There isn't a state in the Union
that hasn't tried to protect its own
industries in some way by regulat-
ing the free flow of goods from its
neighboring states. There are no
tariffs within the United States;
but some of the discriminatory
measures enforced today are SO
close to being downright tariffs
that the difference is only tech
nical one.
Secretary of Commerce Harry
Hopkins recently suggested an in
er-departmental conference among
the Labor, Justice, States and Agri-
cultural departments and the Fed
eral Works Agency and the National
Resources Committee to see what
could be done about smoothing the
roads for interstate commerce. Mr..
Hopkins is fully convinced that exist
ing trade barriers, designed to guard
business men within state from
excessive competition, are doing
nothing toward the extension OF
trades
were erected around states when
the going began to get tough after
1929. A few of the states felt the
least they could do for their indus
tries was to take every possible step
within the limits of the Constitu-
ton to eliminate annoying compe-
tition from outside. That started
things.
If trucks from states A couldn't
get into state B without paying a
mileage tax, the only thing for
state B to do was set up its own
licensing or tax regulations for
outside trucks. Such control mea-
sures naturally affected states c
and D, also neighbors, and these
states found it necessary to regu-
late their out-of state influx.
An idea like that gets around.
Most states now not only have fees
and taxes to regulate truck Shipp-
ing, but many levy taxes directly on
farm and industrial products shipped
in from other states. A few states
have even levied taxes against the
products of specific neighboring
states in retaliation for restrictive
measures. A certain amount of con-
troll over shipping may be advisable
to safeguard health. Most devices
which have been set up ostensibly
for this purpose, however, go much
further The health angle is just
a convenient peg.
If committee under the federal
department is appointed to study
this intricate situation, painless
way of easing the commercial ten
sion may be uncovered. Much bet
ter would be action coming directly
from the states involved The mach
inery to facilities removal of barriers

A national conference, or series

might do the trick. 1t seems appar-

action must come in one fell swoop.
Many of the barriers could be re-

cases the restrictions are check

SURPRISED RUSSIA

Russia is perhaps the most surprised
nation in Europe today-surprised at the
unexpectedly successful resistance of
tiny Finland. Further than that, how
ever, Russia is quickly becoming the most
discredited nation in Europe. If she can
not conquer Finland quickly and easily,
how could she ever hope to be successful
in war against such a nation as Italy, or
Japan, or any others of the big powers.
Russia's invasion of Finland has taught
the nations Of the world lesson, but it
is not the lesson Russia intended to teach.
1t is too much to hope that Finland
can defeat Russia, but whether she does
or not, she has demonstrated the Soviet
weakness.

If he had stayed in there stub

failing faculties. the great first
baseman might by this time have
been seriously injured or so far have
undermined his health that recovery

AS it is, there seems reason to be-

by Mayo Clinic specialists will ar
rest the infantile paralysis that has
afflicted Lou and enable him to en-

But the real danger was at the

zinging past his head. A man needs
to duck almost instinctively when
fireball comes straight for the scalp
Inevitably one of them would have
dumped Gehrig insensible on the
grass. Perhaps Lou sensed his dan

He said they hadn't told him what

Louis present duties as field cap

amount to a rest cure. All he needs
do is put on his uniform daily and
present the Yankee batting order to
the umpire just before the game
starts. Also, he is privileged to
charge out and argue with the
arbiters on close decisions now and

that from now on.

Homer Topp|ing
Reds Gauge Of
His Power
Makes His Few Hits
Tell Heavily; Yonks
Better White Sox
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

There are a lot of persons who
think that Adolph Camilli, a squat,
stubborn truck horse with delusions
Of being a racer, is the best first
baseman in the National League
and possibly in all baseball. There
are others who do not-but this
group suddenly has lost lot of
members.
Camilli (and eight other Brook
lyn bumpkins) beat the Cincinnati
Reds last night, 81, and the decid-
ing blow was home run by Ca
milli in the ninth inning. Further
more, he capped his customary fine
fielding game with a spectacular
one-handed stab of a liner in the
same inning.
The Dodgers other run also was
a homer. by Tuck Stainback, and
gave Whitlow Wyatt his seventh vic
tory without defeat. The Dodgers
got only two other hits off Johnny
Wander Nicer, who struck out seven
and walked four. Wyatt yielded five
hits, but didn't pass a batter.
Makes Few Hits Count.
Camllli's circuit clout was his 18th
of the season, and brought his total
of runs batted in to A, although
his batting average is modest PTS.
Therein lies the paradox of Ca
mllll. In five full seasons in the Ma
tional League with Chicago, Phila-
delphia and Brooklyn his percentage
has fluctuated anywhere from last
years .25l to the previous season
.339, but his consistency as a power
hitter never has wavered.
He never has batted in less than
80 runs and last year. with his lowest
batting mark. he knocked in 100
runs, just two less than he produced
in 1886 on a .315 percentage and 20
more than in 1887 on his best per-
centage performance.
He has two failings. He is good
for 80 to 100 or more strikeouts a
season wander Nicer caught him
twice last night and he gives
Brooklyn its weirdest base running
since Babe Herman. The other
day he tried to 60 from first TO
