proposal for WORLD TARIFF PARLEY LOOMS Democrats Look With Favor on Revision Downward by All Nations. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Prria Staff Correapondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—DemocraLs may soon propose a*world tariff conference to consider scaling down of duties by all nations simultaneously. This plan has been discussed by members of the party’s congressional policy committee and has won favor. Sentiment within the party is dominantly against an attempt at general revision of the HawleySmoot act this year. Some individual modifications may be suggested. Creation of a public counsel, to represent consumers when changes in tariff rates are before the tariff commission, may be sponsored. But the chances are that the party’s general tariff policy for the time being will rest on some general proposal for a world conference, at which nations would attempt to devise a formula by which each would scale down in a way not to disturb present relative positions. The theory is that if this were done, every nation still would have the same relative degree of tariff protection as now. Though a majority of Democrats oppose the Hawley-Smoot act as too high, powerful reasons deter them from a general assault to overturn it now. First, Democrats are divided internally. Some are high protectionists for articles produced in their states. Massachusetts Democrats want high protection for shoes, Arizona Democrats want it for copper, Louisiana Democrats want it for sugar. Some western Democrats want it for wool. Florida wants it for citrus

Direct Elks’ Charity Boxing Show

fruits and other produce. Party leaders are not anxious to shake these skeletons in public just now. Second, world conditions are so disturbed that bad as many Democrats believe the present tariff to be, they fear the uncertainties of a prolonged revision fight would tend to aggravate business depression. Third, such an attempt only could be a gesture anyway. It would monopolize months of time in congress and probably would meet a White House veto if it passed congress. It would be a laborious, risky and in the end futile party maneuver.

Cox, a Greencastle (Ind.) boy who has been a sensation in local rings, will be meeting another young boxer, considered real “big shots” by local boxing fans. Directors of the charity events shown in the above photo are: First row, left to right, E. C. Wolf, chairman, Tracy Cox, and Harry Bason, acting manager of Cox.

Should the Democrats capture both house and the presidency next year, this situation would be altered. Those supporting the general tariff conference proposal suggest that if a formula were adopted, it should be put into effect by legislative and parliamentary action in the respective countries, rather than by treaty. The plan was advanced by Newton D. Baker of Ohio in an address at the Williamstown (Mass.) Institute of Politics last summer. It now is urged by such Democratic tariff experts as Senator Hull (Tenn.) and Senator Costigan (Colo.).

FEAR OF POISON GAS IS GRIPPING ALL EUROPEANS Civil Populations Preparing for Protection in the Next War. By United Press GENEVA, Dec. 18—European civil populations steadily are preparing themselves for protection against gas attacks in the “next European war.” With almost every European nation surrounded by potential enemies that could wipe out almost the entire population within a few hours, the idea of protection has come to be a very important one to the average European citizen. Although the League of Nations launched an international convention in 1925, prohibiting bacteriological warfare and warfare with asphyxiating gas, the latter has created little, if any, confidence among civil populations. In the first place, only thirtythree nations have signed the convention to date, and of these fifteen have not ratified it. In addition, virtually all those

that have ratified it have done so with reservations. In the meantime, individual governments and even the civil populations themselves are taking the question of adequate protection Into their own hands. Switzerland, which, first because of its size and secondly because it is surrounded entirely by larger nations that could launch a gas attack over its entire territory in two or three hours, already has gone deeply into the subject. The problem is being handled both by the army and the Swiss federal council. The former insists that the best protection against aerial gas attacks is the building up of a vast military aviation force. The federal council says adequate distribution of gas masks and ample instructions and discipline will be sufficient. In Switzerland it is recognized that the results of a gas attack would not be especially disastrous in the rural districts. But what Switzerland fears most is the danger to the larger cities. In many villages and cities in France, gas masks now can be purchased at the local drug stores. Organizations of former combatants are urging every one to equip themselves with them. Poland has asked the League of Nations to launch av the coming disarmament conference an international convention that would insure world-wide sanitary and humanitarian aid to any country that has been the victim of a gas attack.

The propositions voted on today would give Murray additional power; make him responsible for state appropriations; raise taxes as high as 10 per cent on yearly incomes of $10,000; provide a $2,000,000 fund for free text books; require escheatment of lands owned by corporations to the state within ten years.
