Following this_interchange Minister Pestkovski thought it high time that some shrewd diplomacy be employed to ease the strain. His method was simple. In a public statement issued two days after the Calles rebuke, Pestkovski told correspondents that it had all been a regrettable mistake, that Tchitcherin had not intended to imply for & moment that Mexico might be construed as a paw of bolshevism. Error in Trancmission Blamed, He said in part, speaking through his first secretary, Victor Volinski, an agree- able member of the legation staff of that period, that “neither his govern- ment nor he had ever pretended to make use of the influence of the Mexican government or of the labor organizations to develop any specific policy. “In order to demonstrate that Com- missar Tchitcherin had no idea of wounding the sovereignty of Mexico, I should point out that Senor Basilio Vadillo, Mexican Minister in Russia, said upon his arrival in Russia, ‘both revolutions, the Russian and the Mexi- can, had similar roots and resulted from the same cause. The aims and ideals which prompted those revolu also appear to me to be anal ‘When Dr. Makar arrived later, he was agreeable personally, but worked swiftly in setting up sympathetic contacts in Mexico. He is sald to have organized Flexible Provision and Debenture Plan Hold Center of Stage in Tariff Fight (Continued From PFirst Page.) rich manufacturers who had made large campaign contributions. ‘That_is the argument in opposition to the President having this power. Turn now to the objections to Con- gress having this power. Suppose the Tariff Commission sent to Congress a recommendation that the tariff on, let us say, shingles, be raised —shingles or any other one commodity. (It is in the form of one commodity at a time that the recommendations of the Tariff Commission would come to Congress.) ‘Would Congress raise the tariff? The answer is no. Shingles (and the same applies to bricks, or shoes, or almost any other commodity) are manufac- tured in a very small area. The num- ber of members in the House repre- senting this area, or Senators in the Senate, is very small. These members and these alone would vote to raise a tarifft on a single commodity. Every other member and Senator coming from districts or States not manufacturing shingles would think of themselves as representatives of consumers of shingles and as such would not want to go on record as having voted to raise the tariff on them. “Log Rolling” Enters. This is the same as saying tariff can only be raised by a lo? rolling process. It is the same as saying that the tariff can only be raised by the wholesale process, by a general revision in which several commodities are em- braced and in which, therefore, large numbers of mf!‘fll!lfl\'e‘s and Sen- ators have stakes. Only by pooling their respective interests on a basis of one-for-all and all-for-one is the rais- ing of the tariff accomplished. ‘What is said on this point is, of course, judgment only, because we have never had any experience with a Con- gress dealing with the tariff one com- modity at a time. But it is sound judg- ment and thoughtful persons agree with it. Changing the tariff one schedule at a time would be the end of protection. To see the end of protection would please some g:mnm But in fact the process described above would not hap- pen. What would happen may be de- scribed thus, The Tariff Commission would send to Congress a recommen- dation that, let us say, the tariff on shingles be Taised. Thereupon, Senators coming from a State manufacturing cement would add an amendment pro- viding that “the tariff on cement be raised. Other Senators coming from States manufacturing bricks and from States raising sugar and from States making steel would in turn add their amendments. Promptly we should have & general tariff revision. Congress Is Congress, I should add at once that the pro- posers of this new plan deny that each separate recommendation of the Tariff Commission would be the beginning of a general tariff revision by Congress. They undertake to provide, by resolu- tion, that only one schedule at a time should be considered. But at this per- sons experienced with Congress emit loud hoots of derision. No one Congress can bind the next Congress by any reso- lution. And Congress is Congress.

Indicative of the far-reaching effect of the bolshevik machinery, when the Soviet house was raided in London, on May 26, 1927, press dispatches from the British capital stressed the fact that among the evidence procured was & list of Soviet agents in Mexico and Central America. In the middle of March, 1927, Com- munist propaganda in Mexico reached daring proportions. A Russian-made motion picture, “La Bahia de la Muerte” (Death Bay), was extensively announced throughout Mexico City on billboards that read in part: “Boishe- viki propaganda authorized by the Mexican government.” The police stopped the showing of | the film and arrested the owner of the theater. The picture showed Czarist officers forcing a political prisoner to “walk the plank,” with a heavy weight attached to him, to drop to his death in_the bay below.

Sheffield. compromise proposal. It was brought forward a few weeks ago by Congress- man Davenport of New York State and was meant, undoubtedly, to be a way of settling the difference between House and Senate on this point. By the compromise proposal the power would be ingeniously divided. The President would, on the usual rec- ommendation from the Tariff Commis- sion, decide to change a rate. But the President’s proclamation would not take effect at once. It would lie before Con- for 60 days. During that period gress could veto the President’s ac- tion. If Congress should do nothing the new rate would go into effect at the end of the 60-day period. WHEAT OWNERSHIP . IS CONFUSED ISSUE | Filing of Bankruptcy Petition Raises Question—Was Purchased With U. S. Funds. By the Associated Press. MINNEAPOLIS, March 8.—Owner- ship of 103,000 bushels of wheat pur- chased by the Farmers' National Grain Corporation, agency of the Federal Farm Board, was in doubt today as a result of the filing of a voluntary peti- tion in bankruptcy of the Continental Grain Co. of Minneapolis. The company filed the petition in the United States District Court yesterday by order of its board of directors. The wheat, valued at about $120,000, was recently purchased with Government funds under the Federal farm aid act and stored in the company’s elevator. ‘The Minneapolis Tribune today states that ownership of the wheat is in doubt because the warehouse receipts showing ownership have been hypothecated with the Northwest National Bank here as security for loans by H. A, Murphy, in his capacity as president of the com- pany. INDICTED MAN SEIZED. $550,000 Embezzlement Suspect Arrested in New York. SAN FRANCISCO, March 8 (#).— Elmer J.
