iS&sJ IN MINNEAPOLIS i
By PAUL MALL ON
(CopvriRht, 1034, by Paul Mallon)
WASHINGTON, D. C, April 6. The
outstanding political dance team of
the spring season Is that of Messrs,
Bull, Dickinson, Wallace and Sayre.
Their soft shoe work on the tariff
bill Is nothing short of colossal,
They have been tiptoeing mysterious
ly around the congressional stage for
weeks, afraid their shoes will squeak.
They have been so gracefully decep
tlve that they have become known to
-their Jntlmates as "the perfect tariff
"ballet."
What makes their feat more diffi-j
la- 4. k. -fm-f tint tholf are ViA.r-.fr '
pursued by a crowd of Inartistic Re
publicans. These Republicans keep
demanding to know what this la all
about, what tariffs are going to be
bargained away, what Industries and
farmers here are going to be affected.
The only slip so far waa made by
Agriculture Secretary Wallace. He ad
mitted once that perhaps sugar was
one thing the tariff bargainers ml&ht
consider. The Republicans leaped all
over him and nearly ruined the act.
State Secretary Hull and bis as
sistant, Sayre. have pleaded confi
dential Immunity for diplomatic bus
iness. Assistant Commerce Secretary
Dickinson Is being artfully evasive.
Democratic senators and represen
tatives are keeping In etep with the
ballet leaders and are not letting the
Republicans know what Is in their
minds.
This footwork Is of course all po
litical by-play. The truth could be
told. But It is such a little truth no
one wants to let It out until the
tariff bill Is safely passed.
No one should tell the Republic
ans, but up to date the administra
tion has rocelved only three tariff
bargaining offers from abroad. Two
of these came from Latin-American
countries, one from Europe.
Others are expected when the tar
iff bill passes. In fact, the real in
side Teason w.hy Germany offered
that token payment on her debt Is
that she expects to get some of that
RFC. money to finance some buying
here. She will be disappointed.
What the .tariff bargainers intend
to specialize on is the Importation
of products which do not compete
directly with American industrial or
agricultural products. This narrows
their field down to sun things as fine
laces, highest grade woolens, special
liquors and wines, colfee, etc. They
plan more bargaining with Latin
' American countries than with any
one else.
They have no wholesale bartering
arrangement In mind and cannot get
any until world conditions improve
considerably.
A peek inside the Peck export cor
poration will give you a slant on the
vastness of operations so far.
Mr. Peek's corporation is a few
rooms and desks. They are thronged
with people dally, but not exporters
and Importers. The visitors are near
ly all looking for Jobs.
His three banks are three letter
flies, one for Cuba, one for Russia
and one for the rest of the world.
Only the insiders apparently real
ize yet that Peck Is virtually a man
without a Job.
His intimates suspect that only an
extraordinary enthusiasm for his
task keeps him at it. He seems to
hope that some day It will work out
all right.
So far, the other government de
partments have been co-operating by
secretly throwing lassoes over his
neck. Any trade agreement he makes
must be a treaty, yet he has no
power to make treaties. The state
department must do that. Also, he
must get his money from the RFC.
Extension of the licensing power
of the NRA Is expected to be slipped
s Into a general bill in the closing mo
ments of congress. .
Certain authorities In the adminis
tration (not Including General John
son) are making .arrangements for
that. Johnson Is not opposed to it.
All he .has said is that he wltl not
recommend such a course because he
Is afraid of opening the subject to
congressional debate. That would be
a direct retreat.
Everyone is willing that Johnson's
statement stand undisputed until the
current agitation against the brain
trusters dies down.
The Senator Wagner-General John
son rift exlsta and may become lm-

SCAN EFFECTS OF
STATE MONOPOLY
PORTLAND, April 6. (AP) Prohi
bition leaders of Oregon will under
take an accounting here Sunday and
Monday of the effect of the repeal
of the state's dry laws, and of the
operation of the state monopoly on
liquor distribution and sale.
Under the sponsorship of the Ore
gon antl-llquor league more than 2000
persons are expected to attend the
Portland meeting. Many will come
from all sections of the state.
In addition to considering, the
Knox law administration program, to
which some serious objection has
been voiced ' by the prohibitionists,
the drys expect to advance a program
of their own. This Is to be formu
lated from a report of a committee
on findings.
Charles Haffke, superintendent of
the Oregon antl-llquor league, said
today incomplete tabulations from
questionnaires distributed over the
state "indicate liquor is being sold
and used in increasing amount by
youths and in the home; that drunk
enness Is growing rapidly and drunken
driving is increasing."
Haffke said the questionnaires were
distributed to superintendents of
schools, leading business men, out
standing women, leaders in young
people's activities and ministers, irre
spective of their position on the wet
and dry question.

STORE PRICE LIST
PORTLAND, Ore., Apirl 8. (AP)
Renewed efforts toward economy In '
administration of Oregon's liquor j
store system may result In further j
reduction in the price of liquor to
the consumer.
Some stores will be closed and con
verted into agencies; some more em
ployes will be dismissed, and the
three supervisors may take over addi
tional duties, eliminating the need of
some traveling employes now on the
payrolls.
The state liquor commission spent
a busy afternoon Thursday discuss
ing methods of economy and check
ing on operation of t&e store and
agency system to date.
It was announced that during
March the state sold $120,603 worth
of liquor, and made 913,854 In sale
of permits.
George Sammls, state administra
tor, predicted that by the end of the
year receipts will reach the 1,500,
000 mark.

visor for eastern Oregon, suggested
that the. three supervisors, Ed Mor
ris of western Oregon, Larry Hick
man of the Portland area, and he,
take over the additional work of
auditing the reports of the stores
and agencies, eliminating the ex
pense of three traveling auditors.
Morris reported he had let out ten
employes In his district.
The introduction of two new lines
of whiskey, priced at 70 cents a pint,
found a welcome reception, Sammls
said. In the Klamath Falls store six
cases were sold within one hour, he
said. All stores and agencies have
placed heavy orders.

CHINESE FEARFUL
To Seize Peiping and Put
Emperor Kang Teh Over
Northern Province Is Alle
gation Pu-Yi Protested
By Joseph E. Sunrkey
(Associated Press Foreign Staff)
GENEVA, April 6. (AP) Chinese
circles alleged today that Japan plans
to seize Felping and put Emperor
Kang Teh of Manchukuo on the
throne there as emperor of the
northern provinces of China.
At the request of Wellington Koo,
Chinese delegate to the league of na
tions, the league distributed to all
its members China's protest against
the enthronment of Henry Pu-Tl as
emperor of Manchukuo, the Japanese-created
state.
The action was considered a diplo
matic move on the part of China
against Japan.
Call Pu-YI Puppet
The protest, which was made by
Wang Chlng-Wel, foreign minister of
China, on the occasion of the en
thronement ceremony, calls Pu-Vl a
puppet and his assumption of the
imperial title high treason against
China.
Koo particularly was asked by his
government to protest to the com
mittee handling the problem against
recognition of Manchukuo.
The committee will meet May 14,
at which time, it waa stated, Koo is
likely to present additional proposals
with the object of strengthening the
various powers concerned In their de
termination not to recognize the new
state.

LONDON. April 6. (AP) The As

itative American source that the
United Statea would cooperate In

against a nation found guilty of vio

vided the United States could be the
sole Judge of whether such action
la Justified.
This fact became known following
a conference between Norman R.
Davis, United States ambassador-at-large,

foreign secretary.
It was said the United State
would not commit herself to take
such action In advance but would
Insist upon retaining h' Independ

right to Judge for herself "all the

nation." 1
In the current exchangee of mem
