Sen ate tariff hearings were enlivened today by an attack on Ai&erican .... a newspaper puDiisners oy vU''' William E. Haskell of New YorK. vice president of the Internation al Paper company, and a counter attack on the news print paper manufacturers by William J Page, publisher of the Waterbury (Conn.) RepuDiican, r pea ing "r small publishers who, na saia organized a buying corporation because they were "unable, smsfto handed to assist themselves in an endeavor to obtain fair-priced news print." Urging a tariff protection iur his industry agamst i!.nropean competition Colonel Haskell said congress had gradually yieiaea w the clamors ot the paid agent ot the publishers until finally all tariff on news print had 'oeen re moved and the Industry aDan doned to drift in the ebb and flow of the international competitive tide. "Protection" Demanded Asserting that newsprint was the only product of the paper making Industry "which has been deprived ot all protection and be deviled by inspired federal regu lation and interference," the wit ness said that the reason for the 'invidious treatment, this branch of the Industry has suffered is obvious." He added that the "iact mat the press can control legislation and invoke unwarranted regula tions, restrictions and interter ence for its own selfish interests, constitutes a grave charge of un due influence and special privi lege." Charges Denied The charge that any "undue in fluence" had been used uy tne publishers In arguing tor the placing of news print paper on the free list was denied by Emery Thompson of Chicago, speaking for the American Newspaper Publisher's association. He de clared that the publishers had based their argument on the eco nomic ground ot ' the inability ot the American news print manu facturers to supply domestic con sumption. This inability was de nied by Colonel iiasiceii. Mr. Pape said the question De- tore congress In determlntg as to the retention of newspaper on the free list was whether the publish ers Bhould again have imposed on them such a condition as was found by a senate committee which reported last year that cer tain manufacturers had taken ad vantage of a newa print shortage to "exploit the purchasers," ana hold them up for excessive, un reasonable and wholly unfair prices." Influence Aot lsed Publishers, who as a class. largely dominate public opinion affecting business policies through direct appeal to readers, he added, "have been violently weak when fighting for a fair price newsprint. He declared that on less man three, occasions In ten years, prices had "soared to undreamed of heights," and that nothing, in cluding the federal trade commis sion, congressional and court ac tion had "stayed the demands im posed by certain of those who control the supply of newsprint." Colonel Haskell suggested no definite rate of duty for news print, saying he would leave that to tho committee. He contended that the industry was In bad shape as a result of competition from Germany, Sweden, Norway and Finland, asserting paper made in those countries could be sold here for from $10 to S20 be low the cost of production here. Knroppattf Enter Field On the other hand. Mr. Pape argued that the prices of foreign made paper brought about tho level in this country; that It was the , price here that attracted manufacturers in the foreign countries and that imports: from Europe had proved the salvation ot the small inland publishers af ter, the war when, he said, both contract and spot prices for paper roEe to "unbearable limits."

Tendency to Finance Schools and Tax Solvent Firms !s Deplored "People blame tt legislator? for their heavy taxation burdens yet whenever a measure Is submit ted for educational matters, they cheerfully vote upon themselves the extra tax." T. B. Kay declare yesterday noon in addressing the Rotarians. "Prior to 1920, not more than $4,000,000 was raised annually in taxes for education. Last year it was $9,600,0000. When the mlll age tax was submitted, the people voted in favor of it for educa tional purposes, adding more than- $5,000,000 annually. The two mill tax voted by the people for public schools, amounted to $2,081,000 annually. "Of the $41,000,000 raised an nually in taxes in Oregon, more than $18,000,000 is used for edu cational purposes, Mr. Kay said, and out of this amount, more than $17,000,000 was for public schools." Mr. Kay declared that the edu cational department of the- state was the most extravagant of all. "If we are to retrench, we must cut out the unnecessary ex penses of our schools," declared the ex-state treasurer. Mr. Kay felt there was a social istic spirit in the air and there must be a readjustment if this spirit is to be curbed. In many in dustries, the radical element was in the majority and the readjust ment of conditions and expenses must come to counteract this rad icalism, he said. As one of. the signs of radical. ism. Mr. Kay referred to a bill that was introduced in the recent special session of the legislature. It provided that hereafter, real estate should be assessed for only half the amount of its assessment of the past year. ' It is surprising the amount of support such a bill received, Mr. Kay said. He also deplored the tendency to tax a man or corporation that was making money. Such things. he said, was causing many busi ness men to dispose of their busi ness and invest in non-taxable se curities. "There will be enacted In Ore gon a state income tax law. But when a man cannot make 6 per cent on his business or manufac turing plant, he is likely to sell out and invest in securities which cannot be taxed." declared Mr. Kay. "It is more important to have manufacturing plants In Sa lem than a few farmers be in duced to settle in this commun ity." Texas Legion Frowns Upon Release of Debs DALLAS. Tex.. Dec. 28. I)l-i approval of the release of Eugene j V. Debs was expressed in a state ment by Wayne Davis, of Goliad, Texas, departmental commander of the Texas American Legion to day. The announcement read: "The American legion oi Texas feels the recent release of Eugene V. Debs after serving a small portion of his ten-year sentence in federal prison following hia conviction on charges of obstruct ing the draft is an- insult to those who died as well as those who wore the uniform during the war, regardless ot the fact that his re lease was camouflaged with senti ments of mercy as well as hedged about with political reasons."

Kf forts to limit the naval strength of tha powers in submarines and auxili ary warships came- to an abrupt end today after tlicy had drav.n the French and British arms con ference delegates into a plain spoken exchange over the possi- bilit'es France The newed told tho of a future war between and Groat Britain. French, acting under re instructions from Paris, conference naval commit tee with an air of finality that France must remain free to build a submarine flotilla nearly three times as great as that she pos- feess!?, and to construct, in aa dHion, cruisers, destroyers anil other auxiliary craft up to a ton nage of 330,00't. - lleg ret KxpretwnT To the proposal, the Americans, Japanese and Italians replied with expressions of surprise and re gret, while the British charged that such a building program must be regarded as a menace to British shores. Arthur J. Bal four added that he had no doubt, if occasion arose. Great Britain would be equal to it, but only if she reserved complete freedom of action as to the construction of all types of auxiliaries which might be useful against under water war craft. Agreeing that further argument would be useless, the committee turned its attention to collateral subjects, including regulations for future use of submarines, propos als for limitation of the size and armament of individual auxiliary vessels and details of the argee ment already sealed in principle regarding capital ships. I toot Has Declaration For the American delegation, Elihu Root proposed a joint dec laration reaffirming the obliga tion of submarine commanders to warn merchant ships before at tack, to refrain from sinking ves sels whose crews and passengers could not firbt be placed in safety, and to conform in general to ail the established practices of in ternational law. In addition, Mr. Root also suggested a change hi existing usage to prohibit attacks on merchant vessels altogether, and to make submarine command ers who violate the regulation liable to trial as pirates. General sympathy for the pur poses of these proposals was ex pressed by the representatives of all the powers, but definite ac tion was deferred. Should an agreement be reached, it is to be submitted to all civilized nations with- an invitation for world wide adherence. Flirt Iter Proposal Limits Under a further proposal pre sented by tho American delegat- Ion and given general, but not final approval by the other pleni potentiaries, no nuxiliary vessel of more than 10.000 tons could he constructed by any of the powers and no airplan? carrier could have a tonnage of more than 27,000 tons. A maximum a'rplane car rier tonnage of 80.000 for the United States. K0.000 for Oreat Britain. SO. 000 for Japan. 28.000 for France and 2R.000 for Italy also was suggested by the Ameri cans and will be further discussed tomorrow. The n?t result of the day's de liberations, so far as actnal pro gress is concerned, was an agree ment that in future no gun of more than 16-inch caliber shall be mounted on a capital ship, and none of more than eight-inch cali ber shall be included in the arm ament of any auxiliary ve33el or airplane carrier.
