j. 5. TARIFF

BERLIN, June 20.-The press
continues to criticize the Amer
ican tariff bill. The Frankfurter
zeitung calls 1t a monster Of
economic folly" and says it seems
absurd to undertake dangerous
experiments when American ex.
ports have been reduced by more
than 20 per cent.
It appears still more absurd,
the paper adds. that a man
should take responsibility for the
nonsensicals bill who bears the
name Of Hoover. "
After declaring the coming
weeks may bring reprisals and
heated discussions in other coun.
tries, the Frankfurter Zeitung
calls attention to the attitude Of
the Canadian government, which
introduced q bill demanding de-
fensive measures against The
United States and preferential
tariff for Empire products.

ANOTHER ARISTOTLE
NEEDED, SAYS POUND
Dean Of Harvard Law School
Traces Disillusionment to Too
Much knowledge.

Need Of another Aristotle to assemble
modern knowledge and present it in an
understandable fashion was stressed
last night by Dean Roscoe Pound Of the
Harvard University Law School, in an
address before the Phi Beta Kappa
Association at the University Club.
Dean Pound Is a member OF the
National Law Observance and Enforce
ment Commission appointed by Presi-
dent Hoover.
Discussing philosophy as a Guide
Dean Pound described the influence Of
philosophy and other subjects on va
rious generations, and said there was
little difference in the results in other
eras and today.
This is not the first era to call
itself disillusioned," he said. 1T is
possible that our disillusionment is a
nightmare caused by trying to digest
too much learning. What we may be
waiting for Is another Aristotle who
will assemble all this knowledge and
present it in a way we can understand"
The speaker was introduced by DR..
George E. MacLean, president Of the
association.
The association decided to invite five
honor students from each college and
university in and near The District to
attend future meetings. A campaign
will be launched to enroll other Phi
Beta Kappas in the association. There
are said to be 600 in the District, while
only about 200 are members of the
organization.

STREETS CROWDED
IN GAY HALLOWEEN
CELEBRATION HERE
Many Merrymakers Appear
in Police Court Today in
Bizarre Costumes.
TONS OF DEBRIS LEFT
BY NIGHT PARADERS
Special Detail of Police Put in
First Precinct to Handle
Throng.

Gay throngs transformed downtown
Washington into a colorful playground
last night in celebration of Halloween.
Nearly hundred of the more bolster
GUS merrymakers, subdued by a night
behind the oars, limped into Police
Court today to be told Of the errors OF
their ways. Many were attired in pic
turesque costumes, adding a touch Of
the bizarre to the ordinarily staid
courtrooms. The charges ranged from
plain drunkenness to breaking glass in
the streets.
Police reported total of 3I8 arrests
during the 24-hour period, less than
half of whom were jewellers. Thirty per-
sons were taken into custody by spe-
cial details from other stations assign
ed to the first precinct for the night.
Traffic Signs Scattered.
Traffic signs were scattered here,
there and everywhere. Police were
forced to climb up several telephone
poles to retrieve warnings from their
lofty perches. Street cleaners removed
tons of debris from streets and side
walks.
While the celebration was at its
height thousands of good-natured men,
women and children provided an I'M
usual spectacle on F street. With q
three quarters moon above, Fall crisp
ness in the air and leaves swirling along
the pavements, the occasion was well
up to par.
Prince Ali Bendo Present.
The only place for smaller children was
on their elders shoulders and that's
where they were-wee harleqinS with
large noses, tiny Spainiards with shiny
toreador hats, and a little lad o. luck
decorated with deck Of playing cards,
each ace, jack, king and spade pinned
on with large safety pin.
Snake-dancing pedestrian jewellers
threaded through the traffic-clogged
streets. Foot ball formations got i'm
petuS enough to crash through the
motely mobs at the day-bright theater
fronts.
Block on block, all along the lines of
display windows, spectators stood with
their backs to the window shopping
possibilities, their eyes on the laughing,
chummy. Glowing Halloweeners
Throngs of colored merrymakers
wandering along U street from Seventh
to Fourteenth. The attraction in this
vicinity was a tall individual dressed
as Prince Ali Bendo the crystal gazer"
Of Amos n Andy fame.

WALSH BACKS HYDE
IN SOVIET WARNING
Georgetown Eduactor De-
cIares Compromise With
Russia Would Be Peril.

DR.. Edmund A. Walsh, s. j., vice
president of Georgetown University, in
his second public lecture last night
in Gacton Hall on the Soviet five-year
plan of characterization, characterized
it as 1.-The last trench Of militant boil
shevism."
Asserting that the recent Russian
short sales in the Chicago Grain Ex-
change had taken $1,000,000 from
American pockets to further the great
world revolution" DR.. Walsh defended
Secretary of Agriculture Hyde for his
recent attack on these manipulations in
the market. To agree with those who
have charge Secretary Hyde with
drawing a red herring across the trail
to bolster up a Republican administra-
ton and divert attention from farm re-
lief" DR.. Walsh said, would be to CLOSE
ones eyes and ears to mass OF similar
evidence in Europe"
Calls Compromise Peril.
CAS- one of the half million olsen
franchised citizens of the District OF
Columbia, I owe political allegiance to
neither of the major political parties"
he added. II can maintain, therefore,
that it would be deplorable for either
party to drag the Russian record into
the already murky waters of partisan
politics and there transform historical
fact Of international Importance into
a red herring or a red snapper.
"A political party, whether 1t be in
or out of power, that would compromise
with the Russian challenge" Or. Walsh
added, docs so at its own peril, per-
forms a national disservice and bestoWs
aid. comfort and profit on the public
enemies of the United States in the
Kremlin"
DR.. Walsh said the Russian wheat
manipulationS should not be regarded
as an isolated phenomenon" but as a
characteristic act of government with
an international program" England,
France, Germany and Belgium, he de-
clared, had felt the effects Of this
policy.
Referring to the colossal endeavor to
industrialize Russia in five years, DR..
Walsh said 1t was a final counsel of
despair" on the part of the Commu-
nists 1T probably never would have
been adopted If Lenin had lived" he
suggested.
May Regret Policy.
"Lenin knew his Russian peasant and
once before recoiled before that goaded
giant as he showed signs Of revolt" he
added. 1.-The Russian Communist party
may live to rue the day when they
shelved Lenin's last will and testament
in which the dying dictator recon-
mended that Stain be removed from
control Of the party"
The situation in Russia under which
the five-year program is operating, DIR.
Walsh likened to the days of serfdom
abolished by Alexander II In 1861. He
cited information to the effect that
thousands of political prisoners are
being reduced to misery under guards
who compel them to produce lumber
and other commodities to finance the
fve-year plan.
In his lecture next Friday evening
DR.. Walsh will discuss the foreign pol
itical policy of the Soviet Union.
