Hull Trade Program
Is Boon to L. S.,
Clark Tells Club

The Hull reciprocal trade agree
ment program is the most impor-
tant of the present administration,
Senator Bennett Champ Clark of
Missouri told the Woman's National
Democratic Club at dinner last
night at club headquarters.
Declaring the people of the United
States will be committing a Grim
inal error" if they permit this pro-
gram to lapse, Senator Clark de-
nounced the Hawley-Smoot Tariff
Act and excessive" national tariffs,
which, he asserted, are barriers to
free exchange, increasing the cost
of goods to the consumer, raising
competition between countries and
eventually causing war"
Beginning his address with con-
demnation of prohibitive tariffs, the
Senator gave a brief history of the
origin of the word tariff
1T was taken from the name of
q town, Tarifa," he said, ION the
coast of Africa, the hiding place of
pirates, who waylaid ships and stole
their cargo. 1t became the custom
for vessels to make up a list of what
they carried and pay tribute to the
robbers to prevent being robbed"
Laughter followed the Senator S
statement, ut took a red-headed
Democrat named Thomas jefferson
who didn't believe in being robbed,
to have frigate built and sent out
with the order, Blow the pirates out
of their hole"
Scoffing the contention that tariff
barriers protect the farmer, the Sen
ator added: Tariffs prevent us
from selling as much as we can pro-
duce. From the nature of his prod
uct and difficulty of control of pro-
duction, the farmer suffers far more
from such conditions than any other
class"
A thrust was made at financiers
and industrialists in the Senators s
declaration that "one of the most
colossal fakes in the history of this
country is the agitation being put
out by Wall Street operators, tex
tile manufacturers, steel barons and
other longtime beneficiaries of the
old prohibitive tariff system, al
legedly on behalf of the farmers
The very interests which have for
decades plundered and impoverished
the farmers now suddenly appear as
the champions and benefactors OF
those same farmers"
Senator Clark was introduced by
Mrs. D. Tucker Brown, president
who presided at the dinner, attend
ed by over 10 members and guests.

In it's story of the puppet who is given life without a conscience there is more than meets the eye - a moral for those who want one. But with or without the lessons it offers, 'Pinocchio" is an imaginative story integrating the real with the fantastic, casting human truth, there is Blue Fairy, for Diseny's fantasy has the faculty of expressing life as you wish it were. One is liable to forget such beauty exists only in the realm Of imagination.
