Wrecked Our
Foreign Trade

Thus he finds, as every one
else who thought found, that
during his first year in
the Presidency, Mr.. Hoover
seemed the victim of a
strange paralysis"-a pa
ralysis "that showed most
deplorably in his relations
with the tariff. " He had
summoned Congress to make
a limited revision, but under
the whip and spur of Joe
Grundy, a sublimated lobby
ist of special interests, and
1t built an insurmountable
tariff barrier against trade.
Mr.. Hoover acquiesced -
then became a militant cham
pion of the policy he had op-
posed. Mr.. Nevins con-
cludes:
I'm approving and defend
ing such a piece Of legisla-
tion, Mr.. Hoover made him.
self answerable to a grave
charge at the bar Of his
tory-a charge such as few
Presidents would care to-
meet"

Courage and Faith
Power Company Shows Both

In these days when lack faith is deterring many
business firms and individuals from making any progress
the action of the Potomac Electric Power Company in embark
ing upon building projects calling for expenditure OF about
$7,500000 is worthy of commendation.
The development at Buzzads Point is about to be started
at cost of $5OO00O0 and the establishment of electric
interconnecon at cost of almost half that amount is
projected for the immediate future
President William F. Ham and his associates in the affairs
of the company the proper courage and wisdom in thus
taking advantage Of present market conditions
These two large construction jobs calling for the employ
ment of hundreds should be of material assistance in
improving the labor market The company purposes to use
Washington labor exclusively on the two projects
Other Washington firms could we'll follow the example Of
courageous seerest which is demonstrated by the Potomac
Electric Power Company.

wastage of vast sums of the
people s money.
Referring to the plan
urged by Mr.. Hoover:
What Mr.. Hoover did
was to accept an improvised
scheme that was obviously
faulty and dangerous; to
pin his reputation as a
believer in scientific methods
to a plan which was thor
oughly unscientific. The re-
suit is that the country
must accept a loss of hun
dreds of millions, while the
f mers feel that
genuine relief has never
been attempted"
Thus Nevins disposes of
the first two achieve
ments" of Mr.. Hoover's
genius for leadership, and it
is the disposition that the
historian will make and the
conclusion every one has
reached today.

Rigid Rules

Rigid Rules
Some wives are inSiStent that
meals be served at the same
hour each day.
And, if a certain time has
been agreed upon, the routine
should be observed.
But there are times when
a husband should be forgiven
for his failure to conform to
the general rule, especially
when he has given ample no
tice that he may be. late.
In such case he should not
be met with a rebuff.
Neither should be expect
that upon his late arrival he
should receive as we'll prepared
and perfect meal as usual.

Mr.. Hoover's Fitness
For His Job

And yet Mr.. Hoover's
leadership and vacillation
and confusion will be frankly
anaylzed and discussed
throughout the campaign un-
less the Democrats continue
to suffer, as they have so
long, from the inferiority
complex.
Skepticism concerning his
capacity to lead in such a
crisis as we have been led
into by him and his asso-
ciates is by no means con-
fined to Democrats and
politicians.
We urge all our readers to
mediate a lot on Allan
Nevins' article in Current
History, for July, concerning
Mr.. Hoover's fitness for his
job. Mr.. Nevins is a pro-
fessor of history at Columbia
University. He is one of the
outstanding writer's of his
tory and biography in Amer
lea today. I know him we'll
and have never known his
politics. Certainly he never
has been a partisan Demo-
crat.
He has studied Mr.. Hoover
with the detachment and i'm
partiality of the historian.
He sees him through the
eyes Of the future.
The Washington times., 1932-07-23
A Deliberate
Distortion

Something worse than in
capacity in leadership is
touched upon by the his
torian in dealing with the
doctoring Of the Wicker
sham report on prohibition.
There is something here that
smacks very much of quack-
cry or trickery. 1t is a
serious charge, but a fair
one, that Nevins makes when
he says:
ION the day of its re-
lease the press was given a
summary which totally dis
torted its contents"
It was not an accidental
distortion-it was deliber-
ate; and that means that a
deliberate attempt was made
to deceive the American
people.
That does not make for
confidence in the integrity
of the nations leadership;
and lack Of confidence in a
crisis is tragedy.
The Washington times., 1932-07-23

THE Wall Street journals
i and special pleaders are
evidently much wrought
up over Mr.. Garner's plain
speaking. This is a time for
plain speaking. With ten
million breadwinners jobless
and children dying of slow
starvation and Government
doing nothing about it, this
is not a time for "dear-
teachers and kind-class-
mates" talk.
There is one sure way to
determine the effectiveness
of a speech: If those whose
policies it assails become a
bit hysterical and abusive
about it you may know that
the speaker has hit center.
And when, as in the case
Of Garner, it becomes neces-
sary brazenly to misrepre-
sent what he has proposed
the forces he opposes must
be hard pressed.
Perhaps his none-too-com-
plimentary comment on the
character Of Mr.. Hoover as
a leader and executive in a
crisis can only be answered
by calling Garner names.

adventure, he will never return

So many love affairs are lop-
sided, with all the love sagging
on one side, and all the luck
on the other.
The modern bridge club may
not be such a worthy institu-
tion as was the old-fashioned
sewing circle: but exchanging
cigarettes and reducing secrets
may be a healthier pastime,
after all, than passing pound
cake and dishing out scandal.
Most lovers quarrels, as we'll
as most domestic Spats, arise
from the efforts of one to DEM
onstrate his Cor herr superior
intelligence-and the determi-
nation Of the other not to be
impressed.
And then there is "chande-
lier-golf," which a man perfects
in the iving-room, at great ex-
pense-and promptly forgets on
the links.

"Botched the
Tariff"

dT111
Prof. Nevins sums up with
a portrait of Mr.. Hoover that
is painted with a fine fidelity
to the truth:
"To say that he is a vic
tim of the panic and the de-
preston, that if his outlook
for victory is dark it is be
cause he has hard luck, is IN
large part a misstatement'
Undoubtedly the view that
millions will take Of him will
be colored by their suffering.
But the great initial loss OF
confidence in him occurred
because at the outset, when
the skies were brightest, he
showed inability to lead-be-
cause he botched the tariff,
he botched farm relief, he
botched prohibition; because
he showed a Bourbon tenn
per and an inelastic mind.
If there had been no panic
or depression he would have
lost public support, and he
deserved to lose it."
Such is the dispassionate
conclusion of a distinguished
and impartial historian who
is not a politician or a par
tisan; and the vast majority
of the people will find in
these views a reflection of
their own.

MARRY-GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland

Many a man marries a quiet,
restful little thing, who won't
get on his nerves-and then
finds life so placid that he
looks around for a few wild,
peppy women to help him to
endure it.
And now we have with us the
Big-Butter-and-Egg Woman, to
whom a smart car, a pair of
Pekingese and a gigolo are
just a part of the overhead"
It's a deep, dark mystery to
the average husband, how his
wife's light outfit of pyjamas,
step-ins, and backless dresses
seems to take up three times
the closet room her mother
needed for her petticoats, flan-
nels and mutton-leg sleeves.
Now that men have discov-
cred both poles and all the
continents, perhaps some great
genius will arise among them

ment' and the person securing the loan had either @ savings or a commercial account the bank has authority to set off the loan, by ap- plying the account to the note due.
 Here's what the supreme court says, "A depositor in a savings de- pertinent of e trust company cannot --set off the amount of such de- posit against an indebtedness due from him to the company for money loaned by that department; i; for if this was permitetd the rule of equality between depositors might be destroyed. Nor can Q depositor in the commercial de- partment set off the amount of such deposit against a debt due from him to the savings depart ment for money loaned"
 The latter part of the above quoted statement means that a person with a commercial depart ment account cannot have 1t ap- piled to loan 1ie owes the sav- ing department.
 The decision explains in the following statement the case wherein a set off may be made: "A borrower from the commercial department may set off, against his debt to that department, the amount of his deposit in the sav- ings department, and his right to do 50 is not impaired by the fact that he put up collateral security for his loan and is of financial responsibility apart from the value of his collateral"
 That means that a person Dor. rowing from the commercial de- partment and having a savings or a commercial account may have them applied to his debt to the commercial department.

.M-JACKERS AND POLICE BATTLE
 IN WORCESTER

Worcester, Mass, Jan 19.-(UP) Police and masked hijackers ex- changed shots in the rear of a Burncoat-street house early to-day when the hijackers, after stealing several cases of liquor from a eel lar, returned for a second load.
 The hijackers, three in number were driven into some woods, and police took possession of the re- mainder of the liquor.
 When the hijackers first broke into the house they put the occu- pants, Mir and Mrs Samuel Kline James Bender and John Myers, un- der guard in a single room. De- spite warnings to keep quiet, Kline called police after the trio drove off with the first load.

Hincks ruled that the raid was legally conducted.
 Following a recess and . confer enee the accused through their counsel entered pleads of guilty and were sentenced.
 There was considerable interest in the case owing to the contradfc- tory features of evidence. Johnson entered the restaurant at 231 Bank street and walking up to Tony Di- orio asked if he could look around the place. Tony replied that as far as he was concerned he had no objections for he was not in charge. Johnson then asked per- mission of one Ralph Guerrera, who was arrested at the time as manager, and Guerrero not under standing English very well made some muttered answer, which Johnson took as an indication of consent. Toma was allegedly in charge and no request was made of him. In Cooking around Johnson stepped behind the bar and picked up pint of liquor. He then telephoned to police head quarters and asked assistance.
 1t was the claim of the defense that Johnson entered the place it. legally and had no right to ask permission to Hook around, dis tinction being made as to giancing about and searching. The prelim- mary battle was staged before Commissioner Harry A. Krasow and the finale came yesterday in the United States district court.
 The court was infromed that shortly after the arrest of the two men the restaurant went out of business and the doors had been "padlocked."
 A case of local interest disposed of yesterday in the same court was that of Anthony Perrotti, a well known resident of Wood- bridge, who was last fall in pos- session of c large still and a com plete outfit for the manufacture of liquor. He was fined $500, but the execution of the payment was suspended.
