M'LEOD TO CONFER

Plans Trip to Detroit to Reach lie.
cision in Gubernatorial
Campaign.

Representative Clarence j. Mcleod
Of Michigan, who has been serving dur
ing the present session Of Congress as
acting chairman of the House District
committee, expects to leave Washing
ton this morning for Detroit and to hold
conferences in other parts of the State
to help him in reaching a decision as
to whether or not he will be a candidate
for governor.
For several months Representative
Mcleod has been listening to the urg-
ings of many political leaders In Mich
igan, who have been seeking to get his
o. K. on their plans to run him for
governor. Petitions have been circulated
and have been signed by many thou
sands Of voters all over the State. The
slogan has also been used, Draft Nc
Leod for Governor" and apparently
has been very effective.
Representative Mcleod, although he
has consulted with personal friends and
some OF the party leaders, has not
given any intimation whether he will
consent to allow his name to be used.
It Is understood that the campaign or
ganization is ready and that his friends
are ready to subscribe all the law al
lows" to put him over.
The trip to Detroit is really to take
his family home for the Summer but
at the same time he is expected to make
his decision regarding the gubernatorial
campaign.

MARKETS DECLINE

NEW YORK, June 14-Speculative
markets declined broadly today. Stocks,
which had bad weather Friday, the 18th,
bumped into an air pocket on Saturday,

Share prices were unsettled early in

ment of reduction in the export price
of copper to 1855 cents a pound from

EUROPE ARRAYED
AGAINST us. TARIFF
Proposed Increases Resent.
ed as Nations Close Eyes
to Own High Duties.

Daily News Copyright. 1880.
PARIS, France, June I4.-Right or
wrong, Europe is up in arms against
the proposed increases in the American
tariff
Opposition to the contemplated rails
ing OF American tariff rates is on a
sentimental basis, as the European
nations close their eyes to their own
high duties. There is a long list Of
American goods which are refused the
right to enter some countries at any
duty rate whatever, such as radio parts
and automobiles, which are barred by
several Central European states.
Sales OF U. s. Autos Hampered.
Dealers in American automobiles all
Here is a typical example: A Swiss
manufacturer of electrical goods refuses
to buy an American car because he
fears that American classification of his
electric time device as q watch pre-
vents him from exporting to the United
States. The Swiss bought q German
car, though he knows that the Ameri-
can car Is better for his needs. A Swiss
starts TO boycott American goods before
he knows how the new tariff will
operate.
1t is the same in the Swiss watch
making and lace districts, but the Basel
chemical producers are not so excited.
In calculating the balance of trade as
favorable to the United States the Swiss
do not mention American tourist ex-
penditures nor remittanceS.
Swiss Idea Sentimental"
The Swiss ideas on the tariff are
paralleled throughout Europe-and 1t
Is sentimental. You hear business men
say: Europe must unite against Amer
lea or be crushed" and then they plan
an economic United States of Europe.
Also the Europeans never mention in
their attacks against the American
tariff policy that most of their pur-
chases from the United States are for
raw materials without which European
industry would cease. Europeans never
mention that goods made from Ameri-
can raw materials are sold in q trade
surplus to countries with which often
the American trade balance is unfavor-
able.
"Reprisals" Not Justified.
1t is possible that the sentimental
fight against the American tariff will
cease when 1t is found that the United
States still buys goods from Europe, and
as far as reprisals are concerned Euro
pean tariffs are already more than
counterbalancing the costs Of American
mass production.
There is a surplus of European in
dustries. Europeans will more and more
supply their own needs. 1t is doubtful
whether lower American tariffs could
help much In holding the European
market.
After the fight against the new tariff
is guided less by sentiment Europe will
buy from the United States what we
make best and cheapest.

By JACK HARDY.

The working class of the South
is caught in the maelstrom of cap
italist exploitation. Its last refuge,
the farms from which the workers
originally came, has definitely
closed it's doors upon them. Their
plight is, if anything, worse even
than that of the mill hands.
The inhabitants of the Piedmont
district of the southern states are,
almost entirely, descendants of the
Colonial settlers. For many decades
they received little migration, either
from other states or from abroad.
Generation after generation of fam
lilies continued to cultivate cotton.
AS a result of the labor of the en-
tire family, they managed to exc
out a meager existence.
During the last decade, however,
four changes have taken place in
southern rural life: % The lean
assets which many of the small cot
ton growers had accumulated as a
result of generations of labor have
melted before their eyes; (2) thou
sands of them have migrated to the
mills in the vain hope of somehow
or other improving their lot; 81
those who remained in the Pied
mont have been reduced to the
feudal status of tenants or crop
pers; and (4) a distinct process Of
rehabilitation is going on among
the masses of the South.
Since 1920, land values and other
property in the Piedmont have been
dropping steadily. In Gwinnett
County, Georgia, for example, the
average land and buildings per farm
in 1920 were valued at $3.50. By
1925 this had dropped to $1,607.
Implements and machinery per farm
dropped during the same period
from $3.50 to $40; livestock from
1895 to 1892.
The overwhelming majority, how
ever, are the so-called troopers.
These people have no property, ami
mails or implements of their own.
They are, therefore, forced to let
out the services of themselves and
their families much after the man.
