WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Cole. until recently director of the ex-
hibitions division in the overseas trade
department of the London foreign
Office. Chicago has commissioned Sir
Henry to assume the direction of in
ternational exhibitions at the Windy
City's 1888 world fair. Cole resigned
his British government job in order
to spend the next three years in Chi
cage. He and Dawes have just been
visiting the Belgian centennial expo
sition at Brussels in quest of ideas. BY
profession Sir Henry Cole is soldier.
He has a distinguished military career
to his credit in India. Cole has repre-
sented Britain at international exposi-
tions in Paris and Rio de Janeiro and
was chiefly responsible for the British
exhibition at Wembley, in 1924.
Katsuji Debuchi, Japanese Ambas-
sador to the United States, is just back
from an official trip to the Pacific
Coast. While in Washington. Oregon
and California he had opportunity to
acquaint himself at first hand with
up-to-date coast opinion on the ques-
ton of Japanese immigration. Ali in
formation available at the National
Capital is that the coast, and Cali
fornia in particular, has pretty much
conquered its yellow complex Business
men especially view the exclusion issue
through more friendly spectacles. While
Ambassador Debuchi was in the West
the Foreign Trade Convention at Los
Angeles, which included more than
1000 coast merchants, manufacturers
and exporters, voted unanimously in
favor of the plan subsequently launched
by Representative johnson of Wash
ington to put Japan on the immigra-
ton quota basis.

Such families" declares the Roa-

any city. Loving the community with
an unselfish devotion and intent always
on doing something to promote its well

What is the best way to ride on a
street car?
The question is, whether it is bet
ter to go into a daze at the beginning
of the trip and not come out of 1t
until the end or to read book, paper
or magazine.
A third course is to study the faces
of ones fellow passengers.
In these three methods are summed
up the fine art of riding on public
conveyances.
Here is an action which scores of
thousands of city human beings in
dulge in every day.
If it is done, 1t might as well be
properly done. Some attempt to es-
cape the necessity by taking to motor
cars, but then they face parking prob
lens, traffic officers, road laws and the
like.
Getting downtown and getting back
that is the essential problem, no mat
ter how one accomplisheS it, or the
means by which one attempts 1t.
Going into a daze is a very popular
method.
This does not necessarily mean that
one loses consciousness, like the young
man who went to sleep in the back
seat of the bus, and did not wake up
until his proper corner.
The daZe of street car riding is
utterly different. 1t involves lust set
tim of which art the masters are
men and women of certain tempera-
ments.
Often one will see an elderly man
or woman who lust sets" not talking,
scarcely looking. but not missing a
thing, although in a comatoSe state, to
all appearances.

adopts so easily, but 1t is easy to do as
we'll as we can, Of course.
The street car offers our best chance
Once aboard, it is feasible-nay, best
to sink into state of mind from
which only an accident could arouse us.
Statistics show that there is only one
fatality to every 100000 miles of
street car riding, as compared with one
fatality for every $4,000 miles of air
plane travel (StatisticS from Fortune.)
This shows, If it shows anything, that
Heaven still helps the working girl,
This infinitesimal danger gives one
both the opportunity and the right
to go into daze tmaybe doze would be
better spelling) the moment one
boards street car.
Seated comfortably, one may forget
the distance to be covered, the land
marks along the way, the trafnc llghts,
the passengers, the rate of speed or
lack thereof.
In a daZe, one comes to" just in
time to get off at the right corner.
This is being an expert to a purpose.
Our second method of passing the
tireSome hours away, that of reading,
is preferred by many, and as heartily
deteSted by others. The writer here
confesses himself in the latter CLASH
flcation.
Yet it may be admitted that a good
book, paper or magazine enables one
to forget the miles very painleSsly.
What bores the average street car
rider is not the stopping to take on
fellow farers, but rather the necessity
for realizing that one has just passed
that funny old house on the corner. and
that three-tourths of the trip, there
fore, remains before one.

representatives Of foreign interests 10
belabor tariff duties designed to bene-
At American business, the American
farmer and American labor. These in
terests have benefited through the de-
sire of the administrators opponents
the tariff revision which was demanded
by President Hoover in accordance with
the platform pledges of the Republican
party in the 1928 campaign.
The bill, when 1t is finally enacted
will be far more in accord with the
party pledges and with the recommen-
dations of the President than at first
was believed possible in view of the
early attitude of the Senate. However,
conditions do change and, Furthermore,
there are likely to be rates in the bill,
reached as a matter of compromise,
which should have adjustment. Under
the flexible provision the tariff COM
mission and the President will be in
position to deal with these inequalities.
The opposition to the flexible provi-
sion has had much to say about the
evils of the delegation OF power to make
rates. They maintain that Congress
should make these rates, and no other
body. The same line Of argument, how
ever might be applied to railroad rates,
which affect every man, woman and
child in the United States. Yet Con-
sress has nothing to do with the max
ing OF railroad rates, except In so far
as the interstate commerce legislation
specifies that railroad rates shall be
reasonable, non discriminatory and yield
a fair return. Congress has delegated
this rate-making power to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. Any pro-
posal that Congress itself should under
take to deal with the railroad rate
structure today would be met with de-
rision.
Early in the special session of Con-
gress called by President Hoover last
year to deal with farm relief and tariff
1t became evident that Democratic OPP
position would seek to delay ANAL action
on the tariff bill as long as possible.
If it could delay the new tariff law
until just before the congressional cleo
tions next November, the Democrats
figured it would make an issue for
them. They have succeeded so far that
the final enactment Of the bill into law,
If it comes, will take place less than
Ave months before the election. The
Republican leaders say they are per-
fectly willing to meet the tariff issue
All they desire is that it shall become
an issue without further delay.

The Flexible Tariff.

The flexible provision of the tariff
bill again comes before the Senate for
consideration in a second conference
report 1t should be approved. The pro-
vision is q safety valve for American
business and for the American con-
sumner. If conditions of foreign compe-
tition with American goods change, the
flexible provision offers remedy.
When the American people stop to con-
slider that Congress has now been labor
ing for year and half on the present
tariff bill and it has not yet completed
its labors, they will be all the more
interested in a provision of law which
can improve conditions for business and
for the consumer without having TO
wait for Congress to go through the
motions, the long political debates that
have little, If anything to do with the
actual situation and in many instances
nothing whatever to do with economic
conditions.
Under the flexible provision of the
tariff bill the President is authorized
to change by so pcr cent the rate of
duty in the tariff law on a dutiable
article, but only after an investigation
by the United States Tariff Commits
sion and recommendation by that
commission. The Tariff Commission
has been set up to make an expert and
thorough investigation Of all tariff
problems 1t is far better able to make
such an inquiry than is Congress, and,
as a matter of fact, Congress has relied,
to great extent, upon the experts of
the commission in drafting tariff legis-
latiOn in the past The flexible pro-
vision was first written into the tariff
structure in 1922 when the McCumber-
Fordney law was enacted. 1t is in the
law now. Despite the cutlery raised by
Democrats and insurgent Republicans
over the flexible provision during the
consideration of the pending bill, it has
worked only in the interests of the
people in the past. 1t offered, however,
a target for the anti-administratio
efforts TO attack Mr. Hoover. The
coalition" succeeded early in the con-
sideraticn of the tariff bill in adopt ns
an amendment striking out the powers
granted the President and the Tariff
Commission under this provision. But
the House hes overwhelmingly stood back
Of the administration in this matter.
The pending tariff bill has been the
subject Of unrestrained attacks. Many
Of these attacks have come from sources
which apparently have no information
as to what the bill actually provides.
It has become the fashion. too, for
