WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.--Indi-
rect protection" Is the latest wrinkle
In tariff-making.
There are some things we do not
-cannot-produce in America.
For instance. bananas are too
tropical for our climate. Does
Ii follow that we may as well let
them in free?-inasmuch as they
cannot possibly compete with our
domestic bananaS-because We have
none.
BY no means Our apple-growers
want a hum-dinger Of a import tax
slapped on bananas. in order 70
make them prohibitively expensive.
The theory is that no bananas
will drive us to eat mere apples.
The field Of this principles appli-
cabilitv Is almost limitleSs.
We bring hardly anything into
the country for which our wv pro-
ducerS could not ccnjure up some
sort or a substitute. We may not
like the substitute as well as We
liked the original article-but look
what il win do for home industry
The idea Is what promises 10 be
the basis Of orr new tariff for agri-
cultural relief.
Our protectionistic folk have In
sisted ell along that the thing our
farmers need Is a good. high tariff
wall to keep foreign crops from
coming into the United States and
urdersellIng our local crops.
The farmers fell for this for a
long time.
Finally. they began to see the flaw
In the argument.
not import farm produces. Our
farmers raise. right here at home.
more than this country ever has
been able TO consume, and have 70
export the balance. Protection fs
no help tn an eXDorter-on the con-
trary-it handicaps him.

Aviation enthusiasts need not fear the scrapping
or -decommissioning of the Lexington or the sarato-
"a. 1t will not occur. I am cutie sure that the house
committee on naval affairs will give no serious con-
sideration whatever 70 the suggestion Of scrappinr
either Of these ships or even to their d-ecornmission-
ing in the interests az economy.
In ell Of the mansuvers with the fleet the rexinr-
ton and Saratoga have clearly demonstrated their
while as scouts for locating the enemy it is impossi-
Die TO calculate how many cruisers would be neces-
sary TO take their places.
With from so to l25 planes operating with each
carrier. they Immediately assume greater comba tant
value than sny aviation field in the United states.
For coast defense they are superior to our most for
Imidable land Notifications.
If these ships have any value at all. IL u must be in
their constant use. Unless pilots are flying from the
decks Of the Lexington and Saratoga In war play ana
maneuvers with bombing planes, combat. pursuit and
other types OF planes In constant practice. the ships
might just es well be scrappcd. To decommission
them would be worse than s~crapping.
I would not trade a plane carrier for our most
formidable dreadnaught.
Great Britain has six plane carriers Of fleet speed
totaling l07550 tons. nearly twice the tonnage Of our
Lexington and Saratoga. japan has $1,000 tons.
almost equal 70 the $1,000 tons Of our ~flrst-line car

.scrihed by the Washington treaty.

Few traffic accidents were re-
ported to police yesterday, despite
the numbers of automobiles that
thronged the roads.

Bake the crust first. Then fill it
with good apple sauce well seasoned,
and cover it with meringue. Brown in

the pastry is done.
Always bake apple pies slowly, so that
the apples will be thoroughly cooked and
the under crust brown and well dona.
