FIGHT OVER
TARIFF LOOMS
—
General Revision Favored
By Solons While Hoover
Wants It Limited
WASHINGTON April 17.—(JP>—
i The special session of the new con-
gress is only three days old and
its leaders are hopeful they can
hold it reasonably close to *the
range of legislative activities rec-
ommended by President Hoover
There are. of course the contro-
versies to be expected as reflected
in the growing apprehensions of a
fight over a debenture plan pro-
vision in the farm relief bill and
the expressions of historic differ-
ences between democrats and re-
publicans over the tariff.
There are however others which
were not so clearly indicated in ad-
vance. These include the specula-
tive credit situation and the ques-
tions of limiting tariff revision and
suspending the national origins
provisions of the immigration act.
A tendency to favor a general in-
stead of a limited revision of the
tariff in fact has been growing
more and more apparent and whai
is regarded as the opening gun in
that fight has been fired from the
midst of the camp of administra-
tion supporters in the senate by
Senator Reed of Pennsylvania.
Commenting on the president’s
reference to “the necessity for some
limited changes” in the tariff
schedules he expressed the opinion
that “any tariff revision necessari-
ly must be a general revision” since
“we can not open up some sched-
ules and extend protection to some
items and at the same time deny
protection to other manufacturers
and other commodities which need
it.”

Snowden Attacks Churchill’s
Budget Proposals; Raps
France And Italy
LONDON. April 17.—OP)—The
British election campaign was en-
livened today with repercussions of
Philip Snowden's startling attack on
the Balfour note which fixed the
status of Britain’s war debtors.
* Snowden who was chancellor of
nie exchequer in the labor govern-
ment of Ramsay MacDonald said
the labor party had never sub-
scribed to the principles of the Bal-
four note.
The answer of the government
and an affirmation of disavowal by
Ramsay MacDonald were awaited
with extreme interest since the ad-
mittedly strong position of the labor
party made its views on such an in-
tegral part of Europe's war debt
structure of extreme importance.
Snowden’s speech was made in the
commons in the course of an attack
on the budget proposals of Winston
Churchill present chancellor of the
exchequer.
The Balfour note stated that
while Great Britain would have
been willing to forego all claims for
reparations and payment of inter-
allied debts in a universal settle-
ment. she would be content with
collecting from her allies and Ger-
many sufficient to cover her own
payments to the United States.
Mr. Snow'den was particularly bit-
ter in his criticism of France which
he said had repudiated four-fifths
of her obligations to England. The
United States had obtained better
terms from Frence than did Eng-
land. he claimed declaring the case
of Italy was worse still since that
country's total debt of $3500000000
had been commuted to $1035000000.

Pedro. Guerrero without any avail-
able funds began the grading of
a road from that town to the in-
ternational bridge on the river cut-
ting the distance to five miles. By
giving a series of balls and fiestas
and by personal solicitation these
people have raised sufficient funds
to complete their road and Mier is
to follow suit.
The proposed highway from Mon-
terrey to San Pedro opposite Roma
has been grubbed and cut and the
revolution over will be graded and
hard surfaced but Mier does not
propose to await the outcome of the
war and will begin at once to grade
its part of the road.
