COALITION GETTING
RESULTS" SAYSNYE
Makes Observation in Radio
TaIk-Capper Also Gives
Tariff Views.

The coalition of Democrats and
Western Republicans In charge Of the
tariff bill has been dubbed "dema-
gogues, undesirables, more dangerous
than Communists and even jackasses,"
Senator Nye, Republican, Of North Da-
kota, said in radio address today,
"but the facts are that the coalition Is
getting results for agriculture"
Participating in the same program,
broadcast by the National Broadcasting
Co., under the auspices of the Farmers
Union, Senator Capper, Republican, OF
Kansas, said it would not "beneflt agrt-
culture to increase the tariff rates, or to
give tariff protection, on what the farm
er sells, If at the same time tariff pro-
lection is increased on what he has to
buy"
The Kansan expressed confidence the
agriculture marketing act would prove
Of great assistance to agriculture IF the
Federal Farm Board continues to de-
velop its policies along the lines Of the
past two months, and If the farmers
themselves give their energetic support
to the cooperative marketing move
ment."
Senator Nye said the tariff bill had
been written by Fasteners" who
spent the Summer decorating the
Christmas tree expecting Santa Claus
to come" "But when the Senate con-
vened," he continued, Santa failed to
put in an, appearance and, Of course,
bitterness has followed"
He predicted that If the industrial
tariff rates were held to their present
levels, the tariff bill might result in
adding as much as 81 ,00o, o00, 900 to the
farmers annual income, or about 5000
per farm.
Tariff bills have always had first
in mind the interests Of the great manu-
featuring industries" he added. Each
tariff bill has been something In the
nature Of a banquet for these industries.
It has been something In the nature
Of program of stopping the hogs and
now when the industrial hogs are not
permitted all they have asked, how they
do Suueal."

BRITISH WEEKL|ES
HAIL HOOVER PLAN
Food Ship Proposal Brings
F., Comment From InfIu-
entail Papers.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 16.-Three of
the most influential weekly papers of
Great Britain yesterday reviewed :aost
favorably the ArmiStice day speech of
President Hoover, commenting at
length On his proposal that food ships
receive the same immunities as hospital
ships in time of war.
The Nation said the speech was most
carefully thought out and showed along
what lines the United States was pre-
pared to go in the organization of
world peace 1t believed that Mr..
Hoover and Prime Minister Ramsay
Macdonald must have discussed the
freedom of the seas among other ques-
tions.
ut would seem not unreasonable to
infer that the President and Premier
considered the proposal for free food
ships as a qualification of the arrange
ment that ordinary rights of neutrals
would not apply in case of war in
volving a breach of the Kellogg pact.
Some disappointment may be felt that
there was no hint of the possibility OF
such an arrangement in the Presidents
speech, but at least he said nothing
inconsistent in it and this in turn is
matter on which he in his turn must
walk warily."
The statesman terms the Presidents
proposal for immunity Of food ships
IAN extreme restatement of the doctrine
of freedom of the seas"
ITO that doctrine" the Statesman
says, Great Britain hitherto has re-
fused assent for very definite rea-
sons. But circumstances have
changed. On the whole, 1t now appears
that Great Britain has nothing to lose
and everything to gain by some inter
national agreement as Mr.. Hoover sug-
gests. We won the war by starving
Germany, and probably we would not
have won it otherwise, but it is un-
likely, to put the case on the materials
tic grounds, that we shall ever again be
able to employ that weapon effectively.
Circumstances do not repeat themselves.
Therefore, we may as well make viz
tue of necessity and agree to discuss
a project which, in the long run, Is
likely to be to our advantage"
challenge to World"
The Spectator said that the speech
Of the President was "a challenge to
the world to reflect upon the foundations
Mr.. Hoover laid bare the American man
ner of thinking ON this matter, which
was said to be entirely different from
that of Europe, the weekly stated, IF
any Europeans are still puzzled to I'M
derstand why the United States remains
outside the League of Nations they will
be enlightened by Mr.. Hoover's disSer-
ton. For our part, we rejoice at his
candor."
In conclusion the Spectator said:
"Great Britain and America, having
now no fear or jealousy of each other,
could arrange a permanent peace to-
morrow, but other nations have to be
brought in. Latin nations will need a
great deal of persuasion. One clear
thing is that the United States and
Great Britain in combination have a
fair hone of bringing other nations into
line. and that there Is no other hope.
1--WE are grateful to President Hoover
and are sure there will be an enthusiast
tic willingness in this country to try to
build with him q new international
edihce."

TRAITS OF JACKASS
TOLD BY CONNALLY
Texan Treats Senate to Dis
course During Tariff
Debate.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Connally, Democrat, of Texas
treated the Senate last night to dis
course on he appellation of sons of
the wild jackasSes" given some of the
Republican Independents by Senator
Moses Of New Hampshire, President
pro tenn, at q recent dinner.
The jackaSs Is a great animal" Con-
nally observed amid laughter from the
galleries. "Whe nhe Is docile and per-
forms the tasks his master imposes on
him, everybody has respect for him.
It's only when he becomes wild and
gets his tail over the dashboard that
he becomes the object Of derision and
Scorn."
Debate Tomato Tariff.
Moses criticized the independents for
not following the Republican leadership
in the tariff contest, and Connally's
discourse, which came during debate on
the tomato duty, was prompted by a
crat. of Montana, after the Texan said
he wondered what the animals thought
about higher duty on oats.
Wont the Senator tell us what he
thinks about the wild 1ackass?" Wheeler
asked. Explaining what he thought
Moses meant, Connally said that, as
long as the Republican independents
followed the leadership of their party
and were subservient," the New Hamp-
shire Senator thought they were good
Senators, and that it was only when
they kicked over the traces that
Moses thought they were sons of the
wild jackasses."
THE Senator has discoursed so elo-
quently on the wild jackass." Senator
Dill, Democrat of Washington, re-
marked, that wonder what he thinks
of the young Turk"
You mean Senator Vandenberg?"
asked the Texan, just as somebody on
the Republican side of the chamber
corrected Dflls statement to young
guard
Helps Defeat Motion.
1T hope the new guard will be able
to stiffen the lines Of the Old Guard"
Connally said, but let's get back to
tomatoes"
To Vandenberg, Republican Of Michi-
gan, has been attributed part of the
leadership in q successful rebellion of
the younger Republican Senators which
yesterday helped to defeat a motion to
adjourn, although Senator Jones, Re-
publican of Washington, leader Of the
Republican regulars" had assured the
Democratic leadership the motion would
be carried.

County leaders admit that they do
not see just how they are going to
handle the courthouse bond issue II
Senator Jones insists on his opposition
In the Senate, because of the fact that
his opposition will carry the support of
the other Senate members, as it is dis
tinctly county proposition.
Whether Senator Jones can Withstand
the great demand of the people Of the
country for the improvement, as indi-
Gated by the action of various organiza-
tions of the county. remains to be seen.
Nearly every organization in the State,
including not only those in the sub
urban district, but even upcounty or
CARNATIONS in the rural districts, has
passed resolutions urging the improve
ment.
When the matter reaches the Senate,
1t was learned today, Senator Jones Is
going to be faced with scores of voters
I'm the county who are planning to de-
mand public hearing before that legis-
lator on the matter, in an effort to con-
vince him that the voters are for it.
One large delegation Of more than 200
persons. which is planning to advance
on the Legislature when the matter is
before the Montgomery County commit
tee, is to be led by Barnard F. WEIGH,
Republican leader.
Even women's organizations of the
county are getting behind the matter,
the Woman's Democratic Club of Mont
gomery County, of which Mrs. Charles
E. Roach is president. having voted
yesterday for the additional bond issue,
when they met in the county building

w. Luckett were named for the COM
mittee.
An appeal for the coordination Of
efforts of the civic interests of the
county and their cooperation with
the Arlington Chamber of Commerce
to the end that "the best can be OBJ
tanned from the county's wonderful OPP
portunities for high class development"
was made in an address by P. P. Wood
bridge, executive secretary of the
chamber.
B. M. Hedrick, supervisor for Airing
ton district, declared that he had been
misunderstood with regard to the i'm
provement Of Wilson boulevard. He
had been reported as saying that the
road would be widened and otherwise
improved If the property owners would
furnish a free right of way. The i'm
provement of the boulevard, he said, Is
contemplated and widening and free
rights of way are desirable, but they
are not contingent on its improvement.
Grover E. Payne of Ballston was
elected president of the organization,
succeeding Gilbert Hall of Aurora
Heights, who declined denomination.
Mr.. Payne has long been leading
civic worker in the county. He Is preSi-
dent of the Ballston Citizens Associa-

ment. He declared that free rights of
ways for widening Of the road, which
