He studied the proposition from all angles. Markets Were Flooded. After the signing of the armistice, ho said, the country was flooded with foreign oils. And as a result, there was no outlet for home markets. Storehouses of the packers were filled with lard. The packers pre dicted that by February 1, pork would drop to 5 cents a pound. "The emergency tariff went Into effect and shut out these foreign oils," he said. "As a result, pork on February 1 was 10 cents ii place of S cents." The sr.nie thing, lie said, uas true of wheat. The first break came when this country was flooded with the Canadian product. The emergency tariff stabilised the price. "China hud been flooding tho country with millions of tons of frozen efTgs," be said. "These came Iwtwecn February and May, when home production was large. Another example of stabilization through the tariff." South Aks Protection. Senator llatidnll explained that the Souihern Tariff association came Into being a little over a year aw.

"What would you do if asked to re- gume office?" Venizelos merely said; "Take some more hors d' oeuvres," but his vloce shook, betraying the depth of his emotion. His familiars who know the depth ot tho wound caused by the col lapse of his dreams of greatness for his country, are careful to refrain from discussing Greece or the near east In his presence.

Secretary of State Hughes has worked out a plan whereby the United States will be re imbursed for the cost of maintenance of the American army of occupation on the Rhine, it was learned on high authority yesterday. The reparations commission, after consultation with the allied govern ments, it was stated officially, has agreed formally to permit the United States to receive Its share of German dyes without money payment, as has been the practice heretofore. The cost of these dyes will be cred ited on the American bill against Germany for tho army of occupation. According to War department fig ures, this bill, on April 30, amounted to $254,097,297. and it is estimated that the amount today Is somewhat over $256,000,000." With the reduction in atrength of the army of occupation. the amount per month is considerably reduced, but owing to the fact that Anierioan soldiers are the highest paid in the world, the monthly item la still considerable. .

British government circles today took a grave view of the, situation in the Darnadelles, which was regarded as so critical as to ovemhuaow the revolutionary di vclopmcnts In Greece. The opinion was expressed that there is a greater prospect of1 fighting be tween the British and Turkish na tionalists than at any previous time. The cabinet was convened this morning to consider a message from Brig. Gen. Sir Charles Hurington, commanding the allied forces in Con stantinople, summar,zlng Mustapha Kemal Pasha's reply to Gen. Harlng ton's warning against violation of the neutral zone along the straits. The reply was considered to be evasive and ambiguous. Two Views Taken. Two views may be taken of Mustapha Kenial's intentions, it Is staled. One is that under the cover of his cavttlary he may be bringing up artillery and material, and doing oil he. can to compel tho Britlhh to (Ire tho first shot. The less serious view is that lie Is truthful In his state ment that ho does not know whero the neutral zone extends. It is pointed out that Gen. Hurrlng ton Is laboring under tremendous re sponsibility. He wns told to do nil possible to avoid war. but to use his own judgment about fighting to main tain the British edicts. He Is said to have the full backing of the govern ment, which will support any action he takes. In his reply Mustapha Kenml say th Angora government doea not rec ognize any neutral sone. He com plain about the Greek warships which hav been anchored near Con- tantlnople and also about the action of th British troop In tha region around Chranak. Allegation are made that th British have destroyed Turkish rud and Turkish home.
