work must have taught him the possibilities Of German
competition under low rates Of duty.
AS far back ember. 1905 when the last Republican

Indeed. II looks as II the Interstate

There would be something almost
grotesque in this revolutionary trans

resting on principles that have been
taken for granted for years as indis-

In view Of the fact that the average family consumes
about two packages OF dates year, and view Of the
further fact that Hoover has tried TO aect the
