 There never was the slightest doubt about Dr. Eckener's com manding the South American flight" said Captain Lehman. Somebody apparently has an interest in throw ing a monkey wrench into our ma chinery, but he will not succeed. Dr. F.ckener will be in charge of the South American flight just as he has been our leader on all other Graf expeditions
 Dispatches from Pernambuco, Brazil, last night said that q pur- ported message from Friedrich shafen had been received by the Lufthansa representative there say ing that Dr. Eckener had been re- moved from command on the ground that he was too vigorously nationalstic and might offend Bra gillian susceptibilities. Captain Leh mann, second in command of the world flight last summer, was re- ported as the commander for the Brazilian flight.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-Canada

other nation with which Canada
does any considerable business.
It will stimulate her home in

mandS on her commercial houses
for more and better things and
will move those things off the
shelves. It win put more money
into immediate circulation in the
home land. 1t will put more
money into export and import
circulation.
No nation need have any COM
petitive fear Of q decline in It's
business because Of a buy home
goods campaign" in any other
nation. History has demonstrated
that such campaigns have more
of o helpful than hurtful effect
on international trade. If they
are successful they stimulate buy
ing practice at home; and that
naturally extends the buyi n g
mood until it is bound to reach
into other lands.
The United States also should
start . Buy goods made in the

other nations should do the sane.
An international buying campaign

HOOVER SEEKS
To BLOCK WAR
ON TARIFF
Calls Head of Commission
to Make Study Of Effect
on U. s.. Trade With Canada

President Hoover and the trade
advisors Of his Administration
were casting q highly speculative
eye IN the direction Of Ottawa,
where the Canadian par.ament
Is assembled in special session,
prepared to meet the Smoot-Haw-
ley tariff act with some "corn-
pensatory" duties of their own.
For obvious reasons. the
Hoover Administration has no de-
sire to engage in a tariff war
with Canada, and to that
end, International Newt Service
learned today, the President viii
instruct the new Tariff ConrniS-
sion, which starts functioning
next Wednesday, to make one of
its first acts q survey Of sched-
ules affecting the Dominion.
The White House was in tele-
phonic communication with Henry
p. Fletcher, newly designated
chairman of the commission, at
his Greencastle. Pa, home and
asked him to be in washington
on Monday.
Under the flexible clause Of
the Smoot. .HaWley act, the Presi-
dent may raise or lower rates by
as much as so per cent, providing
the Tariff Commission so recon-
mends. When Mr.. Hoover signed
the bill he admitted it contained
many "injustices and inequities, "
but promised to iron them out
through operation Of the flexible
clause. which he practically had
dictated.
To this end, the President
wants to know whether any Of
those injuSticeS and inequities
accrue against Canada, and IL so,
I how they best may be adjusted.
