At Wonnan's Party

Bolivian women are taking

The committee accepted War

though it's investigation found
that brokers records showed his
gains exceeded $4,000, 900 for the
year.
AS an instance, Warner said he

the year but the records Of the
brokerage house Of Schatzkein

SENATE BATTLE
ERASES TARIFF
AS 81 ISSUE
Nearly Score of Democrats
Desert Leadership in
Last 4o Hours

The tariff, as an issue be-
tween the Republicans and
Democrats in the '32 campaign,
has been pretty we'll knocked
into the proverbial cooked hat
by events in the last 48 hours
in Washington.
At least, a good many Demo
Gratis are not going to be able
to bear down very heavily on the
time-henored issue in the political
battle at hand. For it was Dem
ocratic votes that wrote tariffs on
coal and oil into the current bill
lion-dollar tax bill, and it will
be Democratic votes that also will
write import duties on copper and
lumber in the bill if these are
included later, as they probably
will be.
Gripped by Paradox
For many months, the Demo
cratic National committee from its
headquarters here in Washington
has directed an unceasing and bit
ter attack against the "iniquities"
Of the Smoot-Hawley tariff act.
Countless statements have been
issued denouncing the "Grundy-
lied" tariff act of 1929. Nothwith-
standing that had it not been for
a handful Of Democratic votes
the Smoot- -Hawley bill could not
have originally passed.
The height of Democratic defec-
ton on the tariff, however. has
been reached in the pending tax
fight.
Nearly a score of. Democratic
Senators have deserted their
leadership and voted to include
import duties in the tax bill
coal, oil, lumber, and copper
being the principal items.
BarkIey Under Fire
The bitterness which has crop
ped up in the party over the
battle this week has intensified
the agitation for the elimination
OF Senator Barkley Of Kentucky,
as the keynote orator of the
Democratic national convention.
Now that Barley has Joined
the log-rolling coal, oil, lumber
and copper combination of Demo.
cratic Senators in writing into
the tax bill duties on these com
moditieS, the objections to his
keynoting the convention have
become more pronounced.
How, ask his opponents, can
Senator Barkley expound . the
iniquities of the Smoot-Hawley
tariff and Of prohibition, when
he has voted for heavy duties
and is a dry?
