Some are frankly worried over the beating of drums by governmental propaganda agencies in their communities. The majority are keep ing their heads above the clouds ard modifying their acceptance of th agreement. Tariff policies have always been a here of contention with politicial parties. In recent years it has been difficult to draw a line of demarcation between the tariff programs of the Democrats and Republicans- The eld fashioned Democrat was known as a "low-tariff" or free trade advocate. : The program of the National Recov- : ery Administration if carried to its j logical conclusion will undoubtedly ; forcf Democrats jnto open advocacy! of protective tariff measures. Secre- • tiiry of State Hull has been a low- j tariff specialist during his long care«t ' in the Senate and House and now finds himself out on a limb. Hul had plenty to say about abolishing tariff barriers at the I ondon j Economic Conference this summer. ! He may be obliged to recant if the j piesent trend in official quarters j reaches a point where the President; will have to proclaim tariff increases.j There is talk that Hull may be forced! to walk the plank amd resign, lin- • porters of low cost foreign goods are I alarmed at the prospect of addition-; al import duties to compensate domestic producers for the forced payment of higher wages. Tjfoe indictment of Alphonse Capene and others of his tribe of rack- j eteers on a criminal charge is hailed j by Federal law enforcement agencies, j They feel that it presages a new era j . in criminal prosecution and if sue-1 cessful will permit the shelving of j petty legal contrivances as pending gangesters to jail for income tax violations. . Presecutors have always been apolegetic for this subterfuge because it made them the laughing stock of the criminal element. The next step is to plug the loopholes in national and state laws which permit hoodlums to escape through technicalities or intimated juries. The Department of Justice wants to put a crimp in ..the kidnaping epidemic before it tspreads to all localities as a substitute for bootlegging. The patronage problems which annoy legislators of ttie dominating! party are not weighing heavily on the President. He is giving his full time I to industrial and agricultural relief j activities and routine matters of his I high office. A secretarial barricade ha* been erected against office-seekers no matter what their rating as party workers so that the time cf the Chief Executive will not be taken up on relatively trivial matters. Postmaster General Farley has a perfect alibi for postponement of patronage demands by simply stating it has been referred to the President for consideration. If appearance counts for anything, the political "pie-counter" has been ignored in the selection of deputy administrators and Other special assistants to General Johnson, the- Industrial Recovery Administrator, and his pal, George Peek, Administrator for Agriculture. The staffs have b6en recruited froi^i various localities ar.d the men are usually known to these chieftains .for their ability--not ' their political preferences or rating. Dr. Isador Lubin, rcently appointed director of the Bureau of Labor Statistics will soon haye an opportunity to test the validity of his private studies regarding unemployment- As a research specialist, Dr. Lnbin conducted an inquiry into the absorption of the unemployed. His observations of a cross-section showed that relatively few men returned to their old jobs. It was established, however that workers were usually employed at jobs under similar requirements of the post they had lost or vacated. Dr. Lubin stated that theie was a certain percentage of unemployed wbo Were unwilling to accept jobs even in hard ' times which would place them in a lower category as regards to skill or • income. This type preferred to loaf and suffer raher than take temporary work which might be considered a "come-down" in th« eyes of their colleagues. ...a 1'* ,-"V Moat Decisive Battles if ten decisive battles may be chosen •ttoey are probably the battle of Marathon', B.
