ADAMS Defends.
TARIFF FROM
ITS FOES
Republican Chairman Says L
Halted Flood Of Cheap I'M
ports, Saving Industry.

With d nsaO tugitf sC0r looming
IN the merit Congress, AdministrG-
tion ranks are preparing to de-
fessd the eristipg lao against all
attacks. This story presents the
Republican GmssOer 70 Democratic
criticism Of the IasV.
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON,
international News Service.
The Republican protective tariff
has brought prosperity 60 American
industry, saved agriculture from
ruin and prevented an epidemic Of
hard times" John 4. Adams, chair
man Of the Republican National
Committee, declared today In reply.
ing TO Democratic attacks upon
the law.
Adams denied the tariff had bum
q Chinese wall around the United
States, bringing distress to mid
Western farmers. On the contrary,
he declared, the law had saved the
farmers from q nationwide panic,
maintained a fair level Of prices in
most commodities and given relief
to the whole agricultural class.
World Competition Acute.
World competition has never
been so keen as 1t is today" Adams
stated. THE only safeguard Ngainst
this menace to American manufac-
turers and American farmers is
protection in the form Of tariff
duties.
''The Republican party provided
the safeguard by enactment of the
Fordney McCumber tariff law.
There is no doubt that our indus
tries would be PROSTATE and the
nation in the midst Of hard times
were 1t not for this protective
tariff"
Adams cited the industrial and
commercial failure rampant in Eu-
ropean nations, unprotected by tar
IFS, as proof that floods of i'm
ports" can destroy the buying
power OF any nation.
Were the American farmer pro-
Queer exposed to the law of sup
ply and demand in international
trade, he would be compelled to
sell his wheat from IL to 20 cents
per bushel cheaper than at pres.
emit" the Republican leader added.
He would be compelled to compete
with the cheap foreign labor EN-.
ployed in the competing wheat
American farm prices
would be beaten down to the level
Of foreign values and great agricul-
tural depression would result.
Farmers Are Informed.
Because the prices Of some farm
products have decreased the farmer
Is told the tariff has not benefited
him. Farmers, however, are aware
that although the prices Of some
products have declined, the value
Of the same product in other ma
tons have shown far greater de-
At the. same time, the
prices OF numerous other products
have been benefited directly by
the tariff.
''The tariff, while it has not pre-
vented some declines, has prevented
farm prices as whole from going
to smash If it had not been for
the tariff, agriculture today would
be on the verge of a nationwide
panic"
Adams ALSO pointed to the con-
1ition of American industry, de-
claring current Industrial pros
perity was due solely to the tariff"
Never in history has our. peace
lime employment been as high nor
nave so many wage-earnePs been
at such good wages as at
present" he added. 1.-THE tariff has
tremendous Industrial &C.
.ivity, reflected in record breaking
volume of retail sales and in record
savings deposits"

RELICS SHOW CHINESE
LIVED IN PHILIPPINES

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Oct. IL
The veil has been lifted from the
historic past of the Philippine
Islands and discoveries have been
made rivaling those in the tomb
of Tut-Ankh- Amen, according to
q report received at the University
of Michigan from DIR. Carl E. Guthe,
heading an archaeological expedition
now in the islands.
DR.. Guthe's report hints strongly
for the first time that Chinese
formerly inhabited the island, a con-
clusion which he says is substan-
tiated by deposits unaarthed by him
during the last year.

COOL IDGE FARN
AID PLAN IS
SCORED
G. Q. P. Defeat Is Predicted
by Marsh Unless Government
Markets Surplus Crops.
BY II. X. REYNOLDS,
international News Service.

It became evident here today
that there is some rough Shedding
ahead for the Coolidge adninistra-
ton In Its effort to solve the agri-
cultural problem through co-operat-
i've marketing.
This was revealed in state
fnent from the left wing" OF farm
ers' organizations over the sigma
ture of Benjamin G. Marsh, man
aging director Of the Farmers.
National Council, who claims d
membership Of more than million.
Predicts Failure.
Not only did Marsh declare that
the Coolidge Meyer plan for the ex.
tension of the .sco-operatives" in.
the Northwest would fail, hut he
made the flat prediction that the
Republican party would lose both
houses of Congress in the next
election unless the Government put.
up enough money to properly III.
nance the expectation Of surplus
farm products.
.Marsh's pessinistic view Of the
situation does not correspond, OF
course, with the reports telegraphed
to the White House and the Treas
ury Department by Directors Meyer
and Mondell of the War Finance
Corporation, who are now spread.
ing the gospel Of cooperating mar
keting in the West, but it serves
to indicate some Of the political
ramifications of the farm problem.
Sees Frost for Plan.
President Coolidge, Marsh de-
clared. should Immediately order
Mondell and Meyer to return to
Washington.
These men win only receive o
big FROST" he said, when they
start preaching the administrator
wheat plan in the Northwest"
AS substitute for the Pres.
ident's cooperative plan, Marsh sug-
gested the ablishment by Con-
gress Of a Government marketing
corporation to handle form prod
ucts, as proposed several months
ago by Senator Norris, Republican,
Of Nebraska.
If this proposal is not adopted,
Marsh predicted that the "Repub-
Iican party will eat crow next
year as it did in 1912 when 1t car
ried but two States, only 1t may not
carry Utah next year"
Time Too Short.
1.-TWO and a quarter million
wheat growers and 1,225,000 cotton
growers" he declared, cannot pos
sibly be organized for cooperative
sale Of those commodities in less
than five to ten years, and most
of them don't trust those who are
for cooperation, but OPP
pose the Governmental marketing
corporation.
eff the present administration
doesn't create Governmental mar
keting organization to buy farm
products here and sell them abroad,
the farmers, with the help of the
labor forces, will elect a Congress
and new administration next year
that will"
Backed in Cabinet.
Marsh is not alone in his ad- |
of. Governmental aid for /
the expectation of Americas agri.
cultural surplus, for this plan has |
been approved by Secretary of 7
Wallace and submitted |
to the Cabinet for the approval of /
the administration. Legislation
would be required, however, to put
the plan into operation, which is
before Congress meets
this winter. In the meantime, the
President and the Cabinet are de-
termined to test out the co.operat-
I've. marketing idea, in the belief
that it will provide relief in the
present emergency.
