Washington, April .22-"Heralding
the era of honest competition" Rep
resentative Oscar w. Underwood of
Alabama, chairman of the ways and
means committee, closed the debate
on the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment in the house.
The enactment of the reciprocity
bill into law, he said, would mark the
end of the period of EXCLUSION in
the economic policy of the country
insofar as customs laws affect the in.
dustrial conditions of the nation.
For fifty years" he said, the Re-
publican party has maintained the pol:
icy of excluding from the home mar,
ket, as far as it has been able to do
so, competitive products from other.
countries. In the beginning this policy
was inaugurated with the express
declaration that it was intended to de-
velop new industries until they were
strong enough to stand alone and face,
in the open, the markets of the world
and the rivalry Of our protective com.
petitors, but the greed for gain has
driven the advocates Of the theory
far beyond the position they main
tanned at it's inception. Today there
is hardly a great American industry
that is not exporting it's surplus prod.
ucts to the open markets of the world
and selling them in free competition
with the manufacturers and crops OF
our foreign competitors. ..-.. ...-,

WEIGHING MACHINE FOR NAVY
Porhydrometer Will Tell Dead Weiaht
Of ships Cargo at
Any Time.

A porhydroYneter Is to be installed
on the Neptune, the newest collier
built for the navy, for experimental
purposes. The secretary of the navy
has just authorized an expenditure a,
about $500 for that purpose. A por-
hydrometer is an apparatus designed
to weigh with the utmost accuracy
the dead weight placed on board or
removed from any ship, barge or other
floating vessel to which it is fitted. 1t
is based on the principle that a body
floating in liquid of whatever den.
sity displaces a quantity of the liquid
exactly equal to it's own weight. Ply
its application vessel is transformed
into gigantic weighing machine. Any
thing added to or removed from its
cargo is accurately recorded by the
machine in accordance with its
weight in pounds. That applies to hu-
man beings as well as other freight,
SO that the absene of a single pas,
senger or member of the crew of =
vessel or the addition of another per.
ssh is recorded.
The weighing is done by means O;
an barometer connected with a vertic.
