Senator Arthur Capper, of .Kansas, writes a most inter esting article in the New York Sunday .Times op conclu sions he has drawn from V. trip to many European coun tries the past summer. Senator Capper, who has been a student of economics and a business man of high standing, wains America of a trade war that is already being- waged by nations of Europe to destroy our. doniinence of world markets. Referring to the widespread sale of American products throughout Europe and the effort being made to slop its' growth, he says: "European business men and their governments are alarmed by the extent of American competi tion, and already a tremendous struggle is being waged in the markets of the Old World, having as its 'ultimate objec thp. .curbing, nay, the virtual exclusion, of this tide of American agricultural and industrial products. Another world war is already in 'progress, directly affectinsr every American farmer and wage earner. We are in the midst of a commercial conflict that dwarfs any previous trade rivalry the world has ever seen. In this conflict the United States faces the concerted at tack of virtually all European nations. "The American farmer is as deeply concerned in this struggle as the American wage-earner and factory owner, for unless we can continue to find a market abroad for our surplus products of all kinds we shall have slutted markets at home, re sulting, of course, in depressed prices, widespread unemployment and general shrinkage of projierty values." , Capper goes on to the various methods lieing employed or advocated for the protection of European enteiprise. J rolultitive tarilf, limitation of the amount of imports allowed to come in during a given period, and development i.f an "imperial Difference nolicv" aided bv manv trade concessions are some of the means resorted to. Restora tion nnil extension of agriculture to cut down food im ports, development of hydro-electric power to reduce de mands for outside coal these are important parts of the war program. There is no doubt that America is to have keen compe tition in foreign markets in the future and that steps must be taken, as Capper argues, to secure better and cheaper land and water transportation and marketing facilities, but after all such a trade war is slow to alxilish existing con ditions and American competition can be as keen as any Europe may devise. The trade supremacy of this country is not resulting from the opportunity that a world war gave. It is resulting from industrial and iigricultur.il efficiency. We can make better products and make them cheaper, and we can grow more and better crops to the acre than any other country of the world. The only way in which Europ ean countries can successfully compete with us eventually is to practice the sound business and the modern methods j that are so characteristic of American effort. And anyone i who has seen the European method of farming or the aver-! age manufacturing practice outside of Germany will admit that much must be done before they can do without Ameri can inuKirts. regai-dloss of tariff levies and other restric tions. We are in the midst of a trade war, it's true, and it's a war brought on by American efficiency and progress. Those same qualities should be most effective in concluding it in our favor.
