 Newspaper and magazine publish CTS appeared before the House Ways and Means Committee today to op- pose the request of newsprint manu- lecturers that a tariff of $15 a ton on all newsprint imported from any country except Canada be imposed. The publishers declared that Ameri- can forests are so depleted that no tariff would cause any noticeable expansion of the American news print industry and urged free entry of paper from all foreign countries as well as from Canada
 Silk manufacturers also are seek ing a protective tariff. Asking res toration of the Payne-Aldrich tariff rates on silk, manufacturers told the committee that they were alarmed" of the increasing ability of the Jap anese to copy rare patterns, enabling them to make heavy inroads on American trade.
 Before the war, the manufacturers said the Japanese were handicapped by lack of style information and the character of goods consumed in the American market. This handicap, however. witnesses declared, is rap, idly disappearing.

 OLDENBURG, Germany, Feb. s. President M. Tantzen Heering of the German free state of Oldenburg, one of the powerful political figures of northwest Germany, declares that the spread of Bolshevism through Western Europe, and eventually to the Americas, depends upon econ omic issues over which the German people have lost control.
 The Germans will never turn to Bolshevism until economic condi- tions have driven them to despera- tion, the president told The Asso- ciated Press correspondent.
 Bolshevism Opposed.
 This desperation will only come when, with a good will to work and that will here is very strong work cannot be had" he continued. up to this time Bolshevism has found no sound footing in Germany. although there are some cranks whc arc chasing the Soviet rainbow.

 'The character of the people of Germany and particularly of Olden- burg, is too sturdy, quiet and sen sible to tolerate the sentimental foolishness of Bolshevism. Only econ omic causes could drive them to- Bolshevism, but at this time they have lost control of these causes. The Treaty of Versailles made us strongly dependent economically upon the victorious nations. Econ omic pressure has been brought toI bear Reduced production and it's are keenly felt. Neces Earies off life are strictly rationed Prices have been driven up; our money has lost it's buying power. The working people will not endure the aid for workless' which they feel lowers them morally.
 Production Limited.
 "The worst situation for us Is that the necessary means for agricultural production is limited As importa- tions of foodstuffs remain small this production is of the utmost import ance to us. Failure to produce is ally. It is a question of sound business procedure to let us produce, build up our industries, stand once more upon a firm econ omic foundation.
 "One of the Entente's policies which seem to me incredibly short sighted is that of forcing the Ger man people to deliver from their already dangerously reduced stock of cattle 600,000 to 800,000 more cows. This will not only mean an increase in our infant mortality. the death Of thousands of children, but that mea; prices must again go up, the buying power of our money again go down That is bad business The other nations cannot sell their wares to a

BUDAPEST, Feb. S.-One of the latest and most drastic steps of the new Hungarian Government is the deportation of undesirable citizens, those suspected of Bolsheviki ten dencies or those known to be op- posed to the present form of govern ment Hundreds of these have come to Hungary since the outbreak of the war. Now their houses and flats are being comandeered and turned over to homeless refugees from Pennsylvania and other sections who have been living in freight cars ill the railroad yards.
 The Hungarian newspapers print d warning to 150,000 laborers of States to desist from their reported intention to return to their native land at this time. The papers say that the economic crisis in America can never be as bad as it is here and urged their countrymen not to further emDdTTdSS hungary uleHi- ployment problem.
 The majority of the people have parted company with the last of their articles of jewelry and the dealers from other lands are not getting many takers of their offers of fabulous prices for gold and sil- yer. What is called the State Ex change Bureau, a sort of nationel pawnshop, has paid as high as 80,- 900 crowns for a kilogram (of POP pounds) of scrap gold and dealers are offering 10000 crowns in an effort to coax another kilogram from people who may be hoarding their precious metal. For pure gold 25O,- 900 crowns a kilogram is offered with no takers. The explanation is that most of the gold has been smuggled to other countries where the money has more value.
