EUROPE IS FLAT BROKE; RESTRICT IMPORTATIONS Opponents of an American protective tariff continue to advance the argument that the enactment of such a tariff will result in a decline of our export trade: (1) Because by preventing this nation's market from being flooded by cheaply made products of other countries this country will not be able to sell to other countries. (2) The enactment of a protective tariff by this country will invite retaliation from other countries in the form of high tariffs that will keep out Atherican products. The answer to the first argument is furnished by the records of the department of commerce, which show that every time this country has enacted a protective tariff its exports have, under the operations of that tariff, increased very materially. The second argument, that the enactment of an American protective tariff by this congress will invite retaliation from other countries in the form of high tariffs is false and misleading for the very simple reason that 22 of the leading nations of the world have already erected high tariff walls against imports, tariff walls which have been operating for months against the importation of American products. In this list of 22 nations is included the British empire, which means not only the United Kingdom, but the British dominions—Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India and South Africa—and all the British colonial possessions, whether insular or continental. This fact clearly proves that the propaganda which is being circulated throughout the United States to the effect that the enactment of an American protective tariff will invite reprisals by other countries is a propaganda that is absolutely false because it predicts that American tariff will ment of an American protective tariff will invite reprisals, because other countries have not waited for this nation to pass a protective tariff before they have put into effect high tariffs or absolute embargoes. These facts also show that the United States is not going to obtain the foreign trade of such countries whether it enacts a protective tariff or whether it does not. In other words, we have already lost the trade of the countries which have placed an embargo against our goods. So that there is nothing to be gained in the way of foreign markets by a refusal to enact a tariff which protects our own markets. The embargoes and the high tariffs put into effect by other countries of the world have not been imposed out of a spirit of economic hostility to this country or to other countries. The plain truth of the situation is the European countries are flat broke. With the single possible exception of England, no country which was engaged in war is balancing its budget. In truth the budget reports from these countries show that they are much deeper in debt now than they were when the armistice was signed. As a result of this financial situation and because of it, it is absolutely essential to all such countries that their imports be restricted as much as possible. In order to prevent the buying of goods abroad, which would increase their indebtedness to other countries and take money from their own country, these European nations were compelled to establish absolute embargoes or prohibitive tariffs. In this way they compel their people to buy at home of their home manufacturers everything which is made at home. They prohibit their people from buying any luxuries from abroad. All that is permitted to be imported are necessities which cannot be produced within their own country. pers, telegraphic and telecommunications, has a circulation million copies daily. Givings are read, probably twenty million people called "corrupt practice" by these publications.

This fact clearly proves that the propaganda which is being circulated throughout the United States to the effect that the enactment of an American protective tariff will invite reprisals by other countries is a propaganda that is absolutely false because it predicts that American tariff will bring about a condition which in point of fact already exists and has existed for some time—under the Underwood free trade tariff. Not only have the leading nations in the world enacted high tariff walls which operate against American imports, but not satisfied with protection afforded their markets by such high duties, a great number have established absolute embargoes against foreign imports. Italy established an absolute embargo in August, 1921, on a very long list of articles. This list, broadly speaking, included all articles which can be made in Italy and all articles which the Italian authorities arbitrarily classify as "luxuries." Although this embargo has been relaxed somewhat since its imposition, there yet remains a long list of articles which are prohibited entrance to Italy, and the United States is the exporter of a very large quantity of these articles. Czecho-Slovakia in March, 1920, established an embargo prohibiting the importation of all articles the like of which are made within that country and also all articles which are classified by the authorities of that nation as luxuries. Many American exports are included in this list. Germany has an embargo under the name of a licensing system. Permission to import goods must be obtained by a license and no license is issued for importation of luxuries or for any articles which can be or are being made in Germany—including, of course, a long list of American-made articles. Hungary has a similar system of licensing which amounts to an embargo and which absolutely prohibits a long list of articles which the United States produces and exports. Poland is another country which prohibits importation of articles the like of which are manufactured within that country and also all articles which the Polish government arbitrarily classifies as luxuries.

His competitor is forbidden to expend for purposes legitimate in themselves more than a given small amount in buying space in these newspapers to offset the propaganda against him. The owner of the papers may put his advertising rates as high as he likes in order to limit the extent of his opponent's publicity. A candidate for office may possess a business organization extending into every nook and corner of his district, and may use it as Henry Ford did in Michigan to the limit thus obtaining the advantage of personal effort of incalculable value in a campaign, but if his competitor undertakes to offset that advantage by expending anything like an adequate amount for organization he is liable to a jail sentence. A member of congress may be able to use patronage or other favors in building up an organization for himself, and he can save postage bills by using the official frank in mailing out Hungary has a similar system of licensing which amounts to an embargo and which absolutely prohibits a long list of articles which the United States produces and exports. Poland is another country which prohibits importation of articles like of which are manufactured within that country and also all articles which the Polish government arbitrarily classifies as luxuries. Belgium has practically prohibited the importation of articles made in that country by the imposition of a 300 per cent tariff on manufactured goods such as textiles, iron and steel, chemicals, soap, rubber goods automobiles pianos etc. Spain has established an embargo on a large number of articles including wheat and flour. Switzerland requires a special license to be issued before anyone may import cotton woolen or silk textile goods, cutlery, celluloid, various kinds of pottery, stone and porcelain ware and meat products when put up in tin or glass—which applies directly to many exports from this country. Great Britain has the licensing system under her "Safeguarding of Industries Act." At present she has not applied it to any products from the United States because she is amply protected from such imports by her tariff of 33.3 per cent, but in her licensing system she has a weapon which she is able to use at any time to stop absolutely all imports of any character. Peru, Roumania, Ecuador and other countries have embargoes against a selected list of articles, all of which are produced and exported from this country. This exposes the fallacy and the falsity of the argument that the enact- pers, telegraphic and syndicate services, has a circulation in all of ten million copies daily. Some of its outgivings are read, probably, by at least twenty million people. Under so-called "corrupt practices" acts, favored by these publications, this syndicate, under socialist control, may go as far as it likes in attacking or boosting any candidate. Under the law as it stands and as it is proposed to let it stand, any attempt to offset this propaganda through the only feasible means is a criminal offense. Office holders and publishers of a certain type and radicals in general are seeking to tie the hands of all those who do not possess their means of influencing public opinion. The campaign amounts to an attack upon the liberty of the individual to publish his views with the same facility offered to publishers, radical organizations and professional politicians. There should be no limit by law upon the amount any candidate or organization may spend for publicity. Any other system represents an overturning of a principle essential in free government. Corruption should be prohibited and penalized. This might well extend to the prohibition of employment of individuals for all but the most limited service in connection with either primaries or elections.
