One of the great est figures on tbe international politic cal post war horizon was removed to day in the sudden death of Dr. Gustav Stresemann, foreign minister of Ger many, from a stroke of apoplexy. Dr. (stresemann died at 5:25 in. this morning.

He had been stricken at midnight, and failed to regain con, sciousness. The sudden and entirely unexepecL 1 ed death of the foreign minister threw a pall of gloom over Germany, for al i though during his eutire tenure of. office Dr. Stresemann fought against violent opposition from all political quarters, he was nevertheless a popu lar figure and had carried the banner of reconstruction through the trying post war dys in Germany. Although be had been suffering for: some time from a kidney ailment com plicated by trorubosis, Dr.

Stresemann died literally "In harness." A few hours before his death he had attend ed a party caucus, and spent the lato hours of yesterday afternoon in political conferences at his home. The. stroke came apparently with out warning shortly after 'midnight. Physicians snt for, and as if became increasingly obvious statesman would not recoveMrom th stroke, members of his family assembled at his bedside. Every "possible effort was made to save his life, but his system, weakened.

by a complication of illnesses, was unable to rally. The end came peace UMX4.tJiflejnore.ihan er he had been stricken. The excitement of (lies few during which Dr. Stresemann. fought herblcally against violent oi pdsition to avoid a cabinet: crisis, is held directly responsible tod his death.

The possible crisis Came of a reform bill fors unemployment relief. For hours late yesterday, Dr. Stresemann urged his supporters, members of. the Oerman peoples" party, not to vote against the measure, i All his great oratorical powers were 'expended in an effort to keep peace within his own ranks and prevent collapse of his ministry, but he gave no indication that he had exhausted himself to such an extent that his lifo was at stake. Washington Shocked WASHINGTON, Oct.

3. (INS) News of the death of Gustav Stresemann, German foreign minister, came as an unpleasant shock today to officials of the American' government, who have long regarded him as one of the outstanding "figures and stabilizing influences in Europe's post war reconstruction. The embassy here was deluged with expressions of regret and condolence from those in official life, and there were many tributes to the heroic part of the German foreign minister has played in the difficult task of re es tablishing the peace of Europe. Senator Wm. fl.

Borah (R) of Idaho, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee' who has long been an admirer of Herr Stresemann, said: "I think it will be conceded by all that Foreign Minister Stresemann had won a place among the first statesmen of the world. "When you take into consideration the task before him when he became foreign minister and then measure the work which he did it places him among the great constructive statesmen of all time."

HUTCHINSON International New Service Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. After thrice repudiating President Hoover on the flexible tariff, the Senate to aay resumed Its tariff war with battle over fixing the valuation basis for 'assessment of American" duties against foreign import.

The Democratic Insurgent coIitlon, which humbled the president on the flexible, provision, was mustering strong opposition against a new valua tion provision, authorizing the tariff commission to convert all new and old rates to an American valuation for the future approval of Congress This plan was approved by the Sen ate Finance committee but both Democratic and Insurgent leaders as sailed It as unnecessary and but an opening wedge for ultimate adoption or the American valuation plan. The coalition planned to insist upon retention of the foreign valuation ba sis, such as exists in the present law and which tbe Senate Finance com mittee would retain until Congress could act on the commission proposed conversion to the American basis. Under the foreign valuation plan, rates are assessed against the foreign value of an Imported article; under the American plan, the duties would be levied agalns tthe American selling price of tbe Imported article or against the American selling price of a comparative American article. Tbe president's defeat on tho flexible provision left administration leaders divided as to their strategy in tbe tare. There wis talk of abandoning the plK," In order to save the flexible provision in existing law, but the majority of administration leaders favored a finish fight.

"We are going ahead with our fight," said Senator Reed (R) of Pennsylvania, "we cannot say what will happen In conference and we can't say what will happen on the conference report, but the House must agree to this change in the flexible law before the bill can be finally enacted." Dempcratlc leaders Senators Robinson of Arkansas, and Simmons of North Carolina both insisted there ould be no delay In acting on the bill. Robinson expressed a hope that the bill could be passed by the Senate this month.v In the flexible war, the president apparently lost because he Ignored the advice of his congressional leaders and personally Intervened. Following his direct appeal to the Senate to re enact his present i flexible powers, there was "a distinct stiffening of the opposition. Rumors prevailed that two Republican' Senators immediately abandoned his cause and joined the Democratic Insurgent coalition. The effect of the adverse vote may be harmful in the future to the president's legislative policies.

Having re pudiated Mr. Hoover It was intimated, the Senate will not be unwilling to do It again. The president was beaten on three separate votes. Twice, proposals were rejected to give hint a final voice in tariff rates: in Congress failed to act oh the tariff commission's recommendations within specified lime, Then, came the final vote, re vealing the president's existing powers and restoring to Congress' all legislative activity on the tariff. The vole was 47 to 42, thirteen Republicans' voting against him while but four Democrats supported him.
