Every one knew, including those Sena~ tors who have given the debenture clause active support for months, that this would be the final outcome of the struggle over this unsound and uneco- nomic proposal. Every one knew, too, that the debenture clause was written into the bill originally with votes of Senators who wished to embarrass the President and his administration. Had a Democratic President been in the White House, and had he opposed the debenture’ clause—as undoubtedly a Democratic President would have done— how many of the champions of the debenture on the Democratic side of the bill? While it is true that some of the champlons of debenture are hon- estly of the opinion that it is a wise plan for the aid of the farmers of the country, it is also true that these gen- Hemen are in the minority, and that others have “held the nose” and voted for debenture for political reasons alone. ‘The jockeying over the tariff bill and k p it §e 1] Eg | ! ¥ i i [ i | i 3 i § | ;l i il E8 L i § 8 § R £ ¢ % A Diplomatic Slip the course of & radio address on evening in an “international -t program of broadcasts,” Mr. Peter, the Minister of Switzerland this Capital, after pointing oyt that manufacturing and the export of manufactured goods constitute the chief source of Swiss national income, said: all these manufactured out concern that they heard, in Switzer- land, of the new American tariff with and almost prohibitive duties, which threatens to impair the economic relations of our two countries.

Minister Peter'’s ogense, if olfense there be, is by no means as grave as that of the British Minister in 1888, for the latter actually intervened in American political matters. It is only by unfavorable comstruction that the radio talk Sunday night can be con- ed. | sidered as an intrusion upon American domestic matters. However, the inci- dent illustrates the delicacy of diplomatic relationships. - No Such Issue. ‘The attitude of membgrs of the House.) foward the Senate’s proposed increase in the lump sum, as expressed yesterday by Mr. Simmons and Mr., Garner, is not surprising. Those who believe the world is flat are so antagonistic to the mere contention that it is round that the matter resolves itself to one in which the facts are relegated in favor of prejudice. It is surprising, how- ever, to hear from such an astute au- thority on District affairs as Mr, Sim- mons the statement that the increase proposed by the Senate will not help the taxpayers of the District of Co- lumbis, as the Senate already has agreed to the stipulation in the pend- ing District bill that the tax rate will not be reduced. Heretofore Mr. Simmons has made much of the point that the tax rate in the District will have to be increased, in order to finance the undertakings that the voiceless taxpayers of the Dis- trict have recommended, and impited- ly forced, upon the Congress. Mr. Sim- mons is the first, as far as known, to raise the issue that the Senate’s in- crease in the lump sum will not reduce the tax rate. There is no such issue. No one has said that it would reduce the tax rate. No one has argued that the Senate’s increase would be used to reduce the tax rate. The District has not sought the increased lump sum to reduce the tax rate. It has been sought to help finance, in some proportion that approaches equity, the enormously expensive semi-national projects that now are being thrown into the local supply bill ‘The argument that the Senate’s in- crease in the lump sum would not help the taxpayers of the District is ridicu- lous. The taxpayers are confronted with & program of large undertakings that grows bigger every year. If this program were confined strictly to purely local though that impossible—there would be merit Ex Hat 1 now President of the United States. But the roster is all-suficient to explode the theory that America has sat isolated and unconcerned while Mother Earth stewed in the juice of her tribulations.
