Business Hits New False Note Reciprocal Trade Criti- cism Fails to Cement Administration Tie. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. E “declaration of principles” adopted by the Nationpl As- sociation of Manufacturers made in some respects a favor able impression here, but on the whole is regarded by various members of the New Deal as a futile attempt to comprehend the purposes of the Roosevelt Admin- dstration. Take one out- standing plank— the one dealing with the tariff and reciprocal trade agreements. It will be found that the National As- sociation of Man- ufacturers has simply requested here the terms of the Republican national platform which was repudiated at the polls. Attention was called by this corre- apondent before and after the last Re- publican National Convention to the dangers which this plank held with respect to independent voters. There is, of course, always support for the persons or institutions who stand by their convictions, but the | David Lawtence, National Association of Manufactur- | ers is not supposed to be, at the mo- ment, a political instrumentality but & vehicle for co-operation between Government and business. Plank Headed for Dead End. Such a plank on the tariff which was included in the “declaration of principles” will get exactly nowhere with the Roosevelt regime or with Congress, because it would attempt to upset the whole structure of the Hull reciprocity treaties, which have be- come ingrained in the foreign policy of the United States and have been accepted in principle by the leading nations of the world. The declara- tion by the National Association of Manufacturers says it has “favored reciprocal tariff agreements,” but adds: “We believe such agreements should be negotiated with specific countries with corresponding benefits to both | the United States and the foreign | country involved and that such agree- ments should be ratified by the Senate. | “We believe continuance of the un- | eonditional most-favored-nation pro- | vision is inconsistent with the theory | of reciprocal truth. They extend the benefits of reciprocal tariff provisions | to those not parties to the agree- | ments, giving the benefits and getting nothing in return.” Seen as Unworkable. The trouble with the foregoiing, | from the New Deal viewpoint, is that such a plank is simply unworkable. For years the United States Govern- ment has been at the mercy of the ' more flexible governments of the world who could overnight make tariff changes. The system of delegating ‘within limits the tariff-making power to the Executive in our own country | has been forced upon us by the con- ditions abroad, and to go back to the | log-rolling between groups and sec- | tions, which would be inevitable if | the trade agreements were to be sub- | mitted to the Senate for ratification, | would merely mean to turn back the clock for generations. As for America “getting nothing in return,” this is a fallacy, according to the administration's argument, be- cause other nations cannot make any | more favorable rates to a third power | than they make with America. This merely means that, if France, for in- | stance, which has a reciprocal agree- | ment with the United States, should ever make a reciprocal agreement with Belgium or Germany or any other country and should grant some trade concessions, every one of those con- | cessions must automatically be granted | to the exporters from the United States. Consultation May Be Provided. ‘There is, to be sure, a rightful criti- | eism which the National Association | STAR, WASHINGTO News Behind the News Administration Developing Untried Methods to Halt Boom Runaway. BY PAUL MALLON, BAGE economic mechanie around the White House sised up the situation now confronting the President in this apt way: “President Roosevelt spent his first four years getting a sick rted. He will spend the next four trying to keep it ay.” The important thing about that is the second purpose requires an exactly opposite technique from the first. You operate at a different end of the horse, The methods used for getting the beast going are: Inflation, spending, credit exrpansion, an unbalanced budget, seisure and dis- tribution of corporate earnings, seizure of dig incomes and distribu- :um of them to the needy, artificial stimulations to develop purchas- ng power. But the generally known method of dealing with & runaway call for: Deflation, contraction of spending and credit, ‘a balanced budget and abstinence from stimulants. 1f these fundamentals are desirable, as is now sald, you are going to see an entirely different New Deal in the next four years, L] The experts who plan ahead are already discussing what can be done. The nmum::w would '::"‘::" be to pass around the word that the immediate outlook is none good, that prices are go'ng too high and W{A"f"'wm‘ may cause reaction. This tends to WHENHES HOT hold things dowh. It has already a g been started. The New Déal news 5 writers are beginning to speculate ‘about it. Official spokesmen are taking it up. Next, you can hike the require- ments on banks so they will have to keep a large amount of cash in reserve and cannot lend it out. : ‘This also has been done, it will be done again next month. Then you can move to limit the influx of foreign capital into this country from war-frightened Europe, and cut down that stimulant to our markets. Mr. Roosevelt has talked about this, Steps will be taken very soon. EIE I O These preliminary steps are the known ones. There are others which have not been mentioned in public. They can move to increase interest rates through the Federal Reserve Board and Treasury policy. They can enlarge Mr. Morgenthau's authority over the stabilization fund so he can manipulate it in an anti-inflationary way. They can buy fewer Govern- ment bonds in the open market and thus put out less cash. They can start to cut down gradually on Government spending, and move toward a balancing of the budget. All these and some other minor technical steps have been discussed, and perhaps these will eventually be taken. A significant thing about them is that virtually no new legisla= tion would be needed to carry them out. A tgchnical amendment might have to be adopted by Congress to enlarge Mr. Morgenthau's stabilization powers and the rate of spending, of course, will be partly determined by Congress. But no new big legislation is being discussed at this time. The big question is how effective these moves will be. Nobody knows. ‘They have never been tried before, Consequently, no one can possibly have any provable notion of how much they will accomplish. Their application requires very careful handling, because the purpose is not to stop the progress of the old hoss, but to moderate his gait so he will not again exhaust himself and collapse. It is true the Government could not handle him before, and the reins now are not as strong as they might be. But Government has learned a lot in the last seven years. It is alert and knowing. All of these fellows here in charge of thinking for the New Deal are not Tugwells. They have found out more about practical economics in the last four years than Government officials previously learned in a lifetime, They have the fresh experience in their minds of what happened before. is they are determined. It is anybody's guess how successful they will be. The main thing (Copyright, 19:16.) 'KNIFE-THROWING Will Describe Reactions to Dan- gerous Thrill Act of Circus.

How Long the Victory ? Abdication for Love May Bring Reaction on Many Phases of Crisis. BY MARK SULLIVAN. AT follows now? What are the consequences of the abdication of a British King, coming in the pres- ent state of the world? Some of the consequences can be surmised with fair certainty. Othets can only be sug- s % gested, in the form of questions, of which the an- swer will only emerge with time. Fitst in impors« tance, parlia- mentary govern- ment retains its integrity, even increases its pres- tige and strength. ‘Thére was con- flict belween the King and parlia- :‘e;’:fid "by"fi; Mark Sullivan. prime minister The King lost, lost 8o definitely that he was obliged to abdicate Today, parllament is sue preme over the monarchy to 4 greater extent than at any time in the seven centuries during which parliament has been rising. Parliamentary government increases | its strength in Britain. But how | about elsewhere? In the world-wide conflict between parliamentary gov- ernment and pérsonal or dictator gov- ernment, is the prestige of parlia- mentary government increased by the spectacle the world has just watched in Britain? Possibly yes; but the an swer cannot be known until we see how the worid reacts. Tradition, Too, Wins. Parliamentary government wins. | But, paradoxically, so does the power of traditioh win. What King Ed- ward had to yield to was parliament— but what parliament relied on and stood for was a body of British tra- dition—about the relation of the King to parliament, about the place of the church in British government | and society, about divorce as a thing which the Established Church of Eng- land disapproves. The paradox here lies in the fact that in England the monarch is supposed to be the per- sonification of tradition.. In this case, tradition wins, but the monarch loses. | The monarch loses—but it may not | be that the monarchy loses. It may be the new monarch will be more se- | cure upon his throne by reason of what has happened. It may be— but it may not be. That is one of the questions that must wait for time to answer. The British people have juat passed through what must have been a serfous and widespread dis- illusionment about & king. Will they, after that, have as much regard for the new King? Will they to the same extent respect the King as & symbol, accept him, not as & man but as a personification? What of World Influence? Will Britain, as & result of what infiuence, or less? compact at home? Will she be more powerful in Europe? The answer to | that will be important. For Britain is the outstanding exemplar of lib- eralism, the principal reliance for peace, in the present European strain between contrasting ideals—between liberal government and autocratic, between preservation of peace and ambition for conquest. There may be a curious indirect effect on the peoples of Europe that are dictator-governed. Germans learned of the British crisis for the first time | when King Edward abdicated. That | news the Hitler Government could hardly keep from the people. But the German Government had forbid- den and prevented all previous men- tion. After this, will it be as easy as Will she be more ! year. year would add 58 cents net profit a | before for Hitler to impose censorship | on the German press? Will the Ger- man people be as willing to accept what the German press does? Reaction to Church Possible. ‘What will be the effect on the au- thority of churches everywhere? For the moment, the authoritative concep- tion of the church has won a victory, The Episcopal Church, which is the Bstablished Church of England, for- mally disapproves divorce, does not marty divorced persons. ‘To this rule, the British monarchy, in some degree, now submits. Will this victery for ecclesiastical authority last? Will the authoritative conception in other churches profit? Or will there be, now or later, reaction? What will be the effect on individ- f | ual standards everywhere? Mrs. Simp- son lost the opportunity to be Queen of England. She did not lose it be- cause she was an American—that did not stand in the way. She did not lose it because she was & commoner— that did not stand in the way. It may be she would have lost it because she had been through one divorce, Yet if there had been only one, she might not have lost—Parliament and the established church might have yielded. It was the second divorce | that was too much, especially since |1t had the appearance of being an arranged divorce for the purpose of l;:nl.in( podsible her marriage to the May Affect Divorce. It was because of what the London Times called “the eircumstances.” | Will all this have the effect of less tolerance for divorce, or more? Will the world, especially America, con- | Unue the approval or acceptance of divorce that has become more and more general for more than 40 years? It hardly seems likely that the informal opinion of the world will turn back to the standards of Queen Victoria. It may, after a while, react in the anti-Puritan direction. Anyhow, the world has seen a great drama. For the price of a daily newspaper the man in the street has been able to follow a historical event as momentous as any that Plutarch or Gibbon or any other classic historian ever described. Not | only is the drama unexcelled in his- tory. Fiction and the stage have few equivalents. When fiction, the stage and the motion picture busy them- | selves with royal romance, they usually present it as an improbability, and lay the scene in some anonymous kingdom, such as Richard Harding Davis did in “The Princess Aline,” and Anthony Hope in the “Prisoner of Zenda” which he located in “Ruritania.” The drama of actual events can be so melodramatic that fiction feels it can- not ask the reader to believe any- thing so fantastic.

BY JAY FRANKLIN, HE proposal to hold a census of the unemployed has again bogged .Aown in the question: When i8 a man unemployed? The problem of farm tenancy has not béen blocked by any such intellectual squeamishness, TPRe administration knows its statistics on agri- eulture, The simplest definition of a farm tenant is & farm operator who cultivates land which he does not own. This definition is the key to the report which the President's Farm Tenancy Committee will begin to pre- pare about the middie of the month. For under this definition, the “ine dependent” yeomen of lowa and the debt-ridden “croppet” of Arkansas are blood-brothers. The Bureau of Agricultural Economics has prepared some ominous charts. One of these shows the average farm operator's equity in the land he tills, Btate by State. The man who works to earn interest for & mort- gage-holder 1s just a5 much & tenant—economically speaking—as the man who goes shares with the owner of a big plantation. Iowa farmers, for examnple, own only 30 per cent of the value of Iowa farms; Qeorgia farmers, only 40 per cent. In the case of Iowa, much of the 70 per cent balance is held in Hartford, Conn., And Los Angeles, Calif., 80 that the prosperity of New England and Southern California depends in part on the prosperity of these - “independént” farmers. ‘The average for the country as a whole is: 42 per cent owned by the farmer, 58 per cent by banks, insurance companies and private investors. The 40-year trend is away from unincumbered farm ownership. The bureau also has & chart showing a similar trend in the rise of tenant farming. In 1880, 25.8 per cent of all farmers were tenants; in 1935, 42.1 per cent—or nearly every other farmer—were tenants. The proportion of tenant farmers 18 highest in the Bouth—b84 per cént; lowest in the West—24 per cent: in ;;e North, tenants account for 33 per cent of all farmers—one out of ree. Another chart shows the proportion of tenant and ecropper farms to all American farms. Neatly three million farms are cultivated by tenants. The richest land of the Mississippi valley shows the highest percentage of cropping; ih the delta region, four out of five farms are tenant farms. Thus we have the ghastly paradox of the worst social and economic conditions among farmers arising on the finest farm land in America. 5 This is alarming. We cannot duck the issue by pretending not to know the facts. They are unmistakable, threatening, stubborn. These facts, particularly in the South where racial sentiment complicates all public life, have led to the Bankhead-Jones bill for a swift, wholesale and expensive solution of a situation which threatens to breed an agrarian revolution, once the mechanical cotton picker gves to work and starts displacing human labor in the South. ‘The 38 members of the Tenancy Committee are pondering these fact, but the actual work of the conference will be handled by a subcommittee headed by Dr. Lewis C. Gray of Resettlement and Agriculture, and includ- ing A. G. Black, head of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics; Dr. Will Alexander, Tugwell's choice to head up Resettlement, and M. W. Thatcher of the Farmers' Union. The committee will recommend a slow, experimental tenancy program, costing about $15,000,000 a year, which will work out, region by region and by types of farming, a flexible and practical solution. They believe that Senator Bankhead and his Southern friends are in too much of & hurry and that there is no easy solution. Tugwell and Secretary Wallace are in agreement on this point. The tenancy program. will be intrusted, at least in its early stages, to the Resettlement Admin- istration as part of the Depart- ment of Agriculture. Resettlement has already made some important “tenancy security” experiments in the Southern States. graduating the farmers on “rehabilitation” into economic solvency. Of the program as a whole, two things can be predicted: The dangerous old “homesteading” idea, the “40 acres and & team of mules” bunk will be fought tooth and nail. The old-time Southern planta- tion will serve as a model for the future: A center for technical equipment, for wholesale purchases and sales, for social and medical facilities—with co-operative cultivation of cash crops under a beneficial form of private ownership. Any other method would be perilously uneconomic. In the second place, the Government will seek not to end tenancy, but to increcse it, working with the tide and using credit and other financial sanctions, under public control, to lower interest rates, extend periods of repayment and introduce desirable elements of supervision and management in the interest of the temants In other words, the New Deal's tenancy proposals will make sense. ‘This means, under “the American way,” that they will be bitterly attacked and opposed, not least by those who stand to gain from them.

PARTON, OGER BABSON warns the Ped- « eral Council of Churches that the church in general is en- dangered by the declining birth 1ate. With his usual vigor and assurance he shores up his argument anh statistios and urges remedial ac- on, Mr. Babson is so prolific and versa- tile—it is doubtful whether he or Walter B. Pitkin takes in more terri- tory—that it is hard to keep the balance - brought - forward in his prophecies, analyses, critiques, for- mulas and corrective devices. For in- stance, in July, 1935, he was urging birth control as one of three specifics to cure poverty. Possibly for non- churchmen only. Dean Swift proposed to make great literature by a giant abacus which would mechanically combine and re- combine all the words in the language. By the laws of permutations and com- binations, great prophecy would issue. However, not all of Mr. Babson's bull’s- eyes can be credited to calculus or | quantity output. His shrewd predic- tion of the 1929 crash was a logical dissection of events which turned out to be the one dependable horoscope of that roilicking Summer. The brisk, dapper goateed sage of Wellesley Hills is, 80 far as the records of this department show, the one major prophet of the business world | who systematically takes time out for thinking. He devotes each morning | to a thinking session, taking notes | when he gets a good idea. Here are | just & few of the subjects which have | concerned him in the last few years | and which he has carried into the | public forum: A three-ply cure for poverty: (1) Keep people out of debt. (2) Produce |and distribute more. (3) Reduce the number of wage earners, possibly by | birth control, so there will be enough | wealth to go around. . | Self-finding golf balls: harnessing tides; & dependable method of pre- dicting earthquakes; watches run by radio; the regulation of sex, height, | weight and other physical character- istics by electric air waves; strict Bun- day observance; changing birch into | mahogany; practical eugenics; double- deck street cars; & street car, invented | by Mr. Babson. with no motorman: hard work aud intelligence to pull out | of depressions; an automatic translator | of languages; draft workers in time of war; scientific diet and exercise; fresh air. | Mr. Babson thinks it is about fifty- | fifty whether we slide into fascism, | although he is a loyal believer both in | American institutions and Adam Smith economics and doesn't want anything | like that to happen. | At his great statistical and research plant, Babson Park, in Massachusetts, | he brings the whole universe to the eager focus of his rimless spectacles. He thinks everything probably will come out all right, if we just behave | ourselves, although he does see & Pos- [ sibly troublesome spell of infiation just ahead. | The medieval scholastics proposed | a round-up of all known knowledge, | with the belief that when they closed in on it they would find at last the mustard seed of truth. Mr. Babson | seems to have the same idea. Years | ago, Parson Uzell provided a literai | application of this method. His pet | rabbit had strayed. He put on a round-up of all the rabbits of North- ern Colorado, with hundreds of men closing in on four sides. Among hun- dreds of thousands of rabbits, they finally found the stray. The rabbit rodeo became an annual affair—to feed the poor, however, rather than to find runaways. Even if Mr. Babson doesn’t find the ultimate truth, there should be some such useful by- product from his prodigious research, (Copyright, 1936,) 'RENOVIZE ... your home DEPENDABLE mission to prevent increases in trans- | portation FRe wes Ghplorea; ina| 0 CTAIBes Of fobbéey ana atevn | steps were urged to be taken to give | the commission greater powers in this | respect. | The Public Utilities Committee of the association, of which Clayton is chairman, was authorised to con-{ tinue its activity protesting against the removal of the street car tracks on Third and Kennedy streets and sub- stitution of a shuttle bus servicz be= i tween Takoma Park and Fourteenth | street and Colorado avenue.
