Second Half
Play Opens
Here Friday
Eagles Back in Pennant
Race With Win Over
Benton City.

Shaving off Benton City's last
half rally with scoring squirt IN
the final minutes of the game, the
White Bluffs Eagles Friday night
downed the Ki-Be-Hi aggregation,
36 to %, to chalk up their second
conference win, as against one de-
feat, of the season.
The locals had the game we'll in
hand during the first half, leading
1877 at the quarter and 1873 at
the midway mark, but Benton City,
paced by Wilson, sharpshootlng
guard who entered the game after
the intelmission, soon began to
threaten the Eagles lead, coming
up fast to trail by just one point
at the end of the third quarter,
1922
In the final quarter, Benton City
tied the score at 26-all, and then
went into a one-point lead of 28-
a., but was unable to hold the
pace as the Eagles once again found
the range and widened their mar
gin.
Worby, Eagle center, was high
point man with IL counters, fol-
lowed by Wilson of Benton City
with 8.
The Eagle seconds won an easy
verdict of 26-1O in the preliminary
game, with Howard Clark tallying
ls points to win high point honors.
Friday night, January 81, the
Eagles will meet the Benton City
auint in a return game, the flrsJ
OF the second half of the schedule,
on the local floor. The preliminary
game will get underway at 1880.

BARRIERS INCREASED

These powers were granted to the President for three years but, by the language of the bill, the life of the treaties can be indefinite or for any term the President may ap- prove. Thus we may be committed to foolish, detrimental policy in a treaty for years to come.
 It is impossible to separate the effects of the agreements already made and of other New Deal poli- cies, such as price raising and re- striction of production in agricul- ture and industry, and fiscal and monetary policies.
 The agreements were supposed to break down trade barriers. It is obvious from the figures that these barriers have increased, while other nations have improved their posi- tions at the expense of the United States. This act permits the lower ing of our tariffs without reference to domestic production costs and thereby jeopardizes all American agriculture, labor and industry; un- dermines the American wage level and threatens our American stan- dard of living.

OTTAWA, Sept. 24. = To resist domination of her soil by any other empire" Canada could at this moment summon to arms 56,- 900 men.
 However, the land forces of the Dominion are capable of almost immediate expansion. Within the country are close to 100000 vet- erans of the World War, and the army maintains a framework for six divisions.
 Canada was late in the arma- ment race but is making great strides to catch up. The defense estimate for this year is 34O34,- 364 Practically all the Canadian aircraft plants are working on na- tional defense orders. Heavy artil- lery, anti-aircraft guns and tanks are being purchased from Great Britain. Canada itself is manufac- turing light machine guns of the DIel type
 The cOuntrys naval power does not amount to much. It's present strength is six destroyers and four minesweepers, with 116 officers and 1852 ratings. Back of the navy are three classes of reservists.
 The Canadian army numbers 444 officers and 3,6o2 other ranks of the permanent force, and 6,212 of ficers and 40,104 other ranks of the militia.
 Military activities were not pop ular in Canada after the war and financial support was hard to come by. Officers of the militia were forced to forego pay and to spend private funds to support their regi- ments. Now, however, the vital importance of the militia is being

1929 the United States had the largest foreign trade of any single area in the world. By 1892, based on gold value, our percentage of the total world exports had dropped from 14.6 percent in 1929 to l2.2 percent. Our proportion of total world imports declined from 11.2 percent in 1929 to 9.5 percent in 1892.
 In 1886 our percentage of world trade was IA percent for exports and 109 for imports. This shows how our proportion of world ex- ports has decreased while our per centage share of world imports has increased to the detriment of our domestic industries and to the enhancement of foreign products.
 The figures show that our 1886 foreign trade position was i'm proved less than one-half of one percent over the 1882 level, but this improvement was due to the increase in imports since our rela- tive export condition is well below 1882. as is also the situation for 1937.
 The reciprocal trade agreement act, passed by rubber stamp Con- 'gress, gives the President power among other things to negotiate foreign trade treaties without the advice and consent of the Senate contrary to the United States Con- stitution; to raise or lower rates of duty 50 percent without definite standards established by Congress for such action; to fix the level of rates and to grant this preferential rate to all nations.

NAzIS WOULD BUILD CANADA
 OIL PIPELINE

CALGARY, Sept 24.-A German corporation, Tropicorp with head quarters in Berlin, has offered to construct a 1,000-mile Canadian pipeline and take oil in payment presumably for shipment to Ger many, it was said here.
 R. A. Brown, ST, of Calgary chair man of the Alberta Petroleum As sociation, said the offer was made by letter for the line to run from Calgary to Vancouver at cost of sixteen million dollars.
 He added that any action here would be predicated on discussion with Canadian and British authori- ties. Resources Minister Crerar said in Ottawa he had not been in- formed of the proposal.

WANTS PUBLIC HEARINGS

I am for a policy of real recipro- city but I am opposed to granting the powers of the present act to the President without restriction. It is giving him blank check on the very life blood of our industries and the working men and women of the nation The New Deal, through free trade" treaties, has sent millions of good American dollars to the worst sweatshops in the world, while many of our own industries are idle and millions of our own workers walk the streets in idleness and want.
 I believe the first act of the next Congress should be to provide that tariff rates shall not be reduced below the amount necessary to protect American producers. We should have mandatory public no- tice of commodities under consid- eration 90 days in advance of the negotiation of treaty. We should have mandatory public hearings before the same agency that nego- tiates the treaty.
 We should make it illegal to im- port any commodity, which is pro- duced in this country in a com- mercial way, below the average American cost of production. It is brutally and frankly true that the policy of this administration which has been followed has served only to worry business-big and little to block initiative and stop the expansion of industry.
