E> Don’t Destroy Buying Power mal HE AMERICAN voter should always keep in min this fact that the interests of the impost- ers of foreign goods are promoted by the tariff pol icies of the Democratic party and the interests of the American producers are advanced by the tariff policies of the Republican party. The Democratic theory that it is hest to buy the cheapest ignores the obvious truth that the country -will seon lose its buying power if it practices the policy of buying abroad while its own industries are ignored and neglected. The importers of Italian lemons were among the most ardent supporters of the Democratic candi- dates in 1912, when the tariff was a prominent is- sue and when, unfortunately there was a split in the Republican party. Buying lemor. in Italy be- eause they can be bought there more cheaply than im California is certain to result in beer 72 ay in ‘wer among the lemon growers of the Uni Btates, DARE laca wire im the Netherlands, cut- fiery and optical goods and dyes in Germany, cotton und wool manufactures in England, dried ruits in the Far East, and various other commodities in various other foreign countries when similar goods could be produced in the United States in larger quantities, must inevitably reduce the buying pow er of those who depend upon those industries for a livelihood. Thus our domestic rket weakened and all our commercial interests are impuired, The first thought of those who woull promote the welfare of American industry should be for the} producer. Whether in the m primitive form, or in our present highly c.wplex organization, prosperous production must precede satisfactory consumption. Giving first thought to the consum- er, as the Democrats undertake to do, is putting the cart before the horse, to use an ancient but La riate ression. There are numerous commodi- tes Evhichccasinct be produced in the United States at all, or in insufficient quantities, and in those in- stances there must be large purchases abroad. But in every instance of commofities that can be pro- duéed heré, it is to the interes} not only of the workers directly employed in each particular in- dustry but to the interest of those depending upon general prosperity for their success, that purchase of the home product be encouraged. Appeals to patriotism and loyalty to: home in- dustries will not suffice. The importer, often a for- eigner by birth, is tempted by the opportunity to make a larger profit for himself by purchasing the product of cheap labor in a foreign land and sell- ing it here at a price with which American labor cannot compete. 6 With the exception of an import tax, no effective means of restrictirg importations has ever been de- vised. Such a tax, based upon difference in cost of production here’ and abroad, does not shut out all importations and give the home producer an abso- lute monopoly, but does shut out importations at a price that would be destructive of American in- dustry. Under protective tariff rates as enacted in the past, there have been i:mportations large enough to disprove the assertion that the Republi- can policy would erect a Chinese wall of trade ex- clusion. ° y All that the Republicans ask, is that American pro- ducers shall have at least an equal chance in their home market, and this, it is submitted, is in the interest of the whole country. ao 0 Shirt Tail Diplomacy 4&6 A CCORDING to no less a personage than the +* Hon. William Gibbs McAdoo, former secre tary of the treasury anl past, present and pros- pective candidate for the Democratic nomination for president, the United States is in a terrible plight so far as its diplomacy is concerned,” de elares the National Republican. “Mr. McAdoo declares that under President Harding we have abandoned shirt sleeve for shirt tail diplomacy that our envoys take no manly part in any discussion in Europe but slink in and ont of the courts spying about but incurring no respon- sibility. No wonder, he declares, we have gained the contempt and distrust of all the world. “The honorable ex-secretary does not say explic- itly what shirt tail diplomacy is but avers that our “envoys now sit meekly on their shirt tails and take no manly part, instead of representing America with the vigor and directness which distinguished our diplomacy in more honorable days.” In the humble communities where most of us originate, however, a man only goes about in his shirt tail, only sits at the table—poker or otherwise—when he has been divested of his other garments. “It must follow therefore that at some time or other Uncle Sam has lost his diplomatic coat, vest and ‘pantaloons, so it might be profitable to con- sider just when this misfortune occurred. Diplo- macy is something like poker, and there is a game popular in New York, Los Angeles and other more or less sportive social centers of which Mr. McAdoo has been or is now a resident, called strip poker, Mr. McAdoo may have had this game in mind when he made his reference to shirt tail diplomacy. In this game when a player loses a hand he is com- pelled by ihe rules to remove some portion of his garments. The length of the game is usually lim-) ited by the amount of clothing the players possess, the severity of the weather or the hardihood of the contestants “The last international strip poker game in which uw pathetically. in the past few years and perhaps the worst is yet to come.” jit being “But Mr. McAdoo will have a hard time proving that our representatives slink in and out of the courts of Europe. Our representatives have sat in no conferences intd which they were not invited. They have only refused responsibilities in instances sry Uncle Sam had no business to have responsi- ities. “President Harding has rightfully taken the stand that the United States has no business inter- fering in questions which are European, and he will accept no responsibilities where the interests of the United States are not affected. This is the dip- lomacy which began in the days of George Wash j ington and if Mr. McAdoo is unfortunate to get the opportunity of running on a which preaches the contrary to his the next Tepub- lican plurality will only be limited by thc sus figures. “The United States has not gained the contempt and distrust of all the world. We came very near ough to getting it when Mr. McAdoo's father-in-law went | to Versailles claiming to represent the spirit and will of America, when he permitted the diplomats of Burope to make a farce of his famous fourteen points with their “freedom of the seas and self de- termination,” when he permitted himself to agree to anything and everything in order only that he might bring back to America his chimerical league of nations in which nobaby believed but himself) and his personal echoes and idolaters. “But President Harding's diplomacy has restored the confidenceypf the world in the judgment and purposes of America. The single big accomplish ment of the century so far for peace is the four- power treaty which has stabilized the Pacific with.! out adding to our responsibilities or compelling us to sign a blank mortgage to be filled in later. All of the newspapers of Europe at this very moment are lauding our sense and go0d_judgment in keep- ing out of the joke mecting at Genoa and the com- ing farce comedy at The Hague. Every nation in Europe is seeking to gain our good will—perha; not unselfishly, but certainly not because they hold is in contempt. “We can of course listen to Mr. McAdoo S31 He has had a lot of political bumps = a Sh, Hysteria Is Abolished ‘THE FIRST PROBLEM presented for the eration of the Harding administra it came into power, was of unemployment, leged that there were anywhere from four to + nillion people out of work. Many sug: gestions were made as to means of relief, raised either by taxation or a bond issue, in order to pro- vide work for the idle. That would have been the easiest and quickest temporary remedy but the cure would have been of questionable benefit. Once the government adopted the policy of providing work for all who wanted it, there would have been no limit to the application of that policy. Once the citizen had been led to believe that it is the duty of 2 ment to furnish him an income suited to his wants there would have been steadily and ly increasing willingness to shirk individual responsibility and to rely upon the public treasury for a livelihood. The Republican administration yielded to no such suggestion, but a conference was called and each industry and each municipality was urged to conduct its business in such a Way as to afford relief to as large an extent as possible to those who were most in need of work, This was done and experience has shown that there was a mini- mum of suffering. Today no unemployment prob- lem troubles us; Another problem confronting the new adminis- tration was one for relief of an agricultural indus- try suffering from the greatest depression in its history. There were suggestions that the govern: ment appropriate maney to buy surplus crops, which plan would have meant that the government would purchase practically all crops at fictitious prices. This policy once adopted would with diffi- culty be abandoned. Instead of resorting to that paternalistic scheme the Republican congress, with the approval of the president, provided for tem- porary loans for the aid of agriculture, with the result that there was a steady and healthful re- vival in the market value of agricultural products. This movement is not yet completed but it has been started in such a way as to assure satisfactory results. These instances illustrate the Harding policy of “less government in business and more business in government. The untry had another illustra- tion of that same pol a few days ago when lum- ber manufacturers were called into conference for the purpose of planning a system of standards and inspection in order to assure uniformity and a square deal for the consumer. Instead of proposing that the government establish the standards and conduct the inspection, the ufacturers were in- duced to establish an inspection system of their own under which fairness will be assured to the consumer and the general public will not be sad- dled with the expense and annoyance of one more government bureau. Through these policies the United States has been rapidly getting back to normal, whereas, if paternalistic schemes had been adopted, the coun- try would have been getting farther and farther away from the principles arid practices of normal industrial activity. Stability and Railroads HE AMERICAN BANKERS in their recent ses: sion at White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia said in their resolutions: No final adjustment of the financial difficulties confronting the nation can be accomplished until railway wages and other operating expenses are lowered, making possible a reduction of transporta- tien costs. e Even greater than the wage question, the re- port asserted, are the “onorous working rules im- posed by the labor unions upon the railroads.” Closer co-ordination between the interstate com- platform | A Season's Change Weoping, the King slowly retreats; bis battalions melt away, thelr White uniforms soiled and drab with the grime of battle. Here and there, in deep, dark canyons forlorn hopes make their last stand. Marching steadily as veterans, bands playing, fags flying, in snug-fitting Green uniforms, with golden epaulettes, the Queen's new draft takes possession of the battlefield. ‘—-E. RICHARD SHIPP. General Business Conditions The general’ business situatigg. has continued favorable from month to month until confidence is now well established that the worst of the in- evitable post-war depression is over. The recovery reflects the great recu- perative powers which this country has within itself, but has been aided by a similar demonstration in other countries. Despite the seemingly al- most insoluble problems arising from the war, and all the political contro- versies, racial antagonisms and half- baked social and economic theories that contribute to the confusion, the world has a tendency to a state of order. Qrosperti is the fruit of a state of ordered, balanced and recip- rocal industry, in which everybody works at rendering some service to others and gets his pay in the services which they render to him. Although an appalling ignorance of mutual in- terests is constantly displayed, never- theless people are bound to strive un- ceasingly to improve their .relations with each other. ‘The most potent general factor in the revival of trade has been the ex- haustion of stocks, the wearing out of things in use, bringing consumers to the necessity of coming into the markets to suppty their own wants and of selling what they might have lto provide the means of purchase. | The pressure of reciproval wants gradually brings all branches of in- dustry to the readjustments that have to be made. In the case of foodstuffs and the leading raw materials of industry there are no large supplies being car. ried over, unless we except corn, which does not enter readily into con- sumption until it has been converted into meat. The grains chiefly used for bread are closely used up, the world depending upon full crops each year. In the chief materials of cloth- ing, wool and cotton, the carry-over which has existed since the war has been reduced in an important degree during the past year. These condi tions give an assurance of a degreé of stability in the principal agricul tural staples which has not been felt since the fall of 1920. The state of ease that has developed in the money market, as evidences by the liquidation of the federal reserve banks, the ready absorption of invest- ment securities and the rise of the bond and stock markets, is a condi- tion favorable to business expansion. It does not follow, however, beca' a substantial revival from the ex- treme state of depression has taken place, that we shall have uninter- rupted or rapid recovery to full activ. ity in all lines. A readjustment of industrial relations is under way and has produced the improvement in sight, but complete readjustment has not been accomplished, either in our international or our domestic rela- tions. Foreign trade is better. The South American countries which produce raw materiais and foodstuffs are find. ing better markets, working off the surplus stocks of merchandise which have embarrassed them and begin- ning to buy again in substantial merce commission and the federal labor board was|®mounts.

The foreign exchanges are stronger, which means a more favor- able condition for foreign buyers in Une, marke, Bic MILITARY EXPENDITURES Agricultural Conditions The spring season has been cold and wet over the principal agricultural districts, but with the exception of cot- ton none of the principal staples have had their prospects injured by these conditions. The spring wheat outlook is favorable, although the acreage is not quite up to last year. The winter ought caused an exceptionally large acreage of winter wheat to be aban- doned in Kansas, but the abundant rains have filled the ground with moi ture, a condition which usually means abundant crops of all kinds in that part of the country. The official state estimate upon the Kansas wheat crop is 108,560,000 bushels, which compares with about 127,000,000 bushels last year, but with present ing con- ditions the yield is likely to grow over the estimate. Corn planting is well advanced, and the moisture content of the soil augurs well for that crop. Talk of/a curtailment of acrqage has ed away as prices have advanced, and the farmers doubtless will plant all they can. Labor is plenty and costs well below recent years. For the {mportant crop of cotton the prospect ts not so cod. Weather onditions have been unfavorable for as large an increase in acreage as has been expected, and estimates are now about+8 of 10 per cent. The worst reports relate to the boll weevil, said to ve in evidence and threatening over the entire cotton-growing territory. nless the weather from now on is of the right kind and the weevil is less destructive than most observers ap- prehend, there is serious danger that the crop will not make 12,090,000 bales the figure generally estimated as re- quired to meet the world’s needs. The Fureau of Markets, Department of Ar. rieulture, has compiled reports from er all countries indicating that the onsumption of cotton is now back up on practically the pre-war basis, and requiring about 21,000,000 bales in a year. At that rate the United Stater should supply fully 12,000,000 bales. The growing season has been bach ward in Europe as well as here, ané the outlook for the crops there’ {is not ccnsidered over-promising. Poland robably will raise more grain than last year, but this gain may be off- set by reductions elsewhere. India has just harvested a good crop of wheat which represents a substantial gain to the world’s supplies. Vandalism Casper citizens are making a very commendable effort this spring to beautify their home surroindings Trees and shrubbery have been set out in large quantity, lawns have been made and flowers planted. Casper is growing more park like and beautiful each year. We have among us, however, a few vandals. One resident who has taken great pains with his lawn and flow- ers and has made of his home grounds ® real show place, reports the destruc- tion of his beautiful plants by some person unknown, last night, and the spoilation of his flower beds in wan- ton fashior:. It is to ve regretted that such per- sons cannot be apprehended in their dastardly work and an example made of them. It is difficult’ enough to induce flow- ers and shrubs to grow in Casper with- out having the efforts expended, set at naught by vandalism. There should be a special punish- ment set apart for those who destroy beauty. Queer Questions With Hidden Answers If You Can't Answer Them, Look Among the Want Ads: ‘When was the best cotton crop.
