MUST OVERTHROW THE REDS
Only Hope for Rehabilitation Of Rus
sia,. Declares Secretary Of
State Hughes.

Washington, April 19-In the over
throw Of the soviet government lies
the only hope for rehabilitation Of
Russia and the resumption of trade
with the United States is the opinion
of Secretary of State Hughes ex-
pressed in a letter to Samuel Com
pers and made public here.
Analysing the soviet economic and
industrial conditions now prevailing
in Russia in response to Mr.. Com
pers' request that the truth be told
about that country, Secretary Hughes
letter is regarded in official circles
here as an even stronger document
that his recent note on Russian trade.
s'The devastation of industry in
Russia has been so complete" he
states, "the poverty of the country is
so acute, the people are so hungry
and the demand for commodities is
so great that at present Russia repre-
sents a gigantic vacuum and no evil
dence exists that the unfortunate sit
uation sis likely to be alleviated so
long as the present political and eco
monte system continues.

urged.

with filing throat, "but If there's any
one around. don't STOP"
This was all the warning she dared
give him. Then she paused long
enough to see him jump into the canoe,
and for few minutes she stood
watching the craft as it danced away
on the water toward Ithaca. Then she
started for the doctors.

Tonnibel gave a gasping sob. They
had all gone and left her stranded in
land of strangers. Because it was
no longer her home, she began to love
the silent old canal boat, and to wish
with all her soul that Uriah and Edith
would come walking down the cabin
steps.
For a long time she sat thinking,
looking out over the water, sometimes
with tears flooding her lids, sometimes
dry-eyed with fright. After while she
got up, took Gussie to the lake, where,
much to the little animals disgust,
she washed her with a scrubbing
brush and soap. Then she carefully
washed herself, letting her feet and
legs hang over the end of the dock
until they, too, were as clean as her
little friend
1t was while she was sitting there
with the pig in her arms that canoe
slipped under the overhanging trees
and came toward the cc-al boat swift

show of interest. Directly in front of
her the paddle remained suspended,
and the boat came to stop. Tomb
bel's heart thumped, then seemed to
fall to the pit of her stomach. Here,
right before her, was the Salvation
man.
"How do you do?" he said, smiling
at her. II see you're having q nice

Tonnibel shook her head.
''No, amt, and Gussie amt,

TARIFF BILL PASSES
House Approves Measure by a
Vote Of 269 to 112.
Fifteen Democrats Voted for and Nine
Republicans Against the
Proposed Act.

Washington, April 18.-By substan-
TALLY party vote and an oyerWhelm-
ing majority, the house passed the
anti-dumping and foreign exchange
sections. The vote was 269 for 60 112
against. and came at the close of two
days of debate Fifteen Democrats
voted for and nine Republicans against
the bill.
The bill, which now goes to the sem
ate, where Republican leaders have
promised to give it a top place on
their calendar imposes duties on APP
proximately twenty-five important farm
products for period of six months,
unless repealed within that period by
the general tariff bill on which the
house ways and means committee now
is at work.
The antf-dumping section of the bill
provides that in the case Of foreign
made goods being brought into the
American markets and offered for sale
at prices below the cost of produc-
ton, there shall be levied, in addition
to all other duties, duty that will
bring their laid-down cost up to the
level of the cost of production, plus
transportation costs.
The foreign exchange feature stipu-
lates that in the liquidation of Gus
toms duties, no foreign money shall
be estimated at lower than one-third
it's par value This will automatical-
ly serve to increase the duties on i'm
ports from all countries where money
has deprecated greater than two
thirds in face value.

Washington, April 16.-The reply

Of April regarding the japanese

The text Of the French note, which
is in the form of a preliminary reply,
was made public both in Washington
