September 8 Declaring “protection" had become firmly established as a national policy. Julius H. Barnes, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, addressing the Des Moines Chamber of Commerce here, asserted that “there comes a time when abuse of that protection arouses a public re sentment out of which will grow cor rective measures." The protection policy, he said, had taken form not only in tariff duties against foreign goods, but through the immigration and labor laws. Cit ing the coal crises of recent years he questioned whether the “great public” should remain helpless to solve such difficulties, and he also suggested that the barrier against immigrants be raised in time of need. Lifting of Ban. “Would it not be a practical and. ef fective restraint on abuse of power.” he asked, “if, in case of manifest abuse as at present, immigration quotas were relaxed, and if agencies were free to contract the importation, under reasonable regulation, of work ers eager to accept terms prescribed by impartial arbitration in any indus which vitally affects the public? “Cannot there be vested in federal authorities, by proper action, dis cretion in exercising authority so that they may control and correct a monopoly when that monopoly has maintained an inexcusable assault upon the public interest and threat ens public welfare and social order? I.nhor Monopoly. "Cannot there also be in the public ■•election such exercise of the state licensing control as shall be impar tial'y used for public safety and not fop the possible unadmitted protec tion of a labor monopoly? “At is hardlv possible to overstate th* menace which this situation now presents to American industry and to the American home It is. in reality, a challenge to the orderly processes of society. But a solution can be found, if there is called into play the American qualities of courage to face squarely a question, endurance to test a principle, re sourcefulness to find an answer in self-protect ion."

Up to that i>oint his career did not differ from that of hundreds of other young sters before and after him. "Os course, his friendship with Frank W. Stearns, after he became president of the senate, was what really made him; it gave him big financial support, which was all he needed. But it was his becoming president of the senate that was the big break In his career and started him marching upward. “He was running for re-election as senator. His election was certain. Then the night of the election we suddenly learned the president of the senate the previous term had been licked. It was wholly unexpected; he had looked to win easily. That same night Cal packed up Ms little black handbag. X saw him striding toward the station, his bead bent against the wind. “ 'Where are you going, Cal?’ 1 asked. “ ‘Boston.’ he said, and disappeared In the dusk. "Do you know that Cal came back from Boston in two days? Yes, sir, two days, no more. And in his little black bag he had the signed pledges of a majority of the senate to vote for him as president. How he did it in that time I will never know or understand. Uncle Murray Crane, who ran the party, couldn’t have done it in that time. Those senators were scattered all over the state. But he lined 'em up somehow. I’ve always wondered what he did in Boston those two days. It was the snappiest piece of work 1 ever knew. And it was the stunt that lifted him above the crowd for the first time.
