is a warlike policy but economists
are practically unanimous in assert
ing that it is-not that 1t is guar
anteed to lead Immediately TO ply
steal fighting. but that 1t strains
relations and tends that way.
That the proposed increase In
American rates will be resented can
hardly be denied.
The avalanche of complaints the
state department has received from
abroad leaves no doubt about IL. To
5e sure. the high protectionists
maintain that these complaints are
mere bluffs. Probably they are-if
one interprets them Is threats to
take up arms. However. they dc
mean that their authors Obpec6 to
the Hawiey-Smoot schedule, as ten
tatlvely outlined. and will be sore
if the United States adopts it.
Is it an appropriate time to urge
armament limitation?-the critics
ask.
IF logic counts for anything, the
critics will have the better OF the
argument.
And maybe this will play into
President Hoover's hand.
Mr.. Hoover wants armies and
nevics reduced.
That Is. he wants this country's
reduced, and knows that such a pro-
gram Is hopeless unless other coun-
tries reduce theirs. too-eSpecially
England. her navy.
The general impression likewise is
that he deprecates very high import
duties. Some folk even accuse him
of being a free trader at heart.
If 50. he Is in a position to oppose
y stiff tariff raise, on the ground
that II would throw a crimp into his
arms reduction scheme. which pub
k opinion assuredly favorS. pro-
yided it is safe. Any d~isinterested,
sensible person must.
England's labor government is a
BIG thing for President Hoover's
peace ambitions also.
Tory governments in London are
suspected here.
Ever since Secretary of State
Hughes permitted the British to
euchre Uncle Sam out of the strong
est navy In the world-at a cost OF
several hundred millions in new
ships-in order to give John Bull
the lead. this country has looked
askance on world-peace negotiations
between Washington and Westmin-
ster.
While Premier Stanley Baldwin
remained in power. a few senators
always could have blocked any fresh
Anglo-American naval compact. and
their constituents would have hur-
rah-ed for them.
But Premier Ramsay Macdonald
Is given credit for a lot Of sincerity.
Nevertheless. Mr.. Hoover's latest
Deace gesture is somewhat Britain's
advantage.
1t may sound very reciprocal on
bIr. MacDonald's part to waive a
considerable bunch of English cruis-
reconstruction in recognition of Mr.
Hoover's postponement of a start on
4 odarter Of a dozen American YES
cells of similar type-but England
was quite a few ships ahead of
America at the time they made
these mutual sacrifices.
Leave it to the British not to get
the short end of a hargaini-even
with a labor government on the job.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-After TO-
600 miles of touring overseas with e
woman friend, Mrs. Viviane w. Ad-
ans is in favor OF having the map
Of Europe changed. She is not par
ticularly interested in political. eco
nomic, or religious maps. Road
maps OF the European variety are
what disturbed her peace Of mind;
especially in countries where gaso-
line sells at sl.00 per gallon and Is
purveyed in five-gallon tins.
American tourists who may be
thinking Of foreign motor car jour-
neys can travel through England
France. Germany. Italy Switzer-
land and Belgium almost as easily
as through the United States" said
Mrs. Adams, but Spain. Hungary
Jugo-Slavia. Czechoslovokia. Niece
donia. Greece and a few other coun-
tries present numerous peculiar
problems.
In private life. Mrs. Adams bears
the not exactly un-American name
Of Mrs. John Quincy Adams. her
husband being Major John Quincy
Adams Of the u. S. Marine Corps
Nevertheless. she was born In Tur-
key. her father being English and
her mother French. Her compan-
ion. Gertrude r. Baskin. Is the wife

deliberately knitted in Germany.
This was the only viciouSness we
encountered during the entire tour"
said Mrs. Adams. In accordance
with French regulations. We had a
distinctive F. for France painted
on a rear, fender. After the knitting
incident in Germany. which we were
given to understand was due TO a
mistaken patriotism on the part Of
a German who thought we were

Dog Menace in Macedonia
In Macedonia. the sheep dogs
were something of a menace. On
sighting a car. they would dash
madly from pastures and drive at

the car we were in no danger. yet
we were afraid of arousing the en-
nifty of the sheep herders If we &C
cidentally killed a dog.
Despite bad roads. high tariffs.

PISTON MADE
Oakland Perfects Method
Eliminating Annoying
Pin Rattle

Even so small a thing as a piston
pin may play an eventful role in
summer tours because this little de-
vice carries a burden out Of all
proportion to its size. its particular
function being to transmit the full
force of an explosion from he pis-
ton head to the connecting rod.
A terrific strain centers upon II
not only every time there Is an ex-
plosion Of gas in the cylinder. but
also each time the piston reaches
the top or bottom Of its stroke.
Wear inevitably results both in the
pin and the piston boss in which 1t
rests. resulting in looseness and rat
tie when a car Is humming along
Mt a constant speed. While not
harmful to the engine. this pin rat
tie frequently his proved a source
of annoyance to drivers.
The new method of construction
was worked out under the direction
OF 3. H. Anibal. vice president in
charge of engineering of the Oak
land Motor Car company and pins
70 made are now standard equip
ment on all new Oakland all-Amer-
lean and Pontiac Big Skies. The
pin has proved highly successful in
test cars run t. high mileages on
General Motors proving ground"
Mr.. Anibal stated. cars SO equipped
having no appreciate pin rattle
and none which would be discerned
by the average owner.
About a year ago we evolved the
principle used in the new pin. and
during the past year we expert
mented constantly TO arrive at the
best application Of the principle.
The pin used On u current lines
Of cars represents the result OF this
experimentation. II does its work
efficiently and effectively cuts down
the rattle"
