MARION, Ohio, Aug. 14.-Elaborat-
ing upon his telegram to Senator Flint,
of California, promising to support
the Republican protective tariff doc
trine, Senator Harding announced him
self emphatically to-day as favoring
the establishment of tariff commits
sion as an adjunct to protective Con-
gress.
people may smile now, but mark
my words, this will be an issue and
you are going to hear a lot of shout
ing about the tariff before the cam
palgn is over" he declared with en-
phasis to correspondents.
Il do not know whether I am in
agreement with others on this, but |
favor tariff commission No Con-
gress can have all information neces-
sary as to diferentials and rates. I
regard tariff commission as neces-
sary adjunct to protective Congress,
an adjunct to a protective policy"
Senator Harding hastened to say
that his policy means in no way re-
version to the Congressional squabbes
Of twenty years ago over import
duties.
Il do not mean an old-time prohibi-
tive tariff" he said, "but tariff which
protects American interests"
DO you regard the present tariff
commission as incfficient?" he was
asked.
mo, I wouldn't say Inefficient" the
Senator replied. ut is not function
ing"
Tariff Seen as Big Issue
The Presidential candidate elabo-
rated freely on his forecast that the
tariff will be coming issue in the
campaign.
How can it be otherwise ?" he asked.
Europe is bound to make every posi-
Bile effort to rehabllitate her trade.
There is only one way she can do this.
We are the best buyers. America is the
chief nation that offers attractive mar
kets, outside of Japan and Spain.
Japan, with her imitativeness, produces
tor herself. / don't know about Spain"
The Senator announced he had ac-
cepted the invitation to attend the
Minnesota State Fair on Wednesday.
September 8, when he will deliver his
important agricultural address. He
Will take advantage of that occasion,
when facing tens of thousands of farm
ers, to declare in detail his policy for
dealing with farm problems. He
touched generally on the subject in his
acceptance speech
The Minnesota trip will be the SEN
ator's first departure from his front
porch. He will make Labor Day
speech from the front porch on Mon

Slavin Injury,
McCraw Says
Continued from pace one)

speech in the presence OF a charwoman
who was mopping up the floor near
their table. That McGraw was the
aggressor in this fight was asserted
IN an official statement OF the Lambs
house committee after an investigation.
McGraw was in bed when the inter-
viewers arrived In response 20 the in
vitation of DR.. William T. Bender. of
20 Fort Washington Avenue, the Giants
physician, who had Informed District
Attorney Swami on Friday that his pa
tlent was unable to visit the District
Attorneys Office. Friday afternoon Nc
Graw refused to see MIR. Unger, of the
prosecutors staff. on the ground of i'll
ness. The request from McGraw came
following the District Attorneys an
nounced intention to place the matter
in the hands of the grand jury.
My condition has been such-I have
been under a physic:- and mental
ssrain-that l haven: been able to tell
my version of what happened at the
Lambs. The newspapers are giving me
entirely the worst of it. At the proper
time my counsel will produce witnesses
who saw the whole thing and who Will
tell just what took place"
This was one of the statements of
the manager Of the Giants quoted by
Mr.. Unger.
A delegation of reporters had the
door slammed in the face of their
spokesman a few minutes after the off
CO interviewing party lett.
Winfield Liggett, the third member of
the Lambs who made the trip to Nc
Graw's home, was not very well known
to him. McGraw said
At ST. Luke's Hospital last night
Slavin's condition was still further i'm
proved. There yet remains some danger,
it was explained, and his mind has not
yet cleared although he recognizes his
wife and son and few other visitors,
and is able to speak a few words.
McGraw told Mr.. Unger that he is
prepared to go before the grand jury
when the investigation is presented, and
repeat his statement under oath.
A stir was caused at the Lambs by
McGraws contribution to the liuuor
scandal. McGraw insisted to Assistant
District Attorney Unger that he was
drunk at the Lambs and purchased
liquor there.
A. 0. Brown, chairman of the house
committee of the club, reiterated his
statements of the last few days that no
such thing as club liquor existed. of
McGraw bought liquor from an en-
ployee of this club, the club is not
sponsible, and he did so without the
knowledge of the house committee" ."

cation in Western Europe against the
barbarans of the East; that her peo-
pie once again are fighting in their
invaded land, without arms, hungry

laration for free and autonomous
Polish state and the employment of
ALI available means" TO this end is
noted with pride and profound graft

rot conclude an honorable peace with
the Bolsheviki; that she embarked d
upon defensive war and was en-
couraged by the Allies to do so, and
that charges OF imperialism against
Poland are unjustified.
Text of Resolution
The meetings, it is proposed, will
resolve:
THAT Poland has sent to this coun-
try 100000 of her sons and daugh-
full share in upholding the doctrines
of freedom that have made the United
States great above all other nations;
that during the World War they gave
of their lives and of their substance
to the utmost; and that they arc
united as one in support of the ideals
of liberty for which the republic Of
Poland has been fighting alone and
for which the sons OF Poland had
fought SO valiantly in the armies Of
America
"That at this gathering we pledge,
as American citizens, to our govern
ment our loyalty and announce our
Willingness to make every sacrifice to
uphold our government to the farthest
limit in its endeavor to preserve the
freedom of humanity; that the United
States government, in keeping with
the declaration of the Secretary of
State, in view Of the impossible terms
and conditions laid down by the Boil
sheviki. extend to Poland further
moral and such material aid as will
strengthen the position Of the Polish
government and make possible the
conclusion of an honorable and just
