lombia, Brazil, etc., gets the
same benefit. Thus American
goods get no preference.
Second, is the fact that some
commodities, such as coffee and
tea, which we import in ire
mendous quantities, are on the
free list. And it is difficult to
drive a bargain with a country
when the tariff rate on its chief
export already is zero.
Third, is the fact that the state
department. is steering clear of
commodities manufactured by
predatory" American interests.
They are too we'll intrenched, can
make too loud squawk.
So the state department gives
them a wide berth.

THERE returned to his regi-
l. ment the other day an officer
who, during six months of unspec-
tacular, but outstanding, work with
the NRA, lived up to the highest
traditions Of the military service.
During this period, Colonel
George A. Lynch, as administra-
tive officer of the Blue Eagle, met
steadfastly and unflinchingly one
of the severest tests that can be
put to an executive-duty versus
personal friendship.
The army man was brought to
the NRA at the request of General
Hugh johnson. The two men had
been West Point comrades, served
together as young officers.
Yet, when during the last sum-
mer fierce dissension and internal
turmoil wracked and battered the
NRA, Lynch quietly, but doggedly,
hewed straight to the line of duty.
When occasion arose to chal-
lenge a decision of Johnson's, adj
ministrative officer Lynch did so
without equivocation.
The tall, gray-haired Indian
straight army officer was not
popular about the NRA. Aloof by
nature, he did not mix with the
staff. With newsmen he was for
biddingly taciturn.

The public works administration
agreed some time ago to loan and
grant Greenwood county total
of S2,767 900 for its plant. The
Duke Power Company protested
and carried its case on to the fed
eraI power commission. The COM
mission now has granted the
county a license to build.
The fact that the commission
acted the day after President
Roosevelt took steps to coordinate
politics of all different depart
ments of the government made
the connection with IVA even
more evident.
Greenwood county proposes to
serve three South Carolina towns
and a considerable rural area
with power. 1t says the Duke
Power Company has not built its
lines into this district, but the
company has a power dam just
nine miles below the site selected
by the county.

Il lie power will pay rates iden-
teal with those established by
IVA for domestic consumers
S1.5O for fifty-kilowatt hours.
When the county first announced
its plans, the Duke Power Com
pany was charging S2.98 for kilo-
watt hours in nearby territory.
Since then it has reduced its rate
to $40.
PWA found that the country's
rate is large enough to cover pro-
duction and sale costs and to
provide for amortization of its
loan. The county itself is sure
it can pay the money back in
twelve years instead of the twenty
allowed it.
So far there has been no indi-
cation that the company would
try to head of the new project
by agreeing to meet the county'S
rates. PWA Administrator 1ckes
announced recently that before
loans will be given an opportunity
TO put into effect rates as low as
those at which the public project
would be self hquidating.
The Duke company told PWA
that the competition would ham
per. and perhaps cripple. the phi
lanthropies carried on by the
Duke endowment. This objection
Greenwood county officials de-
nounced as absurd, unsound and
without economic justification.

Witnesses who never before
have been brought in by local au-
thorities have been making their
first appearance in federal court
of law.
1t is federal grand jury under
solemn instructions of Federal
Judge Albert 1. Reeves to probe
deeply into the Union station mas
sacre of June II, 1888, in which
five men were cut down by thugs
bullets and the title of most
gang-ridden city passed (tempo-
rarily, at least) from Chicago to
Kansas City.
A LREADY eight indictments

charged with conspiracy to OBJ

expected to follow.
Gradually a picture is develop
ing of the real workings of the
interstate underworld and its ties
with the sinister figures who lurk
in the shadows between legitimate
politics and racketeering in every
big city.
What had Pretty Boy" Floyd,
the Oklahoma desperate, to do
with all this?
Plenty.
Floyd, federal agents now are
convinced, was one of the machine
gunners who murdered four peace
officers and convict Frank Nash
at Union station here in an effort
to free Nash from custody.
And it was Floyd's death and
the capture of his pal, Adam Ri
chetti, that gave the final impetus
to the federal investigation of
the Union station massacre.
Richetti, accused of having been
in the murder car, is the last left
alive of the CANISTER crew. Hence

get him back to Missouri from
Ohio, where he was captured.

Controversy Is Deep

A ND have the feeling that the controversy cuts
IA even a little deeper. Gilbert Gabriel OF the
American has expressed it we'll by saying. After ALL
playrights are merely lot of disappointed critics"
The average theater goer is of the opinion that
anybody who sets little word after another and
manages to procure a patron becomes upon that in
stance a creative artist. But I am not ready to
admit that the function Of the dramatist is IN
evitably more important than the function OF the
critic To be specific think of George Jean Nathan
as having a more important stake in the develop
ment of the American drama than that which lies
within the hands of owen Davis. 1t is my recol-
lection that Mr.. Nathan has written not single
play for purposes of production while owen Davis
has hammered out at least hundred. And yet IN
the DAYS to come George Jean Nathan ought to be
exalted as the more creative person.
It is well to remember that criticism at Its best
is not a species of news reporting or columnar &C
tivity It is an art which may be wholly sef-con-
tanned First comes the man who frames the struc-
ture and substance of dramatic presentation ana
close upon his heels there walks the interpreter In
very many cases the man who undertakes to explain

the theme involved than that achieved by the orig
inal author Some of the greatest figures in music,
