own plants with the use of Ameri-
can labor and dOmestically grown
tomatoes.
81 do not know what may be the
program of the administration i'm re-
spect to finding American markets
for foreign products as means OF
pushing sales abroad. In effectinG
reciprocal trade arrangements. the
President would. of course, have
pretty much tn give the foreign gov
eTnments what they want in the way
Of tariff concessions if they are to
meet his views and find places for
our goods.
Apparently. however. Congress is
not to be given an opportunity to
pass on these trades, and am afraid
there will be such pressure on the
President in negotiating the sug
gested pact with Italy that canned
tomatoes aud tomato paste will be
among the articles involved in the
trade swapping.
Il doubt if Italy would buy very
much from us. even if we provided
markets for her goods in the United
States. Her principal imports have
been fish sugar. wheat. tobacco.
fats. cotton. copper. machinery, coal.
oil and paraffin wax.
Unless il is definitely stated in
the proposed tariff legislation that
nothing will be done to upset our
canned goods industry there is no
assurance but that the administra-
tiOn will acquiesCe in the demands
of the Italian government. That
would mean the throwing out of en-
plOyment Of additional workers in
Delaware and lessen the extent Of
the farmers market for tomatoes
for canning"

hardship if some plan is devised
now to avert the threatened deficit.
He advised against a sales tax or a
tax ON real estate.
( Senator GriffenbeTg then revealed
his proposed plan for a holiday in
road building so that the gasoline
tax could ne used for relief pur-
poses. Senator Keith admitted the
proposal had merit.
Griffenberg Explains Plan
Senator Gutenberg pointed out
there arc sufficient funds on hand
to take care of the present commit
ments in connection with the road
building program. Later. in detail
ing his suggestion. Senator Griffen-
berg said he believed the building
holiday should also he extended to
the public schools so the money now
being used tor their construction
could be used for relief, He said he
favored cutting direct relief 80 per
cent below its present figure. He
explained he favored a small insti-
tutiOnal building program where II
was necessary and voiced his OppO-
sition to additional taxation.
Senator Latchum said that during
all the argument no one had sug-
gestcd a reduction in salaries or ex-
penses and he proposed salary cuts
i'm State offices to balance the bud
get and help the general fund. He
said the Governors salary has been
increased since he has been MEM
her of the Senate and that the State
Auditor has been given an increase
i'm pay. He said he understood the
State Treasurer had refused to ac-
cept an increase in his salary.
Is it not fact that the Governor
has taken cut and that it has been
effective for two years." asked Sen
atOr Griffenberg. Senator Latchum
admitted that this was correct.
What does 10 per cent cut mean
when your salary has been raised?'
asked Senator Latchum. Senator
GriffenbcrG said the salary cut for
five individuals would not take care
of the deficit. but Senator lAtchum
replied II would take care Of the pay
of the Senate attaches.
Declared Revenues Sufficient
Senator Grifenberg explained the
States revenues are sufficient. II
properly apportioned to take care of
all its needs. and he thought the
members should devote themselves
to the task of seeing that il is prop
erly apportioned. rather than to the
consideration of additional taxes.
Senator Keith asked why Senator
had not voiced his pro
posal before this. II haven't been !
sitting here playing with my fling
ers" replied Senator GriffenberC. "I
have been sitting here thinking of
plans for relief and to meet the |
financial situation ! think it would |
have been inadvisahle for me to have |
presented my plans J am convinced
that anything introduced by the ma |
jority side of this Senate will have

get one nice useful and prac-
tical gift for the bride.
Is it proper to ask the girls
to do this, and if it is, what
wording shall I use to let them
know? Shall enclose a sep
arate note with each invita-
ton? I'd like it worded so
that I would receive a reply
from each girl.
I think that your plan for
these contributions seems a bit
too sensible" to perhaps be in
good taste.
You see there is always a
certain reaction against having
a shower given by such a close
relative of the bride-to-be, and
when, added to this, the aunt
plans the giving of the gift so
practically as to ask for def
mite contributions of money,
her plan just might be mis-
interpreted. Think about this,
and consider whether it per-
haps might be more delicate to
allow the guests to bring what
ever gifts they choose.
If you don't agree with my
point Of view, your letter to
the guests-to-be might be word
ed like this:

In 1881 congress authorized vet

Preliminary congressional dis

government waive interest on the
loans obtained in 1881; that GER

on relief rolls; and any others

that veterans be given now the

them down fractions to nearly
points today and unsettled the en-

to points. Volume was slightly
better than yesterday.
Utility selling began at the open
ing and continued to the close.
Consolidated Gas was the most
active issue. 1t broke to 20%, a
new low and off IL points net.
Public Service touched 26la off "a

New York City Utilities were the
center of the adverse news, which
included apparent government ac-
quiescence in a plan to furnish the
city PWA funds to build a power
plant to furnish the city with its
own electricity.
The Dow Jones utility average
came within a fraction of touching
its 1884 low.
Communication shares were down
with the utilities. American Tele-
xpbone lost nearly two points on
fear the federal communications
commission would eventually order
lower rates for the telephone COM
pany.
Steel shares were down a point
or so on outlook for a letdown in
the rate of steel operations short

their own. Railroad issues sold Off
