A Great Cabinet.
" "It is not - 'the great cabinet.' but
it is a great cabinet I have formed,"
said Premier Briand. "My ministers
and myself will be busy men looking 1
after .France's internal affairs. We
have confidence that the American
administration will look after its own
affairs. It may be republican, it may
be democratic it matters little; it is
always pro-French,. I am sure." .
v "We have the warmest desire to
be on friertdly footing with the Brit
ish and American nations, but there
is a pact, signed at Versailles, which
must be fulfilled. 1 trust that in the
fulfillment of that pact we come not
in contest with out friends,
"My ministry will make its how:
i:t the chamber Tuesday. J? may
be that a representative of France
will meet the "British and
Italian -
delegates the next day. I have asked
for no postponement."
The general impression is that the
cabinet is a very powerful element.

Fordney Opposes Plan a
By GRAFTON S. WILCOX.
Chlrago Trlbuna-Oranlia Ilea Leaaed Hire.
Washington, Jan. 16. Reciprocity '
is being seriously considered by
leading members of, congress, as the
best underlying principle for the new
tariff law.
Strong sentiment Sot a reciprocal
tariff basis, has already been shown
by numerous witnesses appearing be
fore the ways and means committee
in, the tariff hearings and it is being
advocated by senators and members
of the house who have been giving
the subject special attention.
Representative Longworth of
Ohio, a member of the ways and
means committee, in a recent speech,
urged very strongly that in arrang
ing the new tariff schedules, pro
vision should be made for reciprocal ,
tariff relations with other " nations.
Senator Edge of New Jersey has
made a similar plea, stating that pro
hibitive tariff rates at this time would
be an invitation to other nations to
retaliate with prohibitive rates
against American 'products.
Consider World Conditions. T .
Senator Penrose, chairman of the
finance committee, which will have
reviewing power over the house tar-
iff bill, is known to be leaning to
ward the theory of reciprocal tariff ,
concessions. He . has said, that the
new tariff law must be framed in ac
cord with new world conditions, and
that the export business of the Unit
cd States must be considered in con-
ncction with the establishment of du
ties for protection of the domestic
market. ; '"
Opposing this view, however, is '
Representative Fordney of Michigan,
chairman of the ways and means
committee, who favors a tariff wall
that will shut out foreign products..
Mr. Fordney has said during the re
cent tariff hearings, that he would
rather sacrifice the, money owed the
L'nited States by foreign powers
than to have the debts paid through
admission of imports .which would !
injure American industries.
May Dominate Committee.
It is very probable that Mr. Ford
ney's old protectionist views will v
dominate the ways and means com
mittee bill to a considerable extent,
but in the senate also are men op-
.rinser? -In u i cnlltnrw rCrf .njsi;...; ; -
which would promulgate rates di
signed on a oasis of Ignoring the ,
trade with other nations -- - V
Within the last week two great
industries were represented before'
the ways and means committee as
advocating reciprocal provisions in
the new. tariff law. They-were the
automobile and the lumber, in dustrles. -
Suggestions by ..these ' industries,
which had special application to
their own pases were in accord with
the views expressed by. Representa
tive Longworth and Senator Edge,
contending that tariff views formerly
held by the party should be modi
fied to meet new conditions result
ing from the world war. which not
only caused the United States to
loan large sums of money to other
nations, but opened foreign markets
for American goods previously in-
accessible."
Urge New System.
The advocate of reciprocal tariffs
stand for protection for American N
industries where it is most needed,
but believe that a carefully worked
but system of reciprocal duties,
should be placed :n effect as a mo
of making it possible, both for foi
eign nations to pay their debts to
this country and also for American
manufacturers to .sell thair good-
abroad without fear of 'retaliation
in the wiy of prohibitory duties.
: The reciorocal arrancemenf ttrvcA
by some of the lumber manufactur
ers lias special reference to the Cana
dian situation. - The automobile man
ufacturers, however", in advocating
reciprocal tariffs, also had in mind
France and other foreign nations
whoch have shown a disposition to
retaliate against American automo
biles because -of duties now existing
in this country. In the case of both
the lumber manufacturers and auto
mobile makers, their industries are.
not in great need of protection from
imports and bmh-are anxious to de '
velop their export markets. ' v
Profiteering Must

times. are ahead for the United States
uniess inc government stops proti
teering, Senator Irvine L. Lenroot
declared, iu a speech here.
Although there is a general trend
toward lowcr prices, some articles
such as coal and steel products arc
still selling at a price much higher1
than the prewar level he said.
, "This is due," he said, "for the -most
part to the fact that profiteer
ing has not ceased by those who
arc able, through monopoly or gen
tlemen's agreements, to 'maintain
higher prices upon certain com
modities. "In the investigation by the sen
ate committee of the roat business,
it has been shown that ttie coal oper
ators have been exacting profits lis
llirrl, a .100 n-r pent 1 ...a I.-J n
Department of Justice that would per
form its duty, some of these men
would he in tiie penitentiary. This
criminal profiteering must stop.'' '
