Claims High Tariff Destined to Cause Serious Injury to Com mercial Life. By Francis H. Sisson. Editor's Note. Francis H. Sisson is vice-president of the Guaranty Trust Company of New York City, one of the largest and most important banking concerns in the world. He is a student of international econom ics as well as being thoroughly famil iar with internal economics and the financial and industrial situation in the United States. What he has to say of tariffs and similar questions comes from his viewpoint as an econ omist and banker and not from the viewpoint of a politician. While economic depression pre vails throughout the world, as the in evitable aftermath of the most de structive of all wars, America can no more hope to solve its domestic econ omic problems alone than the world can reasonably expect to cure its multifarious economic ills by some magic panacea. In the final analysis, we were drawn into the European struggle because of the economic in erdependence of all civilized nations, and the only possible way we can fully recover from the effects of war is by international economic co-operation. Our complete realization of that dominant fact is the paramount need of the hour in this country. But we cannot effectively co-operate abroad until there is more effi cacious co-operation at home. It is a case of better team-work within and without. It is futile, for inslance, for one branch of the Government to en deavor to facilitate the granting of credits to prospective foreign buyers or our raw materials when another branch of the Government insists on making it impossible for those buyers to pay us their debts and liquidate the credits they obtain here. While the extent to which the War Finance Cor poration can aid American and for eign interests in its commendable ef forts to supplement private sources of credit in promoting our foreign trade may be questionable in view of the abnormal world situation and its colossal demands, its services must unavoidably be negatived to a considerable degree by the enactment of a permanently high tariff act. Consider Tariff. Consideration should be given to the effect of a high tariff not only upon particular industries, but upon the welfare of the country as a whole. We should not lose sight of the dif ference between conditions when the Payne-AIdrich law was enacted. The effect of the adoption of a high, pro tective tariff today may be quite un like the effect of the adoption of the Payne-AIdrich law and similar meas ures passed before the war. Prior to the war, the United States was a debtor nation and compara tively little thought was given to the effect of a protective tariff on our ex port trade. Today an altogether dif ferent situation obtains and the adop tion of a tariff law, with rates high enough to interfere seriously with our export trade, is destined to cause se rious injury to our commercial and industrial life. It is estimated that, prior to the war, European capital was invested in American securities to the approx imate amount of $6,000,000,000. The net payments of interest and divi dends on this capital, after deducting the amount owed to citizens of the United States on account of their for eign investments, required the an nual remittance abroad of between $175,000,000 and $225,000,000. Oth er payments, such as expenditures of American tourists, remittances by immigrants, freight, insurance, etc., brought the total up to about $500, 000,000. In order that these pay DIRECT NATIONAL FARM BUREAU IN 1922 SL ments might be met, it was necessary that our merchandise exports should exceed our imports by approximately the same amount. And, in fact, the average excess of exports over im ports for the years 1911 to 1914, in clusive, amounted to appropimately $550,000,000. Status Reversed. Our pre-war status has been com pletely reversed. From 1915 to 1917, inclusive, the demand of European nations for goods was so great that at the time of our entrance into the war our indebtedness to European invest ors has been more than balanced by the excess of our exports over im ports. After we entered the war we loaned approximately $10,000,000, 000 to the Allies, but up to the pres ent time they have not been able to pay even the accumulated interest thereon. In addition to this amount, we have put billions more at the dis posal of Europe through the repur chase of quantities of American se curities held there and by large pri vate investments in foreign currency and dollar bonds, as well as short- term export credits. The United States has thus become the leading creditor nation, and as soon as foreign governments are pre pared to pay interest on their indebt edness, we shall be entitled to re ceive more than $500,000,000 annual interest payments from abroad. While this amount will be offset in considerable degree by tourist' ex penditures, freights, insurance, etc., the balance is bound to be in our favor, even though no part of the principal is paid. A change in the relation of our exports to our im ports or the reinvestment abroad of large capital sums must be expected if Europe s debt to us is to be liqui dated. While it is true that the date of such liquidation may be temporar ily postponed through the extension of credits and the adoption of similar devices, it is nevertheless true that the debt must be paid eventually in goods, or not at all. It is, of course, important that the highest possible volume of export trade should be maintained if we are to have normal production in ou. mines and factories and on our farms and if we are not to be forced to scrap part of our new productive equipment. But an increase in im ports does not necessitate a corres ponding decrease in exports. It is en tirely possible that the present rela tion between exports and imports may be reversed without in any way decreasing the volume of exports. We can buy more without selling less and thereby enable our European debtors to pay off their obligations without crippling our industries or decreasing our national wealth in order to do so. A study of the devel opment of foreign trade in many Eu ropean countries will show this to be true. To Absorb Surplus. During the last few years we have increased our production of many commodities far beyond our own ca pacity to consume and we have been developing foreign markets especial ly in Latin-America, to absorb this surplus. From such markets we Im port many articles, some of which are not produced in this country. If we now limit the importation of those goods by high tariffs we should do ir reparable harm to our export trade i by preventing the Tree exchange of those commodities which our cus tomers have to offer in payment for what they purchase from us. The business stagnation of today is not due, as some advocates of high protective duties assert, to a flood of foreign goods competing with the produce of our own fields and fac tories. Moreover, in large part our imports are non-competitive goods, and it is in industries represented by some of these such as coffee and rub ber, in which stagnation is most pro nounced at the present time. Al though it is estimated that our ex port trade constitutes but about 10 per cent of the total trade of the country, it is commonly looked upon as the outlet for our surplus produc tive capacity of agriculture, trans portation, and manufacture and as a stabilizer of business. A healthy and prosperous foreign trade has be come of increased importance to a great many of our citizens. . It is consequently of serious domestic concern. While it is possible that a high, protective tariff on some articles may be proper, there is surely nothing in our economic situation which justi fies the adoption of a general tariff policy that will, in effect, erect a bar rier around our ports and isolate us commercially. It would seem to be equally illog ical for Congress to endeavor to re duce the onerous taxation burden, which is handicapping business, if it continues to spend the taxpayers' money extravagantly. Some Tax Figures. It should be remembered that gov ernmental expenditures for 1920 ex ceeded those from 1791 to 1865, in clusive, a period of 74 years. Furth ermore, it is imperative for the tax payers of this country seriously to consider the fact that obligations arising out of the recent and earlier wars, together with the current ex penses of the War and Navy depart ments, constituted 92.8 per cent of the total appropriations for 1920. Congress has appropriated for the military and naval establishments for the fiscal year 1921-2 the sum of $835,837,939. If we take these ap propriations as fairly representative of our annual military and naval ex penditures in the future it will be seen that, while Germany is paying $26,000,000,000 as interest and amortization of her present repara tions obligations of 50,000,000,000 gold marks, the United States will have expended in the same period $30,000,000,000 for military and na val purposes. Germany, it should be recalled, in- cidentatlly, has practically been re lieved of her army and navy under the provisions of the Treaty. She can therefore, divert revenues and labor that would otherwise be ex pended for armament into more pro ductive channels. There would also seem to be little use in spending billions of dollars to create a great merchant marine and in spending millions of more dollars to operate it, so long as we handicap it by laws that do not permit us to meet foreign shipping competition on an equal basis. And there is imperative need for closer co-operation among the va rious elements of our economic struc ture, especially in reducing produc tion costs. We cannot revive pros perity until the prices of other com modities are properly adjusted to those of primary products, particular ly agricultural products. As to Wages. The readjustment of production costs has been retarded by the fact that wages have declined less rapid ly than wholesale prices. The lag ging of wage revision is characteris tic of periods of falling prices. It is occasioned in some part by the cor responding failure of retail prices promptly to follow wholesale prices in the downwaard revision. The per sistence of high costs of living pre vents a more prompt readjustment of wage scales. Nevertheless, wages are declining and, generally speak ing, the revision has been effected without extraordinary resistence on the part of the workers. As retail prices decline the necessary wage readjustment will be hastened, with consequent encouragement of pro duction and consumption. These are only a few instances of many which could be cited to dem onstrate that there is as great need for the effective co-ordination of our economic factors while we are in the throes of the aftermath of war, as there was during the war which, in the final analysis, was won more by the close co-operation of those fac tors than by the drums and arma ment. lOST Log chain, between the Chs.

Advertisement The Merchant In This Community Did you really ever give the sub ject of the local merchant and you any serious thought? Perhaps you are a loyal citizen and patronize local shops and stores i as a matter of loyalty, but as this is ! nnt a lf-fiirA it will Ha tin friartn tn read this, anyhow. If you are one of the misguided folks who imagine you can do better elsewhere by all means read this! Your local merchant is first a citi zen, a resident of your community I the same as you are. He lives in your community, pays taxes along with you for the upkeep and improvement of your communi ty; he raises his family and sends his children to school schools which he helps, with you, to maintain. If he is a butcher, he buys clothes and shoes for his family from a fellow-merchant. No matter' what his line of business, he spends money with other business men of the com munity. He banks in local banks; he takes his family of an evening to the local shows. Summed up, the money he makes in the community is spent in it. Were it not for your local mer chant, there would be no schools, no paved streets, no public buildings, no progress nor prosperity. He is here day in and day out, rain or shine, giving his time and energy and money to whatever will benefit the district, taking part in the admin istrations of the community or aiding to regulate the administration for the best interests of the community by his vote. HE IS A CITIZEN ! Is he not entitled, then, to consid eration? But there is something more than a call for your loyalty to him as citi zen to citizen neighbor to neighbor. Living here as he does, he comes to know his customers. They are to him not "just customers," but "fel day, his business gets his personal at he will be here tomorrow and the next day and next year, meeting his customers face to face, day after his business gets his personal atten tention every transaction is a per sonal dealing between him and his patron. He in not your huge store where thousands flock in daily, many for the one time only. He is not your fly-by-night get-'em-once-and-gouge-'em-good fakir. He is your neighbor your fellow citizen, building for tomorrow and next year, and fully cognizant that the only way to build is to sell good goods at right prices. Your local merchant is in himselT a guarantee of his goods and prices and services because he is always at the same stand meeting largely the same customers. He cannot exist upon the pat ronage of transients his liveli hood comes from permanent resi dents; his aim is to make permanent residents regular customers. He must do this hence his wares, his prices and his service are all and al ways arranged and held to this end. You never heard your live-wire, wide-awake home merchant say, "Oh, well one customer, more or less makes no difference." Every cus tomer, to him, is important; a new customer is eagerly sought, and a customer less well, your local mer chant will not let it happen if any thing just and reasonable under the sun will prevent such a thing hap pening. So not alone out of a sense of loy alty to your community, but for your own sake for the sake of your purse and the satisfaction of being given personal attention and service buy of our home merchants. Venice (Calif.) Vanguard. FARMERS' PHONE LINES. The November storm played havoc with every farmers' telephone line that lay in its path. Many of them were utterly prostrated. A few of them, though four weeks have pass ed, have not yet been restored. A high wind will damage any country telephone line. When ac companied by rain which turns to ice as it falls, destruction is almost com plete. To restore these lines re quires labor and material. Both mean so much cash. Even if no provision had to be made to repair storm damage, a fund should be provided for upkeep. In common with all other mechanical apparatus a telephone naturally de teriorates, therefore a charge should be made to the users of the utility for the purpose of keeping the sys tem up to normal efficiency. Very few of the fanners' lines in Oregon have made such provision. As a consequence the rehabilitation of the destroyed lines called for fresh capital, and at a time when farmers had little or no money to spare. They should profit by the lesson of the November storm by creating an up keep fund. Experience has proved that the least onerous way of creating a re serve is by monthly installments a regular overhead charge to be paid at the same time as monthly rentals. Authority to do this will, of course, be granted by the Public Service commission. Whether it be one independent serce is by monthly installments -a farmers' line or a group of lines connected by an exchange, the prin cipal is the same. As it is now, nearly all the farmers' lines are in adequately financed, and it is far bet ter that a reasonable reserve should be systematically created than that the owners of the line should remain in a position where thev may he called upon after any violent storm to put up ca-,h to rebuild destroyed property Portland TeUgrjin. Gratitude. A Midland golfer was accompanied round the links by a very shabbily dressed caddie. Rather touched by this, he generously gave the boy suf ficient money to buy a new outfit. The recipient tried to express his gratitude. "Oh, that's all right, my boy!" said the benefactor cheerily. "Say nothing. Be a good lad that's all." But the caddie could no longer restrain himself. "Please, sir," he burst out, "I'm sorry you're such a rotten player!" London Morning Post. Something For All. Two farmers in an English coun try inn had managed to get hold of a newspaper. One held it and they both devoured it. And some time one of them muttered : "Marvelous things, them newspa pers. Cater to every taste. Some thing for every one." "Yes," said the other, "but wnat's that kind of blank space?" He pointed to the space at the foot of the stop press news. "Oh, that," said the first airily, that be for them as can't read." Chicago Herald and Examiner. Not a Jackass, Exactly. Two colored gentlemen were en gaged in conversation when one of them became very much annoyed by the persistent attention of a large fly. "Sam, whutkin'aflyamdis?" "Dat am a hoss-fly. A hoss-fly am a fly whut buzzes 'roun' eows V hosses 'n' jackasses " "You ain' makin' out to call me no jackass?" "No, I ain't makin' out for to call you no jackass, but you caint fool dem hoss fiies." Argonaut. Long Life Assured. Brown was the possessor of very large feet and a very bad cough. He entered a shoe store and the young clerk turned the place upside down to find something to fit him. Brown had just tried on the fortieth pair when he started coughing. "Nasty cough!" said the assistant. "Yes," gasped Brown. "Doctor says I've got one foot in the grave." "I shouldn't worry," said the as sistant. "You'll never get the other in; it's too big!" Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. Fitting Her. The portly Irishman waddled into the shop. "What can I do for you," asked the salesman. "Oi want a motor car," said the Irishman. "A first-class ottymobile." "Is it for yourself, sir?" "Sure ye're inquisitive, but if ye must know, 'tis for me woife." "Long body, sir?" "Listen to the man!" exclaimed Pat. "Long body? Begorra, no! She's built like a barrel, same as me. But phwat's that got to do wi' it?" Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. A visiting Britisher tells of a cei- tain vicar who had long been eager to see an extension of the parish burying ground. At last his wish was gratified. Soon after the opening he felt called upon to speak a few words of condolence to a widower who was placing a tribute of flowers. uood afternoon, my dear sir, said the vicar, approaching breezily, "good afternoon!" Then gazed around in a contented wav. "Our new cemetery," he continued, "seems to be filling up nicely." Washington Herald. C. E. Woodson, one of the attor neys for the plaintiffs in the suit of the Northern Pacific Railway Com pany, et al, against the directors of the John Day Irrigation District, F. A. McMenamin, F. R.
