self, and unless SOmeCnng more tang
ible is suggested than that the
Government send $58,OO0,00O of good
money chasing after $1O5,OOO,0OO of
bad money, the outlook for Muscle
Shoals is dubious, even though Mr..
Ford and others may shout about in
dustrial philanthropy" the "fertili-
ger trust opposition" red tape, and
irrelevant questions concerning
phases of the subject that the Co.
vernment perfers not to leave in
allegiance when considering the flu
ture of the great project.
The Administration is anxious
about Muscle Shoals, and it believes
that someone is soon to make bone
fide offer for it. The present delays
are regretable, but when Mr.. Ford
finishes blowing the froth off his
cup and decides to "put UP or shut
up" then he may be one of those
who will make the Government a
sound offer. Right now the Govern
ment is waiting for those with "post-
age stamp bids" to subside. Sec
rotary Weeks says Mr.. Ford is
"raw," and the evidences all supports
this charge.
ANOTHER "STAR"
IN THE MOVIES
Postmaster Geenral Will HI. Hays
is to become factor in the moving
picture industry, and in his retire
men from the Cabinet it is explained
that he expects to render a great
"public service" in improving the
character of moving picture shows.
There is no question but what the
opportunity to use the pitchfork in
throwing lot of filth onto the dump
is excellent, and an energetic man
like Hays is apt to earn a lot; IT
not all, of the tremendous salary that
has tempted him to say goodbye to
post that most people believe is
more honorable and which likely offers
greater opportunity for "public SER
vice" than the new job that Mr.. Hays
will engage upon.
Moost people may have forgotten
it, but when Mr.. McAdoo resigned
from President Wilson's cabinet, the
moving pictures had lot to do with
his decision, and he linked his in
terests with some of the producers at
that time. Thus it transpires that
with Mr.. Hays also engaged in the
"film business" that Presidential Cab
inets will have furnished two stars
in the industry.
When it comes to deciding between
an offer Of hundred thousand dol
lars a year net or $4,000 as Cab
met officer, it is easy to find the rea-
son why Mr.. Hays looks with favor
upon the moving pictures and finds
in that field great chance for pub
lie" as we'll as private" service.
But, all ether considerations aside,
the movies need positive, aggressive
clean-minded men like MIR. Hayes,
and while there may be some ques-
lions raised about the propriety of

AMERICAN VALUES
IN THE TARIFF

AMERICAN VALUES
IN THE TARIFF
{ A persistent campaign has been
in progress ever since the present tar
iff bill was proposed to change the
method of the House Ways and Means
Committee to assess imports accord
ing to the prices obtained in the
American markets. The selfish in
terests always show up when tariff
bill is being enacted, and the export
ers tried to make it appear that the
value of the goods in the foreign
countries. that produced them, should
obtain. The "nigger in the woodpile"
in this suggestion was that the goods
would get into this country by pay
ing only fraction of the rate that
would be collected under the Ameri-
can rates. Under the arrangement
that has finally been agreed upon
the wholesale selling price in the
American market of Amenican-made
goods comparable to the imported
articles will prevail. Where COM
parable goods cannot be found the
rates will be fixed on basis of the
cost Of the imported goods plus trans
portation charges, importers commits
sions and other charges.
Committee members are consider
ing proposals presented by Senator
Smoot Of Utah giving the President
authority, when conditions warrant
to increase or decrease the rates
written in the bill, or to proclaim
American valuation in the case of
given lists of imports or both. A
deprecated currency proposition also
is under consideration as part of
the whole general scheme.
WITH APOLOGIES TO JOHN"
There have been plenty of surprises
growing out of the Conference for
the Limitation of Armament, but the
Chinese delegation produced more
thrills than any other group that
has been at the Capital. Other
Capitals have always been the cen
tiers of discussion of state matters,
but Washington has been forum of
debate this winter that has perhaps
never been equaled before in the
Worlds history. Among the speak
ers most in demand have been those
of the Chinese delegation, and they
have shown a rare ability and q
clear understanding of international
problems, and entered protests, argu-
ments and defences for their own
country that have been little short
of marvellous. The popular Ameri-
can estimate of the Chinese based
upon acquaintance with the celestial
laundrymen has been thoroughly re-
vised, and never again will "John
Chineman" be regarded in Washing
ton as an inferior minded person.
The Chinese certainly have proved
a pleasant shock to those who have
witnessed them in action in the big
international events growing out Of
the Conference.
FARMER ON FEDERAL
RESERVE BOARD
The Federal Reserve Board has be-
come the most powerful factor in fin
ancal affairs within Government in
situations, and as a result the agri-
cultural interests of the country
have been insistent that they may
! be given representative on that
Board. The so-called farm bloc"
said they would insist-and they did
insist, on this representative, and
the President finally came to their
support with the result that mea-

positions as stepping stones to big
positions in the business world, never
the less there will be plenty Of patrio-
tic politicians who "won the election
to fill all the vacancies that turn up
in Washington.

southern frontiers have stopped the
smuggling of arms from German
Silesia to Turkey through Poland
and Rumania. 1t was announced TO.
day by the Polish police headquar-
ters.
Headquarters of this traffic has
been a factory in Gleiwitz. which
ostensibly breaks up disused arms
and smelts them for industrial pur-
poses. Old arms and arms lacking
essential parts were smuggled over
the Polish frontier at night, the
missing parts being sent separately.
All that was required to make the
weapons serviceable again was to
reassemble the parts.
In addition to the arms smuggled
from Germany and purchased in
Russia the Turks captured a vast
amount OF artillery, small arms and
ammunition from the Greeks.

Freed of Murder,
Sissler Is Still In
Jail in Rum Case
Virginia Law Prevents Wife
from Testifying in Killing,
of Business Partner.
BY International News Service.

ACCOMAC, Va. Dec. 14.-Mark
W. sissler. acquitted today Of the
charge Of killing Jesse ]. Hurst, his
business partner, is still In Jail here
and will remain at least six months
He is serving a sentence for boot.
Logging while two similar charges
are also pending. His wife is also
in Jail.
Sissler's acquittal was due to the
fact that the laws of Virginia do
not permit the State to compel a
wife to testify against her hus.
band. The prosecution did not call
her as a witness.
Mrs. Sissler had made a state.
ment in which she told of a quarrel
her husband had with Hurst and
practically accused him of killing
the man. The statement could not
be used at the trial. All other
evidence against Sissler was cir.
cunstantial.
