WASHINGTON, May 14.-Action
by foreign governments to shut out
American goods because our pro-
hibitive tariff barrier is shutting out
theirs, daily is assuming more
alarming proportions.
Apparently convinced that the
Hawley-Smoot bill eventually will
pass the congress, and doubtful
whether President Hoover will ex-
ercise his power of veto, nation after
nation now is proceeding with its
plans to bar the products of Amer
lean farm and factories from its ter
ritory.
simultaneously with the blow at
our trade which Canada, our very
best customer, is leveling at us from
the north, Argentina, our best GUS
toner in South America, is aiming
another at us from her direction.
A tariff commission just has been
named by Argentinas minister of
finance to draw up a new schedule
of duties and there is every indica-
ton that the very first country
they pay their respects to will be
the United States, against whose
supertariff wall Argentinians have
long been protesting.
The first quarter of this year, &C
ccrding to the department of COM
merce, our trade with Argentina
suffered startling slump.
Whereas during the first three
months of 1929 we sold her just
under $5S,000,000 worth of goods,
this year we sold her bare $685.

Restore ion of speed laws on

was urged toGaJ by Sheriff George
L. Wlnxler, approving suggestion OF
Chief Robert L. Humes CT state
police, asking that the 1881 legisla-
ture pass a new speed limit statute
Opposing his views, Todd Stops,
secretary and manager of the Hoo
sier Motor Club, vigorously upheld
elimination of speed limits as a
sensible traffic rule and attacked
claims of Humes and Winkler that
speeding was the cause of accidents.
More persons have been killed
and injured in the year since the
new law went into effect, because
of the indefinite speed limit, than
in any previous year" Winkler
stated.
In 1929 there were eighty-seven
persons killed and 400 injured on
county highways. Accidents were
due to speed in 80 per cent OF the
cases." he added.
1T isn't the speed that causes the
accidents" Stops asserted. Its
the fool reckless driver, and the slow
driver, creeping along fifteen or
twenty miles an hour.
AN auto is mans machine to cut
down space and time. The roads
ord autos today are built for speed.
This law isn't an experiment" he
pointed out. Michigan has had it
in effect for years. Traffic prob
lens are mostly question OF en-
forcement. The reckless driver, but
not the speeder, should be prose-
cuted.
I'D say the slow driver is the
greatest menace on the roads to-
day." Stops declared.
The United Press today obtained
auto fatality figures from the state
OF Michigan where the mo speed
limit law" went into effect in the
fall of 1927, showing that no abb

to Dispense Mob; Grounds
Guarded.

CHICAGO, May IA riotous
demonstration staged by nearly five
hundred University Of Chicago stu
dents as a protest against the cam
pus activities of dry shoppers"
caused police to patrol the univer-
sity's grounds today as a safeguard
against further outbreaks.
The students, who gathered on
the campus late Tuesday night and
started a huge bonfire, engaged po-
lice and firemen in a strenuous bat
tie. and were not dispersed until
they had been thoroughly drenched
by high-pressure fire hose.
Immediate investigation Of the
mob demonstration was ordered by
university deans, and four students
were arrested as ringleaders.
Resentment arising from reports
last week that undercover operatives
of the federal prohibition depart
ment were to be present at all tu-
ture rehearsals of play soon to be
given by the Black Friars Dramatic
Club was said to have prompted the
demonstration.
Watchmen who were believed to
have told of asserted back-stage
drinking at the rehearsals, disap-
paared when the students threat
ened to toss them into the botany
pond.
AS goods cheered from the win
dows of their dormitories, the DEM
onstrators paraded to the campus
circle and there tore timbers from
tennis stands and nearby bill
boards. The piled wood was
soaked with gasoline and set on
fire.
Bring out the Shoppers" yelled
the students, as they did a snake
dance around the bonfire, attract
ing thousands of spectators.
Squads of police arrived shortly
afterward, firing a volley of revolt
yer shots into the air in an effort
to quell the disturbance. The
students booed.
After a free for-all in which the
officers made liberal but ineffective
use of their clubs, fire fighting
crews were summoned.
The f1remen, after losing and re-
gaining their hose in a tug-o-War
with the boisterous college boys,
scattered the mob with broadside
of cold water.
