HIGHER DUTIES ARE ASKED FOR MANY PRODUCTS
Parade of Witnesses Before Tariff Committee
 Make Requests

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Her- bert Hoover's campaign promise to aid agriculture, apparently has giv- en impetus to an organized effort by farm groups to seek a higher tariff on nearly every commodity of the farm section of the tariff act.
 A parade of witnesses before the House Ways and Means Committee Thursday urged higher duties and yesterday they continued their requests covering a wide variety of agricultural products, fruits and grains. So many witnesses appear ed that the committee was forced to hold session last night.
 J. w. Shorthill, of Omaha, Sec retary of the National Grain Deal CTS Association, urged raising the present rate of 15 cents bushel on corn to 30 cents. He contend ed it cost the farmer 34 cents a bushel to move his corn to compet- ing territory against 15 cents for Argentine corn. so the duty differ ential is completely wiped out. He said the corn farmers adjacent to Omaha desired a higher tariff to keep out Argentina corn from the Pacific Coast.

SLUMP IN YORK FOR EXTRAS
 IS LAID TO FILM s'TALKIES''

1927. The 1928 average was $S,94 as against an average of SS.59 for the previous year
 The daily average of placements was 756 as against daily average of 905 during 1927.
 Most of the extras placed were men. Women got only 32 per cent of the work and children account ed for 3 per cent.
 Talking pictures generally are blamed for the reduced employ ment of film extras. Most of the dialogue films so far produced have been made with small casts, few crowd scenes calling for ex- tras. Later, as talking picture productions became more elaborate the average number of extras may increase.

CRUISER BILL
 IS IN FOR BIC
 FIGHT, SENATE
President Insists on Elim- ination of Time Clause
 Tn Measure

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-A heat ed controversy over striking frona the cruiser bill the clause requir- ing start on the program within three years, was indicated yester day when it became known Presi- dent Coolidge still insists on it's elimination.
 The President holds to the opin- ion that the time clause should be eliminated because of Budget con alterations, and not because he objects to immediate building, it is explained. He believes il is impossible for budget experts to see in advance what conditions the Treasury will be in, in any given year
 It is also revealed that the Pre5i- dent sees little practical good in Borah's amendment yesterday pro posing an International Conference for qualification of the maritime law.
 Borah's Proposal The President thinks theoretical- ly the proposal is splendid but he has conferred with the State De- pertinent on it and practically thinks the plan is not feasible.
 The President doubts the prob ability of obtaining ratification by the Senate of any treaties result ing from such a conference. House Action Last year the House turned down the Presidents views on the time clause in it's consideration of the naval bill when it retained clause requiring 15 plane carriers and cruisers be started before July, 1881.
 Notice Served Chairman Hale, of the Senate Naval Committee, in charge of the Cruiser bill, gave notice yesterday he will fight Coolidge's proposal to the end. However, Senator Borah rallied opponents to the bill yesterday when he announced he will not fight the bill if the time clause is eliminated.

Rhee, Princeton Graduate and Actual
Headofthe 1heoreticalRepubhco fKrea,

SYNGMAN was reared in an aristocratic en-
vironment. The Yang Ban class which Is
the name of the nobility was not measured by
wealth, and could not work. In most cases per-
haps it became parasitical and distorted but un-
der the old system it was the only class privi-
legged to take examinations for governmental
positions. The method of examination was like
that of the Chinese and was based on the Chi
nese classics.
According to the Korean custom on his first
birthday the boy was placed in front Of q table
on which were set many articles; it was sup
posed that the first one that the child took
indicated his future career. In Syngmans case
a pen was within reach and he took that, caus-
ing great Joy to his mother because it showed
that he would become a great scholar.
He was set to work on the useless task Of
learning the Chinese classics, and ct had
learned 1000 characters. When the time APP
preached for the examinations he recited in one
Winter 10 whole books, a thing which few others
had been able to do. He was in a Confucian
school until the Chino-Japanese War in 1S94-95.
when the old traditional civil examination SyS-
tenn was abolished.
It was evident to thinking observers that the
Chinese, whom the Koreans were initiating, had
lost the war because they had stood against
modern ideas, so the progressive element began
to get some influence in Korea.

mountains and become a scholar, but his par
ents were getting old and had no other children,
and he wanted to pay back for what they had
done for him. He was persuaded to attend q
Methodist missionary school with the expecta-
ton that he could, after three years, still pass
the new examinations and get a government
position. He had to keep this from his mother,
as such schools were attended only by the lower
class, so an aristocrat attending them would
lose caste.
A T this time Russia, China and Japan were
competing with each other to get control Of
the Korean government. Russia, by most high
handed methods, had secured great concessions
in the north The Japanese were very fearful
Of what it might mean to them and redoubled
their efforts: the weak Korean government fell
in the middle.
At this time DR.. Philip Jaissohn Of Phila-
delphia Korean American citizen, was invited
over as an adviser Of the Korean government.
He saw how things were going and founded the
independence movement against the intrigues of
the foreign embassies He was soon compelled
to leave, but the idea was implanted and young

Rhee became the leader and has continued in
that role ever since.
The young element Of the Independence Club
came into clash with the government and II
men were put into prison. Young Rhee was
chosen chairman Of the privy council and de
rected a continuous mass meeting which lasted
until the II men were released.
There was demonstration Of great numbers
of people which lasted for weeks. The govern

promised reforms which it did not carry out.
Many were arrested, including Rhee, though
no legal charge could be made against the pris-
oners. Several Americans worked In Rhee's be-

break from jail, thus providing the government
with legal charge against him.
