But. -if we are to earnestly predicate our views | upon renunciation of war as an in. strument of national policy, if we are to set standards that naval strength is| purely for defense and not for aggres- sion then the strength in fighting ships required by nations is but relative to that of other powers. All nations as- sent to this—that defensive needs of navies are relative. Moreover, other | nations concede our contention (or‘ parity With these principles before us, our | problem is to secure agreement ong | nations. that we shall march together | toward reductions in naval equipment. Despite the declarations of the Kel- logg pact, every important country has since the gigning of that agreement bsen engage: strengthening its naval arm. We are still borne on the tide of competitive bullding. Fear and suspicion dizappear but slowly from the world. Democracies can only b- led to undertake the burdens of increasing naval construction by continued appeal to fear, by constant envisaging of pos- | sible, conflict, by stimulated imaginings | of nattonal dangers, by glorification of | never | war. Fear and suspicion will tlacken unless we can halt comperittv, censtruetion of arms. toward actual reduction. “Yardstick” Must Be Found. But to arrive at any agreement| through which we can, marching in company with our brother nations, secure reduction of armament, we must find a rational vardstick with which to make reasonable comparisons of their | naval units with ours and thus main- tain an agreed relativity. So far the world has fafled to find such a yard- stick. To say that such a measure cannot be found is the counsel of despair, it is a challenge to the naval authorities of the world, it is csr;:ldemnmon ot the world to men The present admimstration of the United States has undertaken to ap- proach this vital problem with a new program. We feel that it is useless for us to talk of the limitation of arms if tuch limitetions are to be set so high as virtvally to be an incitement to increase armament. The idea of limi- tation of arms has scived a useful pur- pose. It made possible conferer in which the facts about national aspira tions could be discussed frankly in an the atmosphere of friendliness and con- | ciliation. Likewise the facts technical problems involved and the relative values of varying national needs have been clarified by patient com- parison of expert opinions But etill the net result has been the building of more fighting ships. There- fore we believe the time has come when we must know whether the pact we have signed is real, whether ws are condemned to further and more exten- sive programs of naval construction of the Limitation upward is not our goal, but | actual reduction of existing commit- ments to lowered leveis.

By the Associated Press NEW YORK. May 30 —The New York Times today said that John J. Raskob, national chairman of the Democratic party, has reduced the party's deficit from $1,500,000 to $350,000 by calling upon the guarantors of th> Smiih presidential campalgn to make good heir pledges This wes learned last night after a conference of party ieaders et which plans were disenssad for strengthening the erganizaticn in the different States for the eongressional campaign next year Claim Concternation Spread. The call upon the campaign under- writers was understood to have been made by Mr. Raskob on his own initia- tive and to have caused consternation among some of the guarantors, who had signed the pledges as a matter of form and had not expected to be called upon to make them good. The guaranty list was made up two weeks before eiection, when funds were running short at Democratic head- quarters, The guarantors were asked to pledge themselves to underwrite any deficit on a budget of $4,000,000. Con- tributions during the last few days of the campaign were said to have as- sured this sum being met. but the cam- paign eventually went over the budget and cost 45.500.000. The Times sald Mr. Raskob was un- derstood to have incurred these addi- tional expenditures without consulting his colleagues at headquarters, and some of the guarantors were sald to have expressed considerable resentment at_being called upon to make good a deficit which resulted from exceeding the budget Some Doubt Liability. Doubt was exprassed by some of the cuarantore that thev were legally lia- ble in view of the budget having been exseeded, but as virtually all of them are personal friends of Mr. Smith. they decided litigation would be impossible and agreed to pa In previous Democratic campaigns it was said underwriters were not called upon to make good their pledges, but that the deficit was left to bs borne by the party at large at the next na- tional campaign. The largest, contributors to the fund to reduce the deflcit were Mr. Raskob, William F. Kenny and Lieut. Gov. Her- bert H. Lehman of New York. each of hom was said to have contributed £150,000 in addition to large sums given during the campaign Others who were on the guaranty were Bernard M. Baruch for $50.000 Michael J. Meehan for 875,000 or $100.- 000 and James J. Riordan for about an equal amount. In addition to the money obtained from ths guarantors $150.000 was realized from sale of the campaign speeches of Mr. Smith, Shouse Is Present. It was understood that at the con- ference it was decided to go ahead with plans for the congressional campaign on the theory that sufficent funds would be available. The conference was attended by Mr. Raskob, Jouett Shouse of Kansas, recently named chairman of the execuiive committee; former Sen- ator Peter Goelet Gerry of Rhode Is- land and Representative Parker Corning | of Albany. The presence of the latter gave rise to an unverified report that he would become chairman of the con- gressional campaign committee, MAYOR AND TEN OTHERS INDICTED FOR CONSPIRACY Payment en Bewer Contract Is Basis for True Bills Found by Boedy.

Increase in Customs Duties ‘Threatens Disaster #o Trade.' —— | BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Passage of the Hawley tariff bill by hs House of Representatives, with the prespect that the Senate may boost 1ates even higher, foreshadows serious clashes between the United States and 16 or more foreign governments, While | thr ways and means committee was | fathioning the h'ghest tariff system ever proposed in American history. no | fewer than 13 different countries launehed formal protest at the State Department. Each and all of them | represented that the projected increases {in American customs duties threatened | disaster to their trade in this country. | In one or two cates Ambassadors and | Ministers left little doubt with Secre- | tary Kellogg. and Iater with Secretary | Stimson. that if the econtemplaied | changes in our tariff should actually be | enacted, reprisalz would be aimost in- | | evitable. Reprecentations on this scor ! were particularly pointed from Argen- tina and Cuba. | The countriss which have officially | — informed Uncle Sam that the Hawley tariff gravely irks them are ArgentinA, | Canada, Great Britain, Australia. Tur= | key, Persta, Cuba, Spain, France and Bermuda. Three other countr! | registered protests against the levying of a tariff on bananas, which, was pro- posed in the interest of Oregon apple growers. But ths wavs and means! committee did rot listen to the Ore-! gonian suggestion that keeping out| bananas would whet the Ameriean ap- petite for apples, 8o the Central Ameri- | can frujt industry escapes the blight of the Hawley bill, Argentina Much Disturbed. | | Argentina ix in a state of high| dudgeon over the damage it is intended to visit upon her important exports to | the United States.

There is a plain implication that a | boycott of American goods in Argentina may ensue. It is the United States’ best | customer in Latin America. buying twice as much from us as we buy from | the Argentinians. The 100 per cent in- | crease on beef is especially obnoxious | | to them, mnou,ln the higher rates on | | wool, corn and flaxseed are hardly less serious. One-third of all Argentinian sales to this country consists of flax- | seed, which i3 the basis of American | linseed ofl proéuetion. | Canada has formally warned the | State Department that she would be in no mood to give further considera- tion to her end of the Great Lakes-8t. | Lawrence waterway unless the Domin- | ion receives a square deal from the United States with regard to tariffs on | Canadian farm produce and fish. The Hawley bill holds out slender hope on | these scores to the Canadians, despite | the fact that they are far and away | the greatest buyers of American goods in the world. Canada is vitally hit by | | the higher duties on farm produce and | ‘au products Iike cattle. lard, milk, | cr | and other articles.
