PHILADELPHIA, May 3.—A defense of the United States Tariff Commis- sion as & body free from poli- tics and responsible for administering the tariff policy of the country was voiced tonight by Dr. Edgar E. Brossard, chairman of the commission, in an a dress before the thirty-fourth annual meeting of the American Academy of Political and Soclal Science. The com- mission also was described by Dr. Brossard as an institution for fostering better international relations. If the Tariff Commission should sc- cept the advice of certain critics and determine the national tariff policy and should write the tariff bills, Dr. Bros- sard contended, the commission would be forced into politics. He suggested ]Jromulgltlon of a definite policy by the egislative body, based on the sclentific fact-finding of the commission. On the international phase of the ‘Tariff Commission’s work and the “pro- tests” filed against certain schedules of the Smoot-Hawley bill, Dr. Brossard de- clared: “It is quite natufal for other coun- tries to be interested when the United States revises the tariff law. The com- mercial policy of the United States is to treat all nations alike. Equality for all; discrimination against none; spe cial favors to none; that, in general, is the American policy. “The United States admits free of duty a greater volume of products than any other nation in the world, with the possible exception of Great Britain, ‘Two-thirds of all United States imports enter free of duty.” He declared that the United States gets the most-favored-nation treatment from 63 countries, and that only 3 gun:hfizu rI1Ve ;on !.mrlbl;‘:rel!mtnt other fore! countries n to the United States. Alfred Pearce Dennis, vice chairman of the Tariff Commission, told the academy tonight that the American economic policy was a “patch work of compromises, the result of jarring, con- flicting sectional interests. William C. Redfield of New York, former Secretary of Commerce, spoke today on the dependence of the United States on foreign trade for part of its economic success, Tariff-makers, Dennis said, have been compelled to subordinate the na- tional interest to the demand of lo- calities. “We are in & new era of American investment abroad. American capital in foreign enterprises is the ward of foreign governments under which they are established. If we breed antago- nism we may expect American business to be hopelessly harassed in the four corners of the globe and we shall have no recourse.” — BRITISH SHIPS CRASH Radio Station Reports Collision of Maine and Holywood.

A large audience attended and showed much appreciation of the two young girls who gave this initial program. Mrs. Martin A. Morrison, organizer and head of the club, announced that 60 standard classical composmom will be played during the current festival by the stu- dents participating. An innovation is the presentation of a guest speaker during the intermission in each program, which is divided be- tween the two young club members par- ticipating. Each club member gives a miniature recital, each of which con- sumes the better part of an hour. The speaker last night was Dr. Harvey Baker Smith, pastor of the church, who men- tioned particularly the remarkable tech- ‘Wical dexterity of each student. Four more programs are to be given in the current series, at which the speakers will be: Monday, May 5, Mrs. Lyman B. Swormstedt, club woman; Wednesday, May 7, Mrs. Dorothy De- Muth Watson, chairman of the Com- posers’ Club of Washington; Thursday, May 8, Mrs. J. M. Stoddard, president of the D. C. Federation of Music Clubs; Saturday, May 10, Mrs. Morrison, who will award the 1930 badge of honor to the 10 members. Other distinguished gusest have been invited to the recitals. The two club members participating last night were Kathryn Latimer and Kathryn Beck. Miss Latimer, presented by Alice Burbage Hesselbach, was giv- ing her first recital as & member of the club and won very marked applause for her efforts. Miss Beck, presented by Helen Corbin Heinl, gave her third re- cital under the club auspices in a festi- val series. She, too, was well received. Miss Latimer has a very pleasing light touch and her facile command of the arpeggios and runs in the solo part of Beethoven’s “Concerto in C. Minor” showed her at her best. She also played the Mozart “Sonata in A Major, No. 12, very well, especially the famous Turkish march that is the finale. Mrs. Hesselbach showed the richness of mature style and years of background in her playing of the orchestral part o{ the score of the Beethoven on second piano. ‘Miss Beck was at her best in the bril- liant work in the treble part of Lisat's “Hungarian Fantasy” in which Mrs. Heinl, like Mrs, Hesselbach, showed the finish in style and comprehension of musical values that a good teacher and experienced artist should possess. Miss Beck played all her numbers with dexterity. ‘The next pair of young pianists for tomorrow’s recital will be Leah Effen- bach, an Eastern High School student, to be presented by Arthur D. Mayo, and Glenn Carow, a very youthful pianist studying at the Institute of Musical Art, to be presented by B. Frank Gebest. The programs all start prompt- ly at 8 pm. Deans of Men Name Officers. FAYETTEVILLE, Ark., May 3 (®#).— Dean W. L. Sanders of Ohio Wesleyan University was elected president of the Anerican Association of Deans of Men at the closing session of the twelfth annual convention here today.

STEEL for IRON for the soul! GOLD for the pocket! These are the precious metals produced by the alchemy of sun, salt and surf at Atlantic City! and Vote on Conference Report Is Expected. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. The administration, feeling that it! must ultimately assume responsibility anyhow, is now engaged in trying to remove from the tariff bill its most glaring inequities. The House of Representatives is prov- ing responsive and flexlble The ad- ministration is really in control, and the prospects are that within a few days the conference report on the tariff wiil be completed and ready for final vote. ‘The most significant action taken by | either House since the conference began was the vote on Friday, whereby the House of Representatives receded from its position on the sugar schedule from a rate of $240 per hundred pounds originally adopted by the House to $2 per hundred pounds. It had been thought that the rate might be fixed at $220, but administration influence brought about the low rate. Prolonged Controversy. There has been a prolonged contro- versy over the sugar schedule, and at one time the Senate was prepared to retain the existing duty of $1.76. Cuba | as been very much disturbed over the | prospect of a prohibitive tariff, arguing | that the entire island would suffer an economic depression if Cuban products were shut out by the barrier of an American tariff. Billions of dollars of American money are invested in Cuba, and the purchases by the latter of Amertean goods are also considerable. This is by no means the end of the sugar controversy, for with the increas- ing production and low cost in both the Philippines and Cuba the producers within Continental United States are constantly on the anxious seat lest the competition destroy their business. The new rate is therefore a kind of compro- mise in the hope that some method later may be discovered to curtail pro- duction. House Cuts Rates. ‘The House of Representatives in its various votes on Priday generally revised the rates downward. This is contrary to what happened originally when the House put the rates up fairly high. Many of the rates adopted were still far below those of the Senate, ‘When the tariff bill is ally com- pleted, it will be found that the con- ference committee, aided by the House leaders, who in turn take their cue as a rule from the administration, will have written the new tariff bill. There is no disposition in either House to make a fight on any schedule. Members feel that they have made a record when the various schedules were debated and that they can point to the work of the con- ference committee in the final stages as something which could not be frus- trated without imperiling the passage of the entire measure. Senators and Representatives are anx- ious to get back home, as practically all of them will participate in some way in the Autumn campaign. With the tariff bill out of the way it would be difficult to maintain a quorum, and the prospects now are that Congress will adjourn about the middle of June. (Copyright. 1930).

Mr. Massey as the first minister Can- ada sent to this country, not only in- creased friendly relations as a Cana- dian whose ancestors were American, and who understood American institu- tions, but successfully negotiated a number of vexacious and trying diplo- matic problems, ‘The best known of these incidents was the I'm Alone case, in which relations were sorely tried following the sinking of the Canadian ship by an American Coast Guard cutter which followed it out of American waters. When it was learned that the ship, suspected of rum-running, bore a Canadian registry, the British Ambassador turned diplo- matic negotiations over to Mr. Massey. the first time the British had entrusted a matter of such importance to a Do- minion representative. Mr. Massey also transmitted the long line of communications between the two governments relative to the ship- ping of liquor across the border.
