The tariff bill was passed de-
spite continual barrage from the
Republicans, and only after adj
miniStration leaders had painted
in rosiest hues the flow of trade it
would start from these shores.
These treaties we're to be pushed
through Immediately, in order to
cope with cut-throat competition
from other nations. 1t was an
emergency situation, and a glow
ing picture was painted of the re-
suits to be accomplished during
the summer.
The summer is nearly over. Al
most three months have elapsed
since the heralded tariff bill was
passed.
During that period only one
treaty with Cuba, has been signed
under the new bill. The Cuban
treaty was begun one year ago,
was almost completed before con-
gress voted emergency tariff
powers.

K fold:
l. There is a split within the adj
ministration on tariff matters.
2. There is no driving force
within the state department to

3. In some cases it is feared tina

congressional election may react
against the administration in No

This is definitely the case with
Argentina. Its commodities are

the midwest farm belt. and an
Argentine treaty is considered
political dynamite at present.
But with most countries. the
issue goes far deeper. 1t results
in part from long-smouldering
feuds within the New Deal. One
feud is between Professor Moley
and Cordell Hull. Another is be-
tween Hull and George Peek.
So far Corden Hull has not been

Tariff treaties were one of his

BRITISH NAVAL CHIEFS CONFER
ANXIOUS FOR FAR EAST SAFETY

marked that the parley comedies
with recurrent threats recently
among the powers for a new world
naval building race. which MANY
expect to begin when the present
naval accords come up for revision
at the 1885 projected naval con-
ference.
Recent events in the Pacific,
British naval men said, are shap-
ing up the way they were in 1921
21. when the Washington confer
ence was called and in 1922 tenn
porarily halted the growing naval
rivalry between the United States
and Japan. In the recent big
navy programs adopted by these
nations, however. the British see
signs of rivalry revival in the
Pacific.
This development is felt to be
doubly important in view of two
major questions facing Britain.
The first is admittedly the increas-
ingly serious commercial struggle
between Great Britain and Japan,
which has tended to undermine
the spirit of the old Anglo-Japa-
nese alliance. -,
The second is the 1885 world
naval conference. in which Japan
has announced officially her in
tention to demand naval parity
with Britain and America.

traitor. This is the information he
is giving to the large number of
people who are endeavoring tn
start new projects and make opeI-
ings for more men and women de-
spite orders received last week to
place no new workers and to put
those on the present projects on
a half-time basis.
Mr.. Hollowell said that the big
gest task now before his organiza-
ton was the purging of the work
rolls. Notice was attached to all
checks that went out last Satur-
day to the effect that all who were
not in actual need Of the CWA
work for the purpose of providing
food, raiment and shelter to resign
in favor of those who are without
these things and have no way OF
providing them except as the gov
eminent offers help. Mr.. Hollo-
we'll said designations were limited
but that complaints continue to
come in by mail and by those who
present them personally.
Mr.. Hollowell said that he did
not want to get any person in bad
favor with his neighbor and there
fore was asking for unsigned let
tiers from anyone who knew of
people who were working on CWA
projects and did not actually need
the help. He said that those who
were able to provide necessities
otherwise were not expected to
receive positions under the CWA,
which is purely a charitable or
relief proposition. which many
people, he said, did not seem to
understand. 1t was not intended
for the enterprising fellow or the
politician as has been charged.
Mr.. Hollowell is inviting infor-
nation about those where there
are two in one family on any
form of CWA work. or any Of
those who could easily get along
without this work. Upon receipt
of this information Investigations
will be made and those who do
not voluntarily resign will neces-
sarily have to be dismissed from
the payroll after the advisory
board passes upon the informa.
ton. This ruling, Mr.. Hollowell
said. did not apply to those ap-
pointed in a supervisory capacity.
The leaders in the CWA and re.
lief program have been appointed
mainly on the basis of capacity,
rather than need, and this should
be borne in mind when complaints
are made.
