If only because they have suffered so

would never permit an army organi-

That far from being an element Of

There will be no more racing 5000

Cardinal OConnell then told the

the Catholics and Professionals in
America and how both cooperate in
the social and economic life. He
said that no enmity existed between
the members of the two faiths and
that when good and noble work
was to be done both united for the
common good. The pontiff, hearing
the Boston cardinals words, seemed
deeply moved. He said:

FRANCE WATCHING
US. TARIFF ACTION
Already Affected by Wine
Prohibition, and Fears
Other Losses.
BY HIRAM X. MODERWELL.


Copyright. 1922.
PARIS, March 1.-Progress of the
Fordney tariff bin in the American
Congress is being watched with anx-
iety In French commercial circles.
Misgivings concerning American tar
iff intentions have been 80 abundant
that danger still exists Of running
the g-eates part of the French-Amer-
lean trade through the awkward han
ding Of tariff legislation.
What happens when two nations
agreement is clearly shown in the
present Franco-Spanish trade quarrel
which has resulted in the virtual ces-
sation Of commerce between the two
countries for the last three months
Leading Frenchmen do not conceal
their fear that the Fordney bill will
be administered in such a way as to
lead to danger of a similar result.
Reasons for Anxiety.
The French anxiety may be ex-
planned thus:
The French fear that the proposed
high tariff will bar French exports
to the United States. They also think
that France will be unable to buy
from the United States If prohibited
by high tariffs from paying will
goods for their purchases. They fully
recognize the sovereign rights OF thu
United States. yet 1t must not be for
gotten that Frances purchasing pow
er is already severely crippled b!
tho American prohibition of wine
which is one Of the leading French
exports. Hence Frenchmen hope tina
the United States will not cripple
them further.
what especially worries France I:
the novel feature in the Fordney bill
as recently revised by the Senate com
mittee, namely. the power given tn
President to modify the tariffs at hi!
discretion. The French seem to feal
, that this power will be exercised in
discriminately against the low-exchang
countries under the pretext OF prevent
ing dumping Of cheap goods on tn
American markets. 1t is possible tina
the French also fear that this discretion
might be used as a political weapon
for instance, as a threat to force
France to reduce her army: Since thu
Washington conference FrenchmeI
feel mystified at the American psy
chology, and distrust their own judg
ment concerning the United States.
The French fear that this discretion
might be used to alter the tariffs a
frequent intervals, thus making flu

The chief stated today that the regu-

which seats more than 1880 persons
must have the sprinkler system and

work day with that in other businesses
and industries, making the contention
that the Seven-hour day in government
service at present corresponds to similar
work in outside establishments. In my
opinion he says. any addition to the
number of working hours of men en-
ployed in government offices will be a
signal failure so far as any increase in
the volume of work is concerned. for the
very good reason that the extra hours
will take the punch and pep out of the
| employees, thereby reducing the quality
and volume of their work
In an editorial entitled Why Not Quit

report of the congressional joint COM

| mrnded no more than seven hours
