WASHINGTON, April 24.-Criti-
clsm from within Republican ranks
against the partys own tariff law
has failed 70 win sympathy from
the White House.
Bold suggestions for downward
revision at the coming session Of
congress finds no favor with Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover.
The President intends to keep on
with the slow adjustment Of rates
through the tariff commission, his
associates maintain.
/, BY the time congress comes back
in December a dozen or more rates
may be changed, but so far as tink-
ering with the general rate struc-
ture, it is out Of the question, it is
asserted.
There have been three significant
developments which have indicated
a change in tariff policy might be
In prospect:
|. The speech Of w. w. Atterbury,
Pennsylvania railroad president, to
the effect that the high rate struc-
ture undoubtedly prolonged the
business depression.
h 2. The statement Of Representa-
tive Bertrand Smell IN. ", candi-
date for Speaker Of the house, in
dicating he also considered the
rates were too high
! 3. Direct complaint Of an auto
mobile trade journal editor during
the round table discussion at the
White House. He told Mr.. Hoover
the automobile industry's foreign
trade had been ruined by the tariff
because of reprisals instituted by
other countries.

PEACE IN INDIA

Peace in India comes as good news,
not only to the millions of inhabitants
in that country and throughout the Brit
ish Empire, but to millions of others
who from afar have watched the strug-
gle which has continued for years be-
tween the crown and those who sought to
improve Indias condition.
Rejoicing that an agreement has at last
been reached, cannot even be thought of
without inspiring admiration for Gand-
hi the little Indian leader, who brought
it about.
No matter what one may think regard
ing his ideas, one is compelled to give
him full credit for sticking to his ideals
and his refusal to be sdetracked from
the path he had chosen.
Both the crown and those who sought
Indian independence have given away
much in order that an agreement might
be reached. A spirit of concilation, such
as can be achieved only by really big
men and sincere thinkers, made it posi-
BILE.
India's problem is not yet solved, but
at least way has been opened for bring
ing to the people of that country bet
ter form of government than they have
hitherto enjoyed
India needs the British Empire and
the British Empire needs India. The
world itself needs peace between India
and the crown.
Having reached a definite basis on
which future policy can be determined,
there is every reason to hope that tumult
has given way permanently to order, just
ice and progress

BY the time this appears in print, the
list congress will have become history.
Looking back over the two years of
its existence it is difficult to point out
much that could be placed on the credit
side of its ledger, and great deal might
be placed on the opposite side.
Called into special session two years,
for the purpose of devising legislature to
bring relief to agriculture, and to revise
the tariff, the congress tinkered along
and at length, after months OF wrang-
ling, brought forth relief measures that
do not relieve, and tariff that is SER
iously ieopardizing American commerce
and that cannot be termed satisfactory
BY strenuous stretching of the imagin-
alton.
With tariff and farm relief supposedly
out of the way, the congress found it.
self confronted with the necessity of new
relief legislation caused by last summers
drought, and its dilatory tactics IN that
respect are too recent to need any CON-
ment.
On the subject of increased loans for
veterans, the congress gave a woeful eX-
hibition of political chicanery 1t was
not so much interested in doing right by
the veteran as it was in protecting its
individual members from reprisals by the
so-called soldiers vote in 1882. No
thinking veteran believes that anything
other than political expediency is re-
sponsibe for the measure just passed.
This is rather lengthy list of sins
to recount and some good should be
found to counterbalance them as much
as possible. Offhand we can think of
two, one of which the congress was re-
sponsible for and the other happened
through the provisions of the law: it
