Let us have enough Of this hypoc-

Tariff
Suspension
is Opposed
BY ALEX H. SINGLETON

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 - up
Out in the open after a long
behind the-scenes struggle, the
Administrators efforts to push
through a bill authorizing war
time suspension of tariff regula-
tons today faced the possibility
OF stiff opposition from the Con-
gressional Farm Bloc.
A the House Ways and Means
committee began public hear
ings on the measure, Rep. Rob-
ertson (D-Va) flatly denied that
its passage would result in i'm
portation Of duty-free commodi-
ties which would compete with
domestic products.
Robertson, a member of the
committee, issued his statement
after other members, among
them Rep. jenkins (R-Ohio), re-
ported receiving mounting pro-
tests against the measure, par
ticularly from dairy, agriculture
and cattle raising sections.
1.-THE BILL" declared the Vir-
ginian, docs not confer upon
the President or anyone else
power to suspend tariff restric-
tons in a way involving compe-
tition with domestic products,
although it should be equally
apparent that war conditions
themselves have already solved
that problem, if one previously
existed. -
with respect to the importa-
ton of fresh beef, we could not
bring that in even if we wanted
to while the war lasts because
we now have q hopelessly made
quate supply of refrigerated
ships with which to transport
perishable articles to our troops|
in Africa and the Pacific.
I'm fact. refrigeration has all
ready been torn out Of many|
ships to increase their cargo ca
pacity, Notwithstanding the dire|
need of troops in the tropics for
items that can reach them only|
through refrigeration"
Robertson emphasized that
the special powers would end
automatically upon Dec. 31.|
1913, or with the end of the war,
and said that Congress itself
could terminate them anytime i'll
desired by joint resolution.
The committee ordered the
legislation subjected to public
yesterday after block
in, by a vote of 13 to z. an at-I
tempt to pigeonhole it for theI
rest of the year-a step which,
would have meant its Slow
death.
Jenkins said the committed

ings long enough to give people,

The best way to get ahead in

in his own country. Two of the

present indivatoins are that anoth-
err former Smyrna boy, few years
the senior of the above, Samuel H.
Baynard, of Wilmington, will be
selected for the representative
branch of the Republican ticket. If
this is so, it will be two Smyrna
boys pitted against each other in a
contest as to which shall represent
our metropolitan city.

vantage in acquiring knowledge.

Thanks very much for your let
ter George. 1t is mighty nice to
know that you are so well pleased
with life in general. Dribbles is
not going to disput your claim for
beautiful scenery, but if some of
The Boys out West read your let
ter, and don't lay a counter claim
for scenic splendor, it must be due
to the fact that their pen hands are
temporarily out of order. WE'LL

George, Dribbles feels that you
have been very fortunate in being
stationed in such a town as Bar
Harbor. No doubt in the world, the
smaller community life makes
everything more friendly for the
soldiers who are quartered on the
Cadillac Mountains. We are glad
that you are fitting into the scheme
of things so smoothly. The folks
back home will be pleased to know
this also. BY the way my friend,
don't get the filters if your letter
does not always appear in the COL
umn right on time. Mail is begin
ming to arrive in a fairly reasonable
volume-and naturally Dribbles is
elated to know that The Boys In
Service are writing more frequent
ly. This means, however, that at
times there must be hold-over of
letters for an issue or two, posi-
bly, three. On the other hand, you
may be assured that Dribbles will
always be glad to hear from you,
and that your letter will receive
the same careful attention that is
given to all communications from
Our Boys In The Service. The very
best of luck while on active duty
George, and write again in good
time. Dribbles was talking with
your Mother just few days ago,
she seemed in the very best of
health, but naturally it goes with
out saying, she missed you.
