C caring way for Union OF The Lutheran
SYEOds.

At the meeting # the N nth
Carolina Lutheran Synod a. Con-
cord Friday, a report of the JOINT
commissions Of she North Carolina
and Tennessee Synods to effect a
merger of the two Synods was pre-.
sented and discussed. The priu-
opal featufe of the discussion
ceutered on item 3, which disap-
proved ef a minister teirg ordain'
ed who is a member of a flaterIa'
order. the contention being that
the Church provides for the social
and spiritual wants of man.
The Tennessee Synod has always
prohibited its ministers from be
ing members of fraternal orders
nd insisted upon this provisl~ Il
IN the proposed merger. The item
vas adopted by a large majority.
This is believed to be a long step
toward . union of tha two bodies
The proposition for the merger
sill be presented TO the Tennessee
Synod at its commiug nesting

THREE FRIDAYS BASKETBALL VALLEYS BIG LIST
Another League May Try
to Locate in Harrisburg

Harrisburg is wanted by many
leagues. A dispatch from New York
tells of plans to organize the Eastern
League. A conference was held on
Tuesday. The information from the
metropolis is as follows
while the International and other
minor leaguers were busily engaged in
selling and transferring franchises and
trying to form mergers and the like,
another collection of basketball men
met informally for the purpose of dis
cussing the formation of another
minor league in cities that are hun
CRY for baseball as one of them put
it.
The cities proposed for the circuit
which may be called the Eastern
league are Jersey City, Paterson, Will
mington, Trenton, Lancaster, York,
Altoona and Harrisburg.
dick Carroll, who helped mate
rally to launch the Federal league, is
said to be deeply interested in the
founding of such n league.

WILSON SHIFTS ON
TARIFF BOARD

CONTINUED From First Page.l
Mr.. Wilson explained, caused him to
switch his policy. He declared that
now it is apparent that the United
States should have a competent in
strument of inquiry along the whole
lines of the many questions affecting
our foreign commerce"
Unchanged on Protection
The President declared that his
attitude with regard to protection is
unchanged. The tariff board he advo-
Gates, he said, would have nothing to
do with questions of policy, def--ing
only with the facts of the tariff situa-
tion for the guidance of legislation.
He declared that it would be folly
at this time or until "all the altered
conditions are clearly understood" to
tinker with the tariff, but that as soon
as the facts are obtained action should
be taken to prevent unfair competition
between the United States and other
nations, 1t is evident that Mr.. Will
son desires early acion to prevent the
dumping of foreign goods into AM
American industries.
Mr.. Wilson's letter to Mr.. Kitchin
was made public at the White House
last night, together with letter writ
ten by Mr.. Wilson to Mr.. Kitchin last
Monday, advocating the creation of
the tariff board and outlining his
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-01-27

has returned to the world and the ma
tions of Europe once more take up
their tasks of commerce and industry
with the energy of those who must
bestir themselves to build anew. Just
what these changes will be no one can
certainly foresee or confidently pre-
dict. There are no calculable, be-
cause no stable elements in the prob
lem. The most we can do is to make
what we have the necessary instru-
mentalities of information constantly
at our service so that we may be sure
that we know exactly what we are
! dealing with when we come to act, if
1t should be necessary to act at all. We
must first certainly know what 1t IS
that we are seeking to adapt ourselves
to. ! may ask the privilege of ad-
dressing you more at length on this
important matter little later in your
session.
II need hardly say that I appre-
ciate very fully the motives by which
you are yourself actuated and il is
therefore with the greater confidence
that lay the whole matter thus fully
before you. Congress has so much
to do at the present time that it is
clearly impossible that it should be
able to collect all the data which such
a commission would gather, and | feel
that it would presently find such II
| commission indispensable to it,
/ In his letter sent to Mr.. Kitchin,
Monday, the President said
II am convinced as | suppose every
disinterested person must be, that it
would be a mistake to provide for
such a board with the idea of serving
any particular theory of fiscal policy.
What we would need would be, above
all things, board as much as pos
sible free from any strong proposes
sion in favor of any political party
and capable of looking at the whole
economic situation of the country
with dispassonate and disinterested
scrutiny. I believe that we could OBJ
tain such a board if the proper legis-
lation were enacted, and it is quite
clear to me what the field of its in
quiry and it's activities should be-
He outlined in detail his plans for
the work of such a board, including
the collection of tariff figures, investi-
cation of the output of products at
home and abroad, of the workings of
commercial treaties and preferential
agreements. of unfair methods of
competition, of dumping and of
scientific methods of creating new
industries and building up old ones"
