In this have been aided by the international bank ia this country, the free traders and the importing in- terests, all of whom place the prosperity of Euro-| pean manufacturers above the prosperity of Amer- ican manufacturers and the welfare of American workingmen. Since it became a certainty t a protective tariff would be enacted this session of congres Enropean propagandists have redoubled their at tacks upon the United States and upon the protec- tive tariff. They are now claiming the tariff will ruin them and will make it utterly impossible for them to repay any of the loans made to them by this government during the war. etropolitan papers are reprinting editorials from British, Frensh, German, Italian and other Biirépean newspapers berating the United States for protecting its own industries, safeguarding its own markets and affording steady employment to its own workmen. They denounce the tariff as a selfish policy. This! the t of the Washing-! rment. | tion that has presented itself in the! vorid since the armistice is less worthy of interference than the defeat of the; and the threat of the Turks to regain their tal. If this country had taken a hand in world settlements, there might be some founda- for the present urge that we aid in restoring order in Asia Minor. If America were responsible for present conditions there, it might be said with justice that ste United States should take a hand in bringing about a settlement. But the fact is that what we find in the Near East today is ‘simply the result of traditional European diplomacy seen at its worst. In their progressive invasion of Torkish territory the Greeks have had the tacit support of Great Brit- ain, wh the opposition of Turkey to the Greek inroads had similar support from France. Var- jous a ngements have been attempted to satisfy both the British and French. There was created the neutral me of the straits,” throwing the Turks back into Asia with the loss of their capital, Con stantinople, which they had held for about 470! years. Thrace was turned over to Greece with its} capital city, Adrianople, which the Turks had oc- cupied practically continuously for 560) years. Greece was encouraged to occupy a large portion of Asia Minor, still further driving back the Turks | with the loss of another of their-traditional cities. The merits of the diplomacy by which Greece, with the approval of Great Britain extended and reased her pressure against the Turks, and Tur-| with the approval of France, increased her re sistance to the Greeks, is not for the United States to determine. It is none of our business, but every intelligent observer in this country knew that an explosion in the Near East was bound to come if} such tactics were adhered to. Probably the lead. ling expert on Near Eastern affairs is General ownsend who led the British expedition up the lr igris in the war and was captured by the Turks |at Kut-el-Amara. He says it is foolhardy to hold Constantinople, that it should be returned to the Turks at once and all the other Turkish terms of peace accepted. As regards the Near East,, Europe has made its bed and now can lie in it. Were the United States to inject itself into the mess it woud mean not only the expenditure of much money and probably many lives, but it would incur also the certain emnity of either Great Britain or France, not to mention Greece and Turkey, depending upon which side the Americans espoused. We are at peace with the world just now, and every intelligent American de- sires to remain so. Our acts are guided by con- sideration for American welfare rather than in-| spired by emotional appeals of internationalist fanatics. | aan Dodging Public Duty AX EXEMPT BONDS! It has an attractive sound, but is one of the most unjust and un- ir evasions of public duty permitted under any |government. Statistics show that some twenty bil- lions of dollars is now invested in city, county, state and national bonds and securities which are exempt from taxation. In other words, when the | P income tax collector |comes around the man who is running a peanut stand, a little grocery store, a sawmill, a mine or any other business must show his profits and if he has made, above the exemption which he is al- lowed, $10, $1,000 or $10,000 he must pay a per- centage of such income to maintain the cost of government. Now turn to the man whose books show $10.006 income from tax exempt bonds which he holds. He }can make a face at the internal revenue collector stick his profits in his pocket and let the other fellow pay the taxes which provide security and protection for himself, his family and his property. Think of the load of taxation that is being car-) ried by the average citizen as a result of the gov- \ernment losing all taxable revenue from the in- $n face of the fact that every European nation has|come from fifteen to twenty billion dollars worth written at least one tariff (some of them have of proper‘ Is it any wonder the demand is grow-| written three or four) since the armistice, each one|ing for a change in these laws in the effort to re- being higher in its rates than the preceding one,| until today, in many European countries, tariff rates practically amount to an embargo. All of this propaganda is finding ready echo in Democratic newspapers and from Democratic mem-} hers of congress and other Democratic leaders who! are on the stump. They are all fearful that the| protective tariff is going to throw some European working men out of a job and deprive some Euro- pean manufacturers of a chance to exploit the American market. According to their theory, it” very selfish for this country to adopt a policy which protects its own industries and its.own workins men. They would have the country “altruistic” t the extent that our working men would be walking! the streets, our manufacturers without business,| our American farmers without a home market for tweir produce all im order that European nations might fatten on our adversity. In this connection it is very profitable to recall) the sentiments of President Harding in his annual message to congress last December, when he urged the enactment of a protective tariff. In that mes-| sage he took cognizance of just this propaganda and| Rave his opinion of it thus: “Sensible of every obligation of humanity, com- Therce and finance, linked, as they are, in the pres: ent world condition, it is not to be argued that we| need destroy ourselves to be helpful to others. With all my heart I wish restoration’ to the peo Wes blighted by the awful world war, but the pro: ess of restoration does not lie in our acceptance of like conditions. It were better to remain on firm ground, strive for ample employment and high standards of wage at home, and point the way to balanced budgets, rigid economies and _ resolute, efficient work as the necessary remedies to cure disaster.” ;“It is not an unworthy selfishness to seck to save obrselves when the processes of that salvation are not only not denied to others, but commended to! them. We seek to undermine for others no industry by which they subsist; we are obligated to permit the undermining of none of our own which make for employment and maintained activities.” “Much has been said about the protective policy for ourselves making it impossible for our debtors to discharge their obligations to us. If we must choose between a people in idleness pressing for the payment of indebtedness ,or a people resuming the normal ways of employment and carrying the credit, let us choose the latter.” ee eae Not Our Concern T IS GRATIFYING to the American people to know that the United States will not partici- pate in any of the political development in the Near East, and that under no circumstances will American forces aid in military operations in the Dardanells. The fact that it was deemed neces sary by the president to reiterate the independence of the United States from European entrangle. | |A {bers of a family are often antagonistic to other |stead of the whole nation pulling together to de- luce or equalize taxation burdens today? Domestic Discard ATION, like a family when it becomes too! prosperous often breeds dissention among its| members. Tetty jealousies too often arise and various sections or groups of individuals in the na- tion will fight other groups just as different mem- members or their interests. We see this situation today in the United States in regard to our merchant marine question. In- velop a great merchant fleet, our people are be-| fogged by political wrangling in congress, which} seeks to gratifiy personal ends and ambitions rath-! er than to secure the greatest benefit for the na- tion. This nation has become so large and prosperous that its individual members are spending a large part of their time lining themselves up into classes to fight each other. In the case of our merchant marine, foreign in-} terests stand to one side and quietly urge Ameri- cans to cut their own throats by rowing among themselves as to whether they will or will not adopt a national program favorable to the development of their shipping interests. e In the meantime the foreigner walks off with the bacon while our own people are calling each other names. Delay in settling our shipping legislation is a reflection on the intelligence of our national law- makers.
