COOLIDGE STANDS FAST FOR
PROTECTION
Among the Harding policies which
President Coolidge has assured the
country he will maintain during his ad
ministration is the support ol' the,
principle of a protective tariff. Presi
dent Coolidge has been af'lifelong be
liever in the “America First” policy.
He believes in encouraging the Ameri
can industries and protecting Ameri
can producers from unjust competi
tion from other nations in which
wages and production costs are much
lower than in the United tSates.
Recognition that there are unsettled
conditions throughout most of the
world and particularly in Europe, the
Republican Congress which passed the
present tariff law included therein
what is known as “flexibility clause”
which authorizes the President, alter
investigation by the Tariff Commis
sion to make changes in tariff rates
not exceeding fifty per cent in either
direction, when good cause has beeif
shown why the changes should be
made. Exponents of the free trade
principle looked upon this flexibility
provision as designed solely tor the
purpose of reducing tariffs. Scarcely
had the act been placed upon the sta
tute books when they began clamoring
for executive action for the reduction
of rates. Without any regard whatever
lor the reasonableness of the import
duties imposed and without any con
sideration of the effect upon American |
industries, these free-trade agitators
wanted a wholesale exercise of the ex
ecutive power for the reuuetion oi Re
publican protective tariff duties.
President Harding did not look up
on the flexibility clause as bestowing
upon him any such broad power over
the tariff law. He regarded the tariff
act as establishing not only the tariff
principles which should be observed,
but the details of import taxes, change
able only when extraordinary circum
stances called lor action. He did not i
regard it as his prerogative to under
take a wholesale revision of the tariff
law enacted by that branch of the gov
ernment which the Constitution pre
scribes shall have the power to enact
revenue legislation. It is readily ap
parent that President Coolidge takes
a similar view.
One clever device of the free trad
ers has been to assume that every
move in favor of protection is inspired
by politics, while every move in the
direction of abandonment of protec
tion is actuated by regard for the pub
lic welfare. Thus, one periodical, with
an unbroken record against a protec
tive tariff, cites the fact that import
ers ask lor a reduction of the duty on
lemons and asserts that “opposition
on the part of California fruit grow
ers to any reduction in the duty on
lemons has injected a political ele
ment into this proposal.’’ As a matter
of fact, ii did not inject a political ele
ment but rather a purely economic
element. The sole question is whether,
the California lemon growers shall be
subjected to destructive competition
from abroad.
The same free trade propagandist
insists that President Coolidge should
give carte blanche to the tariff Com
mission, which would mean that he
abdicate his authority and shirk his
responsibility under the flexibility
clause of the tariff law. That law did
not vest the Tariff Commission with
power to act in the changing of rates.
It placed that responsibility solely up
- on the President, merely requiring the
Tariff Commission to make invesiiga
, dons as to facts.
ALASKA VOLCANOES ARE
EMMITING SMOKE AND
SHOWING ACTIVITY SIGNS
Volcanoes in Southwestern Alaska
are still active, according to Dr. C. H.
Gilbert, of Stanford University, who
has spent the summer in that region
for the Bureau of Fisheries, and is
at present visiting in Juneau.
Dr. Gilbert said that they were very
active last winter with some eruption.
All of them are throwing off more or
less smoke new, and showing signs
of life.

ADVOCATES CUT IN KING’S PAY
David Kirkwood, Labor Member of
Dumbarton, Scotland, who is advocat
ing a cut in the pay of the King of
England. For some time past Kirk
wood has had his motive down but no
opportunity has been granted him to
bring it forward in the House of Com
mons. It is said that $550,000 is for
the privy purse of the King and Queen
alone. But then there are castles to
keep up, many charity donations, etc.,
and these things do cost money. Kirk
wood bases his motion on the critical
financial condition of the country af
ter the war and the lack of employ
ment for thousands of workers.
