ROOSEVELT FACES TARIFF ISSUE SOON Conferences With Cordell Hull Believed Due to House Vote, February 13. BY MARK SULLIVAN. Washington surmise for a week past has dealt with the suggestion that Sen- ator Cordell Hull of Tennessce may be Secretary of State. There is no author- ftative information about this or any other cabinet appointment. The gossip about Mr. Hull has increased with his visit to Mr. Roosevelt at the latter's request. Since Senator Hull is, in all respects, in the very highest rank of public men, his appointment as Secretary of State would elicit practictlly universal satis- faction. It is difficult to imagine criticism from any quarter or for any Teason. Washington's surmises about Presi- dent-elect Roosevelt's wish to see Sen- ator Hull are tied closely to the tariff. If Mr. Roosevelt wishes Mr. Hull to be Secretary of State, one reason would be that a main business of the Democratic State Department after March 4, ac- cording to the party program, will be to negotiate reciprocal trading tariffs with other countries. Mr. Hull is the chief Democratic advocate of and au~ thority on this proposal for handling ulml tariff and on low tariffs as a prin- ciple. Face Immediate Problem. Some of Washington surmises that Mr. Roosevelt’s wish to see Mr. Hull may have to do, not with the cabinet, but with a desire for advice about an | immediate tariff difficulty which is just now facing the Democrats. The situa- tion will come to a head February 13. 'To explain it chronologically, the Dem- ocrats made their 1930 campaign for Congress as an attack on the then re- cently passed Republican Hawley-Smoot tariff. On that issue the Democrats won. Thereupon there was some de- mand and much tacit assumption that the Democratic majority in the House ‘would begin fulfilment of their tariff reduction promise in the Congress be- inning December, 1931. They did not. ey passed a bill declaring, among other things, for a policy of negotiating tariff reductions with other nations. One of the authors of the measure was Senator Hull. That he was in good faith goes without saying, for he is above dissimulation. As regards most of the Democrats, however, the frank suspicion was that their passing the pious aspiration for negotiated tariff treaties was an act of retreat designed to conceal their unwillingness to really Jower the tariff. The true sentiment of the Democrats iff that 1931 session ‘was shown by the fact that Democratic leaders introduced and urged and Dem- ocratic votes passed some wholly new tariffs on commodities which the Re- publicans had left on the free list, con- spicuously oil and coal. Then in the 1932 presidential campaign the Demo- crats again jumped upon the Hawley- Smoot tariff before a thousand audi- ences. The Democratic platform and candidate promised tariff reduction. Just about the time they won the elec- tion last Fall an awkward thing hap- pened. Countries that had gone off the gold basis and thereby reduced the value of their currencies were able to make goods cheaper than the Hawley- Smoot bill ever contemplated. Large varieties of foreign goods were able to enter America. At once, in scores of congressional districts, arose complaint to Congress from manufacturers and labor organizations. It descended upon {Jfikn:ocraflc members and Republican , Vote to Be Forced Soon. The Republicans in the House cau- cused and decided to propose a bill eutomatically increasing the tariff in porportion to reduction in value of currencies. To get action on the Re- publican proposal, Representative John C. Schafer, Republican of Milwaukee, circulated a petition and got enough signers to force a vote on February 13. It was and is up to the Democrats to decide what to do as a party. On that question they are just now pulling and Dauling among themselves. Many in- dividual Democrats, acting under local pressure from their districts, will vote ! for the Republican bill. That would seem to make its passage certain. To the Democratic leaders the question is whether the party, as an official party action, can afford to oppose the emergency tariffl bill. They are aware that, under present conditions, that course would be fatal to them in many districts they now hold. At the same time they are aware of their perma- nent party policy and promise to re- duce the tariff. Dismissing all this matter of stra- tegic duel between the parties, the mational point of view suggests that one or both of two steps must be taken. Either foreign currencies must stabilized or something must be done about the tariff. Stabilizing foreign currencies involves international ac- tion and that would take time. Ne- Botlating tariff treaties, as the Demo- crats propose also is an inte‘national process and would take time. Mean- while the pressure from industries feel- ing outraged by foreign competition does not permit of time. It is likely Luere will be some rapid action among Democratic leaders between now. and February 13, and an interesting scene | 4n the House on that day. O’BRIEN DENOUNCES “EMBARGO’ MOVE IN CROWTHER TARIFFS (Continued Fr standard would be the paramount calamity of this disturbing period. “Our imports today are at a very low ebb. There is a_heavy balance of trade in our favor. We are not being flooded by imports.” Revoresentative Horr, Washington Republican, yesterday praised the plan for automatically raising duties to compensate for declines in foreign money values, but another Republican ~—McGugin of Kansas—vigorously as- pailed it. Horr said the Democrats apparently had failed to caucus on the legislation because a good many of them “intend to stand with us.” The subcommittee heard Dr. E. Dana Duran, the commission’s chief economist, gey the Crowther tariff bill on which publicans, through a discharge peti- tion, have guaranteed a House vote February 13, would “amount practically fo an embargo.” After testifying that statistics showed *no need for an application of a uni- form rule increasing duties on every article and that it would work in many cases unreasonable hardships,” Duran said he would prefer the Treasury plan intrdouced by Representative Hawley, Republican of Oregon, for broacening be | D.

One hundred and thirty million SENATORS T0 OPEN LOUISIANA INQUIRY Howell Arrives for Hearings in Overton-Broussard Election Contest. By the Ascociated Press. NEW ORLEANS, February 2—Sena- tor Robert B. Howell, Republican, of Nebraska, chairman of the Senate Cam- paign Funds Investigating Committee, arrived here this morning from Wash- ington for the opening tomorrow of hearings on the Overton-Broussard senatorial election contest. Senator Howell went into conference with Samuel T. Ansell, councel for the committee, and John Holland, special investigator, who has had charge of collecting data for the committee on the last Louisiana senatorial election, in which Representative John H. Overton defeated Senator Edwin S. Broussard. Other members of the committee were to arrive on later trains. The group |is expected to include Senators Rob- | G. Townsend, jr., of Delaware, both Republicans. Democratic members of the committee—Senators Tom Connally of Texas and Sam G. Bratton of New Mexico—have said pressure of official duties will keep them in Washington. Senator Howell would not predict how |long the hearings, which will be held in the custom house, will last. He said the committee would hear witnesses presented by Senator Broussard, who charged irregularities in the election, and also any other witnesses desiring to_testify. Senator Huey P. Long, who supported the candidacy of Overton, has an- nounced he will appear as counsel for Overten, ZION CONFERENGE INVITATIONS SENT to Be Represented Here February 12. | Invitations have been extended to leaders in more than 40 communities in the seaboard Zionist region to attend |a_conference in Washington February 12 at the Jewish Community Center according to an announcement today.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 2.—The Na- tional Electric Light Association, which had only three more years to run in order to round out a half century of existence, will be disbanded Febru- ary 15. It will be succeeded by the newly | formed Edison Electric Institute, com- prised of 87 per cent of the member- ship of the dying “Nela.” The insti- tute has announced its intention to regulate and improve the public utility industry from within. “Nela” has been severely criticized for much of its activity, particularly in disseminating propaganda. The new asscciation, among other duties of a public or semi-public nature, will take over the weekly compilation of electric power production figures, a work which has grown to sssume a commanding importance as a barometer of American business conditions. the commission’s flexible power to meet the depreciated currency situation. He estimated the loss of tariff revenue during the last year as a result of de- preciated currencies at about $15,000,000 instead of the $100,000,000 which had been estimated before the committee previously. McGugin told the House that to pass the Crowther plan “would justify Eng- |1and and’ other countries in laying an embargo against us.” | “Then where would he be?” He de- | manded. “This legislation would bz of no real benefit because the American farmer is the real American market. and as long as the farmer’s wheat and cotton are sold on the basis of the de- preciated pound you will have no market.” FEB. 10th = 1st, Tourist and 3rd Class . . . from New York te England and France . ..

Would Make Plan General. Senator Blaine suggested that by bringing up the proposed amendment under the general economy section it could be considered as a proposal that would apply on_the same terms to all departments, instead of attempting to| apply it separately to each appropria- | tion bill as it comes along. Several Senators brought out that there is no | assurance the same amendment could | be attached to other departmental bills | if it is adopted separately on these two departments. H ‘The total in the pending bill for the | Treasury and Post Office Departments | is approximately $961,400,000. Senator Bratton said the 5 per cent amendment would save about $45,000,000 on this bill. It also was brought out in the debate that, if applied to the Govern- | ment service as a whole, it would save about $130,000,000.

AIRMAIL SERVICE FEUD NEAR CLIMAX Post Office Heads Silent After Senate Strikes Out All Funds. The long fued between the Post Office Department and Congress over administration of the airmail service appeared to be nearing a climax today following the Senate’s action late yes- terday in striking from the Treasury- Post Office supply bill all funds for domestic airmail. Pest Office officials would not com- ment today on the action, but seemed to regard it merely as a step toward throwing the entire question of airmail policy into the new Congress. Civil aeronautics leaders in the Cap- ital, including representatives of the leading air transport lines, were in- clined to regard the step as directed against the Post Office Department rather than against the airmail service, though they admitted they were wor- ried as to the outcome of the situation and its effect on the aviation industry in the United States. Intensified Recently. The differerfces between Postmaster General Brown and Congress over the airmail have been intensified during the past few days. Brown, Refore the House Appropriations Conuulitee, as- sured Congress that no great changes of airmail schedules or routes were contemplated. He said it was possible to consider only two changes which he thought might be made. About January 15, however, word be- gan to go around that the Post Office Department was considering drastic and far-reaching changes in both routes and schedules over a large por- tion of the country. Representative Mead of New York, chairman of the House Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads, which is | investigating the Brown airmail ad- ministration, {mmediately introduced a resolution setting forth these rumors and calling upon the Postmaster Gen- erzl to make no changes “until such time as the committee, which has been authorized by the House of Represen- tatives, submits its report.” On Tuesday the House Committee, at a special session, adopted this resolu- tion and it was sent by special mes- senger to the Postmaster General. In defiance of the recolution, the Post- master General yesterday put int effect a sweeping plan of extensions totaling 1,500 miles, discontinuances of service totaling 1586 miles, and new | 5 | Cyrus W. Cole, Division of Fleet Train- | schedules increasing by 5,686 miles the | SCOtt's total flown daily by airmail planes. Defiance Responsible for Action. This defiance of the official request of the House Committee is believed by Capitol observers to have been largely responsible for yesterday's action in the Senate. The House previously had approved an appropriation of $19,000,000 for the domestic airmail service and the matter must be adjusted in conference. Air transport operators who hold airmail contracts have had representatives in Washington during the course of the Congressional consideration of the pos- tal supply bill. These representatives | pointed out today that their contracts are an obligation upon the Government and cannot legally be concelled with- out court action. They expressed the opinion that the appropriation would not be eliminated, but are fearful that it may be reduced to a point which will cripple the air transport industry.

By the Associated Press. DENVER, Colo, February 2.— Prederick G. Bonfils, publisher of the Denver Post, died at his home here this moming. Mr. Bonfils had been ill for several days and last Saturday underwent a or operation for an infected ear. He was 72 years old. Purchased Post In 1892. Bonfils and H. H. Tammen purchased the Denver Post in 1892, the Post then being the smallest paper in Denver. They pursued an aggressive policy of attacking corporate abuses and de- veloped a policy of interpretative news writing. Tammen died July 19, 1924, and since | then Bonfils was.the directing head of the Post. Besides his activity as a newspaper publisher Bonfils was interested ex- tensively for many years in various business enterprises in the Rocky Mountain region and built up a large fortune. He is survived by his widow and two daughters, Helen and May Bonfils Berryman: two brothers, Charles and ‘Thomas of Denver, and two sisters, Mrs. Etta B. Walker of Fort Humphries, Va, and Mrs. Nell Barber of Los Angeles. Bonfils & Tammen extended their | newspaper enterprise to Kansas City | in the acquisition October 29, 1909, of | the Kansas City Post, which they pub- “ lished until May 18, 1922, when it was sold by them. Recently Bonfils sued the Rocky Mountain News of Denver for $200,000 for libel, basing the suit upon gquota- tions from an address by Walter Walker, Grand Junction, Colo., newspaper pub- lisher, in which Bonfils was attacked. Cited for Contempt. Attorneys for the News obtained court permission for examination of Bonfils by deposition, and in the course of the examination Bonfils objected to certain questions. This resulted in a citation for contempt of court, and a fine of $25 was imposed upon him. He appealed to the State Supreme Court against this fine. The examination was to have proceeded in court this week, but Bonfils' iliness caused a postpone- | ment.

By the Assoclated Press. BERLIN, February 2—With the ob- streperous Reichstag off his hands by the bold step ef having President von Hindenburg dissolve the body and call for new elections, Chancellor Adolf Hitler was enjoying today his first reia- tive peace since his arrival in Berlin Saturday. The 43-year-old Nazi leader hardly bhad time to sleep since coming here for the party negotiations which resulted in his appointment to the chancellorship. His days and nlghts were one succes- | sion of political conferences. Prominent callers were obliged to pace the lobby of the Kaiserhof Hotel for hours before he received them. He was still without an official home, Vice Chancellor Franz von Papen was oc- cupying the new wing of the chancel- lory and President von Hindenburg the old Bismarckian wing, while the old presidential mansion was being Te- paired. As Baron von Papen has a large mily, it is expected that Hitler, a bachelor, will be content with a suite to be especially remodeled for him in the new chancellory. He already has established his secretariat for National Socialist party work there. Hitler's immediate problem is finding time for party afairs. The structure of the organization is built around his personality. The leadership requires his continual attention, therefore, and he is considering creating a_general party secretaryship, to which he prob- ably would appoint some trusted lieu- tenant. Hitler was expected to take a promi- nent part in the campaign leading up to the eclections March 5 in the hope of winning enough Reichstag seats tc make his cabinet a purely Naz insti- tution.
