Hartman LAUDS
ENGLISH REFORMS
New Deal in America Old
to Great Britain, he
Says.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TORONTO, March 27.-Henry I.
Hartman, president of the United
States Chamber of Commerce, told
the Canadian Club yesterday that, ''in
an orderly way and throughout the
years" Great Britain has been carry
ing out the reforms now advanced in
the United States in the national
recovery act.
Hartman reviewed industrial re-
covery in the United States with spe-
cial reference to cooperation between
his country and Canada and at one
point expressed the regret of the
American business men that "a sub
stantial proportion" of the effect on
trade between Canada and foreign
countries caused by imperial agree
ments seemed to have fallen on Ca
madam United States commercial ex-
changes.
He said he had heard people refer
to the distinct upturn in Great Brit
ain, manifest for the last two years.
AS an evidence that present policies
in the United States were unneces-
sary. that restoration of business
would come without an elaborate re-
covery program.
No Farm Surpluses.
Certain basic facts differentiated
conditions in the two countries, how
ever, and in the last analysis" Great
Britain had been carrying out "the
reforms the present economic crisis
forced suddenly on U.s."
I1n ~
importing country for foodstuffs, had
no problem of agricultural surpluses,
she had mo burden of prohibition,
with its accompanying creation of
crime Syndicates," no drastic anti
trust laws were enforced there and
therefore it was possible for England's
induStrialists to agree reasonably to
restricted productions at fair prices.
In England, he pointed out, sound
central banking system was created
many years ago and there, likewise,
the unemployment problem was antic-
ipated and prepared for Through
levying heavy taxes, he said, she had
wisely refrained" from taxing capital
gains or granting reductions for cap
ital losses, thus contributing to the
free flow of capital and, finally, she
had gone off the gold standard and
accepted the principle of managed
currency three years ago."
Old to England.
Thus" said Hartman, I'VE see
that many essential elements Of what
we sometimes call the new deal in
America are very old deal in Great
Britain"
Turning specifically to the trade
= between Canada and the United
States, he said:
Our exports to Canada fell 1928
per cent at time when our exports
as whole were climbing per cent.
Our imports from Canada showed an
increase of 6.3 per cent, whereas our
imports from the world as whole
were increasing at the rate of 96 per
cent"

In a letter the governor shows

The governor sets forth there
is no authority given the chief
executive of the state under the
law to make any extension of he
time in which to pay taxes.
Funds Badly Needed
In view of the fact" writ
Governor Sholtz, "that we hay
had remarkably good season

tons" he has TO inclination t

Two- Year Nap ONO. 534 Broken At Last
Life Breahed Into Btas Mystery Ship By Government
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
By OSCAR LEIDING
tIBy Associated I'rcsS)

CLYDEBANK, Glasgow, March
pa wave of the British gov
ernment's wand-warranted sterl-
ing-and the giant bulk Of No.
534 is to come to life after two
year nap.
No. 534 is the 73,00O-ton lux
ury liner with which Britain hopes
to win back the blue ribbon of
the Atlantic and nail her red en-
sign to the top of the mast of the
worlds mercantile marine.
A lonesome, half-finished hulk
on the Clyde since her workmen
packed their tools in the closing
days of 1881, she is to be COM
pleted with government financial
aid, provided the Cunard and
White Star companies's merger
goes through.
On the strength of this merger,
the British treasury would pro-
vide 100000 towards compile
ton of the ship and $4,000 900
for the working capital of the
merger company.
May Have Sister Ship
No. 534 was started by the
Cunard company as the first of
two huge ships projected for
fortnightly service between New
York and Europe. If, after her
completion, it is decided to go
ahead with the sister ship, the
treasury will advance up to $780,
100000 for that purpose.
No. 534, as she will be known
until named on launchign. is ex-
ceeded in size only by the $4,000
ton French liner, Normandie,
which is under construction. Her
estimated cost is $3O,OOO,OOO.
Her length, LOIS feet, is such
that if upended on her sharp bow
she would tower % feet over the
Eiffel Tower in Paris and would
measure just II feet shorter than
New York's Chrysler building.
Her bulk jealousy guarded be-
hind high shipyard walls and her
plans unpublished except in gem
eral, No. 534 will remain a mys-
terry ship for some time.
But this much is knOwn-that
she has been designed for an aver
age speed of 81 knots, five knots
more than the German crack liner
Bremen-the British talking point
for a new record on the maiden
trip.
She will carry more than 1000
passengers in accommodation
ranging from the richest suites
to small cabins. She will have
IL decks, one of the promenade
decks being more than twice the
length of the facade of Bucking-
ham Palace.
There will be three tunnels. the
first of which will be more than
40 feet in height and the other
two decreasing. the motive of this
innovation being to keep the
decks and ventilators free from
funnel gases.
The signal. for 1000 workmen
to start the job of completion
will mean later employment. di-
rect and indirect, to more than
10000 persons.
Two months work will be re-
quired to make the ship ready for
launching though it is expected
this event may not take place uni
til the autumn tides are running
in the Clyde river. 1t will take
Is months to complete the ship
after she is afloat.

ONLY One TIDE
RECORDED HERE
DURING FEB. y
HENRY HASKINS EXPLAINS
IRREGULARITIES THAT ARE
AT GREAT VARIANCE IN
MANY PLACES

Quoting sayings of long ago,
Henry B. Haskins. assistant super
intendent Of lighthouses at Key
West, said today that Time and
tide wait for no man. is trite but
true, and yet, tide in Key West
harbor must have waited for some
reason as there was only one tide
on February %.
Whether or not it was in cele-
bration of Washington's birthday,
has not been determined, but on
that date the only tide registered
in the forecast of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey was high tide at
A 80 p. m.
The book of tides published by
the G. and G.. Survey shows four
tides on most days, three tides oc-
casionally and two tides at rare
intervals. But on February %,
just one.
A glance at The Citizen of Feb
ruary 81 shows the tide forecast
for the day following. as furnish
ed by the weather bureau, and
the same oddity is shown. One
tide.
Explains Matter
Asked for an explanation, Mr..
Haskins said the daily irregulari-
ties in tides vary greatly in
amounts at different places, but
there are fixed laws which enabled
them to be predicted with astound-
ing accuracy.
Just as the eclipses of the sun
and moon can be told years ahead.
at the exact spot on the earth's
surface where it will be seen and
the specific time at which the
shadow will start to move across
the face of either of these bodies.
so can the tides be foretold with
the same absolute accuracy as to
time.
Tide variations are caused by
the differences in relative posi-
tions of the sun and moon and by
the channels leading to and the
position of the port OH the earth,
says Mr.. Haskins.
Various Changes
The main daily changes in
tides are caused by the changes
in the relative positions of the
sun and moon. The sun and moon
both attract the waters of the
earth and raise them like an inn
mense wave which follows each of
the bodies.
At time of new moon the sun
and moon are both on the same
side of the earth aud are pulling
in conjunction. At full moon the
sun is on enc side and the moon
on the other so that you have two
sets of tide waves on opposite sides
of the earth approximately Il
hours apart.
At first quarter and last quar-
ter the moon is 30 degrees from
the sun relative. to the earth. when
you have two sets of tide waves
approximately six hours apart.
