6. D. P. ATTACK
ON TARIFF BILL

The desperate Republican at.
tack on President Roosevelt's re.
ciprocal tariff bill turned today
in the Senate to forcing adoption
Of the johnson Amendment. ex'
empting all agricultural products
from the proposed tariff-Slashing
powers.
The President would be limited
by the amendment to making
trade agreements, with the United
States conceding only tariff re-
ductionS on manufactured pro-
ducts. The amendment, drawn
by Senator Johnson (RO Of Cal.
ifornia, was designed to protect
American farmers from compet-
ing with the agriculture output of
Russia and South American coun-
tries.
A limitation of debate, begin.
ming Wednesday, insured final
vote on the bill by the end Of next
week. This was the earliest
moment the Republicans would
agree to placing a limit on their
oratory against the bill.
The Columbian Treaty, still
held secret by the State Depart
ment, remained a bone of con-
tention. Democratic and Repub-
lican leaders clashed over its con-
tents, with the latter demanding
that the State Department make
it public.
Democrats claimed the treaty
provided only that the United
States would pledge itself against
placing any tariff duty on coffee,
with the Colombian government
in turn agreeing to import larger
quantities of agricultural products
from A m e ica. Republicans
charged it provided for a reduc.
ton Of the American tariffs on
oil and cattle hides in return for
a larger market for American
farm products in Colombia.
Democrats leaders meanwhile
admitted the State Department
was seeking to negotiate a similar
trade treaty with "a larger govern
ment" than that Of Colombia.
Senator Harrison, CD, Mississippi,
said these negotiations might be
complicated if the Columbian
treaty were made public now.

They stole outside, down
through thin grove Of trees to
the waters edge. The lake was
quiet. It swept on in vast,
pale glimmer from edge to dis
tant edge of the towering, far
girding mountains. The moon,
trailing clouds of jade swept
over the wild black peaks.
"It'S been lonely week, Pip
pin"
She looked at the light NOV

She answered absently: Eyes

"You thought so too?"
He had his arm about her and
now drew her close.
Don't worry. I won't trouble
you. I can keep to myself. You
see that. It's not so pleasant!
Pippin, it won't hurt you if I
love you a little. Now and then.
Just a little. You don't mind if
I kiss you-please. Just once?"
She glanced up, felt, rather
than saw the dark demand in
his eyes. She stood motionless,
a tumult in her heart. He kissed
her.
He held her in his arms and
poured ardent words against her
lips.
II wish you'd give me a little
hope. I could easily wait a year,
then. I've never loved anyone
before-like this. I'd like to take
you right now. wish I could!
I didn't know I'd been lonely so
long. I have been. Pippin tell
me that you care a little! You
like to be here in my arms?"
His words made a swift warm
river down which she floated in
a strangely sweet, half-fright-
ened dream.
ThrobS Of Joy
She said: II don't know. Let

less to move, while in every
sense went a little tnrob of joy.
She sat a long while in her
tiny dressing room that night.
She thought with flushed, un-
easy excitement: II don't love
him. It's not love!"
She would not kiss him again.

But as soon as she was with

She sank down happily when

CANNON LASHES
AMBASSADORS
AS USELESS
BY International News Service


Rep. Raymond J. Cannon, mill
tant Wisconsin Democrat, who
is out to take sham out of the
Government, today was engaged
in a campaign against American
Ambassadors.
They are, in Mr.. Cannon's
opinion, the most expensive "er-
rand boys" in the world.
In these days Of telephone and
radio communication, Mr.. Cannon
said, an ambassador living in a
million.dollar home might we'll
wear the uniform of a telegraph
messenger. Policies, he says, are
decided in Washington.
Mr.. Cannon already has offered
two measures which would inSti-
tute a drastic reorganization of
the American Foreign Service.
One calls for an inquiry by Con-
gress with a view to aboliShing
the posts held by Ambassadors
and Ministers. The other limits
the cost of constructing or pur-
chasing an American Embassy to
$3.50 900, with $4,000 allowed for
furnishings. He asserted:
"This would prevent the
wanton waste Of the taxpayers
money as was evidenced in the
million dollar embassy at Ber-
lin."
Despite his vehement arraign.
ment of the ranking members OF
the Diplomatic Corps, Mr.. Cannon
praised the work Of the Consular
Service. He said:
1--WE find no headline hunters
or SnObS in this class. Unlike
some of the stuffed shirts Serv-
ing as our leading representa-
tives abroad, these people are
respected in the countries they
are stationed. They hold their
positions by virtue Of their
ability"
On many occasions, he charged.
American Ambassadors betrayed
their own country to gain the ap-
plause of foreigners at public ban
quets and diplomatic dinners. He
added:
"It is obvious that the func-
tiOns of our Ambassadors are
not only useless, but also . tre-
mendOus needless expense"

You don't want me out Of your
life. Pippin?"
Il don't know what I want.
Just to sit here. It's enough"
He stopped down until he
could see the white, delicate
oval of her face.
'It's more than enough. I
could spend the rest of my life
holding you-kissing you On
a night like this I could blot
away the world"
She gave a soft, vague laugh
and moved from MIN, but her
heart was on fire.
One day they decided on an
overnight trip. Kate Stone and
Blanche Woodman were hiking
to Fallen Leaf Lake. They were
camping there. They asked
Dale, who was a good woodsman
and Pippin to go with them.
They got their supplies ready.
They were greatly excited. They
planned to start about 10 in the
morning.
All Night
At nine, Pippin saw Dale COM
ing up the trail from their pier.
She went down to meet him.
whats the matter?"
"I've just driven over to the
store. I met Kate there. She
was buying adhesive tape. Her
friend has sprained her ankle"
'"The trip is off," Pippin
asked in a blank, crushed tone.
Blanche can't walk five or
seven miles over a hard trail
with a twisted foot"
He came up and took Pippin'S
hand.
why can't we go alone, Pip
pin?"
She turned white.
He went on: I'VE can make
it there and back before dark"
"Oh no! We never could"
you're a good hiker! Pippin,
you pass some of the loveliest
spots on that trail. There's go
ing to be a full moon-a great
golden moon. We've only 10
days more"
TITS too far, Dale. We'd have
to start about five in the morn.
ing if we want to get there and
back in one day."
1--WE can do it. What If 1t does
get a little dark"
He stood very close and now
drew her to him.
please come, Pippin. Well
have a glorious time"
Her heart went quick and
faint: do you really think we
can do it?"
I'VE can! I know we can!"
She looked at him with parted
lips and wide, brilliant eyes.
"All right-I1l get ready. I'll
meet you in the trees above your
cabin"
He leaned down quickly and
kissed her.
"I'll wait there. Make it in
an hour"

thought your mother would like
it. Let's take it over"
AS they swung along, he said
with a deep, humming laugh,
teasing her: 80 you're glad
I've returned?"
She nodded but did not look
at him, feeling too poignantly
the excitement of his presence
and the warm, trembling stir
along her nerves.
There followed a week when
Pippin alternately fumed against
Dale and longed for him. He
gave her such random attention.
They went on hikes. He swung
along with Kate as gaily as with
Pippin.
He made pictures Of Dadee's
girl and said what a cute trick
she was.
$50 paintable with that dark,
vivid color and sharp, piquant
features"
!"Are you using her for your
11luSCraClOnS?
He answered carelessly as
though not aware of the tight
little voice in which Pippin
spoke.
"She wants me to. She's a
gypsy in heart as we'll as looks
Irene flirted with Dale. She
climbed to a great bowlder and
said: Can you sketch me here?
No? Then come and lift me
down."
Dale thought she was cute!
Pippin blazed.
They all drove into Tahoe one
Saturday night for a dance.
It was the first dance to which
Pippin had gone all summer
long: her first dance in four
months. She felt happy and
didn't mind that the floor was
gritty and the music poor.
Neither did Dale.
Lonely Days
He pulled her to him. His
black eyes winked and he sang
softly, challenging: "Ho hum,
feeling like a feather. Ho hum,,
we're together!"
With her eyes half closed and
her thoughts lulled. Pippin lis
tened to the rich, wooing voice.
Its almost too good to be
true, Pippin."
What is?"
"This night, the moon outside,
trees near the water-You!"
1T sounds like poetry, Dale.a

G.O.P.|N HOUSE
PLANSF|GHT0 ON
SILVER BILL
BY WILLIAM s. NEAL
International News Service staff
Correspondent

A Republican fight on the Presi.
dents silver program loomed in
the House today.
Despite potential opposition,
Chairman Doughton Cd, North
Carolina, Of the Ways and Means
Committee, announced he ex.
pected passage of the measure in
the House next week.
Chargs that the Ways and
Means Committee was seeking to
railroad" the bill through with
out consideration were made by
Republican members.
In an effort to present opposi-
ton to the measure, Representa-
tive Treadway (RJ, MaSSachu-
sets, obtained consent of the COM
mittee to invite Prof. E. w. KEN
merer, of Princeton University,
monetary authority, to testify.
Republicans Caustic
Republican members hurled
caustic comments at the bill,
which gives the President power
to make the nations monetary
stock rs per cent gold and Is per
cent silver.
Representative Knutson (R),
Minnesota, said:
"The reason for this legisla-
tion is that we do not have
enough gold in proportion to our
Indebtedness, private and public.
At the rate we are piling up ad-
ditiOnal debts how long will it
be before we are forced on o
pewter baSis?"
Chairman Doughton declared
the policy of the legislation was
not debatable question. He said:
"ThiS is an Administration bill
and I expect it to be reported
to the House today"
The committee had failed to get
from Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau or Herman Oliphant,
general counsel for the Treasury,
a statement as to how much sill.
yer will be purchased under the
bill.
Huge Silver Purchase
Mr.. Oliphant said it would ne
cesSitate purchase of 1900, ,000, 900
ounces Of silver to reach the ratio
provided in the bill. Evidence in
the hands of the Treasury, how.
ever. indicates a free silver supply
Of about 850,OO0, 900 ounces.
The nations monetary stock
was given to the House committee
as $7,755, BAT .568 of gold and $780,

now is far below the Is per cent

Major Fordney has already been

Auto Production Gains
But during the holiday season busi-
ness improved greatly. A Bay City
paper showed by survey that there
was more money there ut Christmas
time than there had been In Decem-
Der, 1929.
And 1884 auto production Is getting
in swing. Detroit and Michigan are
geared up to make and sell more au-
los than for several years.
This years 1000, 900 cars was nearly
twice the production Of 1882. And be-
cause nearly half the autos in the
country are five years old or older,
Detroit hopes for q far bigger year
in 1884. It would be none too soon.
