room revealed no clues and the man’s clothes produced only a package of cigarettes, pencil and matches. “Well, son,” the professor said, turn- lxlm“lo Palen, “what do you make | of it2” uicide, of cour: “Wrong—this is murder.” HOW DID FORDNEY KNOW?

This debate has resulted in increas- ing dissatisfaction in both free trade and high tariff camps, observers de- clare, for it is felt in some quarters the recent trade arrangements strike at the American suggestion for a tariff armistice during the economic conference. MacDonald, his political friends be- lieve, can help the conference im-: mensely by halting further trade nego- tiations by the British government. Finds $3,500 Nugget. MERCED, Calif, May 4 (#).—A.
