Central Europe s Future Hangs
on T. S., German Leader Says
BY EDWARD NJ. THIERRY.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass.-Amer-
icas tariff policy is the biggest thing
troubling Germany and Austria,
says DR.. Josef Redlich. leading
Vienna jurist and former Austrian
minister OF finance.
Redlich. one OF the lecturers at
the Institute OF Politics in session
here this month, made this the most
vital factor of world affairs when
he gave, in an interview with NEA
Service, these forecasts:
World economic peace cannot
come without American financial re-
lief to the defeated powers in the
shape of loans and credits.
Financial relief from America is
prohibitive under the tariff policy
now under discussion in Congress.
Nevertheless Germany and Aus
tria will remain republics.
Hungary will eventually become a
monarchy.
Attempts 10 create a Rhineland
republic and a union of Bavaria and
Austria will fail.
1T Is difficult" says Redlich. ito
prophesy the future Of Central Eu-
rope where everything is so unset
tied. But It requires no prophet
to say that the entire international
structure depends on America.
Existence Depends on U. s.
we all know we must have n
support from America
chiefly credits for raw materials
II we in Germany and Austria are
to survive.
"And the future is very gloomy
first. because no reasonable man
over there expects America to give
help until political condi-
tions are settled; and second and
most important. because there can
not possibly be financial help under
tariff policy.
Our wiss is for cooperation. not
charity. Under existing conditions.
no one can say what will happen
economically in Europe"
Dr. Redlich said he thought there

is TT MERYHAM7

The earliest record OF this sur
name shows the spelling Meryham.
This was in 1926, when a record
shows that Laurence de Meryham
paid taxes TO Edward l at Isenhurst,
Sussex, England. In the sixteenth
century there was a manor of Meri-
ham In Pembrokeshire, in Wales.
The name is spelled in old records
Meryham, Merryham. Mereham. and
sometimes Miriam. II was undoubt-
edly derived from a place original
ly Meryham. The termination ham"
literally means home. and so some
OF the name say that the name
means merry or happy home. 1t
would be more plausible explana-
tion to say that the place first so
called was so-cslled because OF
some church or convent dedicated to
ST. Mary.
The interesting thing about the
name is that though II was one
found fairly often in England or
Wales it is now practically extinct
in England. while. as Merriam. it Is
borne by quite a numerous family

WOULD AMEND
TARIFF BILL
Senator Frelinghuysen Has
Plan That Would End
Long Debate
COMMISSION
is SUGGESTED
by LAWRENCE MARTIN


WASHINGTON. Aug. ~ Omitted
Press) Keeping the tariff up TO
date is the purpose OF an amend
ment to the pending tariff bill pro-
posed by Senator Frelinghuysen, n.
j., and strongly supported by many
of his colleagues.
rrellnghuysen's amendment would,
he believes. obviate the necessity
for such long tariff debates as that
which always marks the passage OF
a permanent" tariff law The
permahency Of such laws the record
shows. Is usually determined by the
permanency Of one party's control
of congress.
II is not so much the enactment
OF new tariffs that, Frelinghuysen
would prevent. as the enactment OF
any tariff bill upon the basis Of i'm
xpert-congressional opinion. aided
by the interested testimony Of i'm
porters. manufacturers and pro-
ducers.
congress has to deal with too
many great public questions Tor its
members TO become real experts on
things like the tariff. except in the
cases OF few men who devote long
public careers 10 that question
Alone said Frelinghuysen. My
amendment. by creating tariff
commission of experts, aided by the
best advisers in the country, and
empowered not only 20 investigate
the tariff from every angle, but tol
compel the production OF bona flde
facts and figures regarding costs and
profits would establish scientific
and economically correct basis for
tariff changes.
Furthermore, II would keep the
tarlff abreast OF changing business
conditions here and abroad. Nova
days we pass tariff bill after tre-
mendous labor lasting months or
even years. That bill may be put
out OF date overnight by some world
event like war. Our tariff laws
are rigid and we have TO go along
under them. until the whole thing
is revised.
The commission my bill creates
in place OF the present tariff COM
mission would be equipped in every |
way to recommend 20 congress ac-
companied by full proofs of its
necessity any tariff change that com
ditions required, when they required
1t. In that way American business
men and the great mass OF consum-
ers would nnd the tariff their SER
want rather than their master"
Under Frelinghuysen's plan the
new tariff commission would be con-
stantly investigating and keeping
abreast OF business changes. 1t
would be required TO report TO con-
gress at least once every six months.
and would be authorized TO reportt
at any time It deemed report neces-
sary.
Senetor Capper, Kansas, and Poin-
iexter. Washington, are among those
strongly IN favor OF Frelinghuysen's
plan. Capper declared It would
mark the end Of hit and miss
arirf. laws, and would also tend toi
take the tarifr out Of politics and
put It upon an economic basis.
where It belongs"
The present tariff commission Is
composed OF six members. Freling-
auysen's would have ten, and would
,e given an initial appropriation Of
$1,000, 900 TO finance its investigs-
ions.

Keep Your Eye ON the Ninth

[ JEARrENlNG news comes from the

Of victories over the best the Democrats

The news that comes from the Ninth is
not OF the ordinary pre- election brand. Too
often in the past campaign reports emanat-
inG from that district have been based sole

and cast down by continued defeats This
year there is no beating of tom-toms no

the Democratic leaders simply and conf
IDENTITY announce that they are ready Their
confidence is based not alone on the fact
that they have in George c. Peery a splen-
did candidate who is making vigorous and
telling campaign. In other years they have
had candidates perhaps equally capable Of
leading the way. only to go down at the
polls. Rather. their confidence is ground
ed on the gratifying knowledge that this
year they have the votes. and they have
them by virtue of the fact that practically
every Democrat. man and woman. eligible
for the ballot has paid his poll tax and is
prepared to do his Democratic duty on cleo
ton day
Never before has such a systematic cam
naign been conducted i'll the Ninth District,
and the result is that. with all Democrats
prepared to go to the polls. the Ninth is no
longer normally Republican except in name
With the voters thus qua lifted for the first
