LIFE OF MODERN STEEL
sKYSCRAPER UNLIMITED
Engineer Holds Buildings Of Today
Probably Will Stand for
Centuries.
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK. November 2o.-The
life Of the modern skyscraper and
most other steel structures is almost
unlimited, Frank w. Skinner, consult
ing engineer, who for many years was
editor Of Engineering Record and
Contracting, asserted in a statement
Yesterday.
He said that such buildings would
certainly last for generations, and
probably for centuries. In his state
ment he repeated the main features
OF an address he delivered recently
before the American Institute Of Steel
Construction at White Sulphur
Springs, w. Va, which he said had
been enormously reported.
In news reports Of the steel meet
ings he was quoted as having said
that skyscrapers outliye their useful
ness in q years. although their life
span was many times that period.
Mr.. Skinner said that in his address
he did say that the life Of steel
structure was often many times as
long as "the period of its obsoles-
Sence," but that he had set no number
Sf years as the time In which the
average building becomes obsolete.

however is the struggle for the con-
quest of the middle peasant, the strug-
gle to divide the middle peasant from
the rich peasant and to isolate the lat
ter by the establishment OF the firm
alliance with the middle peasant.
The roots of both digressions ac-
cording to the opinion of the speaker
are to be found in the following fac
tors: the first depression consists in
the underestimation of the role of
the rich peasant, the capitalist ele-
ment in the villages. This DEPRESSION
comes from a denial of the differen-
citation in the villages, it declares that
the rich peasant is disappearing.
This depression leads to a denial Of
the class struggle in the villages. The
second depression consists in the over
estimation of the role of the rich peas
ant in the panic in face OF the capital
ist elements. This depression comes
from the fact that the differentiation
in the village is universally capitalist
This depression leads to an unchain-
ing of the class struggle in the viii
lage, to the declaration of the civil
war in the country, to the disorgani-
cation of the work OF reconstruction,
plans Of Lenin. Both digressions are
to the rejection Of the cooperative
equally damaging. Fortunately, there
are forces in the party which will
stifle both digressions before they get
chance TO develop (applause).
Nevertheless, the party must concen-
trate its lighting capacity in the strug-
gle against the second depression zap
plause). The slogan Of Arm alliance
with the middle peasantry can always
be wiped out by phrases about Marx
ism and Leninism.
THE speaker proceeded to a discus.
4 sion of the questions OF internal
policy. He showed the following direo-

tions for the work: Further increase
of the production of the country, the
transformation of our country from an
agrarian into an industrial country,
the safeguarding of the predominance
of the socialist elements in the peo-
pies economy over the capitalist
elements, the safeguarding of the ne
cessary independence of the peoples
economy of the Soviet Union in its
capitalist environment and the in
crease of the income from sources
other than taxes in the state budget.
THE speaker pointed to the follow
l. ing tasks upon the fields of in
dustry and agriculture: the develop
ment of the socialist industry by the
betterment of the technical apparatus,
the raising of the productivity of la
Dor, the speeding up Of the capital
turnover, the dwelling up of the raw
material and metal balances and also
the balances of basic capital and rail

growing needs of industry, a strength

CANADIAN WANTS
TARIFF WAR ON
u. S. PRODUCTS
Unemployment Used as
Basis for High Rate

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 20.-The Can
adam government has found itself up
against by the motion Of Arthur
Meighan, conservative, to amend the
governor generals reply to the speech
from the throne in such manner as
to demand tariff wall against i'm
portation of commodities from the
United States.
Unemployment the Issue.
Such is the widespread suffering
from unemployment in Canada, that
political capital is being made Of it
by the conservatives, and the amend
ment as introduced by Meighen calls
up this menace and says the govern
ment must provide work for Canada's
producers by raising the duties on
United States commodities.
1t says: Particularly to give to the
producers of farm products, coal and
other primary products, the advant-
age they are under, present world
conditions, entitled to enjoy in the
markets of this country"
Say U. S. Began Tariff War.
Meighen demands to know in his
amendment why dairy products, fruit,
and vegetable products from the
United States. come into Canada with
almost no tariff-"and satiate the Can
adam appetite and Destroy the Can
adian market before the Canadian
goods come to the consumer"
The conservative leader proceeds
to say that while the United States
kept its own tariff on Canadian and
other countries goods at low figure,
there was some reason for Canada
doing likewise, but in 1921 the United
States changed this:
Ever since, the American farmer
has monopolized his own market and
had almost equal play in ours with
the farmer of this country"

Imperialist Money
Invested in Syria
Cause of Butchery
BY LEN DE cAux,

PARIS-(FP)-The economic caus-
es Of the French war in Syria, official
ly declared to be in defense of the
national honor" are exposed in a
capitalist paper, the Journee Indus
trielle, which tells of the large inter
ests of French bankers and Industrial
lists in Syria. That 25O,OO0, 900 francs
of French capital is invested in fnan-
cial and industrial enterprises con-
cerned exclusively with Syria, is re-
vealed by this paper. The money was
mostly invested before the war and
represents gold francs Il gold franc,
20 cents).
French capital is chiefly in rail
roads, streetcars, ports, public ware
houses, posts and telegraphs, silk and
agricultural industries, flour mills and
banks. While the French have not
found mineral resources in Syria,
they have rich supplies of wool, silk,
cotton, agricultural products and to-
bacco. The construction of railroads
is Of immense Importance for this
French trade, but a number of pro-
iected railroads has been hindered by
the growing restiveness of the Syr-
ians.
