HIGHER DUTIES. ITS CREED Tae ladsnaapetis New Bares, 33 Wye BelMia. WASHINGTON. November 22. Proud of Its success In shaping.lerls lation at, the present extraordinary session of congress, now in its last; houra.

tha' agrarian blob of the which is blamed by many for the incompleteness of the aession'a record of achievements, is reaching out for new members so that its influence at th regular winter session, to start December may be Increased. The hloc has a definite program, one of th main features ef which is higher duties on agricultural products in the permanent tariff bill than are contained ia the emerereacy tariff, law. which waa enacted at the dictation of th bloc. Among senators who have not been regarded aa member of the bloc but who are now classed as part of It, at least aa far as tariff rates oa products are concerned, are Harry S. New.

Indiana; Frank B. Ohio; 'O. 10. Weller. Maryland: vJIenry W.

Keys, New Hampshire; Charles II. Townsend. Michigan, and Bert M. Ferwald. Maine.

The addition ef these six senators gives the group twenty seven members, ail Republicans, who are ready, their spokesmen say, to make an independent stand for. certain tariff provisions unless th Republican leaders grant them tbe concessions to be demanded. They feel that their reinforced strength will be sufficiently great to mold aTfalra la their own. njurty Durtavg. this eras SHOOTING ACCIDENTAL ROBERTSON CONTENDS a HI 4 i The official photograph of the, conference on the limitation of armament shows the nations participating in sessions in the Memorial hall of the Daughters of the 'American Revolution, November 21, 1921.

Wood row Wilson, tha man, that a tartest the world development that led to the calling of the Washington conference, continues to keep, himself in the background. Intimate' friends of tba former President ha reads carefully ranch of tba matter. that i being" written abot theoaferenea, but saya, nothing. state department tie Id It that card of admission to tha session of the conference waa sent to Mr. Wilson, but the card la not being used and tt is pretty well understood that It will not be.

Nearly alt the delegates from the nine nations tbst are represented in the conference have, within the last week, left their cards at the Wilson home, but not one of them has had a personal Interview with tha former President. There are stories coing about to the effect that Wilson haa re received offers of fabulous sums to write hi impression of the conference, and no doubt there Is some baaia for these stories. The former President's friends say that no money consideration would tempt Mr.Wllson to express publicly hia viewa of the conference develoomanta. Th that he. of course, hopee the confer ence win pe a rreat aucceaa.

a It now aeema probable that" the Panama tolls question will not be brournt before the Conference. Several weeks ago ITealdent Harding and Secretary Hurhea were of th opinion that It mlsrht be well to call this question to the attention of the conference with the view of retting a five power decision aa to what Is a Just plan for deallnr with the tolls problem Later it was practically decided that the better plan would be for the United States and Great Britain, the two nationa most directly interested, to come to an understand inr outalde the conference. At th request of the President the Republican leaders in tbe house of representatives have temporarily pta eon holed the bill which the senate recently paaeed. givlnr United States coastwise shipplnr free passage through tha canal. ft may be.

well Informed' men said today, that this bill will remain permanently trt tha house committee room, where It now resta Secretary Hughes haa consistently opposed this legislation well Informed men have rained the impression tbst the President now agrees with tbe view of his secretary of state. In any event the aub ject of canal tolls seem to be sidetracked for the present. Many of the unofficial observers who came here from all points of the world are preparing to return home. After the call for the conference went WHAT IS Br tha Aaaeetaaed Prves November 22. Wh'al Is China? That's a question in pol'ticaJ geography which is becoming more and more a poser for the armament conference class in far eastern problems.

The recornixed Chinese government et Peking, as represented in the conference, say th China to which the Root principles must apply includes the' eighteen provinces within the "greater wall" and Manchuria. Mongolia, Tibet and Chinese Turkestan. This boundary. they say. was approved by the rreat powera when they recognised tbe Chinese constitution.

Japan apparently regards Manchuria and Mongolia aa outside the legitimate border line. Tbe Japanese Intentions in Shantant also are uncertain in the minds of the Chinese. Then, again, there ia the Chines sion eoaJltlons were formed both la senate and house with Democrats, but plnortty members will cot extend aid to boost tariff rates. Hence the detre of the bloc to increase its Republican membership. The bloc's most recent announcement, in which the accession of new members waa asserted indicated that next to high duties on farm products, the bloc was chiefly interested in the Capper bill for co operative marketing and In the Ken yon proposal that at least one member of the fed eral reserve board be drawn from the agricultural uroup of the country." The boast haa been made by iiena tor Carper, of Kansas, who.

perhapa. is the leader of the bloc, and wbo. with Senator Kenyon. of Iowa, directs its activities, that the bloc haa got everything at the 'present session session that It went after and that activities will be even srreater at the regular session The bloc takes credit for th law to advanre funds to the farmers In rearketinjr their products aad for vanaoaleaturea of 4Jaa tax re Cpyriftit. Harris a Slar out nations large and small that had not been Invited to participate, gained the impression that many questions in which they are either directly or indirectly interested would come up for discussion and sent their unofficial observers.

They were instructed to make representations if th opportunity The conferee have shown a determination to hold the work of the conference to the subjects set out In the agenda and the unofficial observers now realise that Uey might, as well ave expenses by returning home. The work of the conference is going along so well that a grood many cf the represent tvrs of organisations in th United States are packing up with tbe view to leaving. The American delegation haa Insisted since the first session of the conference that the scope of, the pro cram originally prepared ahould hot be broadened. The Jonesshipping rot. passed by the con re as laat year, haa received Incidental eonaldaratlon in the con ferencea of tbxt bis; Ave.

There of course. a relationship betwen a country's navy and Its merchant marine. The representatives of tbe other powers have Inquired of the American delegates aa to Preaident Hard inr'a attitude toward the provision of the Jonee act which instructs the President of the United States to con eel commercial treaties with abut twenty.slx foreign countries. The American deleratea. It' la understood, have said In an Informal way to' the deleratea from other nationa that President Hardinr ia not likely to carry out tha provtalona of tbe Jonea act.

Mr. 'Wllaon. when President, tt will be recalled, refused to carry out thia mandate of the Jours law. He took the grouad that Ho do so would Involve the United States In trouble with almost the entire world. It ren rally waa assumed, that when the Republican party came into power tn the natteq the commercial treaties would be canceled, but more than tlrht month have passed without any move toward cancellation.

Thus far United" States party politics have beet kept out of the conference. Tha leaders of the Democratic party haare. Without exception, riven the conference wholehearted Indorsement. This attitude nf tbe democratic party in the United State tj ia sharp contrast with tbe attitude the Republican party took when the work of th Parla conference was under way. It Is now a matter of history that a Republican cabal in the Unitfd Statea senate let it be known before th Paris Conference had reached a single decision that any commitments made by President Wilson and tbe American delegstion at the Parla conference would ho opposed by the Republican leader in the senate.

That determination waa carried out. Now the attitude of the Democratic minority In the senate ia that whatever good, comes out the Wash inert on conference shall receive Is approval. CHINA? government of Canton, which saya that, politically speaking. It ia China. The geographical limits it lay down are not different from those reco; nised by the Peking authorities, but they say the latter can not apeak the national voice of China in th negotiation here.

Historical, ethnologlcaf and atatla llcal data are being mustered in rreat quantities to aupport the various viewpoints and the question premises to be one of. tbe most intricate In the conference. On tbe answer, say the Chinese, will hinge whether the Root principles mean ranch or little. The pled ares contained In the a principles mean much as the Chinese apply them to tha whole of the territory they regard as conatltulnr China. But they say they mean almost nothing if Japan applies them only to a restricted China minus Manchuria, Mongolia and Shantung.

bill, particularly the surtax of SO per cent, on individual incomes, which was forced on senate leaders, then retained by the bouse when ninety four progressive Republicans broke away from their leaders and Jol rve with the Democrats ia voting for the schedule of higher rates even after President Harding had asked that tbe maximum rat1 be lowered to 40 per cent. Moat of the pronrresaive Republicans participatina: in th fight which resulted in tbe first conspicuous legislative defeat of Irestdent Hardintr since he took office came from states repreeented in the senate by leaders of the agrarian, bloc. Congressmen from Camper's and Kenyon states, Kansas and Iowa. voted eoiidly against their party leader in the White Houae. i Since their revolt last week these proarreaslve Republicans have been boasting that they saved the lie pub Mean party and their boasts have been repeated by bloc members ia tha senate.
