PICKARD NTERFERENCE by individual citl- zens or corporations in the for- eign relations of the United States is not to be tolerated by the President or the senate, and proceedings were started last week designed to put an end to that practice. matfer came to the fore when one Willlam B. Shearer, in a_suit for remunera- tion, revealed that he had been em- ployed by American shipbuilding con- cerns to attend the futile three-power naval Hmitation conference of 1027 and by propaganda to frustrate the plans for reducing naval armaments. President Hoover immediately Issued a statement scathingly denouncing Shearer and his employers and or- dered the Department of Justice to investigate the man's activities, The senate followed and adopted unanimously a resolution by Senator jorah directing the naval affairs committee to make an Inquiry into the alleged employment of Shearer by shipbuilding corporations and the part played by them in the collapse ot the conference at Under the resolution the inquiry was lim- ited to that, though Senator McKel- lar of Tennessee suggested It might be found wise to enlarge the scope of the inquiry to include all kinds of propaganda in the naval armament controversy. This course hed been urged by various persons out- gide of the senate who, while not de- fending alleged activities Shearer, the propaganda other MBLue he suit Geneva, also the of condemned of pacifists and navy" persons. Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the minority leader, said: “No question is ralsed as to the right of any or all parties to carry on propaganda with- in the limits of lawful action, but this involves a question of Interfer- ence in what is essentially the for eign relations of the United States, There is no purpose to confuse the transactions mentioned with the long continued controversy as to whether the United States should have a large or a small navy.” The Arkansas senator declared no senate investigation could end that controversy or stem the flow of pro- aganda on that and virtually every major plece of legisiation brought be- fore congress, It was expected, how- ever, that the Investigation would end interference by Interested citizens or corporations in the country’s foreign relations, he sald. The corporations named by Shear- er in his suit for $257.655 were the Bethlehem Shipbuilding corporation, the American Brown Boverl Electrie corporation and the Newport News Shipbuildhg and Drydock company. Eugene G. Grace, president of the Bethlehem Steel corporation, In a let. ter to President Hoover, admitted Shearer had been employed by the shipbullders to attend the conference as an observer, but sald this was done without his knowledge and that when the board of the Bethlehem corporation learned of Shearer's antl. disarmament propagandist activities his employment was terminated. The American Brown Boveri corporation issued a statement to the same effect. cal EANWHILE President Hoover and his chlef advisers in interna- tional affairs were considering new proposals from the British govern. ment for establishing a tentative na- val reduction agreement and prepar- ing an answer thereto, which was cabled to Ambassador Dawes THurs- day night. The British plan called for reduction of the British cruls- er fleet to about 340,000 tons on condition that the United States would limit its 10000 ton S-inch gun treaty cruiser tonnage to eighteen ghips, Instead of the twenty-three now carried on the American bulld- ing program, Under this arrangement Britain would have fifteen 8-inch gun cruls- esi ers and the United States eighteen. Great Britain proposed that this dis- parity In big gun cruisers would be made up by allowing the British gov- ernment to retain four older 74-inch gun crulsers and malntain an advan- tage In crulser tonnage amounting to approximately 40000 tons of small G-Inch gun so-called police crulsers. In London it was announced that Prime Minister MacDonald had decid- ed to sall for the United States on September 28 to confer with Presiden Hoover and Secretary of State Stim- son.

The Russians have been at- tacking with artillery and bombing planes and the Chinese have retallated sharply. There was desperate fighting for several days for possession of the city of Pogranichinaya on the eastern border, and at first it was claimed the Chinese had won there, but later ad- vices sald they had been driven back 40 miles to Mulin, and that Pogranich- inaya had been reduced to ashes. Sov- let gunboats made determined efforts to force their way up the Sungari rive er, but it had been mined by the Chi- nese. Each side blames the other for the aggressive actions, and actual con- ditions are rather clouded. Negotia- tions for peaceful settlement were still going on in Berlin, - —— HEN the great tariff fight really got under way in the senate, the regular Republicans In that august body met defeat In the first test vote, Senator Simmons’ resolution directing the fpance committee to obtain from the Treasury department Information contained In the Income tax returns of tariff beneficiaries was adopted by a vote of 51 to 27, The thirty Dem- ocrats all voted for the measure and were alded by 21 Republicans, includ- ing all the so-called radicals and sev. eral others. The Information sought is to Include profits or losses, grosa sales, inventories, merchandise bought and costs of manufacture; Including ma- terials, wages and salaries. Senator Reed Smoot and otherg argued In vain that the resolution was offered with a view to delaying action on the tariff bill, Senator Norris Introduced nn. resoln tlon calling for immedate considera. tion of the chse of Senator-elect Vare of Pennsylvania, and this, too, wus eald to be Intended to delay the tariff measure, but of Senator Watson the Vare matter was put over until the regular session In December.
