discuss the necessity of the settlement
of differences which have arisen be-
tween the West and the East in recent
months, both in connection with the
tariff revision and with farm relief
legislation, in the National Radio Forum
arranged by The Star and sponsored by
the Columbia Broadcasting System, at

Senator Capper, a Stanch and regu-
lar Republican, will discuss the question
from the standpoint of a Westerner
He believes that the East should awaken
to the economic needs of the great West
and should give that section of the
country more of an "even break" In
matters of legislation and national
administration.
The differences which have arisen be-
tween the West and the East have been
responsible in large part for the
formation of the present Senate
coalition" to deal with the tariff bill.
Neither section of the country will
beneflt long by anything that hampers
the other. Senator Capper will deal
with the subject in broad way, avoid
ing partisan political discussion.
The Kansas Senator although q vet
eran member OF the Senate, Joined the
so-called Republican young guard
which was formed in the final weeks of
the special session of the present Con-
gress. This young guard" is composed
of many Eastern Republican Senators
as well as Western, but is made I'D for
the most part of Senators who have
been recently elected to the upper
house. The Eastern members of the
group, as well as the Western, be-
lieve that the time mas come for real
cooperation between the two sections
of the country and that the time has
come for the East to make some con-
ceSsions to the West.
