Nostrums for Moths “Moth - controlling agents, costing ridiculously small sums to make, are marketed at gross profits on the cost of ingredients ranging from 2,000 to 200,000 per cent. A whole family of these nos- trums revolves around the principle of filling a closet or bureau drawer with an exhalation presumably ob- noxious to moths. None of them is effective under the conditions for which they are recommended. One of the family advertises “Ab- solute protection from moths—perfect security for your clothes.” Cedar clothes WATSON ANSWERS | BARNES ON TARIFF Senator, Defending Law, Asks if Greater Imports I Would Aid in Crisis. A vigorous defense of the Hawley- Smoot ‘t’;rlfl law was made last night by Senator Watson of Indiana, Repub- lican floor leader of the Senate, reply- ing to Julius Barnes, who Saturday had mae a plea for lower rates before the United States Chamber of Commerce. In a formal statement, the Indiana Senator asked Mr. Barnes if he thought greater importations would have helped employment in this country, and also asked him to specify the changes he would make in the law. Imports and Idleness. closets, They are of little, if any value.”—From “Your Money’s Worth,” by Stuart Chase. But Security CERTIFIED COLD STORAGE has been providing absolute protec- tion for over 35 years for millions of dollars’ worth of furs, garments, rugs, tapes- tries, etc., and at very mod- erate cost. $2 and upward, according to value, for fur coats; $1.50 for suits, $6 for trunks of medium size, d4c rer #q. ft. for rugs (including cleaning). All rates are for the season of six months or less and include cartage. Becurity Storage 1140 FIFTEENTH ST A SAFE DEPOSITORY FOR 40 YEARS CAASPINWALL . PRESIDENT “Last year,” Senator Watson sald, “we imported into the United States three billions of dollars’ worth of foreign products, and we had millions of idle workmen in America. Mr. Barnes takes the position that if we had imported twice or three times the amount we did, all of those American laboring men would have been put back to work and | would have had full employment. “Let me remind Mr. Barnes of a few essential truths: “Pirst, that 66 per cent of all we bring into this country comes in free.| There is no way to lower the tariff on those products. Nothing can be freer than free, unless Mr. Barnes wants to pay a bonus to our foreign competitors who sell to us. “Second, we import over $200,000.000 of luxuries, which everybody admits | should be taxed to obtain revenue. | “Third, a comparison of the rates in the present law on the remaining 32 per cent of imports with the rates pro- vided by the Fordney-McCumber law shows no great number of increases and proves that those that were increased resulted beneficially. Tetxiles Condition Cited. “Take for instance, textiles, the man- ufacturer of which has been helped by the present tariff. Does Mr. Bares want to repeal that tariff in order that we may buy our textiles abroad and again close factories in New England and North Carolina in order to help the foreigner? “Fourth, most civilized countries have rotective tariff laws, many of them igher than most of the rates provided by our law. If we greatly lowered our tariff rates, while they steadfastly main- tained theirs, how are the American people to be benefited? Such an as- sertion is utterly groundless. “Fifth, Mr. Barnes' statement is a mere genralization. He states that “the existing tariff should be lowered’ but such a potshot at a whole tariff bill is neither illuminating nor helpful. Wil Mr. Barnes enlighten us a little furthez? ‘What rates should be lowered and why? Even a few concrete instances might prove beneficial.” e MAYOR WALKER GREETS KING AND QUEEN OF SIAM Radio Carries Exchange of Greet- | ings at Citr Hall to Nation. John W.

By the Assoclated Pre: PARIS, May 4.—A mem{vs from President Hoover emphasizing the lofty | place that Admiral Count de Grasse holds in American history made the | dedication today of a monument to his | memory an event of significance in | Franco-American history.

For an American, however, no such uncertainty can exist. The circumstances of 1781 in which Admiral de Grasse anchored his flagship, the Ville de Paris, at the gate of Chesa- peake Bay were too momentous for us to forget. “The energy and independence of his character, moreover, are preserved for us in the letters of General Washing- ton: ‘The resolutions that you have taken in our circumstances’ wrote the commander in chief of the Continental Army, soon after the arrival from the West Indies of the Prench fleet, ‘prove that a great mind knows how to make | personal sacrifices to secure an import- ant general good.” “And when that important general | good had been secured, Washington was the first to acknowledge how large a share of the honor pertained to De Grasse. He wrote on the eve of the triumphant | of homage Admiral's departure: ‘The man who bel manner in which your excellency had maintained the mastery of the Ameri- can seas, and the glory of the French flag, lead both nations to look to you as the arbiter of the war.’ Gift of American. “In that lofty:place the admiral re- ins.
