Congress has in a most practical
way declared for expansion of trade
promotion by increasing the appro-
priation 30 per cent. Secretary
Hoover, commander-in-chief Of the
A. q. F. Of foreign trade. announces
that the foreign trade Of the United
States IL nearer normal than the trade
Of the United Kingdom. France or
Germany which arc our principal
competitors. He finds it. even in
times Of great depression, higher
than our pre-war level.
But our trade has shifted somewhat
as to commodities owing to changed
eoonimic currents And corporation
between the now commodity d.
visions here in Washington and the
industries they represent has made II
possible for field ofices to concen-
trate moro Of their time to prepara-
tton Of basic data of moro COM
prehensive character both by COM
modities and by regions or market
areas. So the American trade ex-
peditionary> force OF experts and
specialists are going to be able to get
down to moro specific, particular and
local study. instead Of general sur
veys.
Now, Europe is by far the most i'm
portant export customer and for that
reason especial care Is being taken
by Dr.. julius Klein. director of the

meros, in charge Of the re-organiza-
ton Of the A. q. 3. Of trade. to see
that the commercial interests OF the
IJnited States In that area are most
carefully guarded during the coming
year.

siderate number Of travelling special

planned TO Secretary Hughes that while
the Department could quite properly, In
view of their apparent lack of good
faith in the matter, prohibit the further
transit across United States territory
oe Chinese aliens destined for Cuba, the
futility Of so doing is apparent when 1t
is considered that other routings from
China to Cuba are already being utilized,
perhaps to a greater extent than are the
routes which carry them through the
United States
II the movement of Chinese laborers
to Cuba could in some manner be
checked, the Secretary asserted, "the
problem OF this Government In coping
with the smuggling situation would be
relieved. although doubtless a large
percentage will eventually seek to gain
unlawful entry to this country, and In all
probability many OF them will succeed
in gaining entry owing to the lack OF
proper machinery on this side with
which to frustrate their endeavors."

No 1900 Pennsylvania avenue (the
White House, will be the real storm
center of the battle over the s5,000.-
900, 900 bonus raid which begins in the
Senate on Wednesday. Every maneu-
yer connected with the preliminaries
for the oral conflict over the scheme to
burden the people with heavier taxes
was predicated to-day on probable or
possible Intervention on the part of
the President.
Up to tonight there had been no
actual or concrete development to indi-
cate that it is the purpose OF the Presi
dent to supplement his disapproval of
the McCumber bill, which Is the only
bonus measure that the supporters of
the gratuity scheme have any thought
of passing.
Attempts to procure from the Presi-
dent definite statement of his pres
ent estimate of the bonus proposal will
undoubtedly be made by the leaders on
both sides of the argument before the
short arm fighting over 1t begins in the
Senate Such a statement from him
at this moment would settle at least
one phase Of the controversy.
Effect OF Intervention.
A positive declaration that he does
not look with favor upon any attempt to
further strain tho already overstrained
resources OF the Treasury or to impose
further taxes on the people of the
country would greatly increase the
number of Senators opposed to the
McCumber plan and might result in
the rejection Of 1t without delay by a
majority of votes, though present In
dications favor it's passage.
An intimation from the President
that he might sign bill modified to
imply merely recognition Of the bonus
principle would unquestionably cur
tan the protracted debate that now
appears imminent.
Whether the President will consent
to express his present views on either
or both Of the propositions is a mat
ter of lively speculation in Senatorial
circles.
The most recent and direct informa-
tion of the White House view reach
ing the Senate clearly indicated the
Presidents determination to insist thar
the bonus bill provide an acceptable
plan for financing it without burden
ing the country with further taxes.
Not half a dozen Of the ninety-six Sem
ators believe he will approve the Nc

any financial feature. Even the most

DAVIS WOULD HALT
CHINESE SMUGGLING
Secretary Asks Closer Coopera-
tion Between United States
and Cuba.
5000 READY TO SAIL
Suggests Movement Of Coolies
to Caribbean From the
Orient Be Checked.
$4,000 READY TO SAIL

WAsHrNdToN, Aug. 81 (Associated
Press) Smuggling of aliens into the
United States, particularly Chinese from
Cuba. constitutes one of the most seri-
Gus problems before the Department of
Labor, Secretary Davis declared to-day
in commenting upon efforts being made
to obtain closer cooperation between the
Cuban Government and the United
States to suppress the practice.
1t became known that negotiations be-
gan In October, when Secretary Hughes
asked the Cuban Legation here to call
certain features OF the situation to the
attention of officials in Havana. Since
then the legation has sent several other
inquiries to its home Government. but
has received no formal reply.
A letter to Secretary Hughes by Sec
retary Davis August stated that the
Labor Department has deemed 1t proper
as well as advisable 10 present this mat
ter (smugglng OF Chinese from Cuba
into the United States) for the consider
alton of your department, with the re-
quest that. II you approve OF that course,
the American Minister at Havana or
other proper representatives OF this Gov
ernment make appropriate representa-
tions to the Government OF Cuba with
tho object Of ascertaining II restrictions
of character which will serve to
materially check the movement to that
country OF aliens OF the Chinese race
may not be imposed under the laws Of
that country"
Would Check Smuggling.
Mr.. Davis also suggested that the
Cuban Government might be able to
devise some plan whereby the departure
from ports of Cuba of craft engaged in
the smuggling Of aliens to our coast
rnd "who are not, or may not be. eligi-
BILE for admission may be materially
checked" He said his department was
very gravely concerned over the situa-
tion which now prevails on our southern
Atlantic and Gulf coasts growing out Of
the smuggling over from Cuba OF
aliens In large numbers" and explained
that '1t seems to be the generally ac-
cepted view of persons in touch with the
situation that virtually the entire present
Chinese population OF Cuba Except. Of
course, those who are engaged In busi-
ness there) have the one thought upper
most in mind of gaining entry to the
United States, which entry must neces-
sarily be accomplished by unlawful
means"
Secretary Davis declared the Labor
Department recently had a rather ex-
tensive investigation made into SNUG
cling matters on the Florida coast,
and its Investigators spent some time In
Cuba looking into the situation there"

bill through by a majority approx
imating two to one. The opposition Is
equally confident that before a vote
is reached the division over the project
will be very much closer than the sup
porters Of the scheme predict. 1t is
significant that in the controversy
over the probable lineup Of the Senate
the bonus supporters exhibit little, IL
ary. confidence In their ability to re-
pass the bonus over the veto Of the
President.
Opposing Senators who have care
fully canvassed the Senatorial senti-
ment on this phase of the situation
are positive executive disapproval will
be upheld. The estimates Of the rival
groups on this point are therefore far
apart and contingent upon develop
ments of the battle both In the Senate
and in the region Of the White House.
The politicians In the American
Legion who have made the Capitol a
daily rendezvous display much more
concern over the outcome of the pend
ing battle than they publicly care to
admit Their propaganda machine Is
going full tilt and is deluging Senators
with arguments. pleas. threats and
promises inte lded to touch the hearts
if not the hardheaded common sense
of members OF the upper house whose
votes are desired.
MacNider Il In Charge
Commander MacNider of the Ameri-
can Legion. who says a personal can
yass shows majority OF Senators for
the bonus, has assumed personal
charge Of the battle. He predicts the
Senate will pass the bill this week.
His agents are operating all over, the
executive and legislative maps. John
Thomas Taylor. the legislative agent
of the Legion. is more guarded In his
predictions than he was month ago.
He declared the Senate will pass the
bonus bill within few days" He
said the same thing four months ago.
In the meantime various civic organ
izations, business men and citizens
generally are expressing through the
telegraph and mails their disapproyal
of the bonus scheme for moral as
well as economic reasons.

Loeb, who is the head Of an organiza-
tion which embraces 100000 CONNER

opposed to the bonus. He said to-day:
1.-The Commercial Travelling Mems

extent Regarding the proposal to pay
a Government bonus to able bodied
men find public sentiment is over

They want the business
they have worked SO hard to

afraid "the boys" are not quite

The head of a business can lay
down policies and judgments
for forty years, and the forty

ness that is advertised not
only gains a public goodwill,
but its standards and methods
become known to all men.
The very pressure Of public
opinion helps to hold the ad-

tablished track.
Count the business men you
know who have actually or

find that a large number of
them were connected with
