AMERICA IS NOT.
BOOK-M|NDED

America is not q book-minded
people, says Lewis Gannett, New
York writer.
Americans smoke more Gig.
arettes, attend more theaters.
ride In more motor cars, listen
through more receiving sets 10
more brOadcasting stations, and
play more midget golf than any
other people In the world, but
Americans do not read more
books.
"Our publishers last year
issued 8,342 new books, and new
editors Of 1,845 more. That
seems like q bewildering lot.
But the British put out 9,4OO
new titles and $3.50 new edi.
tions, and the Germans 22,9s2
new books and 4,S5S new edi-
tiOns."
Mr.. Gannett points out that fig
ures available are not entirely
comparable. For instance, the
French, and often the Germans
do not bind their books in clott
and there is no line drawn be
tween books and pamphlets II
certain countries. The inference
usually drawn from such figures
that Americans do not read az
much as Europeans, is vitiated by
the enormous development OF th'
American public library system
and of the newspaper and naga
zine business in America.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-LF-
Leaders in the senate's tariff fight

tie. The regular Republicans claim
a slight margin, but the Democrat
ic-Independent Republican coali-

to admit defeat.
Both sides kept an eye today upon
Senator Reed, Republican, Pennsyl-
vania, whose vote was clasSed in the
doubtful column. Reed was in
London as a delegate to the arms
conference while much OF the tariff
debate vas taking place. He took a
copy Of the conference bill and q
bulky brief case full Of related doc

Although the conference report
was placed before the senate in two
sections, an agreement has been
reached under which both win be
voted upon a at single roll call.
Sent back to conference for its
fourth revision. the measure was
ready today for final submission TO
the two houses Of congress. Except
for n provision which presented
some temporary difficulty. The con-
ferees deferred until Monday a

to reach an agreement upon this
clause, that affecting the duties on
