HoLCoMB EXPRESSES VIEWS
 ON TARIFF SITUATION

Asked by the Manufacturers Associa- ton of Connecticut, Inc, to express his views on the present tariff situation for mer Governor Marcus H. Holcomb said Saturday:
 AS far back as 1888, having watched the growth of our New England indus tries, I realized that it would be impos- sible for America to maintain and en- courage a standard of living higher than that existing in foreign countries unless we were given necessary protection through the establishment by our gov- ernment of adequate import duties.
 The situation is even more critical now because the wages in America on an international basis are conservative ly from 100 to 500 per cent. higher than the wages prevailing in European coun- tries and there never was a time in our history when adequate import duties were so necessary to our existence in- dustrially as today.
 We should keep the American market for Americans" he continued "it is the best market in the world and if we per init the present conditions to continue 1t will get away from us by permitting the foreigners to do the very things they couldn't do during the war because of the practical embargo which existed. That is, dump their merchandise on this market.
 "The United States is the only princi- pal country in the world which Is not protecting its own people. All others have enacted import tariffs to protect their own goods against foreign compe- tition
 Any student of the situation should realize that the inevitable result of in- adequate tariff is in idleness for the American people. Americans. particu- iarly the workingmen, who vote against the enactment of adequate import tariffs probably do not realize that by so Goine they are voting themselves out of jobs and are hurting themselves and theiI families I have the greatest faith in the good judgment of our New England people and feel confident. because I have talked with many of them, that they want the jobs of our people adequately protected, against the pauper labor oi Europe.
 Tt is my observation that the organ. ized effort against the enactment of ar adequate tariff is in the main conducted by those people and organizations who are making great profits on imported l merchandise and who are anxious tc maintain the present conditions, which are so favorable to them. as long as DOS. i sibe They talk about foreign competi tion keeping prices down in America ! The only thing it can possibly accom-. i plish Is to keep Americans out of work.

CoNTEMPLATEs EXPANSION
 OF NATIONAL GUARD

Major General Clarence R. Edwards. commanding the first corps area in Bos- ton, has sent a request to Governor Lake that military officers In this state shall express their opinions regarding the con- templated countrywide expansion of the National Guard. According to General
 Edwards two problems are involved in the project: (A) Recruiting to full peace strength and maintenance of highest ef-
 1cency. and CB) provision of facilities
 for development to war strength upon
 mobilization.
 Toward the accomplishment of the
 first object" Edwards says. nothing can
 perhaps be more effective than to re-
 cruit the National Guard as largely as practicable from young men who have attended one or more Red camps or
 who have received equivalent military
 training in the schools. The Red camp
 is the advanced group in the citizens military training camp system. Tt has been suggested that the Ma tional Guard reserves. comprising both officers and enlisted men, is the most suitable and appropriate means of pro- viding for the war expansion of this component.
 Assuming the establishment of such | a reserve for the National Guard, 1t should be composed of officers and men who have received sufficient training to l justify Rheir immediate absorption ln their respective grades upon mobiliza- tion Each of these reserve units
 should be formed locally and should be affiliated with the active unit of the National Guard which is designated to l expand.
 1 "It is desired that the views of local National Gupard authorities be obtained and considered in formulating recom- mendations."

MILK PRODUCERS WILL
 BOOST PRICE TUESDAY

The price of all grades of milk for Hartford will advance one cent per quart August 1 due to many clements which have combined to cut the produc- tion of milk in the central portion of the state more than million quarts in two months. In the month of May, the milk producers from Willimantic to Litch- field county furnished over 5000, 900 quarts of milk, and with the completion of the returns for this month, it is ex- pected that the output in that same ter ritory will fall to 100000 quarts or less.
 The decrease in output is due to the fact that farmers find this season the hardest time of the year to get milk. The cows are put out to pasture in May and during this month the sun burns the grass and renders 1t much less valua- ble as milk producer. It therefore be- comes necessary for the farmers te feed grain and this added expense greatly in creases the cost of milk production Cows also give less milk when pestered by flies a condition which Is very acute this month.
 The decision regarding the price of milk was reached at monthly joint meet ing of the milk producers and dealers and was voted unanimously. As eondi- ticns are made the basis of the figuring and reports of the farmers are usually the governing factors Reports from New York, Massa achusetts and Rhode Island are also considered and condi tiens in these states often affect milk prices for Connecticut
 Production in the willinantic tt Litchfeld county district in April wa: more than two and half million quarts It jumped to over three million in May and decreased to 27ee.ooe quarts ir June It is expeeted that the decrease from May to July will be about B l.; per cent making the supply 1000, 00t quarts below the May amount.
