HOOVER, AT HALF
 WAY TERM MARK,
 FACES CRITICISM
Many 1ouchy Public Issues Worry President at End Of
 First Two Years in Office
POLITICAL EXPERTS THINK
 HE WILL AGAIN SEEK JOB

Much May Happen Before 1932 Cam

 May Accomplish Before Then
 Farm Relief Problem Opened
 Again by Legge Nomination.
 Washington. June II GP-Just at the political halfway mark of his four-year term, President Hoover finds his fortunes ringed about these June days with 2 numerous and per sIstent swarm of touchy public is- sues.
 As if by prearrangement, the whole brood-tariff farm relief, prohibition, foreign relations, in- ternal party troubles-has come buz- zing about the head Of the man who, by virtue Of being president, also is the leader of the republican party.
 Two years ago tonight. amid the gay bunting and triumphant band music at Kansas City, he was ele- vated 10 that leadership by a single, one-sided roll call.
 Believe He Will Run Again
 Two years hence-unless history breaks her vell-established habit another national convention will see his followers rallying to consum- mate his renomination.
 Already the straws are bending to the passing breeze, and Washing ton is filled with talk Of 1892. What MT. Hoover himself may be think ing-and what first-term president ever has failed to think Of that sub ject-no one is undertaking to say. His friends. however, are getting ready; and so are his enemies with in the party.
 Those who look to another term for him rely heavily on the appeal they claim for him among the rank and file Of voters. They declare this hold is stronger, rather than weak CT, by virtue of such defeats a s he has suffered in congress. and such open breaks as'he has arrived at with party politicians. They see in the great number Of major projects he has planted in the national fa- bric promise Of bountiful fruition in the two years to come.
 Assailants Not Talking
 Those within the party who have attacked him-for instance Senator Borah. Senator Norris, and the whole senatorial fraternity Of dis content with his policies-are not talking for publication on the sub ject of 1882. They are talking among themselves. however, and the third party gossip which has been a part of every republican pre-convention campaign for a generation, persists. l. persists. but no one is willing to sign his name to prediction.
 Two years is I moderately long time in presidential politics.

BUSINESS RELIEVED
 BY TARIFF ACTION
Senate Passage Removes Ob- stacle to Recovery Of Trade
MANY FAULTS ADMITTED
Almost Any Solution Helps Dispel Uncertainty, Leaders Feel-Com- modity Prices still Low and Mar ket Down

'-NN DO''A@
 New York, June fl (CP)-Ap- proyal of the tariff bill yesterday by the senate and probability of Presi- dent Hoover signing the measure after its passage in the house today. has removed one of the greatest ob- stacles 10 business recovery at this l time, according 10 comment today in various financial and commercial circles
 While proponents Of the tariff ad- mt Its many defects, it was gen erally conceded that passage of the measure would remove many un- certalnties from the situation. Ap- proval Of the bill by Secretary Mel Ion was regarded as highly signif- cant In view Of his extensive business interests.
 Commodity Prices weak Aside from the tariff bill, renewed weakness in commodity prices. T sharp decline in stocks and further ease in money rates was the princi- pie feature Of the business week. Commercial activity as a whole showed further seasonal recession from the carly May high. although not as extensive in some lines com- pared with previous years. Out standing activity was noted in pub lie works and pipe mill operations. Due partly to the generally quiet conditions in business and part ly to impending treasury operations. money conditions showed distinct ease with call money going begging at per cent at this center. The ease in money was promptly seized as an opportunity to float a S98,Oo0.- 1 600 German government annuity loan, which. according to bankers, | should result in increased trade with i Germany Another aspect of the cheap money situation was the prob ability Of reductions in rediscount rates at some of the interior points. This development would aid moving Of crops later in the year.
 Continued weakness in commodity prices, however, has caused appre hension in many circles and pur- chasing power Of the rural sections has been impaired. Cotton this week broke to new low levels since 1927, while grains sold at new lows for the present crop. Rubber sugar. silk and silver held around their record low prices and another un- settling price reduction was made in copper prices, this time to F cents a. pound, or dangerously close to production cost. One of the leading makers Of building materials made substantial reductions in his prod ucts.
 Stocks Drop Again
 Refecting the unsatisfactory state Of general trade. renewed weakness broke out on the stock exchange. many leading shares breaking to new lows for the year. A strong re- covery was staged later in the week, however, aided by ease in money. Another factor in the early weak ness in stocks, indirectly caused by poor business in some lines, was the

2. Fertilizer prices are less than 10 per cent above
pre-war, while the average price of all commodities
is nearly 40 per cent above the pre-war level.
8. The bill contemplates also that any lessee shall
be forced to produce phosphoric acid. Nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash constitute the three in
dispensabe plant foods. There is already an excess
capacity for the production of phosphoric acid in the
United States and other phosphoric acid plants are
being built by private enterprise.
4. So far as potash is concerned, Muscle Shoals
offers no help whatever because there are no nearby
potash deposits of suitable quality.
S. The Reece substitute would compel the manu-.
facture of complete fertilizer, wholly ignoring the
fact that present demand calls for less than 100000
tons and that existing plants have capacity to pro.
duce 100000 tons.

Is there shortage of fertilizer? No.
Are we confronted with an insult
ficent supply of nitrogen? No.
Are fertilizer prices too high COM
pared with farm products? No.
Are nitrogen prices too high? No.
The Norris resolution, passed by the Senate, pro"
videS primarily for production of bOoOer by
Government corporation, with provision for fer.
tilizer research intended to cheaper costs and
increase consumption.
The Reece substitute, before the House, ines
bIic0bty SMbOrdinateS production of bOoUer and
places the stress further overproduction of
fertilizer.
We submit that the forcing of NITROGEN or fer.
tilizer production at Muscle Shoals is uneconomic
and inadvisable for the following reasons:
1. Private industry in the United States is pro.
ducing 10000 tons of by.product nitrogen and has
installed capacity to produce 100000 tons of syn.
thetic nitrogen annually-the equivalent of more
than 100000 tons of nitrate of soda.

We Filipino workers have
hard time in the United States.
We have to work as hard as other
workers and get less pay, at the
same time the bosses stir up the
white workers against us. In
Kent a while ago, 40 or so men
came to our bunk house and ran
us all out, you can imagine how
we felt when we saw the mob
coming in cars, breaking in doors
and windows, knocking us down
and throwing us out of the bunk
houses without any clothes on.
Four of us were taken away with
the mob and left out in the coun-
try.
We Filipinos must organize in
the Trade Union Unity League
with the white workers and fight
side by side with them. At Kent
we were paid 80 cents an hour
and had to work 10 and u hours
day. When we get home at
night we have to cook our own
supper. We also have to furnish
food and bedding.
We must join strong fight

ers.
