Congress U Urifr debaUS. As a da lust finishing bats K wasnt much. The buik of tt.waa - not In good faith. The WU was merely so emergency measure, designed to cover ten months. Moreover, It was only a partial bill, dealing with agricultural products alone. Altar ths first two or three weeks of December neither party regarded the bill seriously. It Is true It has passed con gress by virtue of a certain amount of undesetandlng between the two parties, but It will be vetoed by the president and congress will not pass it over the veto. Tbs emergency bill is as good' as dead and out of ths way, but ths tariff la not out of ths wAy. In fact, ths tariff la just ahead of us. .. We are at ths moment entering what win be a thoroughgoing discussion of the tariff policy. Even as ths emergency measure dies, ths house committee on ways and means Is busy holding hearings looking to a permanent tariff bill. This permanent bill will be introduced as soon as ths naw session gate under way, ' i Two Subjects Paramount. ' As It usually takes about nlns months for a tariff bill to go through congress, ws can taka it for granted that after ft few weeks ws can look forward to practically the entire remainder of the present year M s forum for argument about what this country is going to do as to tariff policy.' At the same time, there Is now, and will be for many months to coma, a subject which is certain to In- -, tolvs an aim oet squally large degree of discussion. This subject Is ths 110,000,-00,0debt Which various European governments ows us. That these two subjects are indissolubly unitsd Is known by every person who has a students interest in the tariff and by everybody else who baa thought into the future with any degree of thoroughness. In ths course of time this fact that the two subjects are indissolubly united will be known to congress. Already, in the debating ever the emergency tariff now dying, some glimmerings of light appeared in the utterances of a few of the speakers on both aides. Choice Up to Congress. i .. ' Party Realignment Possible. , m The truth Is ws are face to face with a party alignment on this subject of protection. Congressman Rainey saw It, at least dimly, when hs said We may approach a time when there will be a realignment ef parties, but eo far ee I am ebneerned, no matter whether that realignment occurs or not, 1 propose to stand for the principles for which my party has Stood. Apparently. Congressman Rainey wasn't very comfortable about this new reewit to the Democratic ranks. He was a little startled to find among the ragged remnants of his party a mysterious stranger In a frock coat end a altk hat a capitalist. an easterner, who pays high taxes, who Invests money In foreign loans, and who wants It made possible for Europe to repay those loans. Of course, there is Still e huge pert of the prosperous end capitalistic sections of the seat who havs a larger stake in their role ef manufacturer than In their role of investor, but that is right where the eleevage comes. A large section of the Republican party that has formerly recognised no god but protection Is now certain to consider whether they had not better bow down e. to the god of facilitated Imports from Only Two Ways Out. Of course, there are just two, and only two, ways out for these high protectionists. Both arc merely partial; both will be exceedingly unpalatable and both will put the Republican leaders mort: uncomfortably on the defensive when the Democratic debaters get after th'em. One way Is this: Continue the policy of high protection against countries which don't .owe us any money and make reciprocal treaties 'With countries that ara our debtors, The ether la to continue high protection on some commodities and as to ths rest adopt a policy of free trade, thus a frankly giving eur debtor, countries monopoly of production in certain- classes - of commodities. Even partial as either of these policies would be, there are obvious rocks In the wey of carrying them out. Also, either erf them will leave the whold Republican epithet party eubject to the taunting which Senator Harrison rolled Senator Smoot ths other day. Senator Smoot gets on Senator Harrison's " nerves. When Senator Harrison asked for unanimous consent to Insert In the record a couple of columns of Democratic tariff doctrtna from the New Tork World, Senator Smoot objected In the Interest of saving white paper for the government, ' Thereupon the senator from Mississippi remarked that If the senator from Utah would remove himself from the room for a few minutes the bustneeo of the senate would be facilitated. And a little later on the Irritability of , the senator .from Mleelsslppl reached a point where he hurled toward Senator Smoot an Insult which, considering the . Immsculsteness of the tsrtff reputation orhfi h Senator Smoot has hullt up through a lifetime ef Vigilant devotion, almost passed the bound of legitimate repartee the senator from Miaatsalppl called the senator frost Utah spotted protection tot, ,u T. , - & Adams Gardner Company y KEAsas before committee as to ths relative worth of capital ships and flying machines, high naval officers disclosed that a bomb, weighing 1600 pounds and loaded with T, N. T-- , had been exploded recently on the old battleship Indiana, without destroying any of the vessel below its protective ' ' i deck. 4 The explosion, they said, would not damhave sunk the ship and did not age her below tbe water line, although her hull was not nearly ao' strong as those of modern superdreadnoughts. The officers were called after Bear r Admiral William F. Fullam, retired, acadnaval the of superintendent emy, had urged suspension of part of the 1913 building program to determine the future value of capital ahipg in view ef the development of aircraft ... and eub marines. ....... ., Tbe admiral said that the navy as afa now constituted was was disfair," with surface ships only, organised and unprepared for war. He urged that the money saved Ty suspending work on the ships be given to the immediate development of the sir forces and submarines, so that the navy into what might speedily be converted he ealled a "three-plan- e fighting machine," composed of battleships, aircraft and submarines. Adnarat "Coontxr'cbieffTJayal opar ations, called by Senator Poindexter, Republican, Washington, wbo prepared the committee recent report favoring capital ships, opposed any suspension of work on the superdreadnoughts and battle cruisers building or authorized. He said the naval general board believed in submarines and also in aviation, and pointed out that it bad asked congress to provide for two speedy airplane carriers to serve with tbe fleet "The board." he said, "approves experiments in bombing and with torpedoes at sea on battleships nnder radio control between now and June 1, and we must study tbe Offset carefully. The board does not believe we should let up on battleships or battle cruisers. With them we are safe as possible, until the air has been developed." Similar views were expressed by Rear Admiral Taylor, chief constructor of the navy, and Rear Admiral McVey, chief of naval ordnance. "Two nations are in advanee of ns with guns on their ships, Ad miral McVey, said. "We have nope and already suffer that disadvantage. Captain T. T. Craven, chief of naval aviation, said aviation had a bright future and that all nations were adding its power to their naval strength. Greater Than Was : 9?
