Do they continue to follow the traditional Republican thinking that high tariff walls are necessary as a protection to 'American or do they feel that our tariff policleslfare not only outdated but are strangling business among the free nations? To shed some light on these questions the Institute had its nationwide corps Interviewers put a battery of three questions to a representative cross-section of Voters including Republicans Democrats and Independents The whole question of trade agreements and tariffs is of course extremely complicated For this reason the Institute limited this suiVey to those voters who have been following the free trade controversy Among rank-and-file Republicans 34 per cent are satisfied with tariffs the way they are But of those who favor a change in our tariff policy 32 per cent would favor lowering tariffs and 14 per cent would favor increasing them a margin of slightly better than 2-to-l Following tradition the best informed Democratic voters who favoz a change in tariff policy vote in favor of lowering tariffs by a' margin of 2-to-l -Nationwide the margin is 2 Vito-1 4n favor Thie first question sought to determine how many voters' have followed the controversy over freer trade with other countries as follows people say that our present tariffs should be increased Otfier people say that the should establish freer trade with other countries by lowering tariffs Have you heard or read anything about Yes 45 No 55 The next question put to voters: "By and large do you favor higher 'or lower tariffs than we have at Informed Voters Higher tariffs 16 Lower 40 iSame as: now 27 No opinion 17 1Q0?

If thii turns out to be the case1 the normal seasonal pickup in employ ment in the late spring will offset any fears that may exist as to thcl extent of the current or buslnes Recession The tone of the stock market in-j dicates that better buslnes- con4 dltions are expected later in thp year- Wheat and soybeans provli the fireworks in the grain mar4 ket during the past week 014 crop wheat futures were helped by the tightening of free wheat sup4 plies anefethe lack of delivery no- tices for the March contract Ix Chicago the March contract was the strongest gaining' cent during the past week jwith thq May up 4U cents and lithe new crop months -up 4U to 4 cents The continued lack of moisture is alarming and will be a factor in the new crop months if it con- tinues much longer as wq are no getting' into the growing season A report from the Kansas State 'College Extension Service issued Friday afternoon indicated 8 much greater damage Jrom the recent high winds in the western part of the state' than nad gen4 erally been indicated Soxhe of this type of damage occurs every year but the report indicates that the survey which they made shows the damage to be greater than normaj for this time of year This condition twill be watched very closely by the grain trade from now on ij Corn Com and oats did very little last week Com futures in Chicago ranged from cent lower on the March contract where heavy deliveries are to lie made on the March contract to 1 cents higher on the September contract the latter of which was probably influenced by the strength in September soybeans Little export business was reported in com and ample supplies have brought little interest into the feed grains: Oats were lower on the March contract where heavy deliveries are also to be- made to as much as 'fi higher oh some of the later months Soybeans still top the list for advances with gains ranging from 6 cents on the March contract to a large 14 cents on the September contract The March gains were held down by substantial deliveries to be made and liquidation in this month as longs 'transferred over to the September contracts in many cases Gain of 8 to 8 cents were registered in the May and July contracts The September contract selling at 55 cents discount under the July contract attracted most of the buying as this month is stOl about half old crop beans of which supplies are very short' Rye was only slightly higher gaining to cents or the week as little interest or news was available for this grain This Canadian market is still the key to movements in this grain and without strength in Canada there is little room for a rise inf this country without further imports from that country j1 i Airliner Crippled LONDON Feb 28 W-A new York-bound British airliner with 42

be tense and afraid Learning to relax is as important in flying as it is in everyday life If the student cannot conquer his fear then he has not learned one of the secrets of confident living and should go his merry way with feet rooted to earth There are confidence building maneuvers which the 'instructor may perform to demonstrate how safe and stable a modern plane is At first the novice thinks an airplane is a complicated mechanism to handle and that it must watched carefully to keep it behaving properly The confidence maneuvers show that the plane can take care of itself almost like the boy on a bike who rides down the street and shouts "Look no hands His life is in danger But the student pilot can take hands and feet away from the controls and the plane will fly by itself If a wing lrops a little the plane will1 toward the low wing but after a short time will return to leyel flight The throttle can be closed to tiling position and the nose of the plane will drop a little and dive slightly The plane is nose leavy This characteristic is built nto the airplane as a safety measure If the plane is allowed to fly "hands it will dive until it gains enough speed 1 to raise the nose to level flight again Modern aircraft have an amaz-ng amount of stability built into them in fact most planes will "fly better than most trainees can fly them during their first few hours of instruction A student can read all the flight theory in the Congressional Library but one fact he escape Flying like any other skill which humans acquire -can only be perfected through practice Rites

fer three years tells ef an American-Japa nese problem canscd by a danse la the Ui S-Jaan Reenritv Pact) By BILL ARQUARDT A ticklish problem in the relations' between Americans and Japanese until recently was created by the clause in the US-Japan Security Pact exempting soldiers from being tried in Japanese courts for offenses committed against Japanese nationals in off-duty hours Japanese protested that this was extraterritoriality the shameful treatment accorded China by the western powers which was one of the chief causes of the triumph of Communism there They were quick to point out that in NATO countries American soldiers were subject to trial in civil courts of the Countries in which they were stationed U8 State Department made an adroit retreat It agreed that the Japanese were right in diemanding the same treatment European countries received but pleaded that UB soldiers needed time to adjust to being no longer occupation Road Commission OK's $1940000 In New Contracts

the NATO treaties "became effective a clause subjecting US troops in Japan to trial in civil courts for offenses committed off Nation would be substituted for the former one In the interval a minor incident dramatized the problem to the world The summer of 1952 two British soldiers assaulted a Japa nese taxi driver and robbed him of about $5 The soldiers were caught by the Japanese police and thrown into jail When British military authorities demanded that the police turn over the culprits to them the Japanese government refused saying that since Japan was an independent nation the troops of foreign nations were subject to her laws and her courts The British government pro tested that since 8 troops were being tried in military courts British troops were entitled to the same privilege The Japanese government replied that US trCops enjoyed this privilege as a temporary one through a clause in the Security Pact but that no other nation not a signatory to the pact was entitled to it Britain had not signed the pact Feeling ran high in both countries Every day for weeks the story made headlines-in both the English and Japanese press It was a curious situation invoking national pride The British did not want to be treated as inferior to the Americans The Japanese did not want to be treated by the British as inferior to the NATO nationals among whom their troops were stationed Both British and Japanese looked askance at the Americans The British felt that the United States should have had the foresight to make the conditions of the Security Pact apply to all UN troops in Japan The Japanese felt that the Americans should not have opened the door to the British by requesting special treatment for itself A compromise: was finally worked out All three governments realized that the issue was dangerous to cooperation between the UN forces in the Korean War With pressure from the UB State Department plus realizafioif that their economic well-being was at stake prompting them the Japanese turned over the prisoners to British military authorities The episode itself was soon forgotten but the presence of British naval forces at Kure kept creating fresh aggravations Last September the UB State Department and the'' Japanese government worked out an agreement whereby UB troops would be subject to trial in Japanese courts for crimes committed off station and off duty The Japanese government agreed to conduct trials In a manner similar to that employed in UB courts and mete out equivalent punishment This agreement has relieved the tension somewhat but the situation is still delicate and requires a willingness to yield on both sides to be manageable The undeniable fact that the Japanese government does- not have complete independence In ruling the people within its boundaries is a source of irritation which is more likely to increase rather than diminish I Explosive situations still arise whenever UB soldiers commit crimes off station which on some technicality are taken out of Japanese courts and turned over to American military courts 4 Vg A LOANS UP TO SI 000 0MsE Half-Size Prize our magically slimming spring suiter

voters who have attended college 54 per cent would lower tariffs only eight per cent would increase them Each informed voter who said he favored a change in our tariff policy was then asked: do you feel 4 hat The 'principal reasons given for favoring lower tariffs were that they would promote trade freer they would mean lower prices they would eliminate the need for dollar aid to foreign countries and they would help to establish better international feeling Those in favor of higher tariffs said they were necessary to protect American products to protect UB wages and employment and to keep certain products from coming into this country For more than 170 years the prevailing viewpoint favored high tariffs as a means of building up American industry with foreign trade policies dominated largely by special Interest groups who wanted protection Advocates of lower tariffs contend that in the future our trade policy should be based on the national interest not on the special
