Senator Walter F. George, Dem
ocrat, of Georgia, invited by SEN
ator Smoot, chairman of the SEN
ate Finance Committee, to be
specific" in his attacks upon the
smoot-Hawley tariff bill, replied
with another general attack upon
the bill as whole and Republican
economic policies, with particular

The action of the Bank of
France and the New York Federal
Reserve Bank in granting huge
credits to the Bank of England
was characterized in government
financial circles here "as a fine
example of cooperative interna-

claims to fame, enjoys the most |
unique distinction of a member of |

OF the Idahoan was a candidate

He got the job anyhow.
