HORNE SAILS
into HOOVER
over RUBBER
Sharp Digs GiUen to
American MOnopOlies

LONDON, Jan. 8 - SIR Robert
Horne, member Of parliament and
former chancellor Of the exchequer,
has published an article In the London
press decrylne the howl being raised
in America by Secretary Hoover and
others concerning the British rubber
monopoly as '"uneenerous and unjust
ified."
Says All Treated Alike.
Il am puzzled" Sir Robert says,
"as to what disadvantage the Amer
lean consumer and manufacturer
thinks he suffers from. He is paying
exactly the same price as his British,
French, and Italian competitors. The
British manufacturer has not gained
Ut the expense of the American In
The worlds markets they are on an
absolutely equal footing.
This indeed is understanding the
case because the United States is
much more prosperous than the other
nations and it can afford to pay the
increased price better than the others.
If it is true that they bear a greater
total burden on account Of their con-
sumption, it is also true that they
make greater total profits"
What About Cotton7
II confess that my compassion is
not moved when l contemplate the
position Of those in America who pro-
fess to be injured by the present price.
| have seen some Jeremiahs in the
Firestone company, but when 1 look at
the report Of this company find that
the net profits have risen from $1,000
600 in 1922 to $12.OoO,O0O in 1925.
will wait for more pathetic figures
than these before I am wrung with
pity.
When l turn my gaze from Amer
lea to England, l see conditions which
move me more deeply. 1 have not
heard the suffering people of Lanca-
shire utter denunciations OF those who
have been charging high prices for
cotton. They have accepted their fate
as brought about by conditions they
could not control"
inhabitants OF Glass Houseas
Sir Robert closes his article by say
ing:
Il would say further that those are
not in a position to complain who
erect tariffs which interfere with our
trade to a much greater degree than
the rubber restriction could possibly
effect theirs. Nobody denies the right
OF the American government to man
age its tariffs as it chooses, but when
complaint is made of the action of the
British government it should be kept
in view that are interfering with
the natural flow Of world commerce
to an infnitesinaI degree compared
with that which characterizes the
trade policy of America"

the evil spirits with which the priest
was afflicted were not alone doing In

to the judge "and we are sure that the

THE mythical Gears daughter who

ton during the revolution is said TO
have made her appearance in a Der

daughter lives or not is of little con-
sequence. The recurrent publication
OF such ghost stories is one Indication
of the hopelessness of the Russian
monarchists' expectation OF getting
back to their lives OF ease and graft.
In the meantime Grand Duke Nicholas
Nicholaevitch and Grand Duke Cyril
are quarreling over the right TO
throne which is now frequently used
by presiding officers at Communist

Plans Made for
Great Reindeer Drive

Anchorage, Alaska, Mar. 2S-A
great reindeer drive which will take
two years and for spectacularity rival
the big trail movements of Texan
herds in frontier days will be UNDER
taken in an effort to revivify an in
dustry now menaced by lack Of mar
keting facilities.
Under the direction Of George
Ashenfelter many thousand head of
both government and privately owned
deer will be driven overland from the
Arctic to Broda Pass on the Alaskan
railroad. The drove may be as large
as $4,000.
Ashenfelter, a large herd owner
will sponsor the drive which will
mean not oRsy the removal of the
deer from the north to a territory
reached by rail but also means more
or less wholesale migration of Eskimo
herd owners. most of whom have
matriculated in the government
schools of husbandry.
The drive plans call for cutting up
the herds into units of about two
thousand each with unit supervised
by skilled chief herders assisted by a
number Of herders. apprentices and
collie dogs. The units would move
several UllISS apart With tQelF posi-
lions In the line of march reversed at
intervals SO that equal advantage Of
the browsing grounds would be OBJ
tanned.
Herds of educated owners total
more than $4,000. but II only $4,000 Of
this number should participate it
would create series of herds STREET
ching from the coast of Boring sea
eastward for 100 miles. The drive,
expected to start In the early winter
months, would be held at the Yukon
river until 1t freezes and then showed
into the headwaters of the Kuskok-
vim river and later across country to
Broad Pass, distance Of 300 miles.
Experience has shown that the NOR
tality rate of fawns is too great there
when an attempt is made to drive
them in the spring-beiore they are
strong enough to stand the hard trav-
ell. The route selected Is that used
by the herds Of caribous in their ami
NAL fall migrations across the Tan
ana valley and through Broad Pass
