throughout the months he has been
preparing for the struggle have a
curious attitude about the legislation
that would give him absolute power
over the tariff They assert that Mr.
Roosevelt under the proposed law,
really would not have one iota more
authority than has been his at any
time in the last year. OF course, the
United States Tariff Commission
would be eliminated as an inter-
mediary in any revision Of existing
duties. But 1t is argued privately the
commission has been little more than
a buffer for the Executive in its oper-
ations under the flexible clause.
That clause authorizes the commits
sion to increase or decrease rates on
articles on the dutiable list up to a
maximum of so per cent as costs Of
production at home and abroad may
dictate, subject to the approval or
disapproval Of the President. The

Drive Fails to Stop
Stowaways in Pacific

HONOLULU, Hawaii.-A deter
mined drive against stowaways on
Pacific liners coming to Honolulu has
thus far failed to stop these unvel-
come passengers. Last year, with
constantly increasing stowaway traf-
fic to deal with, the steamship COM
panies sought and secured legislation
permitting local police and courts to
deal with these offenders and tres
passers and vagrants. But this has
not halted the tide. Almost every
steamer that sails from big Pacific
port for Honolulu is pestered with
them.
A vessel arriving here recently
brought as an unexpected and unwel-
come passenger an aged, wel-edu-
Gated refined looking man who said
he was trying to beat his way to
Japan to interview the japanese EN-
peror. He admitted to an enterpris-
ing reporter that ne was once daily
newspaper reporter and previous to
that the editor of his own weekly in
New Jersey town. But at Honolulu
he was turned over to the waterfront
police and marched of the steamer
on which he had made his way almost
half across the Pacific toward his
destination. Few stowaways actually
get to their goal. Most of them are
unceremoniously Jailed or sent back
to the Pacific Coast.

effort of making the determination
and preparing and invoking the
necessary orders.
Figures Tell Different Stories.
Though they may be perfectly ac-
curate, figures can be made to tell
almost any story. On the walls Of
historic American university are the
words. "Accountancy is tool of
management" Regardless of whether
any Of the commissioners were gradu-
ated from this institution. tariff au-
thorities contend they have proceeded
most of the time on the theory there
set forth. It is said they often have
ascertained in advance what was de-
sired. and then have been accommo-
dating.
Certainly for months past Mr..
Roosevelt has had no reason at all to
question the willingness of the COM
mission to cooperate; its desire has
been to work wholeheartedly with
him. Two motives. it Is now re-
vealed. have actuated them all along.
One has been to give the Executive
Evening star., 1934-03-25

and where to fly, and had to obey,
whether the demands were good op-
Grating practice or not. They had
to keep books according to one Of
the most complicated and nl-adapted
systems ever devised. 1t is small
wonder If they sought to take any
advantage they could.
Indeed, the basic reason for COM
plication may well be that a single
individual, the Postmaster General,
was made practically q ezar of a
great and growing industry. Had his
despotism been more benevolent, his
favors more equitable and his trans
port outlook broader, his subjects, the
air operators. would be happier today.
Most dramatic and most subject to
bitter attack among the aftermaths
of the airmail cancellation are the
deaths among the Army flyers. There.
indeed, is a tragic paragraph in this
chapter Of reforms. Yet, hard as it
is to say and unfair - 1t 10 70 those

may actually have hurt it. BY that !
mean that fat mail pay has too often
been simply a cause of inefficient
operation and an encouragement to
the establishment of routes economi-
cally unwarranted.
Revelation of excessive salaries and
bonuses for insiders in companies
which were supported primarily by
airmail subsidy and which paid no
dividends to their stockholders Is not
pleasant reading. However, the rec
ord, both as regards stock manipu-
lations and the take" of the in
siders, shows up no worse for avia-
ton in the last five years than it
does for, say, banks, steel or motion
pictures.
A Human Failing.
It is only human to accept favors
foisted upon one. The air operators.
it seems to me, were not always to
blame. They were told how. when
