AVOID TARIFF FIGHT

Accordingly, instead Of a rough
drag down tariff fight. it would
be desirable 10 solve the dilemma
in an atmosphere of national
unity.
Perhaps the mood of this
Congress for independence and
for a restoration of its preroga-
tiveS could be achieved through
extending the trade agreement
program for new term, with
the proviSo that hereafter trade
pactS with a foreign government
should be regarded as treaties
and should be submitted to the
Senate for ratification. Another
proposal is that a fact-finding
tariff commission be authorized
to- set aside any details in trade
agreements which come into
conflict with congressional laws
or existing treaties. Another sug-
geStlon is that the trade packs
be subjected TO review by the
courts.
AS a matter of fact. the issue
is not over the reciprocal prin-
clple. which has considerable
support in both major parties
The conflict is over the policy of
the state department in gen.
eralizing tariff concessions, made
10 one nation as a result of
Yankee trading To all other
friendly nations. If Congress
wrote into the new law a pro-
vision to prevent such automatic
generalization of tariff reduc-
lions, it would take care of much
of the opposition.

ArmOry Gathers Bulkeley Cagers

John Kosmer Balentine (not he of the brew) scholastic pedagogue, entrepreneur of Bulkeley athletic intercourses and political crusader from the New London Y. M. c. A., has an Electric Boat sports dilem- ma.
 Since time now almost immemo- rial, all E. B. hoop teams in gener- al and Diesel cagS clubs in partic- ular, have used the Tiger court for their games, preferring this to the dime store pie plate surface at the Y, where one could broad jump the side lines.
 Prior to the Boatmen using the Tigertown court. they used the Y fon their league, as well as their big visiting club games. They nev- CT used the Armory floor. although many of the E. Ber's. as kids in high school jig sawed the boards.
 After the hurricane had cleaved part of the egg crate like structure, any thoughts dissatisfied cagemen at the Y had of using the armory. were shattered as completely as poets meditation in a boiler fac tory.
 Shrieks of high tariffs on their ball games were issued by many but they couldn't stage New Lon don Tea Party because, the damn able failure of the Elecric Boat management to help get the Ocean Beach Auditorium gave them a haunting jab like mad ghoul.
 With the armory damage finished by Joe St. Germain, the Diesel cage crowd can't get out of Bulkeley fast enough. Unless our good friend J. K. goes on hunt in the pantry for recipe, Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard won't even have bone for Arthur Shurts and Benevolent Fred Mercer to clutch near their. tallowy chests. Bal isn't Q bad number at all and we hope he uses few mirrors with the above. Bull kelley can afford to give @ few breaks even though 1t might hit Benevolent Fred's idea of sports manship.

Trojans Receive Rancid Publicity

Bad publicity doesn't do any club a world of good and this goes for the unhearlded, taken for granted also rams. the E. B. Trojans.
 Tn the beginning of the season, the men of Troy were advertised throughout the yard and in the daily blabS, as playing the Pep's Flashes from up Norwich way. When the night of the game came. other then the upstate gang were lined up against the Trojans.
 Such an occasion is uncalled for: the incident a damnable punch in the shoot. These shouldn't be al- lowed to continue. It's bad for basketball and a black eye to q bunch of kids who don't make a cent playing, but get out there and toss there torsos around because they like the sport.

The outstanding demonstration of this half of play still goes to the league president, MT. George Mark, when he opened the season with that miraculous strike on the first ball.
 It is rumored that the dark horse team to watch in the second round is the painters outfit. According to Captain Thorpe. the rest of the league will be blacked out when these painters start skipping 1t on.
 A great amount of the hidden honors go to the teams further down on the ladder of winning points, who are there every week pinning away with as much en- thusiasm and noise as the teams with the greater number of points under their belts.
