has increased previous British prefer
ence on 223 of the 252 items compris-
ing the tariff schedules, and raised
from 80 to 157 the number Of items on
the free list for the United Kingdom.
The deal is, of course, reciprocal. so
that many Canadian products will In
future enter the British market under
preferential conditions, including both
lower rates and an expanded free list.
As indicative of how British conces-
sions to Canada will affect the United
States, Dominion wheat is to enter Brit
ain duty free; while the general tariff
of 432 American cents a bushel will be
levied on wheat from all other coun-
tries.
The die-hard British free traders,
whose principal voice is that Of Viscount
Snowden, greet the Canadian tariff pact
with dismay. They foreshadow bur-
densome rise in the cost Of living, espe-
cially for foodstuffs, among the British
masses, whose unemployed ranks have
just swollen to the highest figures yet
recorded. Yet with the Baldwin Con-
servatives invulnerably in the parlia-
mentary saddle, the protective tariff
system in Great Britain seems assured
of perpetuation. Only the arrival of
such disastrous conditions, in conse-
quence of it. as Viscount Snowden is
now lugubriously predicting is likely to
detach Britain from her new fiscal
moorings.

Condemning the Third Degree.

When the American Bar Association,
in convention assembled, sees fit to
condemn third degree practices the
public is justified in concluding that
lawyers as class are critical OF those
devices Of police investigation OF crime.
The association speaks with the au-
thority Of expert knowledge Of condi-
tions and from the angle of the pro-
lection OF legal methods as opposed to
illegal. The resolution adopted by the
convention yesterday reads as follows;
Resolved, That the American Bar
Association comnlends to police and
law-enforcement agencies the use, so
limits, OF modern scientific methods
such as are being developed by scierti-
f1c crime-detectiol laboratories. as tend
ing to replace certain methods some
times referred to as the third degree.
In form and content this pronounce
n1ent Is entirely constructive. 1t
stresses the positive values in the cir
cumstances. 1t recognizes the desir-
ability Of new technique, while
frankly conceding the right, if not the
duty. of the police to investigate after
as well as before making arrests. The
expression offers no comfort whatever
to professional criminals. 1t does not
imply that apprehended outlaws are to
b unduly protected against society.
Possibly the solution of the whole
problem will c~n,e with the develop

ment of what the association considers
modern scientific methods" Law-en-
forcement agencies hold no brief for
the third degree as such. They have
defended it, from time to time. because
it happened to be the only effective
weapon available. II better weapon
is being perfected. the police will well
come it.
The third degree is an ugly business,
but society very properly insists that
criminals shall not benefit from criti-
cism of it. Science ought to be able to
discriminate between guilt and inno-
cence, and it is to be hoped that con-
sistent progress may be made by GRIM
inologists in their endeavor to discover
and establish psychological principles
by adherence to which they may sup
plant wasteful, cruel and dangerous
procedure with methods beyond re-
proach on any social score.

Misrepresenting Washington.

The Cincinnati Enquirer is sending
to congressional candidates question:
aire designed to record their views on
some of the issues relating to Federal
economy. One Of the questions asked
Is this:
Will YOU favor a reduction in ap-
propriations for the City of Washing
ton. which jumped from 26,0OO,0OO to
$4,000, 900 in seven years?
The source of the Enquirer's figures
is confused by the fact that appro-
priations for the District Of Columbia
have never approximated s26,000,Ooo IN
any one year, nor have they ever been
higher than the s45.0s5,676 appro-
pr.ated in the fiscal year 1881. Ap-
propriations were, in round numbers,
s23 900 900 for the fiscal year 1924 and
s31,lO0 900 for the fiscal year 1925, ana
these represent the nearest approach 10
the figure, s26,ooo.ooo, given in the
QUESTIONABLE.
But the figures themselves are not
important and the inclusion in the Fed
eral budget of estimated expenditures
for the District of Columbia, along with
the estimated expenditures for the other
agencies of the Federal Government
always leads to a misunderstanding as
to the source of the money to be appro-
priated. Any one unfamiliar with the
fiscal relations between the District and
the Federal Government would naturally
conclude, from studying the Feoeral
budget, that the total for the District
of Columbia is to be appropriated from
Federal funds, just as the total for the
Army or the Navy or the Department
of Agriculture is to be appropriated
from Federal funds.
Appropriations for the District OF CO.
lumbia since 1925 have increased from
the total of 31,175, ,672 to SAL ,642,74 in
the current fiscal year. The Federal
share of such appropriations during the
same Interval has decreased by Is per
cent and the amount appropriated from
locally derived taxation has increased
54 per cent. Thus all the increase has
been shouldered by the local taxpayers.
The benefits of the decrease have gone
to the United States. The appropria-
tons for the District Of Columbia were
drastically decreased for 1888 under
1882. But the local share actually in
creased
Washington, of course, suffers from
the sort of misunderstanding OF local
conditions illustrated in the Enquirer's
QUESTIONABLE. Like the citizens Of Gin
cinnati, Wsshingtonians are not only
taxed heavily through local taxation
but through their Federal taxes as well.
Unlike the citizens of Cincinnati, the
benefits of reducing the local budget
are not reflected in reduction Of local
taxation. They are reflected only in
decreasing the Federal contribution
below the proportion stipulated in un-
repealed law. The average member OF
Congress serves several terms before he
becomes familiar with the system Of
dividing expenses between the citizens
of the District and the Federal Gov
ernment And too few of them have
the interest, or the time, to study
that relationship from the viewpoint OF
equity or what is really needed to sup
port this Federal Capital.

Anglo-Canadian Tariffs.

First fruits CT the recent Ottawa
conference are manifest today in the
form OF an announced tariff preference
arrangement completed by Canada and
Great Britain. AS the Dominion Is the
United States largest single customer
among the countries of tie word,
American export trade is directly and
;eriously affected by the scheme to
admit British goods into Canada on
tariff terms far more advants geous than
will henceforward be applied to i'm
ports from this country.
Uncle Sam will regret the prospect
that confrcnts him, but he has no right
to complain about it. Canadians viii
tell you that they were practically
driven into :eeking closer fiscal rela-
tionships with the mother country by
the United States action in enacting
the Hawley-Smoot tariff law. 1t deals
a heavy blow at many branches OF
Canadian exports to the United States
The Dominion feels that in favoring
Jchn Bull over Brother Jonathan it is
on,y a case Of tit for tat-that the land
of the maple leaf has bat INDUCED in
the sincerest fern of f1attery by imi-
tating practices long in vogue on this
side of the border.

American wares compete with British

Eminent men Of limited early educa-
tional advantages often obtain many
college degrees by award. The value OF
expression is to make the idea which
prompts it entirely clear, and there Is
no harm in a casual observation to the

always guarantee absolute accuracy in

tion toward gambling is its insidious de-
basement of 50 many formerly whole

Summer hundreds of fetes and garden

Many of these have in the past been

nowadays gambling games and ma

Higghligghts on the Wide World
Excerpts From Newspapers of Other Lands

TINE PALESTINE BULLETIN.
Jerusalem.-Talking of news
papers. we fail to see that the
i new press law shows any very
serious departure from the law
as it stood previously. Till now news
papers have been governed by the
Turkish press law as amended by the
penal code. We doubt whether editors
or the public will notice the change.
The dummy editor will, as far as we
can see, remain in the same position
he held before. Dangerous or inciting
matter will appear in the same guam
tity as before. Ever since the riots
there has been talk of new press law,
but is it very doubtful whether the
present publication was worth the cost
of printing. No one will be any bet
ter off or any worse of for it. AS far
as seditiouS publication is concerned,
the new bill is merely legislation by
reference.
We think of more pressing legislation
than this.
DIR. Tagore Urges
Harmony In India.
Bombay Chronicle.-"The time has
arrived" says the poet, DR.. Rabin-
dranath Tagore, in a statement on
the present situation. "for the es-
tablishment of harmonious understand
ing upon the ground of justice and fore
bearance" We should have thought
that the time for harmonious un-
derstanding arrived pretty long ago.
The poet also appeals to all the parties
concerned to evolve q suitable consti-
tuition through which the country can
proceed toward peaceful, social and
economic development" and adds that
sufficient number Of thoughtful in
dividualS are ready for such a final
effort.
His detachment is extraordinary and
gives one the impression that he SHES
at the task Of fixing the responsibility
for the present chaos where it belongs.
His statement would have served some
useful purpose If it had at least un-
equivocally condemned the present re-
with regard to constitutional procedure
AS it is. it is neither poetry nor good
strong prose.
Danzig's Troubles
Interest Ireland
Irish Independent, Dublin.-Another
European free state, much smaller
than ours, namely, that of DanZig, has
just settled its dispute with its power
full neighbor, Poland. Relations be-
tween Danzig and Poland have been
strained for q considerable time, and
the principal point at issue was one
which concerned both parties greatly
the rights of Polish naval units in Dan
zig harbor. The settlement provides
that certain privileges necessitated by
Poland's special needs are to be given
to the naval vessels of that country by
the Danzig authorities. and the eco
nomic boycott of Danzig by the Poles
is to be called of in return for a guar
antee Of adequate protection for Polish
nationals in the Free City. 1t is to bs
hoped that this settlement, which re-
fleets credit on the common sense oi
both parties, win lead to q permanent
improvement in their relations.
