Imperial Free Trade
Sentiment Changes
From the Houston Chronicle.

From the Houston Chronicle.
For years the people of Great Brit
ain have looked askance at pro-
tective tariffs. The free trade slogan
has been one to conjure with since the
days of John Bright, a catchy phrase
with which to corral the votss of the
masses. The recent victory OF Con-
sentative candidate in a bye election
to Parliament shows that the cleverly
worded imperial free trade" idea is
beginning to percolate through the con-
seriousness of the average Briton.
The conversion of the English people
to protection will of necessity be
gradual. But the triumph OF Lord
Beaverbrook's policy may not be far
distant. since the Conservatives seem
to have gone for it, hook, line and
sinker, as powerful campaign issue.
The seat now held by Sir Cyril Cobb
Is the first one the Labor party has lost
in year. The Liberal candidate with
drew. asking his followers to oppose the
Conservative, but apparently his appeal
fell on deaf ears.
Evidently there has been a great
change of sentiment on the subject of
free trade. A large and ever-growing
body OF public opinion Is for it-within
the empire. They seek to make the
British Isles and the various domin-
ions a separate economic unit, with
tariff barriers raised against the rest of
the world.
The new tarin laws Of the United
States make 1t increasingly difficult for
Canadians to sell their raw products
south of the border The government
of Ottawa has recently provided in its
budget basis for tariff reprisals against
this Nation, extending preferential rates
for members of the British Empire
That shows, however, one impeachment
to imperial free trade" Each domin-
ion has the right to make its own
tariffs, to raise the rates even against
the mother country. Ontario, In
Canada, will not look with favor upon
the new plan, since its interests are
mainly industrial. But the vast MAJ
jority Of the colonials, farmers and
ranchmen probably will snthuss.

@. How long must q starting pitcher
stay in a game in order to get credit Tor
base ball game?-K. Mon.
A. American League rules provide
that starting pitcher must work four
full innings before receiving credit for
game, while National League rules
specify that he must pitch five innings.
However, in the case of pitchers leav-
ing the game before the minimum in
nings, it still may be arbitrary with the
official scorer, according to the rules, as
to whether he should receive credit for
a victory If his team wins. If, in the

Capital to Reflect
Prestige of Nation
Prom the Kalamazoo Gazette.

Prom the Kalamazoo Gazette.
Far-reaching plans for enhancing
the beauty of our Nations Capital are
embodied in the $300,00o,o0o building
program that is being carried forward
with President Hoover's approval. The
program is wider in scope than any
previous undertaking Of Its kind. It
includes the erection of a new Supreme
Court Building project amply JUS
titled by a long-felt, practical need
and the development OF civic center
for WaShingtonS municipal government.
Then there is the Arlington Memorial
Bridge, which is expected to be COM
pleted some time next year at cost OF
about SAT 100000 The Capitol grounds
are to be extended generously, enlarge
ments will be made on both the Senate
and the House once Buildings, and
nearly every Government building in
the District will be remodeled to a
greater or lesser degree.
All this, of course, will cost the Gov
eminent considerable sum of money,
but most of the improvements contem-
plated have been long overdue. 1t is
the opinion of the President and other
Government officials that now is a
most excellent time to undertake these
vast projects, in view of the conditions
prevailing In the building trades and
industries and the desirability of in
creaSing opportunities for employment
Certain 1t is that the Nation can well
afford to go ahead with the plans.
There is no hint of extravaganza in
the program, but there is a clear reah-
zation of the fact that the richest Ma
ton in the world has a right to main
tain Capital City in keeping with it's
own greatness.
In a way it is perhaps unfortunate
that Washington is not situated some
what closer to the geographical or
population center of the country. where
a larger portion of the people might be
more free to visit it frequently and
with ease. Yet the site of our Capital
was chosen long before the Midwestern,
Western and Pacific Coast sections had
been developed to anything like their
present Importance, and there Is moth
ing to do about 1t now. Fortunately,
our constant progress in modes of
transportation is helping to solve the
problem. The time may come when
the average resident of the interior will
think nothing at all of making a trip
to Washington to watch Uncle Sam at
work and enjoy the delights of the most
beautiful Capital in the world
