WHY NOT PROTECTION?
The Women’s National Committee
of the American Defense Society is
distributing throughout the cities of
the East, and perhaps elsewhere, col
ored circulars, showing a Hun work
man with a knife in his right hand
and a torch in his left, evidently cre
ating havoc in some French village.
Opposite is a dapper young man, evi
dently a traveling man, trying to sell
some German-made goods in the Unit
ed States. Below are these words:
THIS HUN
who killed, burned and pillaged
IS THE SAME MAN
who wantsMiu sell you his goods.
NEVfelt FORGET IT!
This is all right; but why not ac
complish the same thing and in a
much more thorough manner, by im
posing an adequate protective tariff
ont all foreign-made, including Ger
man-made goods, which we can make
Tight here in this country, to the ex
f‘- tent of our wants?
Adequate protection will accomplish
■< what the circular suggests, and ac
complish it legally, and scientifically.

, WHY STOP AT SHIPPING?
—
In discussing the American shipping
problem, Senator Fletcher'‘of Florida
said recently: *
“In opening up new routes where
losses would be incurred for the first
few years, I would have the govern
ment pay the operators for their serv
ices until the loss became a profit.”
Why stop at shipping? If the Unit
ed States is.to make up the losses to
:i private vessel owners in the foreign
carrying trade, why not make up the
losses to other lines of private busi
ness, including the publishing busi
ness?
When would the loss become a
profit? Does Senator Fletcher know?
Does anybody know?
Uncle Sam better sell all his ships
for the most he can get, and then im
pose an extra import duty on all goods
brought into this country in foreign
ships.
-♦
KEY TO THE RAILROAD PROBLEM
Mr. McAdoo knows that nearly all
the railroads of the country 'would be
thrown into bankruptcy if returned
summarily to their private owners.
He wants this club held over congress
by the millions of stockholders. But
the bluff will not work. If the nation’s
business is restored to normal, and
domestic transportation assured by
abundance of production at home, the
railroads of the country will speedily
recover under private ownershop,
and reasonable public regulation. But
again, protection and established pros
perity in the United States is the key
to the problem.

GROWTH OF IMPORTS.
According to a circular published
by the National City Bank of New
York city:
Manufactures imported in condi
tion ready for use in 1918 were in
round terms $2,100,000,000, against
$780,000,000 in 1913; manufactures for
^ further use in manufacture $1,100,080,
000, against slightly less than $400,
000,000 in 1913.
Much of this large increase was in
> competing articles, which we can pro
duce to the extent of our wants. Why
import two billion dollars’ worth of
finished manufactures if we can make
them ourselves? Why import a bil
libn and one hundred million dollars’
worth of partly manufactured prod
ucts, what is called raw material, il
vfe can make or produce even hall
of it ourselves? Finally, if we must
seek foreign markets because of oui
large "surplus” of products at nome
J
why do we import more than three
billiou dollars’ worth of goods from
abroad ?
Unemployment will never disappear
if we continue to make such tre
mendous increases in imports of
manufactured and partly manufact
ured goods from abroad.

SENATOR HARDING’S GREAT
SPEECH.
United States Senator Harding of
Ohio made a great speech in the sen
ate recently, in which he boldly and
courageously said that the spread of
Uolshevikism has been encouraged
and not suppressed by Mr. Wilson,
both during the war and after his ar
rival in Europe.
Senator Harding took the ground
that the President’s policy all the way
through had been directed to inflam
ing the people of Europe not only
against autocracy, but against organ
ized government, and that the deplor
able conditions throughout more than
two-thirds of Europe today were di
rectly the result or popular miscon
ceptions of liberty and the purposes of
the nations that had fought this war
for liberty, gleaned from Mr. Wil
son’s own pronouncements.
Senator Harding referred to the
President’s recent cablegram in which
be said the westward spread of Bol
shevikism Must be stopped by feeding
the starving nations of Europe.
“You cannot shower the world with
gold and harvest contentment, ’ said
Senator Hard5ng. “You cannot buy
permanent tranquility anywhere in the
world. You cannot reach practical re
sults through an avenue of dreams,
and there is no rhetorical route to the
re-establishment of normal condi
tions.’’
President Wilson’s suggestion that
we must establish a ‘new interna
tionalism” was distasteful doctrine for
Senator Harding. He held that the
world must not be paralyzed by so
cialism.
“I do not agree,” he said, “with the
President, and the world today tremb
ling with the menace of Bolshevikism
owes a good part of its difficulties to
the policies of our chief executive.”
Senator Harding found the genesis
of the world-wide misconception of
America's understanding of the rea
sons for going to war in the doctrine”,
which Mr. Wilson had eunneiated.
Senator Harding spoke the solemn
truth when he said: “If you don't get
back to a peace basis in the next
ninety days you will be more con
cerned about putting out the fires of
Bolshevikism In the United States
than about the starving people of
Europe.”
Yet Mr. Wilson cannot be unmind
ful of a monarch in ancient times,
who fiddled while Rome burned.

the game In the coming struggle for
the world’s markets. She claims to

tons during the war.
