It is so seldom thesé days that we hear a good word for the Hawley-Smoot Tariff Law that we are constrained to print the following laudatory edi-| torial from the Railway and Mgrine News: The new flexible clause in the 1930 Tariff Bill is unique in the world’s tariff procedure. The clause of the 1922 Act did not work out to the satisfaction of either the United States Government or foreign countries for whose benefit it was intended as a court | of appeals. The present clause is declared to be more effective, in that the United States Tariff Commission has greater lati- tude in arriving at differences in costs of production as a basis of adjusting customs’ rates. If a foreign country believes that any of our tariffs are unduly high and prevent competitive shipment into the United States, it can present its case to the reorganized Tariff Commission which, in collaboration with the President, has the power, if the | complaint is justified, to rectify the rates. | This new proposal for dealing with such cases by a semi-judicial body is a forward | | day: |with a blare of bands, patriotic oratory and fraternal |steed fare long brewing and insidious in their operation. | tistics—they are not blazoned on the sky.

Quite too many Americans, with streamer head- lines of stock-market slumps still fresh in their minds, are convinced that the return of the halcyon of the Coolidge bull market is to be announced picnics—not to mention eight-column streamer head- lines in the daily papers of the land. Prosperity having “vanished” that way, they reason, it may be expected to appear full-blown out of the heaveas —the return of the Messiah of business on a golden This popular fallacy, which admittedly is exag- gerated here, is based on a misunderstanding of the nature of the business curve. Due to psychological factors, the downward trend of business activity is invariably spectacular, although the root causes On the contrary, the return of normal or better- than-normal business conditions comes more like the gentle dew from heaevn—gradually, almost imper- ceptibly, as consumption and production reach a wholesome equilibrium. We have been witnessing in recent months a readjustment of production and prices to the pro- portions justified by demand. The process has been rapid, in view of the enormity of the readjustment that has been necessary on a world-wide scale: | But the signs of renewed econmic activity are scattered, unspectacular, and are counterbalanced m‘ many minds by the hangover of pessimism. It: would be well if everyone could take into account | this peculiarity of the business curve and remem- ber that it is idle to wait for a grand gestuie| from the gods.

Harry F. Sinclair's Sinclair Consolidated Oil Cor- poration recently sold its half interest in the Sin- clair Pipe Line Company and the Sinclair Crude; Oil Purchasing Company to the Standard Oil Com- | pany, which owned the other half, for $72500,000. The half interest had cost the Sinclair corpora- tion $34,189,000. Its profit, therefore, was $38311,- 000. It is said that Sinclair has completed arrange- ments for pipe line and refining facilities without Standard Oil association. The transaction is receiving particular attention on account of the recent stock market crash and the general depression. It is regarded as evidence | that there is plenty of money in the country for big deals and that people have confidence in the | future. THE HU )DE HOOVER. Mr. Huston has finally resigned and is now ex- Chairman of the Republican National Committee. Thus terminated a. controvérsy that started six months ago and ought to have been settled in a month. The incident illustrates the ineptitude of Mr. Hoover for political leadership. The charge that Mr. Huston was a lobbyist for the Tennessee River Improvement Association, financed by power companies interested in Muscle Shoals, was first disclosed on Feb. 14 before *the Caraway Committee. On March 18 to March 20, #t was disclosed from the records of his brokers that Mr. Huston had collected $36,100 from a power company for propaganda and had temporarily de- posited the money in the .account which he used for trading on margin. Almost immediately twenty Republican Senators demanded the resignation of Mr. Huston. He refused to resign. Repeated de- mands from various Republican quarters for his AND MR. resignation he ignored. On June 8 he said he would | not resign except on President Hoover's demand. And it was not until the first week of July that he finally agreed to step out If Mr. Hoover thought the disclosures made by the Caraway committee were morally damaging or disclosed the necessity for a change as a matter of political expediency, why did he let the months slip by without indicating to his friend and personal appointee that it was necessary for him to resign? 1If, on the other hand, he agreed with the explanation of his other friend, Mark Sullivan, that for Mr. Hutson to lobby fdr the Tennessee River Improvement Association was just like lobby- ing for a local Chamber Commerce and that there was nothing irregular in Mr. money collected for lobbying purposes in his check- ing account where he could check it out as needed, why did he not give a clean bill of health and prevent suspicion and humiliation from surrounding of the National Committee Chairman for so many months? The confusion that has surrounded this case was wholly unnecessary, and if Mr. Hoover had been a decisive political leader it would have been cleared up long ago. Mr. Hoover had by his acts admitted responsibility in the premises. That he finally pick- ed Senator Fess, an excellent selection, to succeed Mr. Huston has been known for sometime.

Consider, for example, the books that are not on it.

How can any- ing a few such outlaws on it? Professor Lamont may reply, perhaps, that he was not making a list of his own favorite books but a list of great novels. But this is merely to say what we noted abov hat he is giving utterance to his critical faculty | rather than his personal preference; he tells us| what he knows he ought to like rather than what {he really does like. Possibly that is what makes any list of “great” works so stuffy. Unless it is ‘to seem silly and capricious, it must meet with general approval; and when general approval enters the aesthetic equa- tion, genuine personal preferences are lost. Gold.
