 Chairman Davis of the commit. tee, regarded as a staunch prohIbi- tionist, then asked Smith if Tt i' not true that many American, were patronizing foreign ships be- fore prohibition.
 "Oh. yes" Smith replied.
 "Why do they take foreign ship; In preference to American shipsY asked Representative Lsmneck democrat, Ohio.
 Smith replied: "Of course it't fact they can get all they want tt drink on the voyage 10 nowhere and on those ships l hear they dc other things Americans are not supposed to do."
 "If we didn't have prohibition we wouldn't have that problem. Larnneck commented.

New York. Feb s (Up)--Weak- ness in commodity prices was an outsta ndinR factor In bringing pressure on individual issues on the stock exchange today, unset ting the entire market.
 Leading industrlals, notably U. s. steel recovered from the lows late in the afternoon and were holding around the previous close in dull turnover. Selling elsewhere appeared to be drying up as the market turned into the fifth hour, but there was no concerted effort to follow rallies.
 Commodities also displayed a slight improvement. Wheat was down fractionalIy and declines were made by rubber. cocoa and cotton, copper metal was offered for sale hs low as cents q pound delivered in tho domestic market, a record low. Sugar was steadler after the March position had dip- ped to tho record low last week at 91 cents for 100 pounds of raw sugar. Coffee was steady and so was silk, tho latter market leth- argic and without interest.
 Ease in wheat brought pressure against ]. I. Case, International Harvester and Sears Roebuck and all made new bear market lows. Copper shares were driven down on the decline in the price for the metal, American smeltlng making c new low at 12 3-8 off 3-8 and Annconda 8 7-8 off leg.
 General Electric made q new low nt IS Is off 7-8 and several Of the rails, including Atcblson and Chesa apcake and Ohio dipped to the lowest levels of the major decline.
 Steel common managed to hold firm and 50 did Bethlehem. neither affected by adverse conditions in the steel industry. Auburn Auto touched 103 off 3 points and later recovered all the loss. Chrysler and General Motors registered small losses. General Motors re- ported sales for January at 74,7f0

 He did not elaborate this state- ment, except to say that unless democrats in every section are on the guard" the republicans will re- main in power while the general public will continue to experience periodic panics and unsound busl- ness conditions"
 Hull assailed the republican policy of Economic isolation" He declared this policy was the chief cause of the depression and Is "The greatest danger to world peace today"
 Their wild and mad pursuit of economic isolation, which contem- plates that every nation shall be. come more and more hermit na- tion. constituted the greatest sim gle underlying cause of the awful panic which burst upon our coun. try in 1020," Hull charged.
 Hull laid the onus of blame ai the door or successive republican tariffs eliminating in the Shoot. Hawley tariff of 1880.
