TARIFF AUTHORITY
TO Be REQUESTED
Administration Plans Con-
qresS Plea to Further
Reciprocity.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
The administration is considering
asking the next session of Congress for
authority to negotiate commercial
treaties embodying reciprocal tariff
concessions
1t was learned today that the plan
for such legislation has not been aban-
dcned, although in the rush of events
at the close Of the congressional session
In June the President decided against
submitting the proposal for action.
Secretary Hull and other State De-
partment officials declined to speak for
publication on the plans of the ad-
ministration in this regard.
Plan Still Alive.
Other official quarters, however, con-
firmed that the plan for asking treaty.
making authority in advance Is still
alive.
Such legislation would equip the ad-
mlnlstration to negotiate the reciprocal
treaties planned in its program Of fos-
tering trade relations, particularly with
Latin American countries, without the
necessity of submitting each one to
Congress in advance.
Thus f1libustering would be mini
mized, it is felt.
The legislation In contempla ton
would permit the negotiation of treaties
subject to power on the part Of Con-
greSs to veto them within a certain
period.
Negotiations Had Begun.
Disclosure of the administration s
plans came at time when commercial
treaty negotiations already had begun
with Colombia and Brazil, with Argen-
tina, Portugal and Sweden soon to fol-
low.
The treaties in most cases are ex-
pected to call for tariff reductions and
other concessions In the American mar
ket in return for foreign concessions.
While decliing to comment publicly
on the matter Of plans for legislation
until he has talked to President Roose-
welt, Secretary Hull told reporters to-
day he believed a program Of interna-
tional cooperation which would restore
40,000 900 to $60,000,000 of interna.
tional commerce to the high seas could
be worked out in harmony with domes-
tic programs now under way.

y . Stan Correspondent OF The Star


RICHMOND, Va, September a.
Following one Of the longest and hard
est fought battles Of the present spe-
cial session Of the Virginia General
Assembly. the House OF Delegates last
night passed the bill permitting the
State Highway Commission to bor-
row $4,000, 900 in industrial recovery
funds for road construction The
Senate had already acted on this bill.
Also meeting in late session. the
Senate passed the bill by Delegate
Hugh Reid permitting Arlington County
to re-enter the secondary system OF
highways, either by vote of the
people or Through an agreement be-
tween the county board and the State
Highway Commission, and the bill per-
mitted the Highway Commission to
relocate the Lee Boulevard approach to
the Arlington Memorial Bridge.
Fight Is Precipitated.
Passage Of the huge road construc-
tion bill precipitated fight Of several
hours between the city and county
delegates when an effort was made by
passage Of an amendment directing
the State Highway Commission to
spend Is per cent Of the money on city
streets. One Of the principal pro-
ponents Of the amendment was Dele
gate J. Fred Birrell Of Alexandria. who
declared that the cities are being
bonded for a $4,000, 900 debt with
out any advantages.
Despite the support of delegates from
Richmond, Norfolk. Newport News and
Portsmouth, however, the resolution
was lost by q vote of 81 to 20 and
the bill finally passed by a vote of
88 to 4, with Birrell one of the four
opposing members.
The bill was recommended by the
Governor. State Highway Commission,
Virginia Advisory Board on Public
Works and others as a relief measure.
A grant of 100000 of this amount
is anticipated and Chairman H. G.
Shirley of the Highway Commission
has stated that he will favor an equal
division OF the entire amount between
the primary and secondary road
systems.
Ask Defeat Of Portion.
Just prior to the passage in the
Senate Of the bill permitting Arlington
County to return to the secondary
highways system Senator John w. Rust
ASSS0 ocFCAdI NlcSIduS anu teie-
phone calls asking him to defeat the
portion permitting the change to be
made by agreement. One of these was
from Robert N. Anderson. president of
the Arlington County Civic Federation.
Senator Rust, however. voted for the
bill as 1t came from the House.
These two measures were sent to
the Governor for his signature, but an
emergency clause was added in the
Senate to the bill permitting the High
way Commission to change the route of
the Lee Boulevard approach and this
was to be returned to the House today
Tor concurrence.
Both the Senate and House passed
the Reid resolution urging the Cover

STABILIZING WHEAT

TINE international wheat agreement re-
l. Gently reached at London eventually may
turn out to be one of the most important
moves in the complicated game being played
to bring the farmer back to prosperity.
Behind the agricultural depression there
has stood the simple fact that the world as a
whole is able to raise good deal more wheat
than can be sold proftably.
And because the wheat-growing areas are
so widely separated and so diverse, it has not
been possible for any one nation, acting alone,
to do anything very effective about it.
The new agreement is designed to stabilize
world production at point which will give
growers everywhere a decent profit.
If it can help to assure that for the Ameri
can farmer, we shall have taken a long step
on the road back to good times.

BEHIND INSULTS DOWNFALL

A MOTHER attempt is being made to get
L n Samuel insult to come back to the
United States and answer for the way in
which hundreds of millions Of dollars OF
other peoples money slipped through his fin
gers; and it looks this time as if the effort
might be successful.
1t would be gratifying, of course, to see Mr.
insult appear before the bar Of justice. But
there is no sense in letting all the public's in
dignation over the losses caused by shi1ty
f1nanciers be concentrated on his head.
For Mr.. insult, after all, was only symp-
tom of an underlying malady. When coun-
try goes in for frenzied finance as we went in
for it. it is bound to have its insult cases.
To focus all our anger on the man himself
instead of on the system under which he OPP
Grated is to miss the point entirely.

PHILOSOPHY IS NEEDED

WoRK1NG out national philosophy to
w go with the vast experiment now being
conducted at Washington is apt to be one Of
the most perplexing jobs the nation ever has
undertaken.
1t is a job that must be done, for the pres
ent edifice of NRA, agricultural readjustment,
bank control currency experimentation and
all the rest has arisen like house without
foundation We have not yet taken time TO
say exactly what it is that we want.
We seem to be building brand new form
of society, but we have not the faintest notion
what it is going to look like when it is fin
ished. and we have been content so far to
make up our blueprints as we go along.
Fundamentally, of course, what we want is
fairly simple. The whole country, rich and
poor, radical and conservative, is united on
one thing-there must not be repetition of
the collapse of the last three years.
A land which is incomparably rich must
not again let itself be raclacd by dire poverty.
But beyond that the path is uncharted. No
one seems to know whether We are drifting
toward Fascism, Socialsnl-or neither. No
one yet has advanced a coherent theory of
economies, politics, or social organization 10
account for what we are doing.
1t is easy to say that we have left rugged
individualism" behind but when is some one
going to tell us precisely what we are going to
have in its place?
Nor is all this as unimportant as it may
seem.
Right now we still are pretty we'll bound
together by the centripetal force of the emer
gency We have shelved our differences Of
opinion to accept the program that has been
offered us, knowing that any sort of program
was better than continued inaction
Soon, however the tension will ease, and
when it does it will be in the highest degree
necessary for us to have some reasoned phil
osophy on which to base our new deal" per-
manenty
We will have to know just what it is work.
ing toward, just what it is designed to do,
just how far it is intended to change our ira
ditional system.
In no other way will We be able to subject
it to the intelligent argument and thorough
debate which it must have.

GIVE EN- SILENCE

TINE greatest flaw in the otherwise splendid
i record of Grover Whaen as New York
police commissioner was his tendency to go
ga-ga at the mere mention OF Communism
The wise action Of Commissioner Mulrooney
in banning the clubbing of martyrdom and
publicity-seeking Communists quickly took the
reds of the first page in New York and set a
wholesome pattern which police of the rest of
the country were quick to copy.
Now the extraordinarily valuable and eff
fective service of the chairman Of the New
York City NFA is being jeopardized by Mr..
whalens pet phobia. Every one except the
NRA chairman knows. or should know. that
the latest manifestation of his anti-red COM
plex-evidenced in his war on strike pickets-
is a play directly into the Communists hands.
Publicity is pure oxygen to the nations

Just keep up his sham battle with the red

a JOB FOR THE LEAGUE

TN response to Hitler's menace to Austrian
IL sovereignty, Premier Daladier announces
that France will guard the political and eco
nomic independence of that country. Great
Britain recently joined France in representa-
tons to Germany in the Austrian dispute.
italy also protested to Hitler, and in adj
dition is forming a Danubian bloc against
Germany. The Czecho-Slovakian foreign min
lister saws he expects the big European powers
to prevent a war.
All that sounds well-the great-hearted
and peace-lovin powers getting ready to
devour poor little Austria.
But what has become of the League Of
Nations? All these powers are members OF
the league So is Germany.
The chief purpose of the league Is to pre-
vent war. There is elaborate league machin-
cry for receiving and hearing complaints
when peace is threatened And it happens
that the league is dominated in absolute
fashion by the very powers now acting on
their own in the Austrian muddle.
In Geneva it is said that every effort is be-
ing made to keep the Austrian-German issue
from reaching the league, for fear that 1t
might destroy the league.
The answer to that one is fairly simple If
the league can not function in relatively
easy case such as this, in which virtually
every European government wants Austria
protected from German Fascist encroachment,
the league is dead already.
The leagues reputation is low, to be sure,
and with good cause. But a decisive victory
in this case would do much to revive the
leagues reputation and future usefulness.
Germany, if hailed before the interna-
tional body could not destroy the league by
trying to withdraw. Only the league can de-
stroy itself by cowardice and inaction, by
failure to live up to it's own covenant.

OLD ORDER PASSES

CERIOUS discussion of almost any question
- ends with the concession that 1T all
comes down TO a matter of education" Yet
this gets Us nowhere so long as it is left mere
" as an abstraction.
In what way does dynamic education fit
in with the conception of the new deal in
American institutional life?
The best brief answer to this is contained
in two John Day pamphlets-A. Gordon Mel
wins Education for the New Era: A Call to
Leadership" and a Call TO the Teachers of
the Nation" issued by the committee of the
Progressive Education Association on social
and economic problems.
Perhaps the most valuable phase Of Pro-
fessor Melvin's work is the broad perspective
it supplies for understanding the fact that
we are really moving into a new era. He thus
summarizes the old order which is passing:
The social structure which We are shuf-
ding OF is that Of the, period known to his
