' Nevada Senator Makes
Plea For Return To
U.S. Tariff Protection
An impassioned plea for a return to the "traditional republi
can policy'' of protective trade barriers was made by Sen. George
W. Malone of Nevada, who spoke to a near-capacity audience of
Jackson county republicans at the annual dinner of the county
Lincoln club last night.
The banquet, held In the pioneer room of the Jackson hotel,
is one of the best attended of republican events in the county, and
more than 230 persons from all sections of the Rogue valley were
present.
Opening his talk with praise
for the work being done through
out the nation by young republi
cans, and citing favorably the
record of Oregon's congressional
representation, the senator
sounded a call for greater hones
ty and integrity in government,
which he said is lost in the pres
ent administration. He character
ized the "true deal" as socialist,
rather than "democratic."
He added that both socialists
and communists have the same
ultimate objective the organiza-
- Following is the text of a
resolution adopted unanimous

' coin club last night follow
ing the address by Senator
George W. Malone. It is the
same as the resolution recent
ly passed by the republican
national committee, and the
Multnomah County Republi
can committee.
"We favor the promotion of
world trade on the basis of
fair and reasonable competi
tion, and we assert that this
can be done consistently with
the republican principle that
foreign goods produced by under-paid
foreign labor shall
not be admitted to this coun
try on terms which endanger
the living standards of the
American working man or the
American farmer, or threaten
serious injury to a domestic
Industry."
tion of a "perfect state" where
the individual owns nothing. The
only difference between the two,
he said, is in their methods. "The
communist will shoot to obtain
his objectives," the senator said,
"and the socialist will spend.
You might say that a commun
ist is an impatient socialist."
Denounces Free Trade
Senator Malone then launched
into his principle message, a de
nuncitaion of the free trade poli
cies of the democratic adminis
tration, and his advocacy of pro
tective tariffs.
The Nevada republican said
that he was a member of a group
of senators, both republican and
democrat, who are responsible
for the "death" of the bipartisan
foreign policy in effect since the
early nays of the war.
j Malone listed three points
' which, he said, made the "so
called bi-partisan policy" a dan
ger to the nation.
"Abrogates Authority"
The first of these occurred in
1934 when the congress "abro
gated its constitutional author
ity" over the tariffs of the na
tion, and permitted the state de
partment to sign reciprocal
trade agreements without con
gressional approval. These agree
ments, Malone said, are "one
way streets." They do not pro
vide reciprocity, they allow the
importing of foreign goods in
competition with American pro
ducts, and, he said, do not al
low comparable exports of Amer
ican goods on a competitive
basis.
The second point listed by Ma
lone was what he termed the
"making up of European trade
deficits' through the Marshall
plan and ECA financial assist
ance. This is merely sending
money to foreign nations to en
able them to buy goods from us
with our own dollars, he said.
Would Equalize Standards
The third point cited by the
senator was the proposed Inter
national Trade organization,
which, he said, would act to
"equalize" the standards of liv
ing throughout the world, pos
i sibly raising that in other na
tions fractionally, but bringing
down the American standards to
r much lower level at the same
f" time.
' He said that the formation of a
United States of Europe, and the
establishment of the principle of
free convertibility of money
would be a partial solution to the
economic problem raised by
these points, but the most im
portant measure which could be
taken, he said, would be the re
Cdtabhshment of tariff protec
tion. Sponsors Bill
He is the sponsor of a "Flex
ible Import Fee bill," which
provides for sliding tariff rates
on individual imports, set and
changeable by a tariff commis
sion. It would allow. Malone
said, imports on what he called
a "fair, reasonable' and competi
tive basis." and would give
American industries the same op
portunities for trade in this coun
try that goods produced with
cheap labor enjoy.
This, or a philosophy closely
comparable, has been the tradi
tional policy and principal of the
republican party for 75 years, he
said, and the tariff barriers,
coupled with native American
ability and know how, arc al
most solely responsible for the
standard of living in this coun-

try which is so far above that
in the rest of the world.
Cites "Entanglements"
By enacting this sliding-fee
bill, Malone said, the congress
would' simply reassume its con
stitutional authority over the
nation's economy. It would also
separate the national economy
from the nation's foreign policy,
which have become inextricably
entangled in recent years, he
added.
The second portion of his talk
was devoted to foreign policy.
He said this country has none.
If communism is a threat to
this nation, the state department
should say so in unmistakable
fashion, and in this case the
United States should stop send
ing goods to Russia and her sat
ellites which enable them to con
solidate the gains which they
have made, he declared.
But if there is, in fact, no
"cold war," the senator believes,
the nation should start trading
freely and without prejudice
with the communist countries.
Senator Malone predicted that
the United States will recognize
the government of red China
soon, and cited such action as an
example of the two-facedness of
the present policies. He told how
European nations, in his opin
ion, are serving as "middlemen
and processors" for goods pro
duced in this country, and which
eventually wind up in Russia.
Returning to his main thesis
of trade protection, Malone said
that it is simply an honest at
tempt to face the facts of eco
nomic life in this country and
the world.
It is of first importance, he
said, and is gaining recognition
as such.
"By September, there will be
no other comparable issue in the
congress of the United States,"
Senator Malone concluded.

Churchill Proposes
'Another Session'
With Josef Stalin
Atomic Bomb Would
Be Subject Of Talk
Edinburgh. Scotland. Feb. 14
iU.R) Winston Churchill propos
ed tonight "another talk" with
Soviet Premier Josef Stalin
about the atom bomb.
Speaking on foreign affairs at
his last scheduled big political
rally before the February 23
general election, Churchill re
called his earlier relations as
prime minister with Stalin and
his war-time colleagues and said:
Mill, I cannot help coming
back to this idea of another talk
with Soviet Russia upon the
highest level.
Idea Appeals
The idea appeals to me of a
supreme effort to bridge the
gulf between the two worlds, so
that each can live their life, if
not in friendship, at least with
out the hatred of the cold war."
Churchill bitterlv criticized
the labor government for havintr
failed to make the atom bomb
itself. He said it was "one of the
most extraordinary administra
tive lapses that have ever taken
place."
The Soviet world has by far
the greatest military force in the
world, the conservative party
leader said, but the United States
has the atom bomb.
And now, we are told, they
have a thousand fold more ter
rible manifestation of this awful
power."
Guarantee Of Peace
Although he did not elabor
ate, it was presumed Churchill
was referring to the hydrogen
bomb. However, the United
States has not claimed it has
produced an H-bomb yet. Pres
ident Truman merely has author
ized the development of such a
weapon, . ,
"When all is said and done,"
Churchill said, "it is my belief
that the superiority of the atom
bomb, if not indeed almost the
monopoly of this frightful
weapon, in American hands is
the surest guarantee of world
peace tonight."

Brownout Warnings
Issued In Chicago
As Coal Dwindles
565,000 Men Idle In
Major Labor Disputes
Washington, Feb. 14 (U.R)
President Truman today re
convened his coal fact-finding
board to help in new negotia
tions between the soft coal op
erators and John L. Lewis.
Chicago, Feb. 14 (U.R)
Brownout warnings were issued
for Chicago, as its coal supply
dwindled today because of the
United Mine Workers strike and
the nation counted more than
565,000 men idle in major labor
disputes.
An official of the CIO Com
munications Workers of America
warned that a February 24 dead
line was "not so far away" for a
strike against the Bell system
telephone companies. This strike
could idle 420,000 workers. The
CWA reported "no progress" in
its contract talks, although the
union at government request
postponed its strike deadline
from February 8 to February 24.
Order Defied
In the soft coal strike, cutting
into rail transportatoin and coal
consuming industries, 400,000
members of John L. Lewis' Unit
ed Mine Workers staying at
home in defiance of the govern
ment and back-to-work orders
from Lewis, the nation's coal
stockpile was reduced to an 11
day supply.
At Washington, a high justice
department official said the gov
ernment was looking to the re
sumption of contract talks be
tween Lewis and the soft coal
operators to persuade the miners
to get nacit to tneir joos.
There were no prospects of set
tlement of the CIO United Auto
Workers strike against Chrysler
Motor corporation, a walkout
which idled 125,000 either di
rectly or because of its effects.
26 Day Coal Supply
In Chicago, officials of the
Commonwealth Edison company,
principal power supplier, said
they had a 26-day supply on hand
but that their stockpiles were
the lowest in four years. They
said that it might be necessary
to order a brownout at some time
in the future.
The atomic city of Oak Ridge,
Term., was going through its

Clackamas Farmers
Oppose Change To DST
Salem, Ore., Feb. 14 tU.R)
The Salem city council at Iti
meeting Monday night heard a
protest from the Clackamas
Ccunty Farmers union against
daylight saving time.
No action was taken at this
time. But Alderman Howard
Maple smilingly suggested that
the letter be turned over to Al
derman Albert Gille. sponsor of
last year's daylight saving bill,
for a study of the dairying in
dustry. The letter from the Clackamas
farmer group cited the import
ance of the Oregon dairy indus
try and the difficulty of ad
justing dairy cows to the tun
changes.
