"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.

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.

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.
