can nations lies behind the ad-
acknowledgements measure
for razing all tariff barriers
against imports. The 1880 Haw-
ley-Smoot rates have prevented
an exchange of goods with sew
eral countries which remained
outside Cordell Hulfs reciprocal
trade orbit during peace-ume
years.
The bill was submitted as a
defense measure, but has more
far-reaching implications. Du-
ties would be removed from met
ais. foodstuffs and minerals nee
esssry in the rearmament pro-
gram, on which the United
States has been levying tariffs
that increase their cost to de-
tense industries. But there is
one peculiar paragraph which,
in the opinion of the senste's
high tariff bloc, would permit
permanent scrapping of duties
on all gooos, whether required
for defense purposes or not.
That section repeats provisions
of the reciprocal trade agree
ment law designed to protect
domestic industries.
The administration sought to
improve the chances of passage
by having Chairman Reynolds Of
the senate military affairs COM
mittee introduce the measure.
Normally It would have been
proposed and considered by the
senate appropriations committee,
which handles tariff matters.
But North Carolina Bob
spoiled the play by making per-
fectly clear that he feathered
the measure only by official re-
quest. The bill will encounter
bitter resistance from both DEM
oeratic and Republican protee-
tionists.

your dislike is based less upon

Ever since the revolution IL
has been the policy of the Amer

every fact regarding the Soviets
which does not coincide with
our established political and eco
nomic ideas and practices.
When the Moscow trials and
executions were going on our
press shouted to high heaven
that Stain was a bloodthirsty
monster who was bent upon de-
stroying every possible personal
rival. But recent events have
shown clearly that il would have
been better for the liberty and
independence of France, Spain,
Belgium and Norway had they
been wise enough to shoot the
life out OF their fifth columns
as Russia did before it was too
late.

OF Stain and his associates. il

REGARD HITLER WAR
SIGN or WEAKNESS

Washington's economists and
diplomats regard der fuehrer's
new war as sign of weakness
and desperation. For him to
take on gigantic Russia, while he
still has unfinished business in
the North Atlantic and the Med
iterranean. raises a hope that he
faces difficulties which he has
concealed from the outside
world.
The economists state the OBJ
vious ~ namely. that he lacks
vital supplies OF food, oil. metals
and minerals for a protracted
conflict. His Mediterranean
push has not achieved the de-
sired result in this respect.
Fierce and unexpected fighting

hoped for no resistance. deprived
