 Tariff relations were due to as- sume greater importance with the arrival late to-day of Prime Min ister Bennett of Canada, which is the second largest customer of the United States. Canada's member ship in the British commonwealth gives a three-cornered aspect to the tariff problem.
 With fateful bearing on the eco- homie conversations, congress en- tered upon one of it's most mo- mentous weeks with prospect of passing the imitation bill carrying its grant to President Roosevelt of extraordinary powers to alter the monetary system.
 Under this bill, the president may change the amount of gold in the dollar, accept up to $1O0,. 900, ,000 in silver in payment of wal debts, and issue billions of new currency if he deems 1t desirable

 Thomas, dem, Okla. Today present ed the administration imitation bill | to the senate as program under which $200,0O0,000 of purchasing power could be transferred from bank depositos to the lebtor classes.
 Thomas was the administration spokesman, chosen because ne drafted the plan upon which President Roosevelt's imitation pro- gram is based. His cold, clipped words seemed almost to shock some of his colleagues as the sen- ate began debate on the unpreced- of questions.
 Vice-President Garner recogniz- ed Thomas at 12:14 D m. and the gray haired Oklahoman began his explanation of the administration imitation plan. He took up the provisions of the bill one by one. Republicans did not appear greatly interested. Most of them left the chamber after the quorum call.
 "This amendment in my judg- ment is the most important pro- position that has ever come before the American congress or any par liament in the world" Thomas said.
 If this amendment prevails 1t may transfer from one class in the United States value to the extent of almost $20O,000,0 0,000,000 it will be transferred first from those who have bank deposits and second from those who hold bonds.
 "In their hands rest $200,000,- 000,000 of bank deposits. They did not earn it."
 "If this power is exercised in a reasonable degree it must trans CT that $200,000, 0,000,000 from the hands of those who did not earn it, did not buy it, who do not de- serve it back in the hands of the debtor classes.
 Saving only the World war ous thing before the world in G. | 900 years" Thomas continued. My purpose" Thomas replied, lis to raise commodity prices so people can live"
 IlC dCtlil tu llloL CNCI WltiL SAAN | transfer of wealth, full and fair justice will not have been done to the people of the United States. '"
 There are four provisions in the imitation plan pending in the sen ate to-day as a rider to the ad- ministration's omnibus farm relief and mortgage refinancing bill. 1. Authority for the president ] to arrange for the Federal Re serve to purchase ,000,000,000 of government obligations to expand credit and federal reserve curren- | cy.
 9. Authority for the president to authorize the issue of $3,000.- | 000,000 additional currency in the form of United States notes. | 3. Authority for maximum re- ductlon of 50 per cent in the gold | content of the dollar.
 4. Authority for the president to accetp a maximum of $100.000.- 900 in silver in partial payment of ] European war debts.
 The bill bristlcs with authority. All of it is conferred on Mir Roosevelt. No provision of the imitation amendment is mandatory -the president may put 1t into op- ] eration or he may not, as he | chooses.

 been claimed by some that the governor might reappoint Tax Commissioner Blodgett and Motor Vehicles Commissioner Robbins B. Stoeckel, both republicans. Other reports have been that the two jobs would be split between the two parties, with Stoeckel remain ing.
 Democrats are now demanding that the governor send in two democrats for nomination to the senate. Some of those close to the governor assert that he has not yet determined his policy and that re- appointment of the present incum- bents is not impossible
 No others are mentioned for Blodgett's post aside fnom Senator Hackett. For Blodgett's job those mentioned are Colonel Michael Connor of Hartford, Major Harold B. Pinney of Stafford and Director of Public Works John Golden of New Haven. The name of Dr Arthur F. O'Leary of this city has also been submitted to the gover- nor with many supporting recom- mendations.
 The republicans, however, hope to hold the posts of motor vehicle commissioner and state tax com missioner by giving the democrats the posts commissioners of agri- culture, dairy and food and dom- estic animals as well as appoint ment of a member of the board of fiance and control in the place of ex-Senator Fuller s. Barnes of Bristol. No decision has yet been reached on the question of Re- vision Commissioner Frederick A. Scott.

New Commissioners
Uncertainty Ended

President Roosevelt has at last ended the uncertainty which
has been felt about appointment of the civilian District
Commissioners almost since he took office March 4.
The President has chosen for the positions Melvin Hazen
for many years District and George Allen widely
known in hotel circles of the city.
As was be expected and perfectly normal in
city with the diversified interests Washington ap-
po1ntments bring forth both criticism and approval
During the long months that the selections have been in
abeyance factions behind than of
candidates for the positions
All but two of these factions suffering dis
appointment for each thought that his best qualified
and had the likely chance Of obtaining the plum
Mr.. Hazen Mr. Allen will find that Commissioners
their jobs and the which they will in them will
depend upon their efforts upon their conception of
the duties which fall upon them.
The city has had many Commissioners since the present
form of government established Some Of them have
been brilliant office others have left the District Building
virtual nonenties Only have left the office
under cloud.
Mr. Hazen through his long service the District govern
brings the Commssonership qualifications which
would augur we'll for his administration
He has intimate knowledge of the complicated of
government in the city and of the relationship local
government with the National Government
He knows the people of the city thoroughly and knows
what they in the matter of government how far
under existing laws it possible to give them what they
want.
Mr. Allen is not so we'll known to Washingtonians and
presumably is less intimately acquainted with District
government and the wishes of the people of the city
There have been Others however who have entered upon
the Commssonershp with less knowledge of the city
and have still been able the affection of
people.
Certainly neither these two any two men who
might have been selected give the city superior
istraon factions and groups to keep alive
the pickering and fighting which have marked the
campaigns for appointment.
This does not that the Commissioners
above criticism in fact, there every believe that
they will welcome criticism and accept if it is made in
good faith and with the honest desire advance the
Of the city a whole
Washington is faced with many and difficult prob
lens which call for solution this winter.
It will be the job Of the Commissioners to interpret
to the Congress the wishes of the people of the city these
problems and to endeavor to induce Congress
cordance with the welfare of the citys population
This is probably the most trying angle of the job of
Commissioner It is upon which it is easy stumble
We shall watch with eager interest the in which
the new Commissioners qualify for their positions.

Building Boys Clubs
Why Not Use Schools?

group of public spirited citizens has asked the District
Commissioners urge the Public Works Administration to
alot approximately $35ooo for the construction of two
buildings for boys clubs in the city.
That is praseworthy objective and with which most
Of our residents will be found in hearty accord
Greater benefit could be given the children of the city, both
boys and girls however, efforts made to establish
clubs for them in the school buildings which already
been constructed.
Nearly every school house in the city has gymnasium,
library, other which could be used salts
facoriy for clubhouse purposes by children of the
munity in which the school is located
Little made of these after classes
dismissed in the early afternoon.
BY establishing these clubs in the school buildings children
would not have to travel great distances receive the benefits
which would obviously result from club program.
While the objective Of building boys clubs is most praise
worthy quicker action could be obtained by utilizing
facilities already paid for and available
