Mrs. Smith said. ‘Also, domestic marketing of farm products depends on general prosperity and employment conditions so that the farmer benefits indirectly in increased foreign markets for products of industry.” Indiana industries mentioned as

t receiving concessions in the trade

agreements program are steel, automotive, chemicals and allied products; electrical machinery, canned or dried vegetables, furniture, glass, musical instruments, silk hosiery and a variety of meat products. Representatives of the league, who have been pressing for retention of the program, reported to the board that there was vigorous public opinion in the state backing reenactment of the present law. ‘They reported that the Congressional representatives from Indiana had in personal interviews expressed varying opinions. Several Congressmen have indicated definite support, some have definitely expressed opposition to the program, and some are still in doubt.

Asks It Be Continued

“The league believes the important question of re-enactment of the Reciprocal Trade Law is not one to be decided on party lines,” Mrs. Smith said. “For the first time in the history of the United States a method of scientifically adjusting tariffs has proved successful. The trade agreements program eliminates “log-roll-ing” and minimizes vicious lobbying by special interests, in order that the general national interest may prevail. - “In a warring world the reciprocal trade agreements program should continue to operate in order to promote . peaceful economic - relations wherever . possible. When wars abroad end, the program should be ready to contribute to the rehabilitation of sane trade relations among all nations as a foundation for enduring peace.”

win elections and influence

x rules ‘as “cardinal principles” for forceful speakers, th session of the School for “Practical Platform

Speaking” conducted by Mrs. Hugh Butler. Mrs. Roosevelt's rules on publio speaking: 1. Never make a speech unless you have something worthwhile to say. - : 2. Be conciliatory, never antagonistic, toward your audience. 3. When you are a novice, write out the first and last parts of your Speech. 2) : 4. Never read your speech; refer to notes. | 5. Learn to think on your feet. 6. If you have to dodge a ques tion, be frank and say “I don’t know” or “I haven't formed a definite “opinion.” 5 ” os 2 “THERE IS something terrifying about facing your fellow human beings and talking,” Mrs.

Roosevelt said. Mrs. Roosevelt said that it was important for novices to write out the conclusion of their speeches “because so many speakers have no terminal facilities.” Mrs. Butler gave the wives some advice on how not to jeopardize their husbands with the farm vote. Don’t wear streamlined hats that look like eggbeaters or let your slip show, Mrs. Butler told the wives, for that would cost more votes than a faux pas on tariffs. , Mrs. Butler, who seeks to teach women to capitalize on their personal advantages as well as their forensic ability, has given her course before. But this being an election year—and some Congressmen put the whole family to - work—she has had a larger re« sponse than usual: : As her class got. started she gave some general advice to Congressmen’s wives who are anxious to help their husbands get reelected.

2 ” 2

HERE ARE some of her “don’ts”: Don’t wear radically designed | hats—the farm belt doesn’t go for them. : "Don’t wear brilliantly colored clothes—they distract the audi- , ence. | " Don't wear too short skirts— they distract (some) audiences,

too. : Don’t let it be said back home that “Congressman so-and-so’s wife's slip shows”—that’s fatal. Don’t try to impress male audiences—women are at their best speaking to other women. Don’t try to tell a joke—women lack the sense of humor of men

and usually can't see the joke's point themselves. ~~.
