CANADIAN PROTEST
ON TARIFF IS DENIED
Stimson Says Massey Has
Not Taken Step, CIashinu
With Borah Statement.
Continued From First rags.)

tCcnCtnQe0 From Fnst Pase.O
Canadian Minister or any representa-
tive of the Canadian government to me
or to any representative OF this Gov
eminent.
There has been absolutely no such
protest or threat or any mention Of
such a subject at all that know Of,
and think I would know Of it II it had
been made.
ct wish to emphasize this because
the Canadian government has been
most scrupulously correct and careful in
respect to any comment on our tariff or
tariff making. They have absolutely
avoided anything in the nature Of prov
ocation.
The same is true Of the British
I am speaking of both parties to the
alleged story"
Borah's Statement.
A few hours later the following came
from Senator Borah's once:
Secretary Stimson's statement clari-
hes the atmosphere. I have thought
all along that these supposed protests
from Canada originated In the United
States. 1t was the old reciprocity spirit
revived. We now learn authoritatively
that Canada has made no protest and
has no protest; that she, in fact, ex-
poets us TO make our tariff according to
what we deem to be our best interest. -
The statement was dictated by Sen
ator Borah TO newspaper men. It was
regarded as not without bearing on the
tariff debate in Congress, since It Is
expected to line Senator Borah up with
those who would silence any argument
against q specific schedule on the
ground Of possible injury to interna-
tional good will between this country
and its neighbor TO the north.
As Canada is one Of our principal
customers, Democrats and insurgent
Republicans hive been planning to
make much Of a protest from that
country. Up TO now Senator Borah
has been lining UP in tariff debates
with the coalition Of Democrats and In
surgent Republicans.

and appeared in court with his head
still heavily bandaged. Her husband
then ran across small creek back of

She turned back toward the house. she
said, and hearing two shots turned to
see Jeff Harris and Thomson drag

that instructor and probably his school
are doomed, for one of the new regula-
tons states that schools shall maintain
such standards Of ground and flying
instruction that nine out Of ten grad
yates who apply for licenses will salts

A traffic control will send planes into
the air at specified signals and indicate
their landing. Experts. approved by the
/ Department of Commerce will supervise
the training of the airmen. Graduates
of these schools will be real pilots. They
will pay for that training, for flying is
not q cheap game. But they win have
fine instruction, equal to that Of the
Army and Navy air schools, though
directed into commercial channels. They
will learn acrobaticS in safe ships: they
will be taught instrument or blind"
flying to be used in fog and storm; they
will be night flyers Of ability and as air
travel becomes more universal these
students will be forced to take longer
courses and to pass more rigid tests.

cent, and probably more.
The rule about having not more
than IS students enrolled for each plane
normally available may seem designed
only to protect students, so that a gyp
school will not sign up 200 or 800 stu
dents on two or three ships. That is
the primary purpose, but the rule serves
another purpose, too. With few planes
there will be few pilots at school, and
with a large number Of students these
pilots will be flying all day long. trying
to finish as many lessons as possible
That's dangerous, for instruction Is the
hardest kind of flying, and pilots get
stale. That Is, their reactions slow ur
somewhat and in emergencies they can
not think quickly.
But it takes a special regulation to
cover that completely. We've settled on
