The assertion made with such pos- itiv s will be accepted as true by those who re, fuse to study history. F 3 Mr. Ford blished an enterprise which bly thinks is an illustration of an under. that “stands on its own feet.” He has no it subsidy; he needs no. protective tariff. ut the fact is that the building of his great en- terprise was made possible by protection afforded by the government under patent laws. His patents may have expired but in the days when he was de- veloping his enterprise it was the patents that pro- tected him from competition. Now he is producing on so extensive a basis that apparently no one can meet his costs of production. Mr. atements are at variance with doc- xed by American public leaders from mn of our government. Hamilton, V's s Washington and Jefferson were advocates of pro: iffs as aids in establishment and main- enterprises in the new world. We have lards of living which are maintained in BT ner irope nor Asia, and if we are to maintain those standards there mt t be imposed a tax on importation commodities produced in countries where standards of living are lower than ours. Hyery chamber of commerce in the United States is urging the people of the community to patron- ize their local home industries. Mr. Ford would re- ply to them “the purely industrial or commercial enterprise that is worth anything at all can stand on its own feet,” and he would reject this appeal for the support of local commercial enterprises. He would buy where .le could buy cheapest Eyery newspaper in the United States, Republi- can and Democratic alike, is urging its readers to buy commodities produced at home, even if they pay a little more than they would pay for commod- ities manufactured outside. Their argument is, and it home esta pay the et patron is sound argument, that by patronizing the lishment the mane) kept at home to of the home people and afford larg- for the home merchant and eyery in- y of the mmunity. This argument applies with no less force to the upbuilding of national in- dpstries. Prior to 1890 the United States had been buying practically all its tinplate in Europe. Those eco- npmists who believed in the Ford doctrines said t an “indu can stand on i téctive ta 3 add to the cost of lic consume that is worth anything at all n feet” and they opposed a pro- ng that a protective tariff would every canned commodity the pub Republicans in congress rejected the Bord doctri and established a protective tariff on tinplate with the result that an enormous tin plate industry was built up in the United States, and through competitica prices were reduced and the American people bought tinplate cheaper than they had ever bought it under free trade. Mr. Ford’s assertion sounds plausible at firsi hearing but it will not stand the test of reason nor the facts of histo ——o. London Sees the Light HE LONDON. TIMES: has taken the lead in ur- ging Great Britain to proceed at once to pay her debt to the United States. In a leading edi- torial that paper advocates the issuance of bonds to the amount of the debt and the setting of an ex- ample to the rest of the world by discarding all at- tempts at compromise with the United States. The American viewpoint is presented by the Times in a convincing way. It is shown that the money loaned to Europe during the war did not come out of the great surpluses in the United States treasury but was raised through the sale of bonds to the Americin people themselves including the farmers of the west who have recently been the victims of distressing financial reverses. The British people are urged to get away from the idea that Wall Street is the whole United States. While the senti- ment of some of the international bankers of New York is undoubtedly in favor of the remission of | 45|0f the obigation, Se & part or all of the loans, the Times points out that there is a vast country and many millions of ple west of New York who do not take kindly to the suggestion that they shoulder the debts right- fully owed by Europe. It is recommended that the debts. be treated in a business-like way, thereby not only enhancing British-American relations, but w Great Britain to turn her attention to European restoration with the knowedge that hor treatment of the American debt can be taken as nr firm foundation for other settlements. The hote struck by the Times’ editorial is a re- freshing contrast to the atmosphere of evasion, compromise and cancellation that has surrounded almost every mention heretofore of a debt settle- ment. A few months ago British propagandists were following one another closely in touring the United States and lecturing on European condi- tions. Most of them contrived to mention the Brit ish debt in such a Way as to constitute a practical plea for it remission. Never, of course, would the British nation ask to be relieved of a single dollar but the situation was most dis- tressing. Billions of dollars were owed to Great Britain that she could not hope to collect, substan- tial receipts from German reperations were prac- tically hopeless, the British people were taxed to the limit, and the economic conditions in the em- pire were strained beyond measure. Those British pleaders were careful to make no mention of the tremendous potential richness of the mandate terri- tory acquired by their country and of the financial relief afforded by the destruction of the German fleet, although it has been estimated by some that those and other results of the war have added or will add $100,000,000,000 to the British national wealth. It is to be hoped that the sentiments expressed by the London Times will find a 1esponse in the sound sense of the leaders of Britsh thought. Great Britain has an opportunity that has never been presented before, and that probably will never come again. By merely acknowledging her debt to America and setting about arranging for its pay- ment without further ado she can set an example of international morality that will add immeasur- ably to her prestige in Europe and her position in the rest of the world. The cultivation of close re- lations with the United States, which she declares is of so much concern to her, would be stimulated as by no other means. She would have at hand an effective argument with which to induce nations that owe her money to liquidate their indebtedness British citizens could point with pride to thei mother country as the leader of the old world in common honesty. €be Casper Daily Cribune t / } \ i estimates aggregate slightly more EREBNE ioe 3 Owes Carey Nothing AOVERNOR CAREY, in his speech delivered from the stage of the Garden theater, recently, said: “I have done my best,” and so far as we know, none will dispute that. His statement that no charge of “graft” had been laid at the door of his administration, and that all of his “boards” and “bureaus” and “commissions” were functioning may also go unchallenged. His newspapers advance the argument that be- cause he has “done his best” he is entitled to—that the people “owe” him—another term. We maintain that the people “owe” nothing to Governor Carey nor any other office seeker. When he took the office he solemnly swore to “do his best” —nothing less—so no debt exists on that score. It may be stated that people in all sections of Wyoming agree that Governor Carey has “done his best” —but they are not going to vote him another term, Different people haye different reasons but in most quarters the nomination and subsequent elec- tion of John W. Hay is looked upon as being cer- tain, as inevitable as sunrise or sunset. Perhaps it is not so much on account of what Governor Carey has or has not done as what they believe John W. Hay, as governor, can and will do. The fact that many people like Governor Carey personally does not make them forget that taxes are quite beyond the ordinary man’s ability to pay Governor Carey has publicly stated that, so far as the state government is concerned, taxes cannot be materially reduced and “passes the buck” to the various county and city governments. John W. Hay says that “drasiic reduction in state taxes can be accomplished by «bolition of useless bureaus and commissions—that half million dollars of the peo- ple’s money can be saved in this cne direction.” The records show that John W. Hay has all his life been doing things that other men said could not be done. He stands for a return to plain business efficiency in the conduct of the people’s affairs. He proposes to install system that will do away with all friction and lost motion. It has been by sheer ability that he has risen step by step from telegraph operator to his present position. For nearly a quarter of a century he has been doing big things in Wyoming. ‘ It is not that Mr. Carey has been a poor gov- ernor, but that Mr. Hay will be a better one—that is what is hitting people fairly between the épes.— Lusk Herald, eee The Teapot HE CASPER TRIBUNE recently carried one of Frank Keenan's splendid cortoons, which was reproduced in The Post of last Friday morning, en- titled “The Tempest Narrows Down,” which carries a great long story in itself. It shows Mr. Sinclair operating the handle of the pump at Teapot Dome, which is flowing a steady stream into four bowls— federal treasury, state treasury, labor and manu- facture. The Wyoming cowboy and Uncle Sam standing near by appear to be very much elated over the prospects. The contrast is shown in the Denver Post standing nearby, egged on by Sena- tor Kendrick ,and hollering “Si i not getting anything out of it.” The Denver Post has always made a sad story of its attempt to control politics in Coloradp and its endeavor now to dictate to the people of Wyoming, their political lines, will be strongly resented. It is to be regretted that a Wyoming candidate for of- fice should thing it necessary to employ that paper to fight his campaign, while there are many papers of his political belief in the state who possibly need a little spare money occasionally. 3 Wyoming vill be fortunate indeed, if the Sinclair contract is not meddled with—Sheridan Post. top it, stop it, we're |o Chopping Down Expenses ewing the part which the con- trenchmen this adm: nd economy program of tration Marion B.

In creeps the Into the Enemy's Corner Consternation has been thrown into the ranks of the importers’ combina- tion which hos been viciously fighting the pending Republican tariff bill bv the announcement recently made pub- lic that members of congress would take exhibits of foreign-mady goods to the people in their home districts during the recess, and let their con- stituents see what American indus- tries are up against. This is said to be the first time that the importers have had the fight carried into their corner, and they are dismayed at the outlook. About five months ago Chairman Fordney, of the ways and means com- mittee of congress, thought it would be a good idea, since the importers’ combination was lambasting the pro- tective tariff so mercilessly, to make a quiet investigation of the enemy's camp and ascertain whether they wire really in earnest in thelr predic- tions of high prices to follow the Re- publican tariff bill, or 1? they were merely “throwing a smoke-scréen around thelr own operations. The re- sults of the investigation were startl- ling even to Chairman Fordney. He showed that on a large number of im- ports investigated the importers were making unconscionable profit: This quickly put the importers’ com- ination on’ the defensive, and they concentrated thelr vast influence, maintained by the advertising which they carried in a large number of metropolitan papers, in a counter-at- tack through the editorial columns of those papers on the tariff bill. For a time, while they did not gain any ground, they managed to hold their position. Then Chairman McCumber, of the senate finance committee, nuh- lished a long list of imports showing the landed cost of the articles men- tioned, the prices at which the im- porters disposed of them to American | purchasers, and the spread, per cent, of profit. The figures were astound- ing. They showed profits ranging from 235 te 2,300 per cent. SATURDAY, JULY 22, 1922.

Of course the importers can. afford to keep it up because of the huge profits which they reap from the goods bought abroad. But this latest move finds the tm- porters unprepared, while the Repub- lica: have the goods and can present unimpeachable testimony as to the movement of every article involved. The voters are going to learn some things about the importers which will make the latter sorry they started the fight.
