FEMININE LEADERS
TO MAKE SPEECHES
Representative Norton and
Mrs. Sabin Prominent
at Convention.
b. the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 29-Women are
still the outfielders in this Democratic
National Convention, but the men
pitching the ball, of course-are giving
every indication of awareness that a
turn is coming to the ladies.
The question is, how many innings
will it take?
Today among half a dozen women
ready to second nominations for Presi-
dent, at least two were chosen for dem
onstrated ability as -pleaders. as
well as for regulation political consider
ations,
Wet Delegates.
Representative Mary T. Norton of
New Jersey prepared ringing speech
fJr Al Smith. 1t was this sturdy.
black-haired, full-voiced woman who
brought the first National Committee
battle over prohibition to climax, in
Washington, D. c., with a caStigation
of proposals to sidetrack the issue And
she is an ally of Mayor Frank Hague
of Jersey City-not unknown to the
Smith strategists.
Just as wringing wet is Emma Guffey
Miller, ready to take fling at bat for
Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt. 1t was this
straight talker who called names in
making fun of women prohibitionists
while lecturing up and down the land
as a standard bearer for Mrs. Charles
H. Sabin's woman's organization for
national prohibition reform. And Mrs.
Miller is a sister of Jim" Guffey,
lately returned to boss Pennsylvania
democracy.
Hardly a commentator has missed
the striking womens activity in this
Democratic meet. One may see women
campaigning-passing out propaganda,
denying allegations and arguing cases
all through the crowded corridors Of
the Congress Hotel. They don't go home
at midnight, these women. They stick.
Power in Smith Circles.
But it's men who get together and
figure where they want the convention
to go. The only women directly con-
suited in said parleys is Mrs. Henry
Moscowitz, real power of the inner
circle of the brown derby. Women
raised row over Kingflsh Huey Long,
but the vote that seated him was a
decision over which men put heads to-
gether.
Yet at least dozen women are CIV
ing approval or disapproval to these
understrokes of the campaigns.
And among the unofficial workers
for special planks women are getting
and giving advance information. Mrs.
Sabin herself was making the rounds
of headquarters last night, predicting
a repeal victory today. She said more
than 80 voting delegates are signed up
with her own organization.
Repeal is the first thought here"
she added. at comes before the can

Grey had offered what seemed
an iron-clad alibi. He, too, had

was alright. He was nearly

More Trade Barriers

To the almost universal high tariff bar riers already erected against international trade. new hindranees are added. There are important taxes which work by the quota system and are often sudden and arbitrary. There are embargoes such as the one which France recently elapped upon American fruits without warning, SO that eargoes already shipped were denied market when they reached their destination, until our gov- ernment protested. The United States Chamber of Commerce is making emphatic protests against such unfair and unwise irn- pediments to trade, but SO far without much effect.
 Under this system, as described by Walter Lippmann in the New York Herald Tr- bune-- "A government department, re- spending to no one knows what eonsdera- tions or what kind of hidden pressure. sud denly fixes the amount of particular com modity which may be imported Under this system prices cease to regulate interna- tional trade and in it's place there is barter regulated by bureaucratic fiat.
 Since the quotas can be changed almost without notice, or turned into embargoes mitigated by licenses of exemption, the in- ternational market for goods is deeisively controlled by the arbitrary action of off, cials.
 The mere existence of such power is in itself destructive of all systematic economic foresight power of this kind cannot be exercised intellgently since there is no intel lgent principle which can guide the officials in exercising it. The system must develop into gross favoritsm and almost certainly into corruption
 Let us hope that this is the last piece of conspicuous economic folly in an economic ally crazy world. Here we have universal business depression caused largely by the de- termination of industrial nations to sell much abroad and buy nothing abroad. And in the very depth of the depression when the supreme need of the hour is resumption of normal international trade, they insist on an almost complete damning up of the natural streams of business Rampant nationalism could not go much farther If the move ment continues, it means economic suieide for civilization.

A Book a Day
 by BRUCE CATION
A Murder That Caused q War

The murder of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand at Serajevo in 1914 was not the work of a single fanatic. It was done by a secret so. ciety of fire-eating young Servians who had been conducting cam paign of assassination and terror ism for more than decade. and the shot that plunged the world into war simply eliminated a long series of violent outbreaks.
 The story of this society and its turbulent career Is told in They Call It Patriotism tangled, in- tense sort of historical novel by Bruno Brehm. translated from the German by Margaret Goldsmith and offered in this country by Little, Brown & Co at $2.50.
 They Call It Patriotism" be- gins in 1903. when the Servian hot-heads launched their cam paign to revive the ancient, glories of their fatherland by murdering their king and queen and footing the royal palace. It follows their adventures down through the years and gives an exciting. clear cut picture of the fatal day in Serajevo.
 Francis Ferdinand. 1t appears. was murdered because he was the one man in Austria Hungary who wanted to give the Servians within the empire fair break. The hot heads at Belgrade feared that this would end forever their plan of re- establishing the ancient kingdom SO, inspired by the highest patriot ism. they killed him and set the world on fire.
 The first part of the book is ex- tremely hard to read. if for no other reason than that the names of all the characters are utterly beyond hope of pronunciation by an American. But once you pass the first few chapters you find that the book holds you. IL not only gives you q new glimpse at the Background of the war; it tells an interesting story as well.

It takes all sorts of people 10 make a world and all sorts of businesses to make community. However, New York seems to have corner on the most novel and at the same time outrageous practices, that pass for business. We are prone to refer to them as 'raekets''. They are nothing more than swindles perpetrated only through brute force and intimidation. Not long ago we read about trucks being forced to pass through New York with drivers or attend ants certified by the boss" Failure to comply might mean loss of truck and driver both. Now window cleaners are warning against those who try to 'ehisel' in on their daily bread and butter. We suppose if the companies don't comply few safety straps are cut and workers killed. There are 40,- 900 window cleaners in New York. It must be profitable for cut-throats to "ehisel in here.
