As this is written no announce

Warrior" will get the chance to
make another speech. Ii it falls
as flat as his Liberty League din
ner Grafton the Democrats sup
porting the President will prob
ably want to do something to help
the gathering along. 1t has been
noted that. Immediately after the
Smith oratorical effort at the

from the po.it, cal picture as an
effective adversary of the admin

make the effort to pick up the

Arab Gun Runner Bares Secrets
Of Arms Bootlegging In Palestine
Fighting Which Began Sew
eral Months Ago Still
Continues In Different
Sections
By EDWARD j. NEIL
(lkv ASSOcfufaE IBr.SSl

JERUSALEM, Aug. 4.-This
old Arab is a Mukhtar, a sort of a
mayor of a small Arab village
south of Jerusalem. He's a big,
Misunderstanding codger until
you get to know him. Then he
smothers you with kindness.
chokes you with endless cups of
syrupy Turkish coffee, running
your digestion.
Then, if you hammer hard
enough at him, and he really
trusts you, he tells you about his
specially, gun running.
Yes, sir, the old Mlkhtar is
about the cleverest Arab in Pales-
tine at sneaking rifles and am
munition from Trans-Jordan,
where rifles and ammunition are
lawful, into Palestine, where they
most certainly are not, particular
ly since the revolt against Jewish
immigration and land buying
started almost three months ago.
Losses Heavy
"But even knowing all the lit
tie wadis (valleys) and every inch
of the hills in the dark Of night,
we lose rs per cent OF the ship
ments," he says sadly.
And how is business at the mo-
ment, with the revolt freshening
every day, the death toll rising
steadily, tempers fraying, hatreds
more bitter, violence more ex-
treme?
cts bad, very bad" he says.
Yesterday, after a whole weeks
work, l reached here with At
rifles, 10000 cartridges. But the
more the British capture, the
more we smuggle, and the more
we get through"
The northern border of Pales-
tine now is so well protected by
Britishl troops that Arab arms
smuggling practically has ceased
along the Jordan river line north
OF the Dead Sea. But east Of the
roasting valley o. biblical fame,
some 1000 feet below sea level.
there stretches a wide desert,
most difficult to patrol but SIM
pie territory for Arabs and
camels.
Chickens And Eggs
It's not far to the Syrian bor-
der along this desert corridor, not
far either to Iraq, where arms al
so are easy to procure. And COM
ing into Palestine from the south,
through more bleak desert and
hill country, there are many
places for gun runners to slip
through the British cordons.
The Arabs say they have
brought in at least 10000 rifles
and hundreds OF thousands of
rounds OF ammunition through
these holes. There seems plenty
o. truth to such a statement, for
only a week ago one caravan was
caught in series of twisting
wadis along the southern frontier
between Ghamr and Rashrash,
and in the camel packs were 1000
army rifles and 10000 cartridges
AS we drank more coffee the
old Arab gentleman who is head
of all this received telegraph
message from GAIA. another gun
running center in the south.
"Chickens and eggs have ar
rived" he read off, translatine
the Arabic.

The acceptance speech of Gov.
Landon has been hailed by his
supporters as. evidence of the
calmness and caution with which
present problems must be APP
preached if they are to be cor,
rectly solved, and by Democrat
as vague array of generalitIes
that leave untouched the vital
issues. Some observers see a con
tinuat:on of the pre- convention
strategy, an avoidance Of specifl-
cations and a strategy aimed to
coalesce opposition to the admin
istration into a comb ned force
without the danger of dividing
support by alternating any part
by taking advanced positions.

On the question of labor the
nominee took what looks Ike a
decided stand against the conten-
ton of labor leaders. The point
at issue between tie two parties
centers around one clause, relat-
ing to coercion in regard to the
right to organize. The Democratic
Platform employ ers and the Re-
publican draft "from interference
from any source" which the NOM
inee interprets to mean centre
freedom from coercion or intimi-
dat:on by the employer, ~ any
fellow-emplo.ee, o. any othc,' per-
son."

THE TARIFF AN ISSUE
BY HUGO SIMS,

dent of The Citizen

dent OF The CltlZen
There is no longer any argu-
mont about improved business
conditions. The depression is, for
the most part, behind the nation
and industry is going into a pc
riod of continuous recovery. Cor
pOrate statements reflect increas-
ed earnings and there are other
distinct grounds for the optimistic
attitude to the future now evil
dent in business circles.

1t is urly fair TO assure that
the Kansas governor Will, in sub
aequent speeches, discuss some
fundamental issues at greater
length. At Topeka he emphaized
that proposed economics viii not
come out of allotments to the I'M
employed, but "out of the hides
of the political explo- ters." He
was for leash benefits IN order
to cushion cur farm families
against TIC disastrous effects of
price fluctuations anI to protect
their standard of living" As these
.2.Gtementa imply continued Fed
eral payments it i5 probable that
another address will go into more
detail, particularly showing how
the budget can be balanced by
reducing expenditures of govern
ment and continuing the relief
assistance and farm benefits.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-08-04

The meaning of the phrase is
important to labor leaders, who
point out that the national labor
relations act provides only for
protection against employer CO.
ercion. They want assurances that
,abor will have the right to use
organizers whether they are en-
ployes of a given plant or not
and that the use Of such organ
izers shall not become illegal. Un-
less Gov. Landon goes further
in affirming the rights of labor,
he viii not win any substantial
number of labor votes, says David
Lawrence, and Frederic William
Vile. another anti-administration
commentator, thinks that the Ian
don statement looks a little like
tacit admission that labor support.
so far as the outstanding leaders
are concerned, S "prettv much in

An interesting situation has
arisen in Kansas, where the WPA
and the EA ere moving to supply
relief jobs and "doles" to some
farmers, whose condition is said
to be worse than in 1884. Mean
willie, Gov. Landon himself is
studying plans for emergency aid
by asking for a reduction of
freight rates on shipments of cat
tie, water, feed and pumping
equipment and seeking from oil
companies the loan of pumping
equipment to draw water from
rivers and creeks for the cattle in
dry areas. In other words, there
seems to he something in the ma

The National Chamber of Com
merce concludes that 1886 will be
"the best year in physical vol
ume of business" since 1929.
Building construction in six
months was rs per cent ahead of
last year, consumption in several
lines is back to the 1929 level and
freight shows substantial gains.
Employment in manufacture, ac-
cording to Labor Bureau records,
is the largest since the fail of
1880 and the Chamber estimates
that the Autumn stimulus will
put it close to the 1927 and 1928
point. incidentally, steel makers
are planning wages for overtime,
showing how they regard the
prospects.

The question arises, what effect
will this recovery have on the
political outlook? Usually, as ev-
-eiyone knows, good business nelPs
the party in power and bad bust
ness hurts it. Without participant
ing in the partisan debate over
the question whether administra-
ton policies have helped or him
dered recovery, it might be noted,
as an amazing factor, that de-
spite the improvement in business
conditions there is no enthusiasm
for the President in business and
financial circles. The big leaders
are against the administration
and many smaller business men
throughout the nation will be in
fluenced by their example.

The Rev. Cough.in is address
ing large crowds wherever he
goes but seems to be unlucky in
speech. After his initial breach,
calling the President a "liar", the
parson was quoted in the news
papers IS urging farmers to re-
pudiate their debts. His apology to
the Chief Executive and his denial
that he was correctly quoted in
, regard to debts will not remove
the impression that the radio
priest is losing some of his bal
ance in the heat of his emotion.
While he is undoubtedly making
strong appeal to some portion
of the voters there are little indi-
cations that his campaign for Rep
Lemke will get very far at the
polls. This situation may change
as the campaign goes along, but
for the present the third party
threatens to do little nationally,
although in some states the COM
bination of Townsend, Coughlin,
Smith and Lemke may be the de-
cisive balance between the remo-
Gratis and Republicans.
Interesting is the announcement
that anti-Roosevelt Democrats
will stage a conference soon to
discuss how best to oppose the
President. Any reader who has
kept up with national politics in
the slightest measure will have
no hesitation in naming those

A. Reed, of Missouri, Joseph B.

1t is obvious, however, that the
recovery underway has, at least,
put a crimp in the prospects of
parties and politicians hoping to
capitalize on unrest. How effec-
tive this obstacle will be in pre-
venting the development of wild
eyed support for crazy remedies
remains to be seen. 1t depends
upon the extent of employment,
the efficacy of relief generally.
and the condition of the agricul-
tural class when the voters go to
the polls.

Acid was applied on Tuesday but
the acid ate out the casing seat

Cassidy had very poor luck on
the Carlson farm, occupying part
of the East Half OF Section 22-35-

than most west side wells but they
present a problem In acidzation
which Cassidy has been unable 20
solve. The producing formation Is
said to contain Bentonate or other
form of clay which swells when
moistened. Accordingly, the acid
seemed to close up the porous lime
rather than open up flow channels.
Big West has It's own acid de-
partment and hopes to make pro-
ducers out of the Cassidy wells.
