WITH some cigars, the first smoke
is the best. The second isn't quite up
to the mark. And the third makes
you say, "I've had enough for today"
But with La Azora, it is just the
reverse. After the first, you'll say,
"a pleasantly mild cigar"-after the
second, "Say, there's a come again
taste to this smoke''-and after the
third, "Well-here is the cigar for
all.day satisfaction"

of the Commission unable to attend
this meeting.
At this early date it is impossible
for the commission even to venture
a guess as to the approximate cost
of the proposed boulevard. No guess
could be attempted until engineers
have completed a survey and until
the commission has some idea as to
the route to be followed and the scope
of the boulevard project.
The purpose of the commission is
to build a magnificent boulevard in
the form of a parkway which will
not only serve as a connecting link
between the Gettysburg Battlefield,
the Capital City and the Lincoln
Memorial, but also as a link with the
Washington Mount Vernon boulevard
and the Shenandoah National Park
system.
The aim of the commission now is
to make the parkway boulevard a
thing Of beauty and usefulness. but
to give no consideration to its COM
merical advantages.
In authorizing this memorial boule-
ward Congress appropriated $4,000
for initial expenses. However, the
commission determined today to use
as far as possible the engineers and
other facilities of the District of Co
lumbia, Maryland and Pennsylvania,
the three Jurisdictions directly inter
ested in the project. as well as of the
Federal Government in making the
preliminary surveys and plans, there
by reducing the initial expense.

NEW NAVAL MOVE
FINDS TOXIC ALOOF
Welcomes Anglo-U. S. Aban-
donment of Ratios, but
Reserves Full Approval.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, July 25-While welcoming
the attitude Of abandonment Of naval
ratios. as indicated by Great Britain
and the United States, Japanese naval
circles tonight reserved full approval
of it.
The suspicion was voiced that Amer
icas statement of equality of secur-
ity" for all nations and tonnage parity
are unrelated.
The Asahi and other vernacular
newspapers saw in the voluntary re-
linquishment Of the ratio principle
by Great Britain and the United
Safes a reasonableness toward the
japanese policy and a ray of hope
for a future disarmament conference
But the fear was expressed in
Japanese circles that the Anglo
American formula merely disguised a
ratio principle, which Japan abso-
lutely opposes. The argument TO place
tonnage equality in a separate cate
CORY, it was pointed out, is designed
to protect Americas present superb

explanation of Japans naval develop

been given TO the foreign office. Nc
decision on it is likely 10 be made
however, until the arrival Of Ambas-

<kTT T IS true that the discovery OF
new processes Of manufacture
will undoubtedly continue. but
this will not leave room for
marked extension such as has been
witnessed during the last so years nor
afford a remunerative employment Of
the vast amount of capital which has
been created during that period. The
market price Of products will continue
lew, no matter what the cost Of pro-
duction may be. The day Of large
profits is probably past. There may
be room for further intensive but not
extensive development Of industry in
the present era of civilization"
The quotation was taken from a
report made in 1886 by Carol d.
Wright. United States commissioner
of labor. At that time the Nation
was just pulling itself out of three
year period OF business depression.
Mr.. Wright, a sincere and able econ
omist of his time. was concerned be-
cause the introduction of pipe lines
was diSplacing horses and men in
handling the daily oil production,
81 900 barrels at that time Other in
ventions, the telephone among them
were being equally upsetting to the
established economic routine Of the
day.
Mr.. Wright, however, was eStab-
fishing a premise that was in direct
opposition to the truth, namely, that
the intrusion of mechanical progress
and new processes of manufacture
were proving harmful to the eco
nomic health of the Nation. that
they carried no rewards of higher
earnings or improved conditions.
Expansion Followed Report.
His report scarcely had been pre-
sented when an era OF productive
expansion began and continued with
only slight set-backs until 1893. For
the next five years business and in
dustry we're IN a slump. but it was the
stimulation Of expansion in two hither-
to infant industries that contributed
greatly to recovery. These were the
bicycle and typewriter industries. In
! 1907 came a panic" overcome in
| about year by an industrial expan-
sion led by the young automobile in
| dustry. In 1921 a pretty severe post
war depression set in. but in 1922 auto
mobile production, buoying itself on
''modernlzation" in design OF product
and improvement in methods Of pro-
duction, jumped from l,5l8061 cars
| to 1859, ,089. And the infant radio
/ industry let out few squeals that
were music to the ears Of industry.
None of these industries sprang full
grown into the status of major factors
! in the economic situation. Each was
/ the fruit of research and experiment
/ tation. Each, in fact, was at about
the same stage in development at
those particular times as any one OF
half a dozen young industries is today.
In some of the latter there may be
an answer to the ccuntry's search for
handspring" Of recovery.
Although no comprehensive statis-
tics are available to compare the in
ventive activity Of the depression

Roosevelt and Garner
See Tax Bill Move
Was Mistake.
RY PAUL MALLON.

Mr.. Garners sleeves are bulging
suspiciously as he strolls around the
Senate chamber these days. There
are indications that he has tricks in
them. Peeping Toms have noted
that when he takes off his coat at
night strange legislative novelties fall
out
The fact is the Vice President
has been intruSted BY the President
NTH complete authority oDer the
currently puzsling legislative stu
alton. No one else at the Capitol
is supposed to knoW the ANSWERS to
the riddles you see daily in the
headlineS-iUhether there is going
TO be a tar bill, or Dhen. ii eUer,
Congress is going to adjourn.
Now it is never a good idea to mix
magic with poker, even metaphori-
cally. People have been shot doing
that. But it is safe to point out that
Mr.. Garner has the best poker face
in Washington. 1t is rumored. for in
stance, that he frequently carries his
hole card home with him at nights.
Consequently you will never find the
answers from him. But, in other
ways, you can get some fairly helpful
ideas.
Tax Bill Move Regretted.
It is no secret that Messrs. RooSe-
velt and Garner see more clearly
every day that the move to keep Con-
gress here TO enact tax bill was q
dangerous venture.

1t has resulted in raising the bonus
issue: started silver uprising; en-
couraged the Frazier -Lemkeites; Of
fered an opportunity for a congress
sional imitation drive. II has raised
every buried issue the New Dealers
wanted to keep buried. In fact, if
they knew you well enough they would
probably concede that it was a mis-
take to bring the idea up at this
time
Consequently. there is more than a
faint ground for the suspicion that
there would be no wailing or gnaSh-
ing of teeth around the White House
if an honorable way of delaying the
plan until next session could be found,
in order that Congress could be ad-
journed as soon as possible.
You may look for one OF tiUO con-
cluStonS: (d) bargain Whereby
the original Roosevelt tar proposal
and the bonus Uill be pushed
through in a hurry on the same
bill, or fbJ hdsty adjournment
after the passage OF the bank bill
and other must" legislation (leaU-
ing the tar program, the bonus and
all the substitute financial pdndceds
until nert session..
The odds now favor the latter course.
An adjournment on that basis within
the next three weeks is probable,
despite all you have heard to the
contrary.
Statement Barrage On.
Wise news readers can rest their
eyes when they come to statements
now being issued by the various con-
gressional leaders. All are talking for
effect, rather than for edif1cation.
This is not a phenomenon. Near
the end of the session they always
make false threats, assume positions
they do not intend to hold, in order
to better their bargaining position.
This applies to the statements By
administration authorities that the
tar program must be settled before
adjournment, as uell as to the
proQnosticdtton OF Senator Bordh
that Congress t0iu be here until
NoDem0eT /.
President Roosevelt has been easing
up the last week or so. probably be-
cause of the congressional fracas.
Fewer callers are being received at the
White House than in months. The
President remains at his office for
shorter hours, arriving later and leav-
ing earlier than is customary. Also
his last week end jaunt on the Sc
quota lasted longer Than usual.

PLAN TO BREAK
.PENS|0NDEADLOCK
Conferees Struggle to Settle
Differences Over Clark
Amendment.
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

Efforts are being made today to
break the deadlock between the two
branches Of Congress over the Clark
amendment to the social security
program, which would permit indus
tries to operate private retirement
plans instead of going into the pro-
posed Federal old-age insurance Sys-
tenn.
Conferees prepared to resume de-
liberations this afternoon. with eacn
body having instructed its conferees
to insist on their respective positions
on the question. The House is oppos-
ing private pension plan, while the
Senate is advocating 1t.
In view OF the vote by which the
House last week instructed its con-
ferees not to yield, it appeared likely
that the final showdown on the queS-
ton will come in the Senate when the
confereeS make another report.
Another Test to Be Made.
Whether the Senate conferees yield
in conference, or report back at dis
agreement the decision will have to
be acted on in the end by the Senate.
which originally adopted the Clark
amendment by a vote OF 81 to IS.
Senator Clark, Democrat, Of Missouri
has indicated he would seek another
test of sentiment in the Senate when
the final conference report is sub
mitted.
If. on another roll call, the Senate
reversed its previous position, the fight
would be over and the social security
bill would go to the White House for
signature all other disputes having
been settled.
If the Senate should reafirm its
original vote. the question would be
returned to the conferees, to discuss
possible compromises. If another roll
call is taken in the Senate, it would
require change of at least eight votes
to drop the Clark amendment from
the bill.
On the eve of the new conference
the position of the House was strength
ened by the views expressed yesterday
by President Roosevelt in opposition
to the Clark amendment. Before the
question was voted on in the Senate
originally, however, it was opposed
there by administration leaders.
Question Of Legality.
| 1t also was made known at the
Capitol yesterday by administration
supporters that officials of the Depart
ment of Justice have taken the view
that the Clark amendment would cast
doubt on the conStitutionality of the
old-age insurance program. On The
other hand. several Senators support,
ing the Clark amendment declared
during Senate debate several week.
ago that the contributory old-age in
Surance features of the security bill
are open to ooubt as to constitution
ality even without the Clark amend
ment.
The provisions in question impose q
! pay roll tax on employees and en-
ployerS in connection with the Fedora
old-age insurance plan. The Clarl
amendment would allow the Socia
Security Board to exempt a concern
from these taxes if it operates 1
retirement plan equal to or bettel
than the Government system. TIL,
amendment also provides that th'
employer must put as much into tn,
private plans as he would have t
contribute in the Government plan.
