lieves that "the nights there must be
as cold as Greenland at its worst" but
that there are "alternations of tenn
perature that imply furs after sunset and

life, if there is any on Mars, must have

Comparing the situation of Mars with
that of the Earth, the Providence Jour-
nal offers the explanation: The sun
gives the whole Earth one-fifteenth
more heat in January than in July.
But it gives Mars half as much again.
This ought to give the northern Mar
tians comfortable Winter. But there
are two important differences One is
that the heat that Mars receives from
four-f1ftfs as much as the Earth re-
ceives. The other is that the atmos-
phere of Mars is so thin that it affords
but very scanty thermal blanket So
the heat that the planet receives from
the sun at once flies off into space. The
result is that the noon temperature in
the Martian tropics may be as high as
70 degrees. But the morning and eve
ming temperature is far below Zero AS
the Earth is much nearer the sun than
Mars, we cannot see the night side Of
Mars. No high-grade life that We
know could flourish on Mars, on ac-

Too Many Cooks p?

III late DOnoOn OlSpdICIleS ACACeI 'AAe
cantankerous truth, the American dele
cation to the World Economic and
Monetary Conference seems to be pro-
viding an ocular demonstration OF the
old saw that too many cooks spoil the
broth. Unhappily the prospects OF sue
cess at London are bleak enough with
out conjuring up the horrendous
thought that the conference might be
wrecked by disagreement within the
American delegation.
The rift in the lutte appears to have
been sprung by the submission Of a
suggestion originating with a minor
American expert that horizontal and
multilateral ten per cent tariff cut
should be placed on the conference
agenda as a topic for future discussion.
No sooner had the League Of Nations
secretariat, which Is responsible for
such announcements, issued the sug-
gestion as proposal emanating from
the American delegation-a not unnat-
ural conclusion-than Senator Pittman
vehemently disavowed the delegation
parentage Of the child and branded it
purely and simply as brain wave of
subordinate experts" The result was
lines reading: World Conference
Bombsheu. U. s. Experts Disowned."
It is hardly as bad as that, but the
fiction at any rate seems no long
tenable that President Roosevelts
spokesmen-delegates, advisers, experts
or what have you-are band Of
brothers, divided perhaps as the billovs,
yet one as the sea.
While the tariff mystery was still
mystifying. came other evidence that
the Americans appear to be working at
cross purposes. MIR. Jay Hayden, keen
Washington political writer, cabling to
Mondays Star, went the length of as
serting that "the United States clearly
has not one delegation, but two" He
narrates that Mr.. Roosevelt sent O. M.
w. Sprague and James M. Warburg,
Treasury advisers, to London with
SPECIFIC commission to negotiate cur
rency stabilization, to apply to an ex-
perimental period Of six weeks. These
men, it is said, regard themselves as
answerable solely to the President and
Secretary Woodin, and only when per
sistently invited" to do so, did Messrs
sprasue and Warburg deign to give the
oficial American delegation "a few
crumbs Of information" about the
Treasury advisers back-room sessions
with the governors Of the Banks of
England and France, in which George
L. Harrison Of the American Federal
Reserve also participated. 1t has been
known in London for several days that
these various representatives Of key
central banks of issue had framed in
outline a scheme Of Anglo Franco
American stabilization. But suddenly
came as a cold douche from Washing
ton the news that the proposed scheme
is unsatisfactory to President Roose-
welt and the United State Treasury.
These things naturally puzzle the
other nations" cables Mr. Birchall to
the New York Times. They think they
detect lack of unity in the American
delegation and an overshadowing un-
certainty as to its course"

TARIFF INCREASES

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
The administration, says Hugh S.
Johnson, industrial administrator. is
watching closely the import situation
in relation to increased costs of pro-
duction under the domestic recovery
act.
THE time has not come to act yet. :"
Johnson told newspaper men. But We
are studying the situation. We have
asked the Tariff Commission to stand
by and will act promptly if necessary.
This meant the administrator was
considering asking President Roosevelt
to impose higher duties and embargoes
if necessary to keep cheaply-made i'm
ports from underselling domestic goods,
made more costly by higher labor ex-
penditures
The administrators views were eX-
pressed concurrently with publication
by the Commerce Department of June
trade reports showing imports of iron
and steel products into the United
States increased 80 per cent during the
month, compared with May.
Under the recovery act. the President
is authorized to investigate competition
of foreign goods with domestic prod
ucts. If he finds such conditions as
to render ineffective or seriously to en-
danger the maintenance of any code
of agreement" he may prescribe new
duties or even stop lmportatlons.

.CODE WILL AFFECT

Merchants and ManufaCtur-
ers' Secretary Predicts
Great Increase in Jobs.

The Washington employment situa-
ton will be quick to feel the effect of
the Presidents emergency code affect
ing all industry, the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association predicted to-
day. While declining to estimate, even
roughly. the number of additional work
ers which will be made necessary un-
der the plan, Edward D. Shaw. secre-
tary of the association, predicted in
creased employment would be wide
spread
Illustrative of the extent to which
the code will make itself felt Is the
manner in which it affects department
stores. Shaw pointed out, which must
remain open for minimum Ct 50 hours
week, while adhering to a 40-hour
maximum working week for employees.
In some cases, it is expected the ad-
ditional hours will be taken up by estab-
fishing stagger work days but increase
stance Is essential. This. Shaw ex-
planned. is the intent of the admins
tration'S action.
With several of the downtown stores
functioning on a five-day week at pres
ent. as has been the custom during
Summer months for several years. it is
not expected that much increased en-
ployment will result in this field of
business here for the time being. The
code is interpreted as not affecting
hours Of business established prior to
July l.
After September l. when stores now
closed on Saturdays reopen for busi-
ness that day, it is expected that many
employees will be added. especially in
the larger department stores.
Meanwhile, all other branches Of 10
cal trade and industry represented in
the Merchants and Manufacturers As
sociation were meeting or arranging
meetings to discuss the Presidents code
as it affects their business. The code
will remain in effect until such time as
these industries submit their own codes
to the National Recovery Administra-
ton and have them approved.
Retail coal merchants connected with
the Merchants & Manufacturers As
sociation met yesterday to discuss the
code, and were in session again today
studying its details. The three national
coal groups. representing retailers. an
thracite and bituminous merchants, are
expected 10 submit tnelr cOoeS 10 lne
