This has been advocated for 100 Years, so it is nothing new. The time is ripe to make the change. The R. F. C. has Jent $89,000,000 to banks that failed siice the loan was made. At another time jt lent $90,000,000 to the Dawes bank in Chicago, and here comes its president and says the bank violated good banking principles, which caused its difficulty. Is there anything being done about it? Not a thing; not even a word of censure. If that isn't applied com- munism, what in heaven’s name is it? Great interest is expressed in Roose- Yelt’s plan for providing jobs. It is to be a huge experiment, and is expected to give employment to 200,000 men in the Ten- nessee Valley alone. It includes: Re- forestration, creation of flood control basins, reclamation of fertile bottom lands WAR SCARS SILLY Talk of war between the United; States and Japan is silly. ; If there is any national Japan against Americans it has not de- veloped to a great extent. Japanese states- men are impatient over the action of our own diplomats, but that is a most natural thing under the. circumstances. Protests | on the part of the Japanese people natural. But the warnings that Japan is financ- | ing an army and navy war basis is ridiculous. Japan has appropriated the sum of $160,000,000 for her military bud- get, according to press reports. Yet the army and navy budget of the United | States, for the year 1932 was $820,000,- 000! In newspapers and over the radio there has been a great deal of discussion of late in regard to the possibility of war with Japan over the question of Japanese occupation of Chinese territory. Some of our timid citizens are lying | awake nights worrying over what will hap- pen to the country and our people, if and when, as they say in Wall Street, the yel- low race invade our shores and overrun our territory. There can be no doubt that in suchia contingency our experience would be de- cidedly disagreeable, but the odds are very much against any such occurrence. In the first place, Japan is too small a nation to successfully cope with us in a war. She is too far distant from us to worry us overmuch in any conflict that might take place. She has no allies, or possible allies, that could seriously embarrass us. Under the circumstances, the Japanese are too intelligent to commit so grievous an error. Still eternal vigiJance is the price of security. feeling in are} } TARIF F PROPAGANDA The wave of hysteria sweeping over the country at the present time demanding an increase in our import tariffs in order to protect us from the competition of “‘cheap money” may be based on sound reasoning. ‘But it may also be due to a clever publicity campaign on the part of industrial leaders who have been milking the country for the past twenty years and who are today fac- ing the loss of some of their advantages. With their defeat at the polls last November these profiteers are facing a reduction in the tariff that will shear them of their huge profits. What better way to protect their present position than to frighten the people of the country with a threat of a flood of foreign products made cheaply because of so-called ‘icheap money.” Instead of demanding a -reduc- tion of the iniquitous Hawley-Smoot tariff law, these bankers and industrialists are demanding that the tariff be increased! And the country is in a fair way to fall in- to the trap. There is a rather mistaken idea cur- rent that the foreign shipper pays the tariff. Even the most simple mind can realize that the selling cost of an article to the ultimate consumer must combine the manufacturing cost, the shipping cost, the manufacturer’s profit—plus the tariff. If foreign made articles can be sold more cheaply than they can be produced in our own country, in order to shut out these articles our own people must pay a higher price for the same articles made by us. Theoretically we put a tariff on for- eign made goods to protect our workers. Actually we put a tariff on foreign made goods to enable our heads of big business to charge a higher price and thus increase their profits. America can buy raw materials just as cheaply as can foreigners. American machinery is of the most modern and effi- cient type. American labor is the best in the world. American made goods can compete, except in rare instances, with the output of any foreign nation in the world. A little study of a long list of products | made in our own and foreign countries will | readily prove this to be true. Thus tariffs only enable our own manufacturers to charge our own consumers a higher price! because of the shutting off of competition. | We pay that tariff.

The worthy textbook also gave some meager ideas of how the sec retary of state handled all of the foreign relations of our govern- ment, and that he was the keeper of the great seal of the Union. The fact that the secretary of state is the intermediary between the United States and other govern- ments somehow was clear enough, but it was not until years later that I became aware of the important functions he performs in matters appertaining to purely domestic af- fairs, Nearly all of the governments of the world maintain an oftice, usu- ally designated as the ministry of foreign affairs, which considers and acts on nothing except questions be tween governments. Our Depart- ment of State does that, but its other work is equally important. No better illustration can ve found perhaps of how the Depart ment of State serves in domestic affairs than the fact that the secre. tary of state formally publishes all laws and resolutions enacted by congress, It may be just a formal ity after all, but nevertheless every act of congress passes across the desk of the secretary, or some one acting for him, before becoming the law of the land. In order to make this phase of his work clear, consider the course followed by a resolution of con- gress amending the Constitution, It never goe: to the President at all; the secretary of state receives it di rect from congress, and in turn transmits it to the secretaries of state of each of the states. After the respective state _ legislatures have acted, their secretary of state advises the secretary of state of the federal government and when 36 of the 48 states have approved of it,, the secretary of state announces it as a part of the Consiitution. In correspondence which the Pres (dent has with the vovernors of the several states, the communications pass through the hands of the sec tetary of state so that he stands , actually as the medium by which the states and the federal govern- ment are in contact. 4 Mention was made earlier of the great seal of the Union. It is care fully protected by the secretary of state and its preservation is just as important as are the copies of treaties with foreign governments. executive proclamations and com- missions to which that seal fs af- fixed after they have been signed jby the secretary of state. When ever a fugitive from justice—a jeriminal or one charged with a ‘erime who has escaped to a foreign ‘land—is sought to be returned to the United States, the warrant for extradition from the land of his ref- uge must bear the signature of the secretary of state and have the great seal affixed, : Now as to the other phase of the ‘dual job handled by the Department of State; that agency is the foun. tain head of the nation’s foreign policy. In other words, it is the place in which the views of the United States, as a nation, on al! questions affecting another govern: ment, are formulated, because for. eign policy after all is nothing but settled opinion pursuant to those views. They have their origin among the men who are conversant with all details of the problem and while they require the sanction of the President always, and of the senate when there is an agreement, or a contract, arranged between the nations, the fundamentals always are worked out under the supervi- sion of the secretary of state. From this it 1s easy to under- stand why there is a necessity for the far-flung service of diplomats who officially represent the United States in every nation of the world. The highest rank of these, of course, is the ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary. After that rank is the envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary, Then come the consu! general, the vice consul and consuls, so that thronghout the world a citizen of the United States | need travel only short distances { @aywhere until he is in touch with an official of bis own nationality, It is equally easy to comprehend how the relations between for any one of the officials mentioned above overlooks nothing that will engender good will for his government. There are treaties of amity and commerce and there are special | treaties of specific questions such | as that recently negotiated with Canada and relating to the derel- | opment of the St. Lawrence deep ; | waterway to the Atlantic Every } ome of these had their beginnings in the Department of State. the | | Uaited States and any other gov- ernment are maintained, eeccene PCOCCCCESELECCLOLOCOLCESEOLECOOLOOSOOS Daily Cross-word Puzzle CEG evccvocegoegosepsconsaesesccccscoogeoooRoecess Solution of Yesterday's Puzzle 6.
