It has not been Presi- dent Hoover's business to say what he thinks of the Hawley-Smoot bill, and he has maintained silence about it with the single exception of his appeal for retention of the flexible rate pro- vision. But everybody knows that the measure, as enacted by the House and as approved, in essence, by the Senate finance committee, is miles away from Hoover’s idea of whag tariff revision at this time should be. ‘The President, in his message to the special session last April, recommended “some limited changes” in the industrial schedules and in the administrative clauses of the Fordney-McCumber law. ‘Wholesale Revision. Such wholesale revision of rates up- ward as the Hawley-Smoot bill proposes were never dreamed of by Mr. Hoover. He regarded them, and still regards them, with excepgions, s unnecessary, unreasonable and ‘injudicious. The President went as far as he could, in his special session message, to restrain Congress from enacting rates which would jeopardize our for- eign trade. He asked House and Senate to “take into account the broad inter- ests of the country as a whole, and such interests include our frade rela- ty that the White House views this sud- | completed soon, Farm Board an- nounced, at the same’ time expressing the hope \that co-operatives handling other commodities would foster a similar move. The new grain corporation will make use to the greatest extent possible of all existing farmer-owned grain-marketing facilities. The board said the organiza- tion would have adequate capital, and if given adequate support of farmer- owned grain co-operative associations will handle annually in excess of 500, 000,000 bushels of all grains. Method of Management. General and active management of the organization will be in the hands of a general manager, who the by-laws provide, shall be a person “acceptable to the Farm Board.” Chairman of the Farm Board announced in Chicago several days ago that approximately $100,000,000 would" be made availlable to the grain co- operatives. The Grain Corporation, the board believes, will provide a medium through which it can make loans to ‘marketing associations, both for 'nt marketing ?urposu and for the acquisition of physical facilities. Such an organization, it was said, should not only reduce local and terminal market- ing costs and eliminate waste, but also exert a strong influence toward ‘a greater market price stabilization. ‘The corperation, the board said, pro- vides a plan wher-by farmers m~v ex- tend thicr co-operative grain marketing on extensive scale into the domestic ter- minal and export markets. Comimittee Drew Papers. ‘The corporation is the result of three months’ study and work by a committee representing 36 farmer-owned grain co- operative associations. An organization committee of 16 representatives from these organizations created a subcom- mittee of three members, Sydney J. Cot- tington of Stanhope, Iowa: Clarence E. Huff of Salena, Kans,, and John Man- ley of Enid, Okla., to draw up the cor- poration papers filed today. ‘The corporation has an authorized capital stock of $10,000,000, and no patronage dividends will be distributed until the capital and surplus total $20,000,000.

People Take Notice. But what has agitated the country at large is none of these things. It was when Senator Bingham, Repub- lican, of Connecticut and “Old Joe" Grundy of Pennsylvania bounded sen- sationally into the tariff picture that the people in the States sat up and took notice. With that flair for the dra. matic and the sensational which is chgracteristic of our people, the Bing- ham and’ the Grundy incidents imme- diately appealed to their imagination. T’he Bln]lum bulslnugr t’;‘e‘d thelelbe;n:;lfi of complete novelty. superlobbying activities -of Grundy, prefldg:n of t Pennsylvania Manufacturers’ Associa- tion, were not so new, but they had never before been brought to public at- tention so graphically. Broad Revelations. A man calmly confessing to & Sen- ate committee that he had drummed up half a miliion dollars or more for thz | Republican party’s 1923 campaign chest, | in th> avowed expectation that it was bread cast upon the tariff waters. was a revelation. To most citiz>ns, Wash- ington politiclans assert, it is a shock- ing revelation. Already leaders of both parties are busily speculating about the likely re- sults of the Bingham-Grundy affairs. That these have materially lessened the prospect of tariff legislation at all is coming to be generally conceded. That they will play oc with Republican flmmu in the 1930 congressional elec- ons next year is almost as widespread a conviction. That the slender “regular” Repub- lican majority of six or seven in the Senate may be entirely wiped out is a contingency now being seriously reck- oned with. Stalwarts Up Again. The G. O.

CURTIS SAYS RADIO IS RESTORING HOME Vice President Gives Address at Washington Radio Show. | While many modern inventions are charged with taking people out of their homes, radio was praised last night by Vice President Charles Curtis in an ad- dress at the Wahington Radlo Show at the Mayflower Hotel as returning peo- ple to their firesides. It also serves, he said, to keep the American people in closer touch with their Governmert. His address was broadcast by the Na- tional Broadcasting Co. “We are hearing much these days to | the effect that modern inventions are | destro; American home life,” he | said. “This is not true of the radio. It holds a unique place in that it is re- turning us to our firesides, bringing to the home the best in entertainment and educational information.” Multiple Value. “While I belleve that entertainment always will be phramount in radio pro- grams,” he declared, “yet I also believe that radio is an indispensable medium for disseminating timely information and a means of instruction on topics of general interest.” Here the Vice President gave as an example the address of President Hoo- ver in connection with the light's gold- en jubilee in Michigan honoring Thom- as A, Edison. In Closer Touch. “Radio brings you in closer touch with your Government,” he continued. “Here in Washington are more than 60,000 Government employes, our Presi- dent, the cabinet, Senators, Repre- sentatives andl ‘others all working for ou. % “Through the medium of radio you are recelving reports from this great army of workers. You are learning something about their problems and their work. The President, when the occasion warrants, makes periodic re- ports to you.

Secretary Adams of the Navy ment outlined the purposes of the Navy and Navy day in an address over the same network. “One of the best reasons” why the country should have and maintain a Navy, he said, “is to assure the great ocean commerce of America against all danger of interruption or destruction.” The Navy, he pointed out, belongs to the Nation. and the use for which the Navy is designed and the manner in which it is maintained “depend di- rectly on the. intention of the owners.” “The main purpose of Navy day,” he declared. “is to direct the attention of the country to the Navy.” Another purpose, he said, was that the day re- mind- the country of the achievements of the naval service in the past.
