Conodions Consider Reto|iotory Tariffs

slapping retaliatory tariffs on Amer
lean goods.
Trade experts here admit that
higher tariffs on American goods
wouldn't hurt United States pro-
ducerS nearly as much as higher
United States tariffs would hurt
Canadian producers. In an exchange
of economic punches it would be a
battle between a Goliath and
David without slingshot. Then too.
retaliatory tariffs wouldn't directly
affect the New England fishermen
and Western American zinc and lead
interests who are urging restriction
of competing imports from Canada.
AS an alternative, it's been sug-
gested that the Canadian govern
ment put stiff export tax on things
like newSprint, asbestos and nickel
which the United States gets mainly
from Canada. But such action might
encourage American consumers to
turn to substitute products.
With no ready solution to the
problem, the Canadian government
is trying to convince Washington
that discrimination against Cana
dian goods isn't in Americas long
term interest. Ottawa is emphasizing
that Canada is Americas closest
ally, greatest market and flrmeSt
friend. To restrict imports, Ottawa
argues, would be to weaken Canada
militarily by weakening it economi-
cally, to reduce Canadians ability to
buy American goods, and to curdle
a warm friendship.
In other words. says Prime Minis
ter st. Laurent to President Eisen-
hover what's q few million dollars
worth of ash and metals when so
much Is at stake?

OTTAWA-The idea that Canada
should increase tariffs against
American goods if the United States
further limits imports from this
country is being talked up in Canada
despite the governments GOODNESS
toward the suggestion.
Retaliation is being urged specif-
ically if President Eisenhower i'm
elements recommendations OF the
United States Tariff Commission
that imports Of lead, zinc and GER
tain seafish fillets be restricted to
protect American producers. Canada
has been selling the United States
about SOS millions worth OF these
fillets and metals Q year, and can
not afford to have its sales cut.
because already this year the bal
ance of Canadian-American trade
is about three to two against this
country.
Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent
admitted in Parliament that the
government is very much con-
cerned" over the tariff commissions
advice, and that he is confident "the
President will take into account the
wider considerations involved, in
GLIDING the repercussions on friendly
countries"
Trade Minister c. D. Howe said he
did not expect q Canadian-Ameri-
can trade war as long as both coun-
tries remembered their mutual
strong interest in trading on
neighborly basis.

publisher-Guy Lincoln smith-to
the Senate.
Mr.. Sanders promptly went to
washington and used his influence
with the Republican leadership to
see that Senator Shields was not
appointed to the Supreme Court.
Thus there was no Senate seat open
to Gov. Taylor to pass on to Mr..
Smith.
The same Guy Lincoln Smith to-
day is chairman Of the State Repub-
lican Executive Committee and ed
itor of the Knoxville Journal. He has
been doing his all to promote Mr..
jenkins for Senator. He inspired the
Draft jenkins" move the State
committee has in progress. and it
is thought that it was also Mr..
Smith who brought about Mr.. Jen-
kinS' appointment as special counsel
in the Army Carthy hearings.
Senator Dirksen'S daughter is the
wife of Representative Howard Bak-
er'S son. Representative Baker serves
the Knoxville District in Congress.
While Senator DirkSen was in Ten
nessee visiting his daughter, Son-in-
law and grandchild, the idea struck
him to nominate Mr.. jenkins for
special counsel to the subcommittee.
There are those in Tennessee who
believe that the idea may have been
planted in Senator Dirksen's mind
by Mr.. Smith through Mr.. Baker.
Hopeful Challenger
If there is any way Mr.. Smith can
get Mr.. jenkins into the senatorial
race, he can be counted upon to
challenge the winner Of the Demo-
cratic battle between Senator Ke-
fauver and Representative Sutton.
Mr.. Sutton, of course, wants to hold
the anti-Kefauver forces in his camp.
But the Kefauver opposition in
Tennessee would have little COM
junction about party lines If it were
thought possible to unSeat the New
Deal Democrat. They would not hes
itate to back Mr.. Jenkins in pref
erence to Mr.. Sutton, even though
Mr.. Jenkins is q Republican, If it
was concluded that Mr.. jenkins had
a better chance to unSeat Senator
Kefauver. But at this point. it ap-
pears doubtful If he has that
chance. Previous attempts have
failed when the issues were sharper
than those Of 1854.

Debt Limit
Lost Years Emergency Looks Reel Now,
But Congress Drugs Feet on $500 Billion
By Anne Sofchik

The national debt limit "emer-
gency" which President Eisenhower
reported to Congress a year ago.
seems likely now to be heading
toward a genuine emergency. But
the Senate, up to its ears in the
session-end rush, seems no more
interested in the Presidents recon-
mended rescue move today than it
was last year.
The problem is this: Federal
spending has pushed the national
debt almost to the legal limit of $275
billion. President Eisenhower wants
Congress to boost that limit by SIS
billion so he can borrow enough to
meet the mounting bills. The Senate
Finance Committee, however. has
been telling him in effect to spend
less and stay under the existing
limit.
Still Trying
Treasury officials have not given
up hope for a lifting Of the ceiling.
They are waiting for the Senate
Finance Committee to complete
work on the HouSe-paSSed general
tax revision bill before they step
up the pressure for q change in the
limit.
Meanwhile, the national debt fluc-
tuates from day to day, with the
recent trend upward. On March 81,
that part of the debt subject to the
$275 billion ceiling stood at $269.8
billion. On April 80, it totaled $270.6
billion. BY May 20. $272.6 billion.
And last Tuesday, $272.9 billion, only
$21 billion short Of the limit.
On July 80 a year ago, less than
q week before the 1858 session Of
Congress ended, President EiSen-
hover asked the lawmakers for a
SIS billion boost in the debt ceiling.
The deficit then stood at $272.5
billion. Next day the House passed
a bill to raise the debt limit to $3.50
billion, but on August l, the Senate
Finance Committee voted to shelve
the measure until the 1854 session
of Congress.
Without specifying any amount,
the President renewed his request
for q debt limit increase in his
January 7, 1854, state-of-the- Union
address, and in his January 81, 1854,
budget message, when he said, 1T
is not prudent to operate the huge
business of the United States Gov
eminent in such straitjacket as
the present debt limit"
Poking at Ceiling
The size of the national debt de-
ponds on the balance between
Federal income and outgo. Making
allowances for revenue losses from
the January l drop in individual in
come taxes, expiration of the excess
profits tax, and his new tax pro-
posalS, President Eisenhower had
estimated that in fiscal 1855. start
ing this July /, Federal receipts
would total $62.7 billion, while out
lays would amount to $685. billion
This, he estimated, would result in
a deficit of $2.9 billion, and a pub
lie, debt of about 1913 billion at the
close of fiscal 1855.
Apparently he expected the debt
at the end of this month to stand
at about $270 billion. It looks now
as though his estimate may have
been short. If true. then his hopeful
guess that he could scrape through
in the coming fiscal year will be
proved wrong.

 Alaska's Mentally Ill
 The Interior Department has promised fairly soon" it's long, delayed report on Delegate Bart let's bill to provide a new proce- dure for the voluntary and in- voluntary commitment and treat ment of Alaska's mentally i'll.
 Many individuals and organ izations in Alaska have written to Congressman John P. Saylor, chairman of the subcommittee considering the legislation, in such a way as to make it appar- ent that there have been miscon- captions in certain quarters that action on the bill has been de- layed because of his subcommit- tee. The delay, however, has been caused by the Interior Depart ment's failure to submit it's report to the subcommittee. Congress man Saylor stated this week that he considers the bill "one of the must pieces of legislation in the second session of the 83rd Con- gress."

Here Are Some Farmers Who
Do Something About Weather

JOHANNESBURG, April 90
(NANA).-Fruit farmers in a
South African valley are credited
with achieving a scientists
dream-controlling the weather
with rockets. Each time hail
storm threatens their crops, the
farmers at Longkloof in the
Eastern Cape rush into their
orchards and fire at the skies.
According to reliable eyewit-
nesses, gathering hailstorms
have turned into harmless rain
clouds and, within minutes, blue
sky has replaced darkness.
So far this year the farmers
have fired over 200 rockets worth
$14 each and have never missed
the target. Spending $4,000 on
rockets is cheap" one farmer
said. "Six years ago a violent
hailstorm laid waste a $4,000
apple crop in this valley"
1t was after this catastrophe
that the farmers consulted a
neighbor. Prof. j. H. Kritzinger,
inorganic chemistry lecturer at
Stellenbosch University. Year
