2. THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAN. FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 1922 . . 1 " ' ' f in j " tS --r I "BIG FOUR" UNITED TO CHECK SOVIET London Report on Basis of Treatment Favored. FINDINGS ARE EXPERTS' Action Is Believed to Imply Formal Acceptance or Plan for Resto ration of Russia. GENOA," April 13. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The '-Dig four." Lloyd George, Barthou. Schanzer and Jaspar, have decided at a meeting to present a "united front" when the eoviet sub mits its counter propositions for th i estoration of Russia. This action -was understood to imply formal acceptance by the four powers it the London experts' report as a basis for. the treatment of the Russian problem. The allied governments had not pre viously pledged themselves as bound by the reports of their experts drawn up at London. GENOA. April 13. (By the Asso ciated Press ) While rumors of a sensational nature were flying thickly "bout conference circles today, most of them being promptly djsavowed, he one fact that appeared to stand out in the somewhat clouded atmos phere was that neither the disarma ment nor reparations questions would be brought up "for Specific action against the opposition of France. The disarmament discussion had centered In the - rumor that Prime Minister Lloyd George would propose a military holiday for a fixed time. This was flatly disavowed this aft ernoon by members of the British ilelegation. Otlier reports were that the Rus s'ans and the Germans were prepar ing to leave the conference unless itparations and disarmament were made part of the agenda. These were also officially denied. Report Is Being Studied. The. Russians and the Germans meanwhile were both busily engaged in trying to digest the report of the Londcn experts on Russia, and both were becoming increasingly dissatis fied the further they delved into it. It seemed probable that the sub commission on Russian affairs would be unable to meet tomorrow, as the Russians declared they had not been able to assimilate such a compre hensive document sufficiently in the brief t'me they have had since its presentation., Their request for ad ditional time, it was thought prob able, also was inspired by a desire lor a fuller communication with Moscow. Adolph Joffre, of the Russian dele gation, declared today that many of the recommendations in the report were "quite absurd" and designed to put Russia under a foreign yoke, "the same as Turkey and China." France's Consent Needed. As to the disarmament and repa rations issues, it Appeared clear that the conference could not conceivably entertain any resolutions relating di rectly to them unless France con sented to a change in the agenda. It is impossible to prevent mem bers of the conference from discuss ing reparations and disarmament, but mere discussion is not regarded as a violation of the agenda, and all mem bers are pledged not to move consid eration of questions that have been barred. Even Good Friday will not be a holiday for the delegates to the con ference, as at least three sub-commissions are expected to meet that lay. Meetings are also scheduled for -Saturday, and it is not improbable that there will be sessions Easter -Sunday, so keen are the delegates to get the basis worked out for Europe's financial reconstruction. Visitors Are Disappointed. People who came here to enjoy the lighter side of the conference have been disappointed as there is no such thing. The wife of one dele sate remarked sadly today that she had never attended any conference which gave bo little attention to so cial affairs. At all hours of the day and night the delegates rush through ' the streets on their way to group meet ings, and from 10 until 6 o'clock every day -the subcommittees grind away. Delegates who are members of more than one subcommission have to appoint proxies, as three "Or four of these bodies often meet simul taneously. Mr. Lloyd George and the other British delegates were keenly dis appointed at first at not finding a golf course within reach, but thus far they have had no time for recreation other than that afforded by the sport ing game of keeping the conference from blowing up under pressure of the Russian delegates' disarmament talk. The chilly night winds from the Apennines mountains, coming after the warmth of the afternoons. Is causing a mysterious throat malady among the delegates, many of them having resorted to gargles for relief. The Japanese especially have suf fered from this affection. 5-CENT FARE PAYS PROFIT Operating Income of San Francisco Street Railway Announced. SAN FRANCISCO, April 13.

Last Sunday morning his tonsils suddenly grew Inflamed and on Monday night it was necessary to begin lancing Inflamed areas in his throat in order to give him relief. He is now very weak. He has last 16 pounds in four days, but his doc tors say his recovery has commenced. They advise him to have his tonsils removed, inasmuch as he has pre viously had minor attacks of ton silitis, but he refuses. McCormaek will not let anybody take anything out of his throat. Although his ton sils are higher in his throat than his sound-producing mechanism and have no direct connection with it, McCor maek is nevertheless afraid that any change made by cutting out any of the lumps and shapes which his voice encounters on the way out, might spoil the quality of his tones. He would sooner risk tonsllitis again than risk his voice. Concerted arrangements have been made to have prayers said today for McCormack's recovery in many of th Catholic churches of the city.

Her timber Is fast growing, her topography is favorable, especially east, of the Cascades, and the forests reseed themselves easily But it is all the more important that attention be paid to reforestation. Timber is practically the chief indus try out here, but I do not think other industries could be developed in time to take the place of timber if the supply should be exhausted and there would o.'COr a period of lack from which the region would not be able to recover easily."

Adv. FARM BLOC HAS MEETING Senators Consider Figures Placed Lower Than Memtoers Had Suggested to Committee. WASHINGTON, D. C, April 13. (By the Associated Press.) The democrat ic attack on the administration tariff bill was opened today by Sentor Sim mons of North Carolina, ranking mem ber of the senate finance committee, who in a statement characterized it as "the most un-Americanized bill ever framed." He predicted its oper ation would penalize our export busi ness, which will mean in the end ''curtailment of production and in creased unemployment on the farms, in the mines and in the factories." At the same time, senators of the republican agricultural tariff bloc had the first of a series of meetings to consider rates in the measure, which were fixed by the finance committee majority at figures below those sug gested by the bloc. Senator Gooding of Idaho, chairman of the bloc, said also that it was the purpose to take up American valuation at the meet ings. Strong? Sentiment Found . "There is a strong sentiment in the senate for American valuation," he said. "I do not want to put all our members on record as favoring it, but many are strongly impressed with the principle." Pending a decision by the bloc. Sen ator Gooding would not say whether a fight for American valuation would be made on the floor. He said it might be difficult to- have the valu ation basis changed in the senate be cause of the great task involved in rewriting of all the rates in the bill. At their session today, the bloc members, after hearing spokesmen for the southern tariff association, decided to support the increased rates asked for by that association on pea nuts, rice and copra. The assoeia tidn also urged that . the duties on sugar be advanced from 2 cents to 2i cents a pound to full duty and from 1.60 to 2 cents on Cuban sugar, but the bloc has yet to determine whether it will support these increases. Rates Drrlnred High. Iri his statement, attacking the tariff bill, which was preliminary to the minority report on the measure. Senator Simmons said that even a cursory examination indicated that it was the highest tariff bill ever writ ten. He added that a tariff "more un suited to present conditions, if we are to participate, in the world trade, could not well have been framed." "If it is adopted," said Senator Sim mons, in a formal statement, "we will hardly hear much more about republican tariff bringing prosperity.' It will be at least one republican tar iff that will be condemned, not as bringing prosperity, but adversity. In many instances it is excessively higher than the Payne-Aldrich tariff, with, added provisions, authorizing the president, under certain condi tions to increase these rates within a limit of 50 per cent. "So far as the so-called protection accorded agriculture is concerned, only a small fraction of the duties imposed on agricultural products will be operative. They would have no effect, good or bad. The duties on a few agricultural products would re sult in an advance in prices. Farmers Declared Injured. "The high and excessive duties im posed on manufactured products would immediately result in a great increase in the prices of things that the farmers buy but do not produce. In other words, the result of this so called protection to agriculture will be, so far as the farmers are con cerned, the swapping of dollars for dimes. "The operation of the bill neces sarily will penalize our export busi ness, which will mean in the end cur tailment of production and increased unemployment." Senator Simmons and other minor ity members of the committee hope to present their minority report with in nine days. COINCIDENCE IS UNIQUE Four Xewly-Appointed Officers of Master Masons Educators.
