are signs and portents that all
is not well with the ailing arm
Of Hughie Critz, little second
baseman Of the New York Giants.
Critz has been doing little but lobbing
the ball around the diamond in the
games he has played so far, and there
is some fear that his arm never will be
able to stand the strain of quick, hard
throw.

full-f1edged Cincinnati Red today. He
is understood to have signed contract

CT. PETERSBURG, Fla, March 22-
~ Judge Emil Fuchs was greeting his
Boston Braves pleasantly again to-
day, but the players hadn't forgotten the
"bawling OUT he gave them yesterday.
The judge was peeved at the thump-
ing the Braves took from the Yankees
Sunday, not because they lost, but be-
cause he thought some Of them played
listlessly.
Yesterday he told them just how he
felt about it. The Braves then went
out and trounced the Dodgers, 2 to 0,
and the judge feels better now.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 22.-The
Chicago Cubs we're slated to open

TARIFF INJURIES
CANADA TRADE

Democratic Senators today
viewed the proposal for a tariff
agreement between Canada and
Great Britain, which would fur
ther curtail American exports to
the Dominion, as a logical out
growth" of the Smoot- -Hawley tar
iff act. The Republican Senators
were reluctant to comment.
Senator Connally CD of Texas,
member of the Senate Finance
Committee, which deals with tar
iff legislation, declared:
what causes these retalia-
tory measures is our own action
in putting our tariff up so high.
We have everything to lose and
nothing to gain by a trade war
with Canada. ANY kind of a
tariff war is disastrous to both
countries involved"
Senator Harrison CD of Mis-
sisSippi, another member of the
Finance Committee, asserted the
United States must lower it's own
tariff wall if it expects to regain
it's foreign trade.

MAKES POWER
AN ISSUE Of
CAMPAIGN
Governor to Demand "Square
Deal for New York From
Federal Government

ALBANY, N. Y, July 81
IN.S.) - Having challenged
the good faith and accuracy Of
President Hoover, Gov. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt squared away
today for a battle royal with
the Federal Government for
refusing to agree on New
York's share of the St. Law
renee waterway power develop
ment cost prior to the signing
of the treaty.
The Democratic presidential
nominee will ignore President
Hoover in the future so far as
the treaty is concerned and will
carry his fight to the United
states Senate.
Demands Square Deal
He is planning a personal ap-
pearance later in the summer be-
fore the Senate subcommittee to
demand a square deal" for New
York before the treaty is rati-
fled.
Governor Roosevelt is fighting
mad. From now on he intends to
speak out straight from the
shoulder" regarding the treaty.
He feels that New York was
needlessly anubbed by the Federal
government while the treaty was
in process of negotiation and that
official Washington ran out" on
promises it had made to the
State.
To Make Power Issue
The governor is prepared to
make the treaty one of the issues
of the presidential campaign. He
is not opposed to navigation de-
velopment of the st. Lawrence,
but he vigorously insists that
New York's share of the power
development cost should have
been determined before the treaty
was signed.
He fears the Federal govern
ment may jockey the State into
position where it will be unable
to produce cheap electrical power
for homes and industries.
Following a two-hour confer
ence with Governor Roosevelt
the New York power authority
made public a communication it
had submitted to him, which
challenged statements made by
President Hoover regarding the
treaty negotiations.
Two weeks ago the governor
sent a telegram to the President
suggesting a personal conference
at the White House to settle
New York's share of the power
project.
In rejecting Roosevelt's sug-
gestion, the President said the
treaty negotiations have been
under way for nearly three
years."
The State power authority took.
direct issue with this statement.

INTER EMPIRE
/ TARIFFS ASKED
BY CANADA
Nine British Dominions Muse
; on Proposal to Erect a
Protective Barricade
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

by GGOhGG II. hOhMGS
OTTAWA, Ontario, July q
'U.N.S.).-A program which if
enacted and carried to fulfill
ment will strike a severe blow
at American trade was pro-
posed to the British Imperial
Economic Conference today by
the Canadian prime minister,
Ricard B. Bennett.
The Canadian plan, in brief,
proposes to establish a system OF
preferential tariffs throughout the
empire, in order to accelerate the
flow Of inter-empire trade.
Outlines Attitude
Looking directly at the British
delegation headed by former Pre-
Rmier Stanley Baldwin and Chan
cellor of the Exchequer Neville
chamberlain, the Canadian pre-
mier said
Canadian proposes to grant
to the United Kingdom:
81. Extension Of the free list.
SO. Retention of the existing
preferences in favor Of Great
Britain.
3. Increased preferences in re-
spect to a selected list of ar
ticIes in which Great Britain is.
especially equipped to supply
the Canadian market without
injuring efficient Canadian en-.
terprise.
"And in exchange, Canada
asks:
; 81. Retention of existing pref
erenceS.
"2. Their effective extension
to those other natural and pro-
ceSSed products of which the
United Kingdom is an importer"
And the proposal, Bennett
added, is applicable to all the
other British dominions, of which
there are nine represented in this
conference.
FFlCClOn FORECAST
He did not specify the COM
modities upon which Canada is
willing to extend or grant new
preferences. That will be where
the rub comes in, for Canada has
become greatly industrialized
since the war, and Canadian
manufacturers are apprehenSive
of their home market being
flooded with British goods.
Earlier, the delegates listened
to a message from King George
in which he stated that his
,"prayers and thoughts" were
with the delegates in their ex-
ploration Of means of promoting
more empire prosperity.
Whe nthe Kings message was
read. Bennett, who had been
named chairman of the confer
ence. proposed a resolution of
loyalty and fealty to the throne.
Every eye was on the Irish dele
gates as he put the motion, but
they arose with the rest of the
delegates in assent, which caused
first a murmur about the small.
crowded galleries, and then a
burst of applause.
