He said: “It is very gratifying to know that Mr. Barnes, 8 long personal and politi- cal friend and partner of President ‘Hoover, has spoken so frankly to Amer- jea. In his formula, Mr. Barnes in- dorses at least two of the main Demo- cratic contentions fought for during the Jast three years. These are a fair and equitable tariff that would protect the American standard of wages, but ‘would at the same time promote a better un- ‘derstanding with other peoples and open markets for sale of our surplus products.

He said in part: “Beginning with the inaugural ad- dress of President Harding in 1921 in which he declared for ‘more busines: in Government and less Government in business’ those g economic }xwer in the United States have had ree rein. Under Harding, Coolidge an Hoover the entire policy of the Federa Government has been predicated upon the false premise that what was good for business was good for the country as a whole. The one definitz and un- uivocal _commitment which _the Chamber of Commerce seems willing to make is that they are opposed to any increase in income and inheritance taxes. “In other words, having led the country into the deepest depression in our existence these gentlemen now refuse to carry their fair share of the added burdens and responsibility of Government. Indications of Awakening. “Fortunately, however, there are in- dications of an awakening of responsi- bility on the part of industrial and financial leaders in this country not re- flected in the Chamber of Commerce attitude. It is significant for instarce that a committee of prominent indus- trialists of the American section of the International Chamber of Commerce had this to say: ‘Among a substantial froup of employers the doctrin® of aissez faire has been superceded by a | realization that unemployment is at least partially preventable.

No longer is it believ vast majority of jobless workers reached that unfortunate state through personal incapacity or sheer indolence.

Barnes far a re- duction in rates of duty in the Smoot- Hawley tarlff act as a means of {foreign trade and business recoyery in the United States. for American business today than a de- mand for another revision of the tariff by Congress,” said the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. Replying Barnes, chairman of the board of di- rectors of the United States Chamber i of Commerce, at the annual meeting of the chamber in Atlantic City yesterday, the Utah Senator said: tariff is responsible for the drop in im- | ports and asks for jts reduction. It | would be desirable that men of respon- sibility examine the facts before mak- ing such statements. If they did so. | they would find that the reduction of imports is due to the depression. Cites 1930 as Example. “Mr. Barnes need only examine any period before and since the passage of he tariff bill—for example, the last | half of 1930 compared with the last half of 1928—and he will find that the total imports dropped about $670.000.- 000, of which $400,000,000 was i free commodities and therefore not af- fected bv the tariff. i “Over $100.000.000 was -in dutiable luxuries, which were naturally affected | simply by decreased buying power. The drop in the balance of dutiable imports is affected which have affected free imports. and if the drop is greater in this minor segment of dutiable imports, it repre- sents employment to American work- men and the American farmer in time of great distress. “If Mr. Barnes would frankly present the situation, he would specify on what | commodities the tariff is too high.

STILLS Drinking Is Heavy in Capital | and Dry States, Declare Wets in Statement. The Capital's voteless citizens seem “to drink more energetically than cit- | izens of some States vote” according to the Crusaders, national organization op;rr‘wd to prohibition. | a statement issued last night, the Crusaders paint the Capital as a bib- ulous city, addicted to strong drink and foreign to virtue where prohibi- tion is concerned. The wet sins of the Capital, the organization claims, are visited ‘upon its neighbors, Maryland and Virginia, who are represented as smirched by the District tar brush. The Crusaders, found, they say, that “whisky production is decidedly under par in the wet sections of the United States, but is booming in the dry belt.” Their arguments, they claim, are backed by figures gathered from United States Government statistics. The statement is illustrated with “A Still Map of the United States.” Map Shows Stills Seized. ‘The map reflects the activities of | the Prohibition Bureau during the fis- cal year ended June 30, 1930, accord- ing to the Crusaders. The map bears | a_spotted face, each dot representing | 25 stills or distilleries captured by the Government during the year.
