CANADA TO ADOPT
DUAL TABEFF PLAN
Experts Declare United States
Must Do Likewise or

By W. W. Jermane.
"Washington, No v. 11.The adminis
tration is puzzled over the difficulties
which are presented by the Germaen
tariff situation. It intends to its
fall length to preserve American mar
kets in that countrye, and to demand
that Germany give us a "square deal,

worked out, even the president does not
yet know.
The president is convinced that it
will not do to '-'make faces'* at Ger
many, because we value her friendship
and good will nor does he think that
we ought to put a chip on our shoulder.
It is the apparent purpose of the ad
ministration, while maintaining a po
sition of loyalty to American interests,
to go its full length toward placating
he German people. The immediate
problem is to discover some method of
action which will give that result.
Several remedies which come naturally
into mind as soon as the subject is
mentioned involve action by congress,
which it may be difficult to secure.
The executive acting alone can do al
most nothing. To bring the question
up in congress might involve a general
tariff debate, including the maximum
and minimum theory, and the leaders
in the two houses seem determined that
there shall be nothing of that sort the
coming winter. The only course left
open to the president, so far. as can
now be seen, is to frame up a trade
treaty with Germany, under which we
will admit certain of her products at
rates below those charged in our tariff
law, in return for similar concessions
to American products in that country.
But here again the president runs
against, not congress as a whole, but
the senate, which is the more stubborn
and refractory branch of itthe con
gressional "wicked partner." The
fate of previous reciprocity treaties is
a matter of common knowledge, and
the question naturally arises as to
whether this proposed treaty with Ger
many would fare any better. There
is some slight chance that it might
Facts, Not Theories, to Pace
There is a condition and not a the
ory confronting this country in the. new
German tariff while nothing 0,1 this
sort appeared in connection with any or
the Kasson treaties. Existing^ trade
with Germany, which it has taken us
ma ny years to establish, seems des
tined to material curtailment, and all
because we refuse to make certain rel
atively unimportant trade concessions
to that country. The senate may, in
the face of this new condition, look
with more favor upon a new German
reciprocity treaty than it did upon the
treaties negotiated during the first Mc
Kinl ey administration.
N "matter what the senate ay or
ay not do, the president will discuss
the question in his message, call atten
tion to the fact that the executive
branch of the government is without
power to cope satisfactorily with it,
and in effect pass it up to congress for
consideration. In doing this, he will
focus public attention upon it, and
mayhap prevail upon the senate to con
sent that something shall be done.
The Canadian Problem.
The official announcement. has been
made that Canada is to adopt the maxi
mum and minimum principle wh en it
gets ready in the coming winter to re
vise its tariff, and many people in
Washington believe that the United
States, in order to be ready to meet
Canada on a fair field in a contest for
trade, ought to adopt a similar prin
ciple. Our failure to do so, it is pre
dicted by the experts, will place us at
a disadvantage. If Canada is to h*ve
a flexible and adjustable tariff weapon
to measure against our own inflexible
and unadjustable one, we will lose. This
adjustable weapon will make it possi
ble for Canada, on a moment's notice,
to adapt itself to any new commeroaal
condition, no matter what its signifi
cance, while he United States, no mat
ter how serious the handicap thus pre
sented, could do nothing until a meet
ing of congress, and under certain con
ditions which might prevail in that
body, might do nothing even then.

CORN EXPORTERS
SPOILING MARKET
Cereal Is Shipped in Such Condi
lion as to Turn Europeans
Against America.
By W. W. Jermane.
Washington, Nov. 11.A report is
sued by the department of commerce
and labor today says it is rather dis
couraging, after the United States has
exhausted every effort to secure markets
for American corn in Europe, to read
reports accusing United States shippers
of a most reprehensible degree of care
lessness in preparing corn for export.
Grain dealers England and all over
Europe^are complaining because of the
condition of corn they receive, and their
action has-already.reache a point where
it is preventing an.increase oi export
tradevfentl even threatening radically to
reduce il unless certain' reforms are ac
complished here.
This official statement is of interest
at present in view of the bumper corn
crop in this country and the expecta
tion that export orders are to be in
creased.
American Consul Breman, in discuss
ing the situation, says in part:
"For years complaints on the part of
importers of American corn or maize
have been loud and numerous. The cer
tificates covering these shipments in
many instances proved to be utterly
false, grain upon arrival here frequently
being wretched condition, damp and
overheated, moldy and filthy. A the
firms to whom these shipments were
consigned could find no redress any
where, their losses were very heavy.
Time and again' American consuls have
sent in reports on this subject, warning
our people interested in export of this
particular grain not to ship any but
corn of prime quality, but to the pres
ent time all efforts in this direction
have beeto of no avail."

Pennsylvania Man Offers Them
$5,000 if They Will Refrain
from Profanity.
Journal Special Service.
Bryn Mawr, Pa., Nov. 11.At the
meeting of the Bryn Mawr fire com
pany last night a letter was read from
Samuel M. Vauclain of the Baldwin lo
comotive works, who lives on the old
Lancaster road, near Rosemount, offer
ing to donate $500 to the firemen's
treasury provided the company will
adopt house rules barring all profanity.
Mr. Vauclain said he was anxious
that no profanity should be allowed in
the firehouse, that sometimes in the ex
citement of a fixe members thought
lessly said things not good to hear, and
that as a result a passerby gained a
wrong impression. added, in clos
ing his letter:
"When you cant hold in any longer,
just send over to my house and I will
conre right over and do all the swearing
you desire. Also, wh en you post such
rules as will do away with profanity, I
will send a check for $500 to the com-
pany."
It took the company but a few mo
ments to decide upon a committee on
rules and to make sure that they will
conform with Mr. Vauclain' wishes, he
was one of the body. This committee
will meet in the near future and en'
deavor to earn the $500.
