We Love Speed. 1 WOULD be untruthful to say that anything done quickly is not well done. But the desire) of people for speed these days often sends them} off to pursue something that does not mean any: thing and brings no results. We can learn to play the piano in twenty-four hours by filling out a coupon in a magazin® ad- vertisement. We can learn to dance in one evening in the privacy of our own room by filling out another roupol. Ne can recure a complete education by simply ing fifteen minutes a day. ‘ barr ee which says, truthfully or not, that it gets results quickly becomes the fad of the hour and interests clients. ‘We pick these things up quickly, but drop them just as quickly, when we discover that they are not bringing about the things we desire as rapidly we desire to have them. Ne spend lots of time and devote considerable energy to finding short ways of doing things. The} old get-rich-quick bunkum still persists and makes its tremendous appeal to many who feel that a certain mythical oi! well is certain to make them) millionaires overnight. The come-one game ‘still) finds its victims among those who are obsessed} with the idea of speed. Perhaps the latest, and certainly the most com-| menduble form which the speed mania has taken js the desire to get well quickly. There are few] things that have had the instant and almost uni-| versal popularity as the doctrines of the By chemist, Coue. And most of that popularit jased on the fact that the doctrine appeals to the get-well-quick instinct of the American people. Time Has Proved the Wisdom. (TOTHING has so vindicated the action of the American senate in its rejection of the Ver- sailles, treaty the present European situation. Had they ratified the treaty, this government now would be a partisan and an active participant in the differences which have resulted in the occu- paney of the Ruhr district of Germany. We would now be involved in the bitterness and growing ha- treds which mark the controversy over the repara- tions issue. We would willy nilly, be taking sides officially; we would be expected to use our govern- mental machinery, our official authority and if necessary our armed forces, to support the side with which we cast our lot. We would have, by this time, been lined up against France, Italy, and Belgium in the present controversy, or we would lave been lined up against Germany and Great Britain. In either event, we would have sowed the seeds of international distrust and enmities that wonld have borne bitter fruit for generations. As it is, we re well out of the controversy of- ficially. We are officially neutral, with no selfish interests to serye and no associates or allies to sus iain. In this officially neutral position we have} tremendous infiuence With all the powers con-| cerned, We have incurred the enmity of none of them. Because we are neutral—a condition that] could not be had we ratified the treaty and now} been 1 party to this controversy: Each of the} Haiopean ¢ tries affected is seexing our favor.) We. of all uations, are in a position to bring about an amicable adjustment of the European situation, not by getting into it, but by staying out of it. It is becoming more and more apparent each day} that the refusal of the senate to ratify the treaty) with its league covenant did not bar us from help ing Europe. To the contrary, that action placed us in position to render far greater help than would, otherwise have been possible. The best testimony to the wisdom of the senate is the present attitude of those who were the most vindictive critics of the senate’s refusal to ratify the treaty. They denounced the senate then for not ratifying the treaty. Now they are denounc-! ing the treaty which the senate refused to ratify. They are now saying the treaty 1s a miserable docu- ment which must be drastically revised and wholly | re-written if there is to be any pence in Europe. | not intend to become involved in E 15 and 16) Branch Telephone Exchange Connecting All Departments) y ritory, forming, aleng with other allied armies, Copies of the Daily! 5) istration mesely completed the policy which it an- ton | elivery after subscription | | hand, for the same periods there was a substantial | States Department of Commerce, Canadian exports ~ j to ny United States for October, 1922, the first | complete month under the new protective tariff, k t Canadian goods, and that as a totaled $32,885,109, The Canadian exports to the) Kee? ov 4 pet haat United States for October, 192i, totaled §26,015,-| Canada would probably boycott American goods This is exactly the position the senate took when the treaty was presented for thoir consideration. | They insisted then that the treaty, with the cove-| would nte inte al bitterness, nant, breed hatreds, work injustices and cause wars insten of promoting the cause of peace, and for that rea son they refused to ratify. It has taken two years for their critics to come around to that viewpoint, but the events which have transpired and are trana-| piring, in Europe compel every reasonable man to 4 accept that viewpoint as the only logical and ten- Family Styff, able one. The best evidence that this administration does m contro- versies is the decision to bring home all American soldiers which have been stationed in German ter- the army of occupation. Propagandists have en- deavored to read into this decision all sorts. of things. There is but one explanation, and that is the simple, logical, truthful one. So long as differences between the allied powers and Germany were discussed amicably and there was no prospect of a physical clash between the armed forces of the parties at controversy, the United States government in response to requests from all parties concerned, maintuin-d a small armed force in German territory. The moment, however, that a clash between parties to the con- troversy became possible and there was a likeli- hood of our soidiers being called upon by one side or the other to take part physically against the other side, there remained but one thing for the United States to do: recall all its troops. This it has done. In doing so, it is noteworthy that the admin- nounced and commenced early in its history. Noth- ing could be better proof of the administration’s emtermination to remain free from European em- broglios than its recailing from European soil the last remnant of the tremendous expeditionary army it sent abroad when it became actively en- gaged in war. } No Damage Done. deat TRADE propagandists are tireless. Also they are trutliless. An example of glaring mis- representation which’ Democratic and free trade mediums present in order to discredit the protec: tive tariff is furnished by an article in the New York World upon the subject of Canada’s exports to the United States. In this article the following occurs : or the twelve months ending October 31, 1922, Oanadian exports to the United States were to the value of $337,073,218. During the previous twelve months they totaled $390,788,018. The decline un- doubtedly showed the progressive effects of the restrictive United States tariff. On the other increase in exports to the United Kingdom.” The new protective tariff went into effect Sep- tember 22. According to the reports of the United 476. In other words, during the first complete month under the present protective tariff, Canada exported to this country, $6,869,633 more goods than it did in October, 1921. This completely gives the lie to the propaganda printed in the New York World to the effect that the tariff caused a de- crease of Canada’s exports to the United States. oie : r {ean territories mentioned, which include Argen: United Kingdom have substantially increased dur-| 4; y fin. ing the last year. This is not due to the protective | tins, Brasil, Chile, and Colombia, our exports in tariff of the United States, but to the tariff laws of | the United Kingdom, which discriminates against goods from the United States in favor of goods from: Canada. T' discrimination varies from 10! to 20 per cent insfayor of Canadian goods, includ- ing all kinds of agricultural products, This dis- crimination in the tariff of the United Kingdom was made @ part of England's tariff laws effective Che Caspet Daily Tribune It's A MeaN PASE: StS Past Yoon Be0-TiME.!

That Canada is selling more agricultural products in the United Kingdom proportionately than the United States is due to this British tariff which favors Canada and other British colonies and not to the American yrotective tariff. The dominion of Canada since the war kas en- ed three protective tariff laws, all of which discriminated against the United States in favor| is of the United Kingdom and other British posses- sions, The last of these tariffs was in full force and effect over a year before the FordneyMcCum- ber tariff became a law. This fact disposes of the charge that any tariff which Canada or the United Kingdom may re is due to an effort upon their part to retaliate against the protective tariff en- acted by the United States. In point of fact, the operation of the Fordney- McCumber tariff has awakened Canada to a real- ation that she is the nation that should recon: sider bor tariff legislation. The Fordney-McCum- her tarixf contains a proviso that the rates may be materially increased by executive order on imports from those countries which impose a high tariff on American goods of like character. The Can- adian tariff, enacted and operative over a year be- fore the Fordney-MeCumber tariff became a law, imposes a high rate on imports of lumber and wood products from the United States. Alarmed at the possibility of the United States retaliating and knowing full well that such retaliation would be justified, the Canadian government is now mak- ing overtures to this country to establish reciprocal relations on timber, lumber and wood products, the effect of which would be, not a change in our tariff laws, but the removal of Canada’s tariff against such imports from the United States. |! In other words,’ so long as the United States had no protective tariff Canada, in common with a great many other nations, felt free to exploit this country and at the same time to raise high rates ngainst our exports. But when this country was armed with a protective tariff with a clause which gave the President power to raise rates still higher against nations which had prohibitive rates on American imports, Canada in common with other nations of the world, is beginning to take a differ- ent attitude toward the United States and hint at the desirability of establishing reciprocal rela-, tions, | cast Fa fae he | r : | Answer to the Calamity Squad. | A® INCREASE in exports of $86,000,000 in No-' vember 1 over 1921, is a very definite answer to the statement preserved in by the opponents of the new tariff law, while it was under debate, that it would put the brake on our foreign sales. Ex- ports for November, 1921, totaled $294,000,000 and for November, 1922, the first full month under the Fordney-McCumber law (October figures included ten days of September) they totaled $380,000,000. With the exception of exports to Asia, which fell off $4,000,000, those to every other grand division showed marked improvement: To Europe they increased $63,000,000; to North America, #15,000,- 000; to South America, $9,000,000; and to Africa and Oceania, $3,000,000. Every European ccuntry mentioned in the ad- vance sheet of the Department of Commerce took more of onr goods in November, 1922, than in Noyember, 1921, the most marked increases being to France, $13,000,000; to Germany, $3,000,000; to Italy, $5,000,000; to the Netherlands, $8,000,000; to nssin in Europe, nearly $2,000,000; to Spain, €2,- 0; to Sweden, $1,000,000; and to the United $29,000,000.
