A TRADE WAR.
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.

Don't be embarrassed by a suspicious
bulging tin on your hip
If you go running around with a
big, bulky, tobacco tin bulging on
your hip nowadays, you're apt to
have the law hot on your trail
. . . But with the new, soft, foil
package snug in your hip pocket
you'll avoid all appearance of evil
,and your chances of being copped
as a vicious sco2-law get smaller
with the package every time you
load your pipe . . . And listen,
there's a real kick in that mild,
' mellow Granger you'll find inside.
R1V
Eliminating the tin take
five cents off Granger's price
Compare Granger with any tobacco
made, for taste, for richness, for
coolness then compare it for
price I Instead of costly tins, a foil
package, and hence a straight sar
in of five cents.
