L e A WIGHER TARIFF It is logical to assume that the slogan of the Hoover administration at the outset of its career will be “Mere Terif and Higher Rates.” The House ways and means com- | 4 mittee, due to hold hearings on such a measure in January, is expected to report in time for a special session of cn Ly orzanizations who hired halts ! Congress to be called after March 4. Business and industrial interests, usually opposed to special sessions will accept this one with alacrity, i not thanks. The “revision” of the taritf, it i generally accepted. will lead to no mistaken downward pat it is going up, like traveling in an elevator to the top story of the sky- scraper. BALDWL ANSWERS BRITTE Representative Britten's sugges- tion for'a new Anglo-American naval conference of members of the American House of Representatives and the British House of Commons at some “neutral” point, such as Havana, was at least a maginificent gesture. Tired of the dclays and splitting. of the diplomats hair- and chagrined at the wrecking of mc| laté Geneva arms conference by armament ‘“experts,” Representa- tive Britten cabled an invitation di- rect to Stanley Baldwin as a mem- ber of Commons, and Baldwin, as premier of Great Britain, tried to teply throughi ‘the American State {lows its own inclinations.

Secretary Kellogg. once again a bit nervous at such high- handed smashing of constitutional . precedent, waived the answer aside and would not accept it for delivery to Mr. Britten. Put that was only a Everyone knew that, British le tive practice being what it i the British premier would be in- terrogated about the episode on the floor of Commons, ‘This happened in due course— within 24 hours—and the Premier gracefully told the world all about what he had cabled to. Britten— through the British envoy and the American State Department. 1t is found that the reply was very sympathetic with Mr. Britten's pro- posal, but really the invitation could not be accepted under the circum- stances because it was unofficial. The Premier held that Mr. Britten did not consult the American govern- ment, and that a parley such as sug- gested would be flying over the heads of the governments to no substantial purpose. All of which, though true enough, does not give Mr. Britten the im- pression his flight of fancy was in valn, He at least called public at- tention to the ship's hold of red tape that threatens to flounder the ships of state and perhaps the accredited governmental officials in the future will remember how Mr. Britten at least plumbed public sentiment and how that scems overwhelmingly in favor of more action and less pro- found obscurantism in the discus- sions. starter.
