SWANSON SAYS
+. TARIFF RUINED
j. s. TRADE
BY CLAUDE A. SWANSON
United states Senator from virginia

United states Senator from virginia
NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-As
soon as the present Republican
Administration was inaugurated,
possessing control of the House
and the Senate, Congress was
called into special session to put
into effect the promises made
and the policies favored by that
party.
After months of debate the
party passed the Grundy-Smoot-
Hawley tariff bill, which revised
the whole tariff structure. The
existin6 tariff rates were higher
than any heretofore imposed IN
this country, and only after mucn
bargaining and log-rolling was
the present infamous tariff Dill
passed.
Veto Pleas Ignored
During the debate upon this
measure it was propheSied that
its enactment would be tol-
lowed by retaliatory legislation
in other countries, and that 1t
would result very seriously IN
the reduction of the export OF
American goods. agricultural. min
eral and manufactured products,
and impair the prosperity OF all
these lines of business in America.
The President was urged to
veto the measure for these rea-
sons. The President promptly
signed the measure, and the bust
ness depression, not only in the
United States, but all over the
world, was promptly precipitated.
Nearly all of the countries OF
the world retaliated by passing
customs duties which greatly hin
0ered the importation of Amer
lean products of every kind.
Foreign Trade Ruined
Immediately there was an i'm
mense reduction of foreign trade
and commerce, and each nation
became almost dependent, for the
consumption of various products,
on purchases within its own boun,
Diary. It disturbed the flow OF
trade and commerce the world
over.

FRENCH LICK SPRING
HOTEL, May 27.-Indiana Demo-
cratic editors, meeting here today

day summer meeting, we're doing
their best to stage a love feast and
close the breach between the sup
porters of Frank Mayr Jr.. secre-

Governor candidate and his ally, R.

Principal efforts were directed to-
ward quieting the talk concerning
the defeat of Mayr for renomina-
ton. Little Dick" yVerneke, Terre
Haute boss, was playing role of the
peace dove.
It is a continuation Of the move
ment he started at the Sixth dis
trict meeting at Sheridan Tuesday,
when he had introduced and passed
a resolution asking that all in
cumbents of two-year state Offices
be nominated without opposition.
Party veterans who feared the
possible effect of a schism if Mayr
is refused the denomination joined
Werneke in the peace move. but it
was not evident that they we're max
ing great progress.

came likely that they might not be

James F. Burke, general counsel of

Even National Chairman Simon

Hoover has not taken senators

Selection Of a national chairman
is Of great Importance to men up

The prevailing fear is that Hoo
yer will disassociste his campaign

italize Whatever dissatisfaction the
public feels toward the legislators.

AIRPLANE SPEED
LIMIT is SET
Filters Never Will Hit 600
M. P. H. Experts Say.

By Scripps-HoUard Newspaper Alliance
LANGLEY FIELD, Va, May 81
Airplanes never will be able to 20
faster than 900 miles an hour, de-
spite the fanciful predictions of
prophets, unless something radically
new and different in wing designs
comes along.
This was revealed here this week
at the annual conference of the Ma
tional Advisory Committee for
Aeronautics, the governments air
research group. Nearly 200 of the
country's most prominent aeronau-
teal engineers attended the confer
ence.
The limit on potential speed was
discovered by tests in the N. A. c. A.
high speed wind tunnel.
At 500 miles an hour, it was COM
puted, the drag or resistance of a
wing to the air would be so great
that it would be impossible to sup
ply the horse power necessary to
drive it through the air.
Even at that, designers of racing
planes still have about 200 miles an
hour ahead of them. The worlds
official speed record is slightly more
than 400 miles an hour.
In the N. A. c. A. wind tunnel.
it is possible to do research and
make measurements under condi-
tons Stimulating 900 miles an hour.

He's told Of it so many times at
the importunings of youngsters
that its flags wave no more for
him and Grants cigars are like
dead stubs on the sidewalk.
"rT~HE Rebel officers came with
Il their white flags right by
our division-we we're Burnside's
men-at Appomattox. They were
beaten and the look was on their
face. We sensed something big
about to happen.
Grant rode by. chewing his big
black cigar. It might have been
the same cigar of yesterday for all
any one could tell the difference"
He hesitated and dreamily eyed
two comrades in the forts room.
His rocking chair again took up
its squeak with - Then they
came back from headquarters.
Men running and riding. Smiles
were on their faces. Lees sur

I'VE threw our hats in the air.
We Rugged one another. And then
we rallied around the flag and
hoisted it up in the air. You
should have seen it. 1t was a
sight, son, all those men around
a flag" he said.
We could see it. Men, worn
with battle and wanting home,
rallying around a flag that had
carried them away from that home
and making a Maypole out of that
which had cost them dearly and
their enemies more.
