By the Assoclated Press. OTTAWA, Ontario, April 10.—Premier MacKenzie King, answering critieism of the government's position toward vontemplated teriff increases by the | United States, in the House of Com-‘ mons yesterday. .declared that “it is not | 50 much a red-blooded attitude we| want, but a cool-hcaded attitude, and} that is the attitude the government has | taken ever sincc it came into office, and is the attitude it intends to pursue.” He said he could concelve of no greater misfortuns than that the St.| (Lawrence waterway project should be mixed up in any way with the tariff question. Tariff Wall Agilation. | There hes been much agitation in the House of Commons for Canada to build a tariff wall against United States | products if proposed increases in the | United States egainst Canadian prod- | ucts are voted. i The premier said he felt the Cana- dian government should not take any action at this time with regard to the tariff which might be regarded as “provocative” by the people of the United States. “There are strong reasons,” the premier said, “why, in this session above 1] sessions. we should do as little as possible to change the tariff. I think that is the wisest course we can pur- sue. Next session we will, as I have slready caid, ceal with the situaticn as we find it at that time.” Objection to Amendments. The premicr especially objected ‘o | two amendments to the executive budget | which would have increased the Brit- ish preference.

Olive Tablets are purely a feasible, because it might be strued in the United States. “With respect to the tariff, as with respect to everything else,” the premier continued, “we should at all times seek to so conduct our discussions as not to create an atmosphere that is hostile, but, as far as we can, to preserve an atmosphere of good will between this country and our neighbor to the south.” PARENTS RESUME LEGAL | BATTLE OVER DAUGHTER | Florida Court Hearing Closed to| Public Because of Nature of Opponents’ Charges.

An inciplent war between the orch- ardists and the great fruit companies, which bring banenas up from South and Central American countries and place them, duty free, in competition with the apple, has resuited in a propaganda drive such as single items in the agri- cultural list seldom have known. The men who grow the apple a day that keeps the doctor away are de- termined to learn what it is that keeps an increasing number of people away from the appie. The culprit, they have decided, is the banana. Aroused by bumper crops, competition and prevailing low prices, tions representing apple grcwers are besicging Representatives and Senators to provide A tari impost on bananas, and the frult companies, some of which have numbers of ships in the banana trade, are countering with every argument and influence at their command. They Want No Bananas! Resolutions urging the tariff on ba- nanas have been delivered to members of Congress in increasing number since the House agriculture committee opened its hearings on the farm relief bill, ‘Washington headquarters of the larger farm organizations are recelving ba- nana-tariff messages. The States . of Washington, Oregon, Pennsylvania and urgent requests have come. ‘The psychology of the apple growers {is that if the price on bananas is raised | the housewives of the country will rein- troduce the apple to their serving tables in sufficient quantity to solve the prob- lem of marketing the fruit profitably.

Formally the position of the orchard- | ists was set forth before the House agri- culture committce during its recent hearings by Charles E. Durst of Chicago, representing the National Horticultural Council, with a membership of 45 horti- cultural organizations and a number of individual growers. “In the fruit industry the import situ- ation is very serious,” he testified. “We imported about 3,300,000,000 pounds of {fruits in 1927. The imports exceeded our exports of all fresh, dried and can- ned fruits by 1,200,000,000 pounds. About 923 per cent of the fruit imports entered the country absolutely free, so you can imagine the serious effect of the | | imports on the fruit industry. “In the fruit industry the greatest cingle problem at present is the tre- | mendous imports of duty-frec ba- nanas,” Durst testified. “The imports now reach 64,000,000 bunches a year. In 1927 the banana imports alone were more than 3,000.000,000 pounds and ex- ceeded our total fruit exports by more than a billion pounds. 7 “On the streets here in Washington.” | he testified, “you see fruit stands on nearly every corner.

C. Dill (Democrat) of| Wi n, whose State produces mor¢| commercial apples than any other, sees in the agitation for a tariff on bananas evidence of a trend away from the orig- inal concept of the tariff as a protec- tion to industry. “Some time ago chambers of com- merce in my State were asking our people to oppose a tariff on jute” hc| said. “The cotton growcrs wanted th: tariff so their product would be substi- tuted for jute in the making of bag- ging. But thz wheat growers in my State preferred jute bagging and op-| posed the tariff, Used to Raiss Prices. “Now_they are being urged by tho same chambers of commerce to fight for a tariff on b;,anas. In onc cnm-i munity the whea. farmers oppose the| tariff on jute and the apple growers; want it on bananas. i “It indicates to me the trend away from the original concept of the tarifl. Instead of protecting indusiry through | the effect of keeping out undesirable labor, the tariff is being used to in-| crease the price of a given product so; as_to bolster up a substitute.” | ‘The poor banana may have to take| on the Florida citrus growers, too. !

Beauti- Impassioned Notes From Stecle, " Vaudeville Singer, to Mrs. Inman Read in Court. By thie Associated Press. RENO, Nev., April 10 (#)—The im. passioned letters of John Steele, vaus ville tinger, to Helen Garnet Patton In- man again were read here yesterday at | the trial of the divorce case filed by her husband, Walker P. Inman of New York, son of Mrs. James B, Duke, widow | of the tobacco megnate. Portions of | the Ictters read by Inman's counsel ounded so ridiculous that Mrs. Inman as well as the jury laughed. Testifying that she purposely encour- aged Steele so that he would write the | letters, Mrs. Inman said she intended | they should be found by Inman. Her idea, she said, was to make her husband jealous and in that way force a return of his affections. The letters were taken from Mrs. Inman’s apart- ment by Beatrice Cooper, formerly a cook at the apartment, and turned over w:{nmm'l New York counsel.
