When Nations Compete Anyone who believes all of the fearful wor- risome things he reads in his newspapers and magazines or hears over the radio would be driven to looking under the bed before he went to sleep at night. Nevertheless, there are some things which the American people should keep in mind as they observe the various trends of national policy. One of these is the simple fact that we cannot establish and maintain a level of exist- ence far above that of the rest of the world and, at the same time, maintain ourselves as a competitor for foreign trade. Also, it can- not be overlooked that, in a world of change, the shifts are likely to be for the worse in so far as a nation with a high standard of living is concerned. The natural trend is to pull all peoples down to a common level. The competitive positions of the United States and Japan prove the point all too clearly. The Japanese, almost as expert as we in the ehind the Scenes in Washington WITH RODNEY DUTCHER s Ld Roosevelt Still Can Lick Anyone in Sight, Finding of Aide on Survey... Huey Cites G. O. P. Philosophy . . » Cutting Held Up as Martyr... “Handout” Book Only the Bunk, Washington, May 20.—One of President Roosevelt's most trusted aides has just returned from a@ trip across the country to report that the administration hasn’t any- thing, politically speaking, to worry about. The president's hold on the people is still strong, he found—or thought he found—though not so strong as it was. According to this man, a seasoned politician him- self, Roosevelt can still easily lick anybody else in sight. Huey Long has not been making much headway lately, except perhaps in Kansas. There the Kingfish looks good to many of the voters who once supported the celebrated Dr. Brinkley, political candidate and goat gland specialist. Business men and bankers, the president’s informant. gathered, are irritated chiefly because they cannot “run” the federal show as they did in previous administrations and find their positions weakened as leaders of popular thought. Most of them are making more money, but some of them declared: “That don't make a damn bit of difference. You fellows down there are going to ruin us.” On the other hand, even administration supporters in various states were found to be confused by apparently conflicting policies and statements from Washington. Advice that he can afford to ignore such extreme critics as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has been wel- comed by Roosevelt lately. are q * CALLS CUTTING MARTYR The late Senator Bronson Cutting probably, will be held up as a martyr in the 1936 presidental campaign if & third radical party ticket enters the field. His friend, Congressman Thomas R. Amlie, Wiscon- sin Progressive, in his weekly letter to hundreds of lib- erals, refers to “the persecution of Senator Cutting by President Roosevelt,” and declares: “The death of Senator Cutting and the cir- cumstances which led up to it have marked alse the death of the last hope of many liberals in the president and his New Deal.” og Amie is a leader in the House insurgent or “maver- ick” group and a quiet but persistent worker for a new Political realignment. ee LAYS BLAME ON ROSEVELT He charges that Roosevelt himself took the initiative in a political alliance of conservative Republicans and Democrats to defeat the progressive Cutting in the last election; that Roosevelt's fight against Cutting con- tinued in the Chavez election contest, although “even Jim Farley tried to persuade the president to abandon this persecution”; that Cutting was forced to make many trips to New Mexico to defend himself against ground- less charges; and that in returning from one such trip he met his death. eee “HANDOUT” IS THE BUNK About half the people you meet these days ask you who wrote a book called “Handout,” which purports to use of power and machinery, have risen to a dominant position in the Asiatic trade except where they have been blocked by extraneous influences such as the British tariff in India. The American flag of commerce has returned eastward across the Pacific. Ports which Yankee traders opened to commerce centuries ago will see the Stars and Stripes less and less frequently. Japan has invested dollars in China where we have invested cents. Her faci- lities are far more complete than ours. And over and above all this THE JAPAN- ESE LEVEL OF LIVING BARS US FROM COMPETITION. Much as we have suffered, the poorest among us knows luxury as com- pared to the average Japanese family. Having extended her hegemony over Asia, Japan now is extending her commercial domi- nance into South America. Dr. E. P. Quain, re- G. O. P.

Aldrich will question the assertion that it turning from there, mentioned the way in which Brazil is taking land out of coffee culti- vation and planting it to cotton. One thing he did not mention is the fact that Japanese in- Japan soon will cease to be America’s chief customer for cotton and will buy from Brazil instead. When that occurs there will be fur- ther dislocations in the economic structure. With Japan buying more from her, Brazil will buy more from Japan and the United States will lose one of her leading South American customers. For political purposes some persons will contend that the various devices for maintaining the price of American ‘cotton will be responsible for this situation. This is not entirely correct, for not since slavery days have we been ‘able to produce cotton at the same price as is possible fn Brazil. ! ‘The real reason is the same one that makes it im- Possible for our manufacturers to compete with the Jap- nese.

The British have been or are being driven from China just ‘as we have been. She also will lose in Brazil. She is maintaining dominance in India only by force of arms and at the risk of political upheaval. There are just three answers possible in this situa- tion. One... and it is unthinkable, is to abandon the American standard of living, get down to the same level as low-cost nations so that we can compete with them. The second is to adopt a policy of economic isola- tion, abandon hope of profits from foreign trade and Prepare ourselves to withstand the internal pressure which may be built up during a long and painful period of readjustment, The third is to raise, by some means not now ap- parent, the world standard of living so that we can ‘again compete for foreign trade on an equal basis. fs to try to get along with what we have * oundaries and what we can get from thors.

That 62 to 20 vote rejecting his demand for an investigation of the postmaster general, in which not a single Democratic ballot was cast in his favor, speaks for itself. It has been apparent for some time that Long has worn the nerves of his to a dangerous It has been evident by the tone employed by those drawn into colloquies with him.
