Heart. Clark and Reciprocity

J. A. Macdonald, editor OF the To-
routo Globe, admittedly one OF the
strong forces In Canadian public life.
In a recent address said the people
OF Canada are now repining over
over their rejection OF reciprocity.
He declared:
The people OF Canada have returned 20

Intelligent .sm0tion Of the crowd. The an

away BY q and acted rashly. They are
now In a repsntanf mood.
W. r. Hearst, who was rampant
for reciprocity and is yet, makes
much Of this statement in his papers,
expressing surprise that a people 30
rational and deliberate as the Cana
dams could have had their imagina-
tions 90 lnAamed By hypnotism. Mr..
Hearst, in his editorials. says moth

He still persists IN boosting Champ
Clark AZ q democratic presidential

Congress.

Congress will not have TO play pol
itics TO keep busy at this present
long session. IL has enough i'm
Rortant business on hands seriously
to engage every hour OF its time.
Some Of this business is not only
important. but most urgent. as tariff
revision and Alaskan government
legislation. and Il IS very likely that
the people will hold responsible the
element that seeks to defeat action
on these matters
On the record Of this session,
more than on that Of the late extra
session, congress must look for pop
ular judgment and results OF the
coming campaign probably will de-
pend. From present indications,
excuses or subterfuges are going to
count for little with the people after
congress has adjourned. Unless the
temper Of the country is deceptive.
the people are not in the mood to
reward political treachery at a time
when they deem straightforward leg
islation necessary.
For the first time in history, con-
gress. In undertaking tariff revision,
is to have the help OF a nonpartisan
tariff board, something that for
many years has been widely advo-
Gated. The outcome win be watched
with the keenest sort OF interest.
Those who have not favored this
method should not allow their preju-
dice to interDose obstacles to a full
test of fits efficiency. II it works
we'll as its advocates expect. or bad
as its opponents insist, It can only be
demonstrated by fair trial.

Defense Fund Publicity

According to Samuel Gompers. up
wards Of $4,000 was raised by sp.
peais 70 members Of organized labor
for contributions for the defense
fund in the Mcnamara case. II r.
intimated also from Los Angeles that
little Of this money remains unex-
pended
We have had a great deal Of dis
cussion and agitation OF campaign
fund publicity, resulting in national
and state laws requiring public ac-
counting Of such funds, and while no
Law that we know OF requires de-
Tense fund publicity. Il would seem
that a complete accounting to the
contributors In this particular case
would be as much II not more desir-
able than an accounting OF political
pots.
II Is wholly within the range Of
possibilities that 100000 could be
expended for preparation for a trial
for perfectly legitimate objects and
services, but, n so, II must have
been distributed with a lavish hand
10 men rating their values high on
the scale. The defense fund that
came out Of the wages Of hard work
ing laborers and mechanics earning
few dollars a day, has evidently
been absorbed by lawyers, de-
tectlves. spoilers and other onhang-
ers around the defense camp.
II the money has all been spent
legitimately, there will be no besita-
ton or unreasonable delay about
publicity. II It's custodians decline
70 disclose just where It has gone.
the inference win not be crsditable
nor will the rank and file OF organ
lied labor be apt to respond 30 gem
erously again TO similar appeals on
behalf Of men more deserving.
