COMMONS PASSES | 10PER CENT TARF Approval by 442 to 62 Vote Sounds Death Knell of Brit- ish Free Trade. By the Associated Press. LONDON, February 26.—The swan song of British free trade was sung in the House of Commens last night when it passed, by a vote of 442 to 62, the bill imposing a 10 per cent duty on all imports into Great Britain, with cer- tain notable exceptions. Isaac Foot. Liberal minister of mines, and Sir Stafford Cripps. one of the Labor party's leaders, made final bitter speeches against the tariffs before the bill was given third and final reading. With royal assent, the measure be- comes effective as of next Tuesday. Cries of “Resign! Resign’ were shouted at Foot when, 45 minutes be- fore the “guillotine” hour, when the bill had to be out of the way, he arose and arraigned the imposition of tariffs. | He declared it had been the history of nations that once a country adopted tariffs it had “sweat blood” before it | could get rid of them | “1 regret deeply the passing of a measure which would place these ancient shackies upon us,” he sald. When the government majority of 380 votes on final passage was announced, members of the House of Commons to their feet. cheered Neville Cham- erlain, chance of the exchequer, and waved papers at him In a sense it was a family victory, since it was his f{ather. Joseph Cham- berlain, who a generation ago fought =0 long but vainly to make Britain a protectionist country. Tre bill passed on to the House of Lords, which will give it first reading today and pass it through the remain- ing stages Monday. A number of ships raced to English ports during the week just past with goods to unload before the imposition of the first duties Tuesday. Among them was the Bereéngaria. with a cargo of tinned goods. Among the imports exempted from the general 10 per cent tariffs are cot- ton, wheat, corn and coal, NAVY ORDERS Capt.

(Copyrisht. 1932. by the Associated Press.) PRINKIPO, Princes Island, Turkey, February 26.—The rule of Joseph Stalin, guiding spirit of the Communist party in Soviet Russia, is “thoroughly shaken," | Leon Trctzky told me he believes, and he cites this as the reason for the issuance of a decree at Moscow & few days ago formally confirming the exile of himself and of nearly two-score other lesser former Russian leaders. Breaking his ban on interviews, Trctzky, the former Bolshevik war lord, mzde the most direqt attack on Stalin he has made i nany of his rare talks with press representatives during his exile. “The personal situation of Stalin and his limited group is tottering pre- cariously,” the former organizer of the Red army said. “I neither have the text of the decree of which you speak nor cfficial confirmation that such a | decision has been taken, but supposing the information is correct, which I be- lieve highly probable, I can give the | following explanation: “The list of names in the decree is| wholly artificial. It is the famous ‘Amalgam’ system. They have com- bined a list of opponents and enemies of the Soviet regime, expelled from | Soviet Russia since 1921, as a specific | entourage around my name. Stalin’s | need for resorting to such methods ls‘ due to the fact that his personal sit- uation is thoroughly shaken and com- promised. | Successes Pointed Out. | “Indisputable economic successes have been made along the lines advocated by the opposition. while difficulties have resulted from Stalin’s purely bureaucratic method. The working classes of Russia | are clearly aware of this. After de- claring us dead four years ago, Stalin found himself forced some months ago to launch a desperate international campaign against ‘Trotskyism’ and me personally. The present decree is merely the crown of this campaign, which in-| in_the Soviets.” il Trotsky is “camping out” on this island and he gives the impression of a general marshaling an army of words. He is continuing his work on the ms<‘ tory which he has been writing. “We have come again to Prinkipo, he sald, “where, with my family, Ispent | the first two years of my exile un fire destroyed our dwelling and ever. thing it contained, including my library. Here we are even more isolated from the outside world than at Moda. At present during stormy days in February | the post does not arrive for a day or two days at a time. All houses are tightly closed. You can see there are ideal conditions here for abstaining from politics. { “Hog(oever. the world press does not | allow me a political holiday. Not long ago the news appeared in the news- papers of several countries that I was planning to leave for Germany to take upon myself the defensc of the Bruening government. The Spanish press, basing fts opinions partly on the theory of ‘permanent revolution’ which I uphold, | and partly on communications of police, accuses me of organizing recent move- | ments against civil guards there. ! “At the same time. at Moscow, the | Stalin faction decided during its last | conference that I was directing ‘the advance guard of Bourgeoise counter- revolution.' Again it must be remem- bered that a few months ago there ap- peared in the world press an announce- ment of my plot, co-jointly with the former Emir of Afghanistan, to free India. All False, He Says. | “Which of these communications is | true and exact? I have to disappoint you, They are all faise | “If you ask me which of them pleases | me most, my choice will fall on the plot with the Emir of Afghanistan. | In this story there is at least the most | creative fantasy. 1 am only sorry we weren't accorded as a third ally Mr.| Ramsay MacDonald. It is true that, without officially .taking part in a plot, he does all in his power for the quickest possible_liberation of India from Eng- land. To have introduced him offictally | into the conspiracy would have been | necessarily. “When 1 was arrested at Madrid dur- | ing the war (in 1916) the director of police thus answered by questions as| to the reasons for the arrest: ‘Your| ideas are too advanced for Spain.’| Thereupon I was incarcerated in a ‘model’ prison at Madrid, which I con- fess did not appear especially model to me. “Since that time monarchy has given place in Spain to a republic which, even in its constitution, is called a Re- public of Labor. I do not know to what extent the police of Madrid have been renovated, but apparently they have the same conviction that my ideas are too advanced for Spain, “Nevertheless they consider this very brief formula sufficient to motiviate efusal of 2 visa. (Ever since the found- ing of the Spanish Republic Trotsky has sought, but failed to obtain a pass- port visa to visit Spain). Thence arises this version of my spiritist direction of the recent popular movement in “How should the Stalin faction’s new campaign against me be explained? ‘There are two causes, one general, the STALIN'S REGIME TOTTERING. DECLARES EXILED TROTZKY Former Bolshevik War Lord Explains Re- cent Decree Confirming Banishment of Himself and Others. | end upon tion of Stalin and his limited group is tottering precarfously. The economic and cultural successes of the Soviet Union have aroused considerably the self-confidence of the working flass and at the same time its eriticism of the bureaucratic regime which Stalin personifies. Animosity Spreading. “There is nothing anti-Soviet in this movement; on the contrary it is en- tirely impregnated with traditions of the revolution of October and of the bolshevist party. But it is directed against the dictatorship of the Stalin faction. This is the explanation for hundreds and hundreds of articles and annotations in Soviet newspapers which disclose everywhere the ‘Trotzky con- trebande ' “That is the title which simply leads one to understand the increasing in- dependence of the workers and their animosity against bureaucracy. “There is a second and more personal cause for the campaign against me. It goes back to the past, but is connected with the present. Unkind tongues say there exists in America not a few estimable men who, despite their modest birth. try as soon as their ‘price’ be- gins to express itself in numbers of seven figures, to seek out their an- cestors among the English aristocracy, or even the Scottish dynasty. “The bureaucratic faction of Stalin cannot take this road, but the membérs of this faction try to prove their spe- cial rights by their role in the fight against the Czar and in the October revolution. Thus are created apocry- phal biographies and thus is apocryphal history written. “During my years of exile I have edited a series of historical documents in the Russian language. I have de- voted my time on this island principal- 1y to historical works. Two of the lat- ter, ‘My Life’ and ‘History of the Revo- lution of February,' have appeared in America. England and other countries. The third, “The Revolution of October," should appear shortly. I am at present working on its last chapter. Banned by Soviet. “All these books are absolutely for- bidden to be ‘imported into the Soviet Unlon. But many Boviet citizens, and some Communists among them, leave for abroad for economic, diplomatic, scientific or other reasons. They read my books and carry back in their heads to the Soviet Union the so-called ‘Trot- sky contrebande.’ “The veritable picture of the revolu- tion of 1917 which I have made on the basis of positive and indisputable docu- ments is in complete disaccord with the official legend of Stalin bureaucracy. Stalin and his creatures have discovered with horror that Trotsky contrebande has pierced its way into historical re- search, historical journals and even into schoolbooks. In November of last year Stalin gave the signal for alarm for beginning the recent campaign against the Trotskyists. “Not long ago a young historian named Keen was accused of irrational contrebande and repented with the fol- lowing words beforc the Society of Marxist Historlans: ‘Our fault was that we wanted to be too objective, whereas the history of the revolution should not be objective but conformable to our goal’ In other words, it would re- spond to the exigencies of Stalin bu- reaucracy fust as genealogical re- searches should to the exigencies of canning factory millionalres in Chicago Fishes and Hunts. “The words of that young historian I have named are not ironical, that is, not ironical for himself. He is merely expressing with too much frankness the bottom of the affawr; one must not write history of the Russian revolution too objectively or one will receive the ‘Trotzky contrebande. Not one of my most fervent friends could give a more favorable report of my historic work “If living on the Island of Prinkipo doesn't facilitate the direction of the movement at Seville, on the other hand one can in this tranquillity and isola- tion, ponder quietly and to the very the logical succession, of great historic events and in that light upon the role of parties and men. Two- thirds of my time is consecrated to this apd the other third—one-fourth, let us say—of all my time is devoted to ar- ticles and pamphlets on current politi- cal events. “There remains a twelfth, you say? I see that you are strong in arithmetic. This little time permit me to reserve for fishing and hunting.” SECOND ABSENT VOTERS’ MEASURE IS INTRODUCED Chase’s Would Permit Withdrawal of Mail Vote and Substitute Marked Ballot. By & Staff Correspondent of The Star. RICHMOND, Va., February 26.—Sen- ator Roland Chase, the only Republican member of the upper branch, yesterday introduced his second absent voters law bill of the present session.

Senators’ Aid Hoped. In view of the House action in cut- ting every appropriation bill passed several million dollars below budget estimates, the commission fears it might as well hang “for rent” signs on several hearing rooms. It is hoping, however, that Senators who sponsored the threatened inquiries will come to the rescue. They have been teld of the situation. The investigation into the power in- dustry was the result of a resolution introduced bv Senator Walsh, Demo- crat, Montana. It has been going on since March, 1928, and already $1,200,- 000 has been spent. Humphrey, a former member of the House from Washington, said there re- mained several months of work on the power irnquiry and that the staff of ex- perts assembled would have to go uniess the commission gets additional funds. Commission officials assert that about 180 employes will have to be dismissed if only $1,236,000 is allowed. Situation Embarrassing. Ancther investigation ordered by the Senate also has placed the commission in an embarrassing situation. The Senate last year told it to inquire into the building materials situation and directed that the work begin at once In the past, the commission has gone ahead after such an order and the money to pay for the work always has been ailowed. The Budget Bureau, however, said it had no authority to spend $70,000 in investigating the build- ing materials situation before money for the inquiry was appropriated. The commission is trying to get the $70,000 this year, but if it fails, Humphrey said the amount would have 1o be made up by dismissing employes— 70_or more. The irdependent offices appropriation bill, in which money for the Trade Com- mission is included, has not been re- ported to the House. It is in the hands of an appropriations subcommittee. MRS.

The First Lady of the Land came here with a party of friends to board the Department of Commerce motor ship, Sequoia, for a Southern cruise. Finding three hours between their ar- rival and the time set for the ship's departure, they devoted them to seeing the city tourist fashion. Their first stop was the City Hall to see the portrait of George Washington 'by John Trumbull, noted American painter. The portrait. property of the city, was painted to commemorate ‘Washington’s visit here in 1791, From the City Hall they rode down historic Meeting street, saw many of the places here which figured in the early history of the Colonies and then visited Magnolia and Middleton Place Gardens which annually attract thou- sands of visjtors.

CAVE-MAN SPEAKEASY DISCOVERED IN IRELAND Guards Locate Still Set Up Mountains With Seats for Customers. in DUBLIN —In its war on the poteen, or illicit booze, the Irish Free State has discovered something equivalent to @ cave-man speakeasy in the Ballycastle Mountains, in County Mayo. Cut out in the side of a mountain is a room capable of accommodating a large num- ber of customers. The room, even in these rough surroundings, was equipped with chairs and long tables. The civic guard which discovered it found a fully equipped still, 2 coolers, | 4 gallons of high voltage poteen and 40 gallons of mash. Incessant vigilance on the part of the authorities has all but sounded the death knell of this once thriving illegal booze trade. (Copyright, 1932.)

However, it recommends that the question be studied for smoothing out tne difficulties, technical and financial, which have hitherto prevented the ad- ministration of Palestine from allowing such transmission. The commission, showing that it does not ignore the desiderata of the Jewish population, asks that it be advised as soon as 4 further decision be arrived at by the authorites.
