It is much harder to defend Free Trade for a single country in a world of tariffs than to see that Free Trade all round must benefit every- body. Even the toughest Protectionist will usually admit that we should be better off without tariffs |if only other people would do without them too. But the acknowledgment is usually formal, {and Protectionists here and in other countries look upon all efforts to secu 1 general reduction of tariffs with the same kind of distrust as re- {tired admirals usually shew of a Disarmament which breeds THE DAILY ALASKA ‘EMPIRE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 9 1928. —_— s to New York he finds that Tam- many administrations have built the finest, sturdiest and most orderly ci in the world; that we are here receiv- ing the nations of the earth, educat- ing them, teaching them what America means and sending their children to Kansas and the other States imbued with and inspired by the ideals of the Re- public Not even Mr. White will convince one that Governor Smith, who, he s, “has unusual intelligence, splen- courage and rare political wisdom,” turn stupid, cowardly and man from Emporia well the White House would house the same Al Smith that we have had with us for fifty-four years—the same fine brain, the same good man, good citize good father and good American. any did will suddenly unwise The knows that Conference. which It is this blind, makes it so hard to ¢ persistent prejudice ry into effect the resolutions of the World onomic Conference in favor of freer trade. Nevertheless Mr. W. T.| Layton, who gave an address on the subject be-| fore the International’ Liberal Conference, was able to ik fairly cheerfully about what had actually been done even in the year which has already passed. The upward movement of tariffs has been definitely ch: ked, and there is a general reluctance to flout public opinion by a too ag- gressive tariff pol But we are still a long way off the general downward revision which the Conference advocated. There have been one or two ncable instances of something like conversion Mr. Layton cited the Australian Tariff Board's | comments on the mischievous effects of Protection in the Commonwealth,—but it seems that we must look for progress through separate com- mercial treaties rather than by means of a single comprehensive internaticnal convention. Never- theless the Consultative Committee of the League still hopes to secure results from internatioinal cenventions dealing with single industries. As means of communication improve the advantages to be derived from foreign trade increase 1t the tariffs of the world only remain constant they deprive the world of a growing quantity of potential wealth The proportion of foreign to home trade ought to grow in every country and every country ought to become increasingly dependent upon others for goods which may even be ¢ ntial to its life. Our Protectionists would deprive us by their folly of the benefits which sclence is willing to bestow. The Common Man. (Cinelnnati Enquirer.) This seems to be the day of the apotheosis of the common man throughout the world, and more distinctly so in America than for many In England, France, Italy, Russia, Greece, Poland, Turkey, the “man of the people” has taken precedence in government direction of the representatives of the ancient ruling orders. The tle for the Presidency this r is to be distinctly battle waged between men who came “‘up from the bottom.” The candidates for the Vice-Presidency similarly are men who knew hardships and deprivations common to the lot of average America The picture |sonnel of the and Herbert kept active in harmony lieutenants of Hoover, Both Good were poor boy And all of these {cipals and aids, represent the American citizenship. by' the per- iov.

In this connection a pleasing story comes from {Japan. Mr. Kuhara is the present Communica- tions Minister. The story runs as follows: Premier Tanaka and Mr. Kuhara were good friends even when the Premier was a mere policeman and Mr. Kuhara a godown keeper at a salary of yen per month. Their friendship, on long years of assoclation, was fully exhibited in the present Cabinet reor- gunization by the Premier's strong de- termination to appoint his lifelong friend as a Cabinet Minister cven at the cost of one or two other colleagues in the Cabinet.
