Charleston Diction
 Is Easy on Britons

CHARLESTON, s. O., May 18. -Englishmen find the speech of Charlestonians easier to under stand than any other in America.
 At least that was the experience of Commander w. F. ake-Walk- CT and the crew of the British cruiser Dragon which touched here on a goodwill visit.
 Commander Wake Walker told callers aboard ship that he has vis- tied many ports in the United States but nowhere outside of British possessions did he find people who talk like the residents of Charleston.
 His officers and men concurred, saying Charleston diction made them feel at home.

SECRETARY OF STATE IS NEAR
 ONE AMBITION
Enactment of Re clip rocal Tariff Le gisla ton Will
 Grown Life Work of Hull
By HERBERT HUMMER


 WASHINGTON, May 18.-After something like quarter of a century of battling in Congress, Cordell Hull of Tennessee is about to realize an ambition of a life time.
 If Congress grants President Roosevelt's request for authority to negotiate reciprocal trade agree rnents with other countries it will be the tall, gaunt Secretary of State who will play the major role in actual negotiations.
 The House already has given it's approval to the Presidents re- quest, and while stiff and pro- longed opposition is expected in the Senate final approval by that body is regarded as practically cer- tain.
 Hull's p years of service in the house and part of a term in the senate were marked by his unflag- ging zeal in opposing high tariffs. A member of the House Ways and Means Committee-the congress- ional groups charged with framing all tariff legislation-he is a recog- nized student and expert on the question.

INTERNATIONAL
 SILVER C0NFAB
 APPARENT NOW
Administrations Stand on White Metal Causes New
 Action-China Involved

WASHINGTON, May Is. A speedy International silver talk is likely to follow the formal launch ing of the Administration silver plan as the President held his special white metal message ready for quick dispatch.
 It became known here today that the Far Eastern silver. situation is already subject for informal trans Pacific discussions.
 Prof. J. H. Rogers, President Roosevelt's silver emissary, delivered preliminary reports on the silver situation in the Far East.
 Some officials close to the Presi- dent have suggested that care be taken lest the projected silver pro- gram will upset China financially
 Treasury experts believe that too high a boost in the price of silver might break China, which with h. dia, constitutes the worlds biggest storehouse of silver.

Conferences Being Held in San Francisco-Some
 Disorders Reported

Confidence that the Seattle ship ping tieup would be broken soon and differences submitted to arbi- tration was expressed today in a radiogram received by Gov. John w. Troy from Gov. Clarence D. Martin of Washington State. The motorship Tupper, tied up yester- day, is being loaded for Kuskokwim River valley points, and arrange ments are being made for loading other ships, Gov Martin said.
 Gov. Martin is in communication with Seattle union labor leaders and said he was hopeful of suc- cess" He added, T am confident of early settlement by arbitration and restoration of operations pend- ing negotiations"
 Emphasizes Alaska Emergency Yesterday Gov. Troy sent a mes- sage to the Chief Executive of Washington State in which he stressed the importance of exempt ing Alaska shipping from the gen. eral strike situation He urged the importance of freeing all Alaska shipping in order to prevent an industrial and economic breakdown in the Territory.
 Gov. Martin replied as follows:
 With the cooperation of labor leaders and certain operators, I am doing my utmost to settle the strike by arbitration, and am giv- ing special emphasis to the Alas kan emergency I made efforts i, early today for loading the Tupper and since your telegram have talk ed with Dave Beck (Seattle labor leader,) and he assured similar efforts toward loading the Holmes and LeMerced.
 T am hopeful of success. Am confident of early settlement by arbitration and restoration of op- erations pending negotiations. Please expect my cooperation every where possible
 Has Brighter Outlook
 Gov. Martins message puts a brighter outlook on the strike situation, Gov. Troy said. His confidence in an early settlement is undoubtedly based on concrete developments He is not one who is inclined to be over-optimistic, rather, he is conservative. His ex- pectations of adjustment are very re-assuring," the Governor said
 A telegram received by Nick Beg from Starr Calvert of the San Juan fisheries interests took the same roseate view. It, in fact, said that it was possible that basis for settlement would be reached today.
 Appeals Pour In
 In the meantime, Gov. Troy was besieged with telegraphic appeals for assistance. The etchikan Chamber of Commerce wired re- garding consignment of fresh fish shipped south on the steamer AL aska destined to Chicago. The strikers refused to permit it's dis charge yesterday in Seattle. Gov. Troy today asked Gov. Mar tin to use his efforts to obtain its unloading, saying that it's loss would react severely upon the com munity of Ketchikan and fisher men of that region.
 A telegram from D. w. Branch, Northwest Manager for Libby Me- Neill and Libby said the tieup of cannery vessels might stop canning operations in Bristol Bay. The company's ships should have been loaded out for that area week ago. He asked the Governor to press for an exemption for Alaska shipping.

BELL TO LEAVE
 FOR ALASKA IN
 ABOUT 30 DAYS
Wingard Here from South
 Expects Secretary of Commerce to Make Trip

Frank T. Bell, United States Con- missioner of Fisheries, will leave Seattle June 18, for his annual visit to Alaska, it was announced today by L. G. Wingard, Alaska Agent of the Bureau of Fisheries, who arrived here yesterday on a patrol speedboat commanded by William NeWcomb. He was accom- panied by Warden Fred Lucas in charge of Bristol Bay fisheries.
 It is understood that Secretary Daniel s. Roper of the Department of Commerce will make the trip with Commissioner Bell. What oth- CTS will be in the party, MT. Win gard was not certain, although it has been reported Senators Joseph T. Robinson, Arkansas, and c. C.. Dill, Washington, will also make the trip.
 Unusual activity is indicated in the Alaska salmon fishery this sea- son, MT. Wingard said. There will be a large amount of gear in the water, and most of the canneries will be operated. Alaska seiners are expected to be unusually busy.
 Enroute North, MT. Wingard vis- tied Ketchikan, Wrangell and Pet ersburg. He talked with trollers, just beginning operations, and oth- CT classes of fishermen regarding the regulations and plans for the season. He will remain here some time, going to Bristol Bay by plane if time permits.

. COLLEAGUES IRAN AWAY"

He admits he was so immersed in the subject while a member of Congress that his colleagues ran away whenever they saw me com- ing because I bored them with my strictures on the unholy evils of a high tariff policy"
 Now he is near the point where he will be able to put into prac- tice some of the philosophies and doctrines for which he has cru saded so long.
 When MT. Roosevelt called Hull from the Senate to become Dean of his Cabinet, it was believed gen. erally at the time that the Tennes- scans knowledge and background on the tariff question had much to do with the Presidents choice of him for this post.
 Reciprocal trade agreements with foreign countries were known to figure largely in the Roosevelt tar if philosophy.

Talks by Tug,veH and Shell Are Held to Be s'Keynotes''
 in Coming Fall Campaign
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington


 Two addresses delivered at Washington within the space of 0 few days are widely heralded as "keynotes" to the coming congress- ional campaign.
 For more than one reason, they will bear the most painstaking ex- animation by the curious.
 Said Rexford G. Tugwell, pre- mier idea-man of the administra- ton:
 s'It is my conception of the new deal that it shall {. restore to men the freedom they have earned"
 Said Bertrand Shell, Republican leader of the House.
 "The political philosophy of this administration is that nothing must be left to the individual cit- izen."
 Certainly, if words could be relied upon to express exact meanings. here would be as clear-cut an issue as anyone might desire.
 Both Dr. Tugwell and MT. Shell want liberty, and every voter sim ply can balance up his affairs and decide for himself whether he has more or less liberty than he had before March 4, 1933
 Unfortunately there is catch in it. It lies in the age-old disagree ment as to what liberty really is. BOTH AGAINST ACCOMPANYING
 Both also are against regimenta- tiOn. But the Administration spokesman means the regimenting of men under the old industrial system; the anti-administratio spokesman means the regimenting of men under government.
 So there you are. It is that kind of campaign, so far. Every body is for freedom, against dic- tatorship. As for campaign slogans, it would seem the two party or ganizations might feasibly save money by having their banners and labels turned out in one job lot.
 But what about the voters?
 What are they going to make out of it when they have to consider not only the words of the cam paign orators, but the hidden meanings which may lie behind them?
 How many will take the trouble to run down the necessary formu- lac in economic reference works, or submit to chemical analysis the outgivings from the musings?
 It requires no prophet to foresee that both sides will be compelled to get down to cases 2 little more directly before much campaign en- thusiasm can be stirred up among the populace.
 TALKING AGAINST TIME?
 It is not impossible that both sides realize this, and simply are
