thousands Of fervent Catholics who
are members az Rotary throughout

the doubts and misgivings which
seemed TO have arisen in the minds
OF some members Of the clergy of
Europe. I had an opportunity to
deplore and correct the impression
made b. certain unauthorized acts
and statements made thoughtiessly
and c~arelessly by a few individual
Rotarians here and there in differ
ent countries. 1 have read a few
criticisms Of my action In this mat

not fully Informed and that preiu-
dice spoke instead of reason.
"A great many people seem 20 be
absolutely unaware that what NAV

ma not be understood at all in an
ether country. We cannot ignore
the all-iEportant fact that Rotary

time when understanding will re-
place misunderstanding and when
friendly appreciation will replace all

WASHINGTON. May 2e.-tR-
Substantial increases in import
duties on thousands OF commodi-
ties OF the farm and factory are
provided for In the new tariff bill
which before nightfall Is expected
to be passed by the house and sent
to the senate.
The measure, the first tariff
legislation in seven years. also
recommends sweeping changes In
administrative provisions Of sthe
Law and a reorganization Of the
tariff commission under a system
designed to speed UP its work.
The bill revises. mostly upward,
rates I'm every dutiable section Of
the existing Fordney-Mc Cumber
law. which II Is designed to sup
plant.
Everybody Affected
Every man. woman and child In
the country and nearly every for
eign nation In the world Is affected
by the economic changes proposed
by the measure in the seven year
old republican protective tariff
structure.
Perhaps the most far-reaching
change is the advance Of sixty
four hundredths OF a cent In the
effective duty on sugar. raising the
present duty Of 1.76 cents a pound
on Cuban raw sugar TO 2.40 cents
other rates advances. designed 10

clothing Of all descriptions.
Sugar Duties Important
Important commodities long al
lowed free entry into the United
states are made dutiable. includ-
ing hides. leather, booths and shoes
cement. common building brick
shingles, cedar. maple and birch
lumber.
The measure also sets up an en-
tirely new rate schedule TO embrace
manufacturers Of artificial silk un-
der the official name Of "rayon.'
These goods are protected In exist
inr law under the silk schedule.
From a public standpoint the In
creases in the sugar rate and tnt
boosting Of the duty on raw WOO
from 81 to "a cents a pound are
regarded as more important thar
the others. The duties placed on
shoes and raises in rates on hun
dreds of other farm and factory
products also will have a bearing
on family budgets unless producer:

OF passing them on TO the con-
sumner.
Hoover Given Power
While the measure is understood
TO be Objectionable in some respect:
to Pres. Hoover. it meets his re-
quest for q reorganization Of the
tariff commission by providing au'
thority for him to terminate the
terms Of office Of the present SIS
commissioners az his will by the
simple process of sending the
names of their successors TO tho
senate for its advice and consent

power under the flexible clause
which authorizes him to raise OF
