REPUBLIC AND MIDVALE.
On Saturday Republic Steel and
Midvele Steel had been hastily
thrown over by the speculative fol-
lowing which jumped to the con-
clusion that the withdrawal Of the
youngstown sheet and tube would
mean the disruption of the whole
six-company deal. Today this
judgment was revised. 1t was rec
ognized that these companies are
bound - figure in some sort of
combination or combinations. Re-
public Steel and Brier Hill were
linked together in all calculations,
and the eager buying of Republic
Steel common and preferred was
inspired by rumors of the high
prices at which these stocks would
figure in the deal.

change of diplomatic notes between
those countries during a period of two
years over the possession Of Bessara- |
bia, now occupied by the Rumanian !
army with civil officials cooperating
in the occupation.
! Business men near Russian fEon7
tiers have been frightened by these
notes, thinking thy weould lead TO
war at any time, American business
men and bankers in Constantinop1e
have refused loans or participation IN
investments involving either Ruman1a
or the Ukraine because of thes notes.
Yet, to any one who has observed

: peared serious. Rumanians and Rus

Under q Washington date line an
article appeared in yesterdays News

ments made by John II. Kirby, Of the ,
!Soushern Tariff Association, charg g,
ing that Congressman Claude Kitchic
has preached "a pernicious doctrine
Of free raw materials which is "ac-
reptcd by large majority Of the
Democratic members Of the House,
and that through such doctrine
" the Democratic Solid South will be
broken.;'
MIR. kitchin, who is spending some
time at his home in Scotland Neck,
recovering from recent illness, was
Shown the article in question, by our

he la eatedly denounced John

he really did not care to take am
note of any statement made by him
He aid that Kirby knew in his hear
crat that his views would be repudia

Mr.. Kitchin said that the Souther
Tariff Association, Of which Kirby
president, was organized for, and il
sole purpose is, ''to seduce Democrat
into the Republican party.'
In his statement Mr.. Kirby state
that he felt commissioned to wal
Democratic leaders to ''repudate Il
tariff policy advocated by Mr.. Kitch
H. and the Democratic party.' Is
Kirby commissioned by the special

man Kitchin stated that Kirby h
been a lobbyist and star witness

for the past fifteen years. That
has repeatedly appeared before Ct

terests; that he testified under oa
last session before the Ways a

Harding. and that he had frequen
contributed to the Republican ca
inoion fund; but still he claims to b.
GOOD Democrat. He said further, t
Kirby is irving to put him, and

Kitchin said that neither he hims
nor the Democratic party favored !

but that there was some which sh<
