POINCARE PLAN IS SUBJECTED TO OPPOSITION Great "Britain and Italy Object to Financial Control Over Germany. UNANIMITY IS UNLIKELY

Establishment of Customs Barriers in Occupied Region Suggested. liONDON, Ausr. 8. (By A. P.) The" prop-osal made by Premier Poincare of France, for control of Germany's finances In return for a moratorium for German', seems not to have found favor with the British and Italian financial experts, mainly because they foresee that the plan wotlld involve the allies in. embarrassing political entanglements which would not be justified by what might pained financially. This developed today during the discussion in the Poincare plan by the financial experts at the allied conference here, when there were 6veral animated tilts. There was no meeting today of the conference proper, the time having Typen entirely devoted to consideration of the French proposal by the committee of experts. They did not have time to conclude their deliberations and will reassemble tomorrow when they hope to be able to draft their report for .ubmi.ssion to thp ronferpne in tlio -iftprnonn to the "J Vinift.

The i committee's task i merely to study the proposals with regard to their applicability anil their probable yield, without passing judgment on them. Among the new points examined today were the possibility of establishing customs barriers in the eastern boundary of German occupied territory whether it would be practical to tax everything entering or leaving the Ruhr region; the question of seizure of state owned mines, forests and domains on the Ictt bank of the Rhine, and also whether the 26 percent of customs) duties provided for Iti the agreement' of May. 10J1. which now goes to the ja'.l'ed t reasu ries. could, instead, be paid to the reparations commission thus forming part of the reparations fund. lU'plie to Objection.

These) are the high-light activities which will feature the American liar associations convention, opening Wednesday "the most Important conference! in the organization's history," according to Cordenio A. Severance, president of the association. Of the three main topics, Interest of lawyers and courts centers on the matter of uniform laws. The convention will recommend that the supreme court werk out a list of rules, after the fashion of federal court equity eases, which will insure uniformity of Jury case laws in each; state. For five years the bar association his been working on this plan.

SENATE APPROVES INCREASE IN DUTY ON SUGAR IMPORTS Rate Adopted Is Compromise Potash and Arsenic Put on Free List. WASHINGTON. Au 8. (By A. P.) The senate today approved an increase of three-tenths of a cent a pound In the tariff on sugar, rejected a plan for a government bounty of $9,500.000 for domestic potash producers and rescinded its former action In voting an lmpoet of two centa a p;und on white arsenic. Potash and white arsenic were placed on the free lin. Supporting his proposed substitute for the administration tariff bill, under which congre-v would rely upon the tariff commission to recommend changes in duties after full investigation, Sen. Jones, democr New .Moxico. told the senate tcday that the -pending measure was both unsatlsf ictiry and unnecessary, lie declared that the underwood Icaw uppleme nted by the emergency act to protect agriculture, was ade-quate to meet the situation. Itat ts Com prom le The .ugar rate of 2.3 cent a hundred was .i ccmpromise between the 2.5 cent duty urged by Louisiana cane and western beet sugar producers and the 2 cent duty proposed by the house and approved by the finance committee majority. It is three-tenths of a cnt above the tariff in the e-xisting emergency ac and LOG cent.- above that in the Urderwood act. The compromise was offered by i-'en. Smoot of Utah, ranking republican on the finance committee, and v. a3 accepted by the .-ame vote thit the senate rej'?et?d the 2. cent duty. 3" to ZÖ. 'oto Against Bounty The vote against the bounty on potash was 2 2 to 3 0, with 12 republican.1-) opposing and three democrats supporting. The republican-? were: Borah, r.npper. Cummins, Kdge, Jones of Washington. Ienroot. McCorriick, OJdie, Sterling. Townsend, Wadsworth ar.d Willi.". Tho democrat were: Jones of New .Mexico. Kendrick and Itansdell. Before considering the bounty, the senate voted 66 to 1 to strike out the provision by which a tariff duty would have b-?en imposed on potash for five years at the Fame rate that it was proposed to pay the bounty 24 cents a pound for the first two years. 2 cents for the third and 1 H cent for the fourth ear and one' cent for the fifth year. Sen. Shortridge, republican, California, alone voted against eliminating the duty, explaining that he thought the Industry should be lostered by a tariff and not by a federal bounty. Because of the operation of the 20 percent tariff differential allowed Cuba, the 2.:: cents rate on Fugar would work cut at 1.8 4 cents a pound on sugar from that country, which constitutes practically all of American Imports. This rate on Cuban sugar ii .24 of one cent above the existing tariff and .16 of one sent lower than propod by Sen. Broussard. democrat, Louisiana, who led the fight for the 2.T. cent rate. The sugar fight led to five roll call?, on several cf which republican leaders and the ilnance committee majority split. The republicans argieul-tural-tariff bloc voted practically polidly. however, first for the highest rate proposed and then for th Smoot compromise. 15 INJURED IN AUTO CRASH NEAR WABASH WABASH. Ind.
