NEW TARIFF RATES TO BE ADJUSTABLE ' Need of Constant Re visions SAVE CONGRESS WORK, TOO fly the Associated Press Washington. April 21. Prevision in the pending Tariff Bill which would authorize the President te increase or decrease rates and proclaim American valuation were described today te the Senate by Senater Smoot as net only offering a solution of the particular tariff problem new before Congress, but also as "suggesting n practical basis for a continuing scientific adjustment of the tariff in the future." "Once they are understood," Sen Sen aeor Smoot snld, "I believe every mem ber of Congress will welcome legisla tion which will in part free us from dealing with burdensome details, and from the exactions of putting through a general tariff revision In a single bill." Can't Prepare for rulure "We are already In almost contin uous session." he ndded. "nnd It be comes incrcaslnclv necessary for us te delegate te executive and administrative agencies the working out of detailed adjustments. Business interests nlse will no doubt welcome measures which will render less frequent and less vio lent the unheaxals Incident te tariff re vision and which will accordingly con tribute te commercial nnd industrial stability. "It Is impossible te frame a law en the basis of conditions today which will fit the conditions of a few cars hence, or een one jear from new, as condi tions are changing se rapidly."

"Such bargains in the pat hare net brought the results honed for. and alike iaifer- eign and domestic politics, they cause complications ajia bickerings.

GILBERT Staff f rrtwsent Rrentnc PaMIe Tdsrr Cervrtghl, Hit, hv PubHe I.ttetr Cenranu Washington, April 24. If nn agree ment is reached nt Genea nnd Ilusla is recognized, and If this country fellows the Allies in admitting the Soviet Gov ernment Inte the family of nntlnns. various questions will arise ns te what Is Russia. Ne two countries nre agreed nbeut It, or at any rate this country does net agree with the leading .European Pow ers about the boundaries of the new country that succeeded the old Czarist Kmplre. President Wilsen adopted the policy of standing for the integrity of Russia, end the present Administration has ad hered te it. Seme time all the fragments or most at the fragments Inte which Russia fell after the fall of the old regime were te come together again into one great nation, and we awaited that time. The ether nations of Kurepe adopted a different policy and accorded recog nition te the various small states in the Western part of the former empire which declared their Independence of the Soviets. The chief of these nie Latvia, Ksthenln nnd Lithuania. U. S. Recognizes Twe We have iceegnlzed Finland, which was once a pert of Russia, and also Polend. part of wlilch was formerly included In Russia. But. there were his toric and ethnic grounds for retarding these nations as independent. With regard te Latvia, Esthenla and I.Ittiunnia. tue case wan net se goon. And Ukrnlnla, which also split off, ha; net commended itseit te any ei tne cniei Governments of the world. If Latvia. Esthenla nnd Lithuania stand as separate nations, then Russia Is pretty well cut off from the Baltic nnd European wnterH generally, thrown back upon Asia, becoming generally a Pacific rather than a Western Power. Latvia has been recegnised by twenty-seven Powers, Esthenla by twenty one and Lithuania by seventeen. If an agreement is reached at Genea estab lishing the status quo and a sort of truce among nations for ten years these smnll nations would frcem te stnnd. even though the Soviet Govern ment has never admitted their inde pendence, and even though this Govern ment has been committed te their re union with Russia. The se-called Republic of Ukralnia is net en such geed footing internation ally. Only the nationalist Turks nnd the Afghnns have welcomed It into the family of nations. In addition there are the Govern ments of Georgia and Azerbaijan ; an other, the Far Eastern Republic In Si beria, which maintains a delegation here all of them existing in parts of what were Russia. The Far Eastern Republic has friendly relations with Moscow nnd may be easily reabsorbed into Russia. But there remains the problem of Japan's aggression In Si beria, which takes en a new aspect if the world Is te say that Russia has a stable government. Many Others UnRecegnled These nre only n few of the recogni tion puxzles en the hands of Mr. Hard ing. Besides the seven countries al-read- mentioned, -.which., with Soviet Russia Itself, make eight, there arc the following unrecognized natiens: Al bania. Armenia, Greece, Turkey, tac Canten or Seuth China Government, the Government of Flume, of Angera, Af ghanistan and the rnther uncertain Re public of Eastern Galicla. And there is Egypt, whose independence Great Britain lias recognized, though her for eign affairs remain mere or less under British control. Ne one has recognized Kgvpt. except that a Russian diplomatic representative at Caire calls himself Minister Plenipotentiary. There are puzzles enough te keep a State Department busy for years. The geography and politics of the world de pend en the easy say-se of this coun ceun trv nnd the ether great powers which can assist in the process of further splitting the world up into small nn nn tiena Midi as sprung out of the dis integration et Austria, or wiurn can exert pressure for the rc-estnblis'iment of another great power.
