"'Aq w TYDINGS URGES TARIFF PARLEY Counsels U. S. to Go Slow on Change in Policy Until Problem Is Settled. Senator Tydings, Democrat, of Maryland, today counseled the Gov- ernment to “go slow” about making sny alterations in tariff policy until world trade and other problems can be thrashed out in international con- ference. He expressed this opinion as the Senate Foreign Relations Committee pondered a recommendation by Francis tant Secretary of State, ed States ratify a pend- national agreement. eement provides that sig- natories to economic pacts involving several nations—that is, multilateral conventions—would not be required to give the benefits of these agree: to gnatories just because of t-favored-nation” clauses in other 1es.

The people of America, in seeking economic security in these days of de- pression and difficulty, must be care- | ful not to sacrifice the liberties for which the founders of the Nation fought, Represent e Hollister of Ohio told 150 Yale men at a dirner here last night in honor of Dr. James R. Angell, president of the university He denounced the school of though today which insists that “the admit- ted change in the material things of life requires a corresponding chanze in the intangible things of life—the things of the spirit.” I believe firmly."” he i, “that un- less we raise some leaders who will again preach the doctrine of self- deniai and self-reliance we will sink beneath the burden of our woes into 8 servile nation.” “The most encouraging manifestation of the times.” he said, “is the increas- ing interest of the people as a whole in public affairs. He said that it is the duty of every citizen to give some part of his time and his abiiity to public service.” President Angell reportad to the lo- cal Yale men that the new college plan instituted at the university is a great success at the end of its second year.

Sweitzer also offered, Commissioner Maurice F. Kavanagh announced, to put the difference between $335,000 and $414,000 into escrow “by Satur- day or Monday.” Meanwhile, he proposed to arbitrate the whole question of the missing money with the board. Sweitzer, one of the biggest vote- getters of the Democratic party in the county, was elected treasurer in De- cember. Michael J.

Debate May Postpone Vote to Next Week. 6, 1935. By the Associated Pres: | Senator Metcalf, Republican, of Rhode Island today renewed the at- tack on the Wheeler-Rayburn bill to | abolish public utility holding com- panies by declaring it was taking the country “toward Government owner- | ship of all utilities.” | The New Englander said the meas- ure was a part of “the mania to de- | stroy” with which, he said, official | Washington s “obsessed.” “The mania for destruction has spread through all lines of human endeavor,” he declared. “From the killing of hogs to the liquidation of utility holding companies, it runs from | the smallest farm through the most complicated organizations of industry and finance. Where does it lead, and where will it end?” | The furious Senate debate seems likely to continue into next week, al- | though some Senators have predicted | a vole in a day or two. Senator Brown, Democrat, of New Hampshire, who rarely is heard on the Senate floor, in a speech late yester- day denounced what he termed | the “corrupting and corroding influ- ences of misused economic power” by holding companies. Calling the utility holding system a “racket.” he said: “I've seen them juggle books, juggle cash, juggle foreclosure sales where they were both buyer and seller. juggle lawyers and juggle engineers.” Senator Hastings, Republican, of Delaware, continuing his attack on the measure, called it unconstitutional. He said it sought to impose Federal control of business within the States. He contended the Federal Govern- ment does not have the right to apply such a bill to a company merely be- cause it uses the mails or engages in interstate commerce. If Senators felt regulation in their States was lax. he said, they should “stay home and remedy it." Senator Bone, Democrat, of Wash- ington said State regulation could not work and called the “power trust” an “octopus.” China's Phones Link 21 Cities.
