Father of Nine

BALTIMORE, Sept. 27-William
Madkins is certainly one of the
worlds most "forgetful" men. For
he forgot that he had been mar
ried for 81 years and was the
father of nine children.
At least that was his defense
when he appeared in court here
yesterday to answer to a charge
Of bigamy.
Judge George A. Softer found
Madkins guilty and gave him a
suspended sentence of one year in
the house of correction and five
wears on parole.

charge more serious than the
one now against him."
Mr.. Foley then asked Judge
Patterson to fix Hauptmann's bail
at the high figure of 100000. He
added:
"FOr the purpose Of the rec
ord we ask bail in the sum Of
100000 and 1 do not feel this is
unreasonable in view Of our
practice and custom here. do
not feel it is a denial Of the de-
PENDANTS rights" =.
Judge Patterson said:
"This defendant is an alien
and / feel the bail asked by the
District Attorney is reasonable.
1t will therefore be fixed in the
sum Of 100000"
Motion is Denied
The district attorney then said
that, for the purpose Of the record,
it could be noted that he "con-
sented with Defense Attorney
Fawcett that a plea Of not guilty
be entered for the defendant"
A battery of movie photog-
raphers and other camera men,
O. score or more reporters any
many policemen and detectives
were crowded into the courtroom,
huddled close to where the cold
eyed defendant stood.
About 200 spectators sat back
of a railing and damned the
aisles.
After Judge Paterson had fixed
Hauptmann's bail at 100000, At
torney Fawcett made a formal
motion to reduce the bond to
$4,000.
The motion was promptly de-
MED.
Immediately after the arraign-
ment, Hauptmann was taken
back to his cell in the Bronx
county jail. In spite Of all the
discriminating evidence with which
the authorities had confronted
him, he still remained adamant
and a hard prisoner to deal with.
He was as cool and collected as
ever.
After the proceedings news
papermen asked the district &t-
torney what he would do Il
raised the $780, 900
bail. Mr.. Foley replied:
II would Immediately 60 be-
fore the court and ask that the
bail be increased"
NEW SUSPECT TRAHED
The police, meanwhile, were
feverishly active trying to mop
up" the case.
A close friend of Hauptmann-
a man reported to have passed
some of the Lindbergh ransom
money-assumed the role OF a
new suspect.
Intimation that this mans ar
rest might come at any time was
given out. The man is being
constantly Swallowed by the police.
Members of this new suspects
family are also being watched.
Some of the authorities gave con-
sideration to the theory that he
instead of Hauptmann - &C
tually received the $4,000 ram
som from DR.. John F. "Jafsie"
Condor, the Lindbergh inter-
mediary. on the night OF April 2,
1892, at st. Raymond's Cemetery.
The new suspect became sig
nificant today in the minds OF
some police officials in view Of
the testimony Colonel Lindbergh
gave yesterday before the Bronx
grand jury which indicted Haupt-
mann for extortion.
It was reported that Lindbergh
told the grand jury that the mys-
FERROUS John" had an accom-
plice on the night the money
was paid over by "Jafsie" in the
cemetery.
The accomplice is said to have
worn a handkerchief over his
face.
The close friend of Hauptmann
(the new suspect) has been ques-
toned by the police = but only
briefly-so that he would not be-
come alarmed or suspicious.
He is represented to be Of
Hauptmann's build, is of German
descent and familiar with the
hauntS Of DR.. Condor.

oreign goods; they have established

foreign goods; they have established
intricate systems of control over
foreign exchange, thus limiting the
supply of funds available for foreign
trade. The difficulties resulting from
such a network of barriers can be sue
cessfully overcome only by agree
ments between governments.
Most of the European countries
have developed a machinery whereby
bargaining agreements can be made
by the executive and put into force
Immediately. In some countries no
parliamentary ratification OF any kind
is necessary. In the majority OF
countries parliamentary ratification Is
necessary but the agreements can be
put into effect at once and parliament
tary ratification is largely a matter
of form. The present movement Is
strong in this direction. In many
important countries tariff changes can
be made practically overnight. This
is true of England, Of Germany. Of
Italy. In France a law has just been
passed, placing added authority in the
hands of the executive so as to permit
rapid tariff adjustments. A similar
law is pending in Japan.
6s Bargaining Pacts Made.
In order to meet the difficulties
caused by mounting tariff and trade
barriers throughout the world, foreign
countries are resorting with increas-
ing frequency to the negotiation Of
commercial agreements based upon
tariff bargaining. Since January l.,
1888, no fewer than So Of these bar
gaining agreements have been made.
If the United States is to retain
its normal proportion Of world trade,
so vital to its welfare, and II 1t is to
regain some part at least of the trade
it once enjoyed, it is imperative that
we set up q bargaining machinery
which will enable us to compete sue
cessfully with the countries Of Europe.
They give to their executives broad
powers to bargain and to put the
bargains promptly into force. It Is
the eff1cient method, and it is for us
the democratic method, because the
President is the one official of our
Government who directly represents
every one Of our 125 100000 people.
1t is the method which we must use
IL we are to deal effectively with
countries which are winning away
from us the trade we ought to have.
1t is this world situation which the
bill recently introduced into Congress
for the creation of tariff bargaining
machinery is designed to meet. Under
this bill Congress gives to the Presi-
dent the power to enter into foreign
trade agreements "for the purpose of

ports from Great Britain, Italy, Brazil
and Japan increased. In the same
way the United States share of trade
decreased while that of other coun-
tries increased with respect to Brazil,
Chile, Colombia. Mexico and other
Latin American countries.
Export Half of Cotton Crop.
What does this decrease in Amer
ican trade actually mean in the lives
of our farmers and manufacturers?
Although it is true that the United
States normally exports only about
one-tenth of its total production,
nevertheless certain staples are de-
pendant for their continued existence
upon an export of very much more
than one-tenth. We normally export
from this country over half Of our
cotton crop. Similarly, We export
normally almost 20 per cent of our
wheat; about a third of our tobacco:
about half of our packing house lard
and about quarter of our rice. The
failure to sell these surpluses abroad
would mean inevitable disaster to
great agricultural sections OF our
country. Such destitution and eco
nomic disaster would not be confined
to the producers themselves. 1t would
be transmitted, through diminished
purchasing power, into the business
life of every town and village in the
producing areas. and from these would
spread injury throughout our country
Without the income from the sales of
these Surpluses, real estate values must
fall sharply: tax revenues must be
curtailed; banks threatened, and the
cultural life of entire sections of the
country stricken, If not permanently
injured.
But this picture cannot be confined
to agricultural production. It must
embrace also many Of our largest in
dustries. Goods, such as machinery
and automobiles and electrical equip
ment, can be made more efficiently
in this country than anywhere else,
and the savings and reductions in cost
effected through mass production are
possible only if the surplus production
can be sold in foreign markets. Cut
of these foreign markets and the in
evitable result is unemployment. suf-
fering and human misery. AS the
Secretary of Commerce has well said:
"The loss of foreign markets to
farmers means the withdrawal of
acreage and the destruction of COM
munities. I must add to that picture
that the loss of foreign markets for
manufactured products has like i'm
plication to our economy. We need to
think of our laboring population in
the cities and manufacturing centers
no less than of our farmers because
it is of the very essence of the policy
of the new deal to take into con-
sideration the needs of balanced ma
tional life and of all groups and seq
ments of our people alike

hood on our foreign trade. It is i'm

striction. 1t is true, does not directly
add to employment, but is neces-
sary as an emergency measure to
raise unduly depressed prices, so that
these producers can in turn buy their
cutomary share of industrial products
and thus sustain industrial activity.
The sharper the decline of inter-
national trade, the greater the need
for artificial measures like restriction
is likely to become. We cannot afford
to shut our eyes to the real facts
which confront us. We must think
the situation through. Those who on
the one hand bitterly criticize the
administration production control
plans, and on the other criticize with
equal vigor the attempt to restore in
ternational trade through a feasible
and practicable method are stubbornly
refusing to look the facts Of the ex-
isting American situation in the face.
Lack Of Planning.
Under present world conditions.
with international trade shrunken to
pitiable proportions, as long as basic
American fields of agriculture and In
dustry are dependent for their con-
tinued existence upon the sales OF
large surpluses abroad. we have no
choice. It was lack of plan which
helped to build up our large unsafe
able surpluses and thus made the de-
preston inevitable. 1t is of large
popular appeal, but not sound eco
nomics, 10 protest against the curtail-
ment of food production when many
people are going hungry. The heart
of the difficulty does not lie in short
age of food but in shortage OF the
wherewithal with which to buy food.
The giving away Of food surpluses to
those short OF food would temporarily
help the hungry; but If the food pro-
ducers received no payment 1t would
permanently add them and their
families to the ranks Of the hungry.
1t was largely the policy of drift and
avoidance Of Government planning
that led from bad to worse during
the closing years Of the last decade,
ending in the economic disaster from
which 125,000.00O American people
are still suffering.
There is but one way out. We must
make it possible to sell our surpluses,
either through curtailing the produc-
ton of surpluses or through increas-
ing our sales abroad, or both. 1t is
combination of the two which the
present bill is drawn to make possible.
If those who preach that America
must be quite self-contained and
neither buy nor sell abroad, if this

expanding foreign markets for the
products Of the United States" In
order to give effect to these trade
agreements the bill empowers the
President to modify existing tariff
duties within certain limits.
Not Drastic Departure.
The method Of tariff adjustment
embodied in the bill is not in fact
a drastic departure from the present
law. Except that the purpose of the
enactment Is to increase rather than
to hinder American foreign trade, the
delegation of power to the President
to modify tariff duties is not unlike
the existing flexible tariff provisions,
under which the President Is author
lied to modify tariff rates If he finds
foreign countries engaging in unfair
practices In importing goods into the
United States or discriminating against
American commerce or producing at
a cost whose difference from Amer
ican costs is not covered by the exist
ing tariff rate.

up grounGless fears in the minds Of
American producers and manufac-
turers lest a reckless orgy of treaty
bargaining under the guise OF an
"internationalist" program so food the
country with imported goods as to
bring disaster to competing American
manufacturers. theoretically such
blind action might be conceivable, but
not in the world Of fact. Pressures
would be too strong to allow the Presi-
dent to follow such a ruinous course
even did he desire to. The Govern
ment exists to promote and protect
American manufacturers, not to ruin
them. And in the world Of actu-
alities it Is self-evident that no pro-
gram of tariff bargaining can be
entered into without the most pains
taking study and care. The very
foundation Of such a program must
be avoidance of undue injury to
American producers. The net result
OF any bargain must be dollars and
cents advantage to American pro-
ducers and the promise of additional
employment to American laborers,
otherwise no President would sanction
it. This means unavoidably the work.
ing out of a careful program before
any actual bargaining takes place,
and this program must be based upon
a thorough-going study with relation
to each commodity concerned in order
to determine what would be the eco
nomic effects of a reduction in the
existing tariff. what existing duties
could be modified without undue in
jury to American producers, of what

importance each commodity d from
the viewpoint Of national defense, how
far each constitutes a chief source
of supply from the country under con-
sideratjon, and host Of similar uues-
tons. During the course of this study
1t goes without saying that American
producers would be given a chance to
be heard and to lay their views before
those responsible for formulating the
program.
Must Benefit, Not Ipjura.
No ole could have made a more
positive statement on this point than
the President himself. In his mes
sage to Congress, speaking Of the
proposed bill, he said: THE exercise
Of the authority which propose must
be carefully weighed In the light Of
the latest information so as to give
assurance that no sound and i'm
portant American interests will be
injuriously disturbed. The adjust
ment OF our foreign trade relations
must rest on the promise Of under
taking to benefit and not injure such
interests. In a time of difficulty and
unemployment such as this the high
est consideration Of the position OF
the different branches of American
production is required"
The Secretary OF State in his testi-
mony before the Ways and Means
Committee was equally explicit. What
he said was this: 1T can be stated
with emphasis that each trade agree
ment undertaken would be considered
with care and caution and only after
the fullest consideration Of all perth
nent information. Nothing would be
done blindly or hastily"
The tariff bargaining program is
part Of larger constructive scheme
for decreasing unemployment in
America and securing a return OF
prosperity. It Is q national plan,
based upon large vision for the future
welfare Of American agriculture and
industry. The issue raised by the bill
Is the concern Of every one Of the
125 600, 900 consumers of America. It
affects directly or indirectly every
American home. Surely those who
really care for the welfare Of the
American people as a whole will want
to lend their support to the great
hearted man in the White House, who
in launching this bill has shown once
again his far-seeing leadership and
his devotion TO the people Of America.

manent the withdrawal from culti-
vation of over $4,000, 900 acres of
fairly good farm land: and the re-
sulting economic and social disloca-
ton cannot but spell extended human
suffering. If, on the other hand,
those who advocate unlimited and
uncontrolled production and the sale
of all resulting surpluses abroad are
to have their way, there Is danger
that the resulting flood of foreign
importations exchanged for these sur
pluses would spell disaster to count
less competing American industries.
The part of wisdom Is to avoid either
extreme, both to curtail the produc-
ton Of surpluses and to stimulate
foreign exchange, but each within
reasonable limits. That is the admin
istration program. Through the agri-
cultural administration successful ef-
forts are being put into effect to cur
tail the production of unsaleable sur
pluses and thus avoid inevitable price
depressions and widespread human
suffering. But in order to reduce so
far as possible this program Of cur
tailment, a parallel and compile
mentary program is offered by the
proposed bill of making possible larger
sales abroad.
Trade for Other Goods.
Clearly the only way in which
America can sell her surplus goods in
foreign markets is to trade them for
other goods or services. No other
course is possible; for We have learned
the evil during the past decade of
sending American goods abroad and
receiving in return nothing but
promises to pay. II we are to avoid
throwing additional millions Of Ameri-
cans out Of employment, the policy
of bargaining our way into the mar
kets of the world would seem to offer
the only practicable solution under
present conditions. What is the most
feasible machinery for achieving this
end?
Many economic and monetary
causes have contributed to the present
alarming shrinkage of world trade.
Primarily among these is the almost
universal existence Of high trade bar
rierS built up in a frenZied effort to
gain a so-called favorable balance of
trade" by shutting out foreign goods
in disregard of the inevitable dis
astrous effect upon those branches of
agriculture and industry which de-
pend for their very existence upon
world market. Most of the nations
have erected ever mounting tariff
barriers; they have imposed quotas
limiting the amount of imports; they
have created state monopolies where
by to prevent the competition Of

Importance of our overseas commerce

This decline of international trade
is one of the main factors which has
created the problem Of unsaleable sur
pluses of staple commodities and re-
sulting low prices. The consequent
plight of the producers of these COM
modities has made necessary the
adoption of some program for restric-

compensation for restriction. Re-
