London Times Defends Wilson and Underwood;
Criticises Mr. Hearst’s Message About Tariff.
LONDON. April 17.—Mr. Hearsfs attack on Wilson's fiscal policy as
an imitation of British policies is largely quoted by Washington corres
pondents of principal London papers. The London Times is specially in-
terested by Mr. Hearst's reference to itself. It prints a long dispatch con-j
talning such phrases:
"Mr. Hearst’s newspapers have enormous aggregate circulation.
• * * He is always ready to sling mud at the British Lion."
The London Times correspondent concludes thus:
"It is possible Mr. Hearst may have reasons of his own for believing
Mr. Wilson is a confirmed free trader, but if he is alluding to the Under
wood bill, then his understanding of free trade is as faulty as his knowl
edge of the general policy and fiscal views of The Times. Official expert
analysis of the Underwood bill just published confirms my qptimate ofi
its protective nature. The average ad valorem rates work out about 25
per cent reduction on the present tariff rates. When taken in connection
with the retaliatory features the measures are a far cry from British free
trade.”

WASHINGTON. April
signed editorial by William
17.—'The
Randolph
Hearst, published In the Georgian
yesterday, on the Federalist!!* wnden-
«ie> of President Wilson and also
treating of the President’s tariff
views, will he put into the Congres
sional Record and sent in general
distribution throughout the country'.
Representative Willis, of Ohio, en
deavored to get unanimous consent
for this purpose, but he was met.
with an objection by Representative
Hardwick, of Georgia.
“It Is a most interesting and in
structive article.” commented Mr.
Willis in making his request.
“Never mind about the objection
now,” said Mr. Mann, the Republican
leader “wo will find a way later to
put the article in the record.”
Wilton Silent After Reading.
Mr. Hearst’s editorial was read ear
ly by President Wilson. He so in
formed the newspaper men, hut de
clined to make any* comment.
The editorial furnished the topic oi
conversation and discussion in the
cloak rooms and at private offices.
Many Democratic members were loth
to make formal comment; they are
seeking Federal i atronage from the
President. They want to remain on
good terms with the Executive until
the appointments are made. The ful
filment was heard in the
lowing
< ’apitoI
Senator O’Gorman, of New York—
“1 read Mr. Hearst’s letter with a
great deal of in'erest.”
Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon—
“I agree lu the main with many of
the things Mr Hearst has said. I
do not believe w • should be too rad
ical in cur revision of the tariff. 1
favor downward revision, Demo
cratic revision, that will reduce the
rates materially; but these results
should be worked out gradually.
Some of the rates that* have been
agreed upon by the House Commit
tee and approved in the caucus arc
too low. Mr. Hearst lias stated his
position clearly, und i! will have
weight.”
“Argument by Hearst
Will Do Good for
Whole Country”
Senator Norris, of Nebraska—•*[
approve of the tariff argument ad
vanced by «Mr. Hearst and think it
will do good throughout the country.
Of course. I could not be expected to
agree with Mr. Wilson’s tariff views,
and I hope they will not prevail, for
he wants our duties removed to too
great a degree. Whether he is going
o use tl ■ offices ;o control votes fot
the tariff bill it is too early to say.
He has not don* so yet. If he re

The answer is bowling. The pastime

is hailed as the greatest cure for

of the reasons the Elks are busy rush

QEVELOPSA CHILD'
Drama League Speaker Says
Theatricals Are Best Means of
Teaching Self-Expression.
Amateur theatricals are the greatest
means at hand for the development of
the modern child, according to Mrs.
A. Starr Rest, of Chicago, chairman of
the organization committee of the
Drama League of America, who spoke
before a notable gathering of women
this morning at the Carnegie Library.
Mrs. Beat expressed the hope that
Atlanta would take the lead in the
South in organizing branches of the
league. She suggested that a training
school for directors of child work and
a civic theater be established here.
Give Self-Expression.
“The plays that children have given
under the auspices of the Drama
League,” she said, “have been of in
calculable benefit, both to the children
and the work. We have never tried
to make them professionals or in any
sense to train them for the stage. It
has been the only means of self-ex
pression afforded poor children. It
has given them self-confidence and
extended their knowledge of good lit
erature.
“Our work amohg children on the
playgrounds has been of the greatest
benefit. There was an instance in
Chicago where a girl of 10, carrying
a small baby and with her 2-year-okl
sister dragging at her skirts, attended
every rehearsal.
Children Keen Judges.
“Children are the keenest judges of
the good and the bad in the plays
which they present. Nothing means
anything to them but the play. The
actors do not count.**
At the conclusion of her address
Mrs. Best discussed the methods of
work and organization informally
with the women present. This after
noon she talked before another meet
ing at the Georgian Terrace.

denounced it.”
Senator Poindexter, of Washington
“I rea 1 the tetter of Mr. Hears!
with much interest. I am in hearty
accord with him in his clearly ex
press'd views on reciprocity and the
reasons he assign.**. It is one of the
best expositions of that subject I
have heard for a long time. This
thing of reducing our rates to the
lowest notch without demanding
.somethin?, of th- other fellow is go
ing to do us harm If we are play
ing the business game, and want to
win business for the American peo
ple, we ought not to lay our hand on
the table and let out opponents see
it. It is not good business sense to
throw down all our trade barriers and
lot foreign nations come into our
market arid not demand something
from them lji return. Mr. Hearst’s
letter car. be read by all Americans
with profit.”
Senator Townstnd, of Michigan
“I haven’t read anything in a long
time that pleased me more than this
letter of Mr. Hearst. I was surprised
to see it coming from such a dis
tinguished Democrat and a man of
such Influence in his party, but it
•ings true in every word. It is logi
cal and clear, and what is more to
the point, it is tin truth bluntly
spoken and easily understood. With
the newspapers he publishes to cir- .
culate such a letter these words of
warning from Mr. Hearst to the Dem
ocrats of the country are bound to
have a great influence upon the
thought of the country.’
Wilson’s Program
Means Disaster for
Home Industries”
"It is plain tha: President Wilson’s
mind is bent toward free trade. He
speaks of artificial conditions in the
I’nited States and insists that Amer
ican manufacturers and producers
must operate un tor competitive con
ditions. Those ‘onditions as Presi
dent Wilson woind impose them, ap
pointed out by Mr. Hearst, would
mean disaster for American indus
tries. If rates are reduced to the
minimum figure we are forced into
competition with foreign ('heap ma
terial and cheap labor, and American
labor and American material cannot
compote with the tariff barrier com
pletely removed. Mr. Hearst makes
•ds point with regard to reciprocity
in such clean-cut English that any
body ought to be able to see It. As
he asks. What earthly good will It do
if we tear down the tariff and got
nothing by way of a bargain in re
turn. 1 YY« simply open our own mar
kets to our competitors and do noth
ing that rains us an additional dol
lar of trad*' abroad.
Rccipi < ity is the only solution
and Mr Hearst is wise in seeing it
nd courageous in expressing it so
clearly.”
Speaker Clark—“Because of the
pressure of business 1 have had to
lay the article aside to-day for close
reading and study to-night. Until 1
haw gone over carefully what Mr.
Hearst has to say 1 will make no
comment.'*
Representative Pou, of North Caro
lina—“From the comments I have
heard th article has in it sound rea
soning . d «is important.’’
Representative Burnett, of Alabama
"1 have had rtw doubts about the
wisdom of reviving the old Federal
ist h custom of tin President reading
his address to Congress. I have be-
ieved ilwavs tha» the plan of reci
procity advocated by Mr. Hearst was
imre Democratic doctrine, and should
be carried in the Tariff bill.”

Friedmann Refuses
U. S. More of Serum
Scientist Declares He Has Given
Health Department Sufficient
for Tests.
WASHINGTON, April 17.—Dr.
Friedrich F. Friedmann, it developed
to-day, has refused a request of the
Federal Public Health Service for
more of the serum which he claims is
a “cure” for tuberculosis. Surgeon
General Blue is reported to have asked
Dr Friedmann for further samples
of hit* serum for purposes of analysis.
Dr. Friedmann is declared to have
said that he had already supplied
Burgeon Anderson, director of the hy
gienic laboratory, with a little plati
num “loopful,” and that he could spare
no more.
The amount furnished by the Berlin
scientist, according to Burgeon Gen
eral Blue, was a mere drop.
