. WINNING IN SLUMP
Enactment of High Tariff in
Period of Stress Held
Trade Loss Factor.
Do the As,ociated Prs.a.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November l5--Thomas
w. Lamont, partner in J. p. Morgan &
Co., told the Academy Of Political Sci
ence last night that America is win
ming through" the current business de-
preston.
Let US have no misgivings," he said,
"as to the ability Of our country to win
through its difficulties. Our economic,
cur financial, our banking world are
far better ordered-even though for the
moment in our gloom we may fail to
realize the fact--than they have been
In the past. The process Is already un-
der way--that process OF working ana
saving, the exercise Of patience and
courage"
Mr.. Lamont said the enactment Of q
higher tariff during this period OF
worldwide stagnation was untimely and
had affected both our home and for
eign trade through the creation OF III
feeling abroad.
He attributed the international BUSH
ness crisis to six chief factors: Over
production in basic commodities and
manufactured products; artificial price
stimulation; the drop In the silver mar
ket and its effect on the purchasing
power of China and India; overcentral-
ization Of the gold reserve in France
and the United States; political unrest
in India, China and South America, and
rampant speculation" here and in
other countries.

lODLESS INCREASE
TlTS BRITISH FUND
e1o,5o0. 900 Additional for
Unemployed Included in
Government Estimate.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 16.-The big
jump in unemployment is responsible
for an additional flo,50o,0oo for the
unemployment fund and E76o,000 for
extra salaries and wages in a supple
mentary estimate Of nearly &1i,0oo,oo0
issued today.
A memorandum published with the
estimate said, that the administration
of unemployment insurance involved
additional work. Owing to the depres-
sion in industry there Is more unem-
ployment than when the budget esti-
mates were originally framed.
The estimate also calls for money to
assist the present crisis in the sugar
industry In the West Indies which is
responsible for advances of 5000 to
Antigua, $4,000 to British Guiana
and $1,000 to st. kits.
Damage caused by the recent earth
quake In Dominica was largely rsspon-
sible for grants totalling El4,5O0 and
the sugar crisis in st. Lucia for 22,500
The supplementary estimate prepared
by the chancellor of the exchequer was
submitted to Parliament today.

No Question About Tariff Be-

Bill Asserts.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Reed Smoot, whose name is
attached to- the new tariff act SO wide
~ condemned and defended in the re-
cent political campaigns. said today
"the question now Is whether the tariff
is high enough, not whether it is too
high"
In statement after comforting with
President Hoover, the veteran Finance
Committee chairman held the tariff to
be aiding business recovery. He said
wage levels were being maintained In all
major industries as result Of agree
nents brought about by the President"
Says Prices Higher.
Thousands and thousands Of people
are at work today with the boot and
shoe, textile and other industries who
would be idle except for the new tariff, =
he added.
"'The prices Of corn, butter, wool and
other agricultural products are higher
today than they would have been, as is
proved by the prices everywhere else in
aAaricuit,rai products In the rest Of
the world have dropped go such 1eFels
that they would be flooding our coun-
try II 1t were not for the tariff. The
purchasing power of the farmer is be-
ing sustained. thus creating more work
for other people.
Wage Levels Upheld.
sFar from reprisals is the result Of
our increased tariff, only one nation
has increased It's tariffs since we
undertook revision and that hardly af-
fects US at all. Moreover, in the three
years previous to our revision 30 na-
tiong had increased tariffs against us.
Under agreements brought about by
the President, wage levels Of the United
States are being upheld in all the
major Industries. and since the tariff
bin passed wages have been falling in
every country Of the world except the
United States. And, with this widening
difference between American and for
eign wages, the question now Is whether
the tariff \ Is high enough, not whether
it Is too high.

Of such q game IN the hands Of an

more than week of negotiating by
Marine Corps officers, the local Chamber
Of Commerce offered its services. Previ-
olsly, Frederic pelanp, chairman, Of the

WEST POINT, N. Y, November Is
P).--While authorities representing the
two academies in Washington an
nounced agreement for the Army-Navy
post season foot ball game receipts to
go TO the Salvation Army, West Point
today revealed early differences over
arrangements with Grover Whalen,
former New York police commissioner
and representative Of the Salvation
Army.
Army ofiicials, seeking to exercise full
control Of the game and disposition Of
its receipts, declared Whalen in q tele-
phone conversation today had declined
to yield to West Point his option on the
use Of the Polo Grounds.
Text Of a telegram. sent by Secretary
of War Hurley to Whalen, also was re-
leased. Hurley. in this message, advised
Whalen no agreement had been made
for the disposal of the gate receipts and
suggested he confer with West Point on
the subject.
The Army men have taken the stand
that, with play In New York, the benefit
contest is "home game" for West
Point, and that, therefore, its repre-
sentatives should take charge Of de-
tails, subject to agreement with the
Navy.
