Rain fell quite heavily while the

dealt on tariff revision. He said no
nation can stand radical readjust-
ments of the tariff schedule at short
intervals. Continual sweeping chang
eS cannot but be disastrous. but
where Industrial needs shift as rap
idly as they do here, where we often
live in one year what Europe does in
10. we need the reapplication of eS-
tablished principles to changed condi-
tions. We must readiust without re
sorting to violent surgical opera
paraIyze the business of the country.
We must solve this problem with par
tisanship as secondary considera-
