BEHIND TIE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
BY RODNEY DUTCHE7

ing sought was signed only June
II, 1884, and five agreements in a
little more than a year, with a
dozen more definitely on the fire,
is regarded as something of a
record for this complex kind OF
diplomacy.
The first Of these agreements.
signed with Cuba last August, only
two months after passage of the
law. is the best proof of the trade
pudding, During the first nine
months OF operation under that
agreement. trade between the two
countries increased &c per cent, an
increase amounting to S4S,OO0,0OO.
The far-reaching effect of these
agreements is little realized. They
are more than agreements between
the two countries signing them.
Take the case of the recent Bel
gian agreement. The concessions
made to Belgium are also offered
to any other country in the world

ton to the United States. That
offer is open and continuing.

.HOW can the United States afford
IL to generalize such concessions?
That depends on what is conceded.
Let's suppose that all the shoe.
horns used in the United States
must be imported. Eighty per cent
of them come from Country A.
The other 20 per cent come from
assorted countries B. C. and D.
We go to Country A and say
well lower the tariff on shoe.

spark plugs" Country A says
"Fine!" and it is done
Then we say TO countries 3, c,
and D, We'll do as much. for you
if you want to play the game"
There is no discrimination
against B, c. and D. and yet A has
concluded with us a mutually adj
vantageous bargain. B, c, and D
can still sell us their shoe.horns
on the same terms. if they'll take
our spark plugs.

A COUNTRY POLITICIAN GONE
WRONG

What a spectacle is furnished by Secre-
tary Roper, South Carolinian, permitting
himself to be used as a catspaw by the mis-
cellaneous collection of radicals now Ill
control OF the Washington government
For information see the SecretaryS Constr
tuition Day speech, as reported IN yeStef-
days newspapers.
One of the slogans enunciated by the
Secretary in his address was this euphonl-
Gus challenge with the Constl-
tuition" Of course the SecretaryS idea OF
progress is further advancement into So
cialism and Communism under the Raw
Deal.
The Secretary should have heart to
heart talk with old Senator King, Demo-
cratic leader of Utah, who has taken up
the radical challenge that all who oppose
the present administration are Tories and
reactiOnaries.
Senator King says there is nothing new
in or about the so-called New Deal. 1t IS
the age-old deal that has been demonstrate
ed in every country of the world in time
past, going back to the dark ages and back
of the Christian era. 1t is the old deal that
has been handed to the people by every
self-styled ruler by divine right who has
ever lived, by every tyrant and dictator in
the history of the world, by every dreamer
and schemer and political trickster seeking
to serve his own ends and make the masses
the victims of his personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT
or of his theories.
The self-styled New Dealers, says Sen
ator King, are the real Tories and reaction
aries of the present day. Instead of being
engaged in a forward march they are 60
ing backward. They believe in those thee
ries, practices and conditions which passed
out in this country with the American Rev
olutiOn. They are headed back into the
dark ages, striking for political, social and
! economic policies, many of which were dis
! credited in practice thousand or several
thousand years ago.
! So, if Secretary Roper wants to go for
ward with and under constitutional gov
. eminent, he will find it necessary to sever
relations with the crowd he is now running
with in Washington. Hope of changing the
! views or reforming that crowd is vain, a.
its leaders and bosses are acting with theil
eyes open, with definite detectives, anc
, with very clear understanding of the
fact that they are driving to convert thi:
Republic into a radical Socialist dictator
! ship.
What Secretary Roper evidently greatly
needs is an injection of the spirit of Ameri
caniSm. Senator King, or Senator Garter
Glass, or any one of a large number Of
great Democrats might assist in revivine
the old gentleman's dropping Democracy
if he would get in closer touch with then
! and maintain less contact with the Tug
, wells, Frankfurters, Wallaces, Cohens anc
other shining lights of radicalism.

It is of interest to note that the
Frank Selmier Towel Supply Co.,

NOU have the picture in your
l. minds now concerning the &C
Invites of carrier pigeons. eX-
planned their uses during the World
War, but you may be surprised to
learn that homing pigeons are still
used by our government.
The lighter than air outft-that s
the dirigible corps to you-at Lake
hurst, N. j., keeps a supply of the
carrier birds on hand and every
once in a while they take out a
crate of them and release the birds
just to see if the little feathered
fellows can find their way back
home. They call these tests, Pigeon
Training Flights.
Not long ago, 16 pigeons were
taken from their Lakehurst loft and
were Grated and shipped by airplane
to Philadelphia with instructions to
release them on arrival for a re-
turn flight to Lakehurst.
The Navy quits for the day at
4:30 p. M, you know, and it was at
o'clock that the birds arrived at
Philadelphia. Well, a written mes
sage was placed in a capsule and
tied to the leg of one of the birds
. then all 16 were released, short
ly after p. NJ, you must remember.
A few minutes after 6 o'clock that
evening, the bird which had the
message attached to its leg re
ported in" at the Lakehurst loft. It
had made its return trip promptly
and had carried out it's duty in true
Navy fashion. But-the other Is
birds did not make an appearance
at LakehurSt until the next morn

When the Treaty of Cancellation
was signed between Italy and the
Vatican, in 1929, one of the inval-
liable possessions of Christianity
which was returned to papal control
was the more than 500 miles of
catacombs dug in a maze of tunnels
beneath the city of Rome.
These catacombs we're the burial
places of Christians in Roman times
III the third century they harbored
Christians fleeing from pagan per-
SeCutiOn.
By the fifth century, the cata-
combs were neglected, then ran
sacked by the Goths and Lombards,
and finally forgotten. They were
rediScovered in 1878.
Returned to the sovereignty of
the Holy See, the catacombs are
being restored.

Among the 14,763 persons holding
pilots licenses on Oct. l, 1885, there
were 1877 transport, $50 limited

Seventy-one United States flying
clubs are registered by the United

airplane owners, although many
more have ships registered in names
of individual owners.
"A Danish inventor has produced

Reports from the Department of

MODEL MAKERS
PREPARE CRAFT
FOR EXPOSITION
Showing of Tiny Plane
To Be Next Week at
TomIinson Hall.

With one week remaining to put
the finishing touches on their tiny
flying crafts, model plane builders
are preparing for the showing of
model planes next Saturday at
Tomlinson Hall. 1t is expected to be
the largest ever held here.
Any model builder may enter his
plane in The Times Model Aircraft
Exposition. Affiliation with The
Times Junior Aviator Squadron is
not necessary. Every person desir-
ing to display his models is urged to
bring them to Tomlinson Hall early
Saturday.
Admission is to be free and the
public is invited.
Show to Be Interesting
The show will be interesting en-
tertainment and also will reveal the
educational value that is being de-
rived from model building and fly
ing by young aviators.
Model clubs have arranged for
club displays. Local model dealers
are to have their own exhibits, and
many filters are preparing for indi-
vidual shows of their handiwork.
Contests, motion pictures, demon
STATIONS Of propeller carving, fusel-
age building and exhibits of gaso-
line and compressed air motors are
to be included in the program.
There also is to be an exhibit of
trophies won by local model build
ers at national model contests in
Cleveland.

races examined Beckers plane with
hopes of duplicating the model.
Today, we are printing the COM
