Seas ca ON FOREIGN BATTLEFIELDS ‘At the request of the secretary of war, the | dent has recommended to the Congress legislation for the creation of a Battle Monuments Commission. The composition of the proposed commission as recom- mended is as follows: The Secretary of War, one Gnited States Senator, one United States represepta- tive, a general of the United States Army, the na- tional commander of the American Logion, one army officer designated by the Secretary of War, who shall ct as the secretary of the corhimission. It is proposed that this commission shall have the specifiic duty of erecting suitable memorials commem- orating the services of American forces in France, Belgium and Italy. It is intended that special monu- ments of artistic design will be used to mark the places of unusual historical importance in connection with the American Expeditionary forces, as, where the first American soldier was killed in Europe; where first American soldier was wounded at the front; where German raid on First Division Novem- ber 3rd, 1917, took place, during which the first three American soldiers were killed in action and the first American prisoners were taken; first sector held by an American division acting as a complete unit; where the 1ith U. S. Engineers fought at Cambrai, after the British lines had been broken and held the Germans $n check until the British and French brought up rein- forcements; sector where the 6th U. S. Engineers jheld the Germans in check, March 21, 1918; sectors marking the location of the 369th, 370th, 371st, 3724 regiments, which were brigaded with the French troops; spot near Casara, Italy, where the 332d U. S. Infantry was engaged. In addition to these special monuments, bronze tablets will be placed to mark certain buildings of in- terest in connection with our militray operations in foreign lands. Outline map monuments will be erected showing former positions of American troops in the battle sectors. These mormuments wilt be in the form of relief maps and will show in colored enamel Dattle-front lines and numbers of American troops engaged. The face of the block toward the observer will show the coat-of-arms of the United States and the words, “United States of America,” will be cut in bronze. The idea of a relief map showing the topography of the immediate locality is that a person can look out over the ground and pick out the places where the various forces fought and be able to trace what ground was either lost or gained. This is a new iden in connection with battle monuments, as the monn ments which have been erected on battlefronts previous wars do not give the visitor any inform’ which enables him to revisualize the movements of troops at that particular place. For this reason ¢ mre necessary at all such places in order to give * visitor an adequate idea of the troop movements. Tt is further plarmed to place monuments at sites of former division headquarters of American forces at the time the division held a sector. These monuments ‘will give a sketch of the part each division played in ‘tthe war. It is also proposed to erect an appropriate building near one of the permanent cemeteries in France, in which building will be housed relief maps of all operations of all American forces during the world war. This is desirable because it is. believed most visitors will have neither the time nor the money to visit more than a few of the battlefields and will be mble, by consulting these maps, to ascertain exactly where they wish to go with the least waste of time and expense. At this building there will also be pamphlets that will give additional historical informa- tion concerning the movements of American forces in France during the world war. —____o_—____ THE PREFERENTIAL POLICY There is an excellent example in the revised tariff of New Zealand, of the “Colonial Co-operation” of the units of the British Empire. This tariff follows closely the policy adopted in Australia and other do- minions of the empire. It consists of three scales of customs duties: General rates which apply to foreign countries with which there is rangement; preferential rates, granted inating in ar mediate rate products of.su.. countries as may negotiations with New Zealand for privileges. The principal features of the changes in sctual as compared with the former tariff, is the considerabl extension of the system of preferential rates to Bri ish products. This has been accomplished, either by rendering dutiable certain products when imported from foreign countries, which formerly were free from all sources, by continuing the former British rates and increasing the British goods. Most foreign products formerly free will now pay ten per cent ad valorem, in itself, a higher average than that paid on all imports coming into the United States under the Democratic tariff lew still in force. The New Zealand tariff contains s similar to those of Cansda against the dumping of foreign products and carries special scales for increases in the genera] duties, up to 25 per cent, upon the products of countries with depreciated currencies, the amount of increased duties varying with the degree of depre- ciation. I year we exported nearly $30,000,000 worth products to New Zeland. Our total export in 21 to the British possessions, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and out- lying territories, aggregated about $1,800,000,000. Inasmuch as these possessions are rapidly conforming to the program laid down by Bonar Law as far back az 1917, it is apparent that the export trade of the United States is to be considerably handicapped in the commercial relations which we have with British do- minions in competition with Great Britain herself. They have organized an exclusive little club of their own, in which our membership is not particularly de- sired, although we can get in on the payment of the maximum charge for admission. Last year our exports to all the world totaled $4,485,000,000, so it will be seen that something like 40 per cent of our export trade is affected by these preferentials in favor of the British Empire and against us. We cannot consistently complain of the British policy. It is in line of nationalistic develop- ment. It should be of material assistance to the mother country in expediting the payment of her in- debtedness to the United States. But we can mend cur own tariff walls by superimposing protection on the revenue-only policy championed by Southern Dem- ocrats in Congress and denounced by the section of the country which they misrepresent. ‘The British preferential policy is an impressive answer to those misguided or selfish i dividuals who would throw open the ports of the United States to all nations, re gardiess of what their policies or production costs may be. a REPUBLICAN HELP TO isi a “I The first effort of the Republican came into power in March, 1921, was to correct the wrongs perpetrated by the Democratic administration covering the previous most serious injuries ican farmer.

The Wilson administration was opposed to doing’ anything for the farmer. President Harding called a) special session of Congress and one of its first acts was the passage of an emergency tariff law. The ad- ministration also adopted a more liberal policy in the matter of bank credits in general and provided addi- tional funds for farm credits in particular. 4 This record shows the i aera and Democratic parties occupying opposite ositions on subjects of| interest to agriculture. The Democratic party favors the foreign producer in the enactment of tariff laws— the Republican party favors the American producer. ‘The Democratic party limited the prics the farmer could get for his product—the Republiean party helps get a higher price by aiding him to export his sur- nlus. The Democratic party precipitated deflation on the farmer—the Republican party has tried to save the farmer from some of the losses of deflation.

S. A. } a rational financial administration ~ Cnminal Deflation During the last two years the breakdown of business and industry has been charged by alleged finan- cial authorities and the press to everything but the true cause. The American people have been constant- ly insulted by charges that the de- pression is due to thelr extravagance, Jaziness and crookedness; to a wave of pessimism, a buyers’ strike, hoard- ipg money that would restore pros- perity if paid into circulation. Such quacks as Roger Babson said more, that half of us were dishonest, un- wilting to give value for what we re. cetve. College economists have been zealous in dispensing such false propaganda, though a group of them headed by Kemmerer of Princeton, ‘were employed by master banks in 2918 to manufacture argument for de- fiation for the express purpore of breaking down prices and restoring pre-war conditions. There was no suggestion deflating debts to pre- war figures. But now we have @ ¢on- fession of facts from headquarters. During the war the trade of the world was forced upon us, and w | might have been retained and on- larged. Several American banks were established in Asia, Europe and South Amertca to facilitate develop- ment of this trade. But drastic defla tion engineered to double the debts of the people so enhanced the value of the dollar that foreigners could no longer afford to buy from us, and have been cutting out purchases from us of everything they could produce for themselves or buy from wiser na- tions with cheaper money. So four of the “foreign trade” banks have re- cently closed, and the First Federal Foreign bank of New York has pub- lished a review of world-wide finan- clal conditions from which the fol- lowing extracts are significant. “The real reason for our loss of trade was our ifl-advised campaign of artificial deflation which was the acute cause of credit troubles in for- eign countries. The mistake of dras- tie deflation fs now frankly recognized by the broadest visioned bankere of England. * * * “When the program of credit re striction was launched the first thing defiated was confidence. * * ©” “We brought hard times all over walin America by cutting down our purchases and the prices we paid for their products. * * °* “We brought crises in Cube, Bragil, and on the west coast of South Amer- ica from Colfimbia down to Cape Horn.” “We made safe and productive re- habflitation of Burope at once as im- Possibility. °° *” “What deflation did was to cut down the current productjon of the| healthy bank credit growing out of curreut industry of a constructive in- @ustrial character. The continued! production of bank credit fn a vast} sweep of peabeful business over the world, would In time have absorbed the hangover of the abnormal war production credit.” “But deflation came suddenly and destroyed confidence, froze up busi- ness everywhere.” In the face of this tardy and re- luctant confession of facts which of course were known to every observ-| er, the Satuday Evening Post of April! 1 devotes a page of editorial to most absurd and dishonest fallacies about money. It is unfortunate that such Che Casper Dally Cridune vfs ble men that the government shall ex- ercise {ts constitutional right and most imperative duty of supplying the country with an adequate medium of exchange. Like other mediums of its kind, the Post holds to the silly propo- sition that if the government began to’ issue money it couldn't stop short of the Russian extreme. It couldn't state the simple fact that in a money law it is just as easy to fix a limit as it was in the silver coinage laws. President Lincoln's denunciation of contraction fits the present situation. He said: . “If @ government contracted a debt with a certain amount of money in ctrenlation, and then contracted the volume of money before the debt was paid, it is the most heinous crime a government could commit against the people.” In one of his speeches to the sen- ate, John C. Calhoun said: “Place the money power in the ‘hands of a combination of a few in- dividuals, and they by expanding or contracting the currency may raise or sink prices at pleasure; and by purchasing when at the greatest de- pression and selling at tho greatest elevation, may command the whole property and industry of the com- munity and control its fiscal opera- tions.” Mr. Widney, president of a Los An- geles bank, said to the Commercial Congress at Kansas City about 1895: “The chief owners of money do not want the volume increased because so long as it is limited they control the prices of property and wages of labor, the political and even the re- ligious interests of the people.” Senator Borah of Idaho, was the only legislator to oppose the Federal Reserve act when Paul Warbury, of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. was advocatiag it before the committee. Borah talked as Albert Gallatin would have talked, thus: “By this act congress will turn over to the corporations the sole right to issue money, and to say how much we shall have and how much we shall not have. This seems to me an awful power. When we realize that the de- sire is for gain, and the greed for gain grows with what It feeds upon, it is a fearful power.” Borah’s fears were amply justified. Our government has permitted and qustified the perpetration of Lincoin's heinous ertme to a degree never dreamed of by Lincoln, and still sus- tains the criminals. It did what Cal- houn recognized as a crime of magni- tude in placing absolute power over the mones, and over every transac- tion of the people, In the hands of seven men. ‘These were two ban’ ers, two college economists, one law- yer, one Poughkeepsie newspaper man, and the comptroller of the cur- rency. Only one of the seven (John Skelton Williams) evinced regard for the welfare of the people, and he was unable to check the destructive pro- gtam of the other six. No seven men could be foand fit for such respon- sibility, even if honest. No seven men should be entrusted with such Power over one populous country. “Money is the great instrument of association; the vitalizing force of in- dustry; the protoplasm of civilization, and as essential to its existence as {s oxygen to animal life. Without mon- ey civilization could not have a be- ginning, and with a diminishing sup ply it must languish and ultimately perish.” Owing to drastic contraction of |money and its modern diaphanous credit substitute in North America and Engiand, civilization perceptibly languishes with increase of crime and social misery, the inevitable results of enforced poverty.
