The burglars picked the lock on the

BRlSTOW TALKS
ON HIS SUGAR
AMENDMENT

Washington, D. c.. Aug. 1S.-Sena.
tor Bristow opened debate on the free
sugar schedule today by proposing a
reduction from 1,90 per hundred
pounds, the existing duty, to $1.52 1-2,
with additional reductions in periods
of three and six years, which finally
would bring the rate down to 1927 IL
and would leave the Cuban 90 per cent
differential.
81 do not think it wise at this time, !"
said Senator Bristow, ito disturb the
reciprocal relations we have with
Cuba. | believe these reductions can
~ made with absolute safety to our
gar industry and it would continue
grow and prosper. If the proposed
ruinous Legislation could be defeated,
in my humble judgment, within less

would be producing within our borders

lean people consumed"
Senator Bristow said he could not
find language strong enough to de-

Washington, D. c., Aug. 1S.-Secre-

today about plans for his lecture tours.
There has not been the slightest
change in my plans and I have not
thought of abandoning lecturing," he
said
"I expect to lecture just as I said I
would and for the reasons that I gave.
| take it for granted that I will have
a chance to take vacation just as
other officials have and during my
vacation I expect to lecture as needs
may require The only reason why
my lecture dates have been cancelled
during the last three weeks is because
I have felt that should remain here
owing to the work that the department
has at hand. But these conditions will
not continue always. When the time
comes for me to take my vacation, I
shall utilize so much of it as l may
find necessary for lecturing."
