" '['he tariff will he strenuously injected into the coming Presidential Campaign." This ultimatum issued by leading Wash­ington papers hrings a new and perhaps unfamiliar nOie into an III ready full plat­form. While tariff is not vital to the politil.--al life of OUI" nation. it is of supremc importance in the economic life of its people. This significance has been augmented during the la~t year hy inter­national complications.

Our highly protective tariff has heen a ioremost is~ue at every international g-athering. .\rgemina, hecau..e of our out ragl..'ous lax on her frozen heef com­plain('(1 in the Pan-.\merkan Congress and se..:ured a decree for the immediate investigation of the situation. Switzcr­land and Sweden have prohihited Ameri­,'an lariff "experts" from spying on their hooks and trade secrets. \Vhen the Inter· national Chamher of Commerce. a hod~ made up of the foremost business men of all the nations. met at Stockholm they decreed. "The conference dedares that the time has come to put an end to in­crease in tariffs and mo,'e in the opposite direction." .\t the Economic Conference at Gene\'a in :'Ila)" the tariff question was a leading suhject . A United States of Europl! was suggested as the only effi­('aciOliS remedy for the high protecti\'e tariff of the L"nited States of America. It may he both defensive and offensi,·e. Our "tariff tiff with France" looms dark II IXln the horizon. Because of our exces­~ive dnty on her principle exports, her Minister has inaul;:"lIrated a retaliatory tar iff on American goods. Countless times he 1"l:IS tried to devise for the United States. as he did witl\ Germam' and England. a :-atisfactory set of tariffs but he could not sm.:ceed. Impoverished France owes a great war deht to the United States amI in order to bu)' goods when she cannot selt her products, she must borrow more money. Their re­sources arc low and in order to pre\'ent complete bankmptcy they a rc rai:.il1g the tariff on ;\meriC";ln goods from four to six times the present rates. 13y this means we will be the loser by from $60.­O()(l(OO to $80.(00,000 annually.

Ina~ml1(:h as tariff is of such great economi~' importance to us as a member of the family of nations. let us form our own conclusions this evening, based on a contrast of Protectionism with Free Trade.

We find in Webster that Protection­ism is the doctrine 111.1t certain home in­dustries and products should be encour­aged h~' the imlXlSition of duties on foreigll imports and that Free Trade means trade with other countries unre­stricted hy tariff or customs duties.

Spon:;ors of the protection theory <le­dare that a high tariff increast:s our forei~n trade: free traders assert the npP(bite. I f we set lip factories for the n1.1nuiaet\lre of a product on the condi­lion of a tariff high enough to keel' out foreign c{)mp('tition. we may he ahle to ~uppl)" the demand within the country il-.eli. hut the pric-e beillgexcessh·e. it will not be profitahle to eXjXlrt the goods to foreign countries where the product can he made cheaper. This Cllts off our im­porh and our exports as well n~ a result of the di~lncation of the industry. Thus we destro~' the necessary halance hetween inlpOrts and eXj)()rts for although we Cllt off Ihe imp(lrts it docs not increase Ollr exporTS. Therefore tariff rei<ults in a de.:rease of foreign tracle and the accom­panying dblocalion of indu~try.

This protection doctrine has another lmrmful effect. namely, to aronse foreign amllgonism. Tariff hnilds a wan about the Luited States to keep Out foreign prodm·b. at the -;arne time exporting lh much goods as we can. Foreign countries must Imy from us hut they cannot sell 10 liS. Tht"feupon. ari~es an antagonism \'ery 1I!l1lermining in its effect on our I.'ountn·. This ~ituation is well illustrated hy France ..... itll her retaliatory tariff and ('onti1lenlal Europe with its ~l!ggested deien~e IInion. Therefore protectioni"lll increase.~ not (oreig-n trade hut foreign :wimosity.

.\nother ar~,'l.!ment is the Variegated Inelll'try (hll:trine. Tariff is not a ncces­....1r~ factor 111 it however. \Vhere natural resource~ ahound. indu~tries

'pring- lip n .. '1turally without protection. In the L"nited State~ with its various dimales. {lifferent soils. sel'eral altitudes, manifold l1atllntl re,;Ources. and an ahundance of trained and efficiem work­men. no amollilt of protei:ti\'c tarilT could makt: dislocated industries profitable. To u,;e an extreme example. how profitable would a ('otton plantation in ),faine be?

The farm question is also another <;ource of discussion .. \t fir~t. tariff was considerctl a~ aiding the farmer hy givin]! Ifilll a nearhy market for his produce. Thi~ argument is now ohsolete because the revolutioni7.ed methods of transporta­ti(\ll have lessened the iml)()rtance of dis­lance a~ a factor. Xow, when a bil1 pro­\'iding tariff for the farmer comes up in Congress. it is promptly rejected. The ohjections raised are identical with those a~ainst tariff for manufacturers. but ina .. -much as the fanner i~ not ,;(1 poweriul as Ihe manufal"lurer, he mill' not he aidc<! h.\" e,en the little thm a tariff might do lor him. .\s a result of the complete rejection nf Ihe )'lcXary-1 lang-en Bill, the famler i~ l/C'..;inning to reali?'e ImLt l'oml,ined effort akme can help him in his ~taLLd ior e(IUality with the LLlallufacturer.

The infant industry ar~'1.Llllellt. Ihe

Page Ele\'en

TARIFF theory that new industries need govern­mental aid in order to compete with in­dustries of long standing. is the soundest argnment for prt1tection. Tariff d\Lring the a~ricull\lral period of a country would he pure foll~'; tariff in the fully developed industrial stage would be just as inane. The only period in which tariff would he at all defensihle is in the transition period. Bllt in the t;nit('(l State that period in industry has passed. E.'1ch decade brings !ho~e infant inclll~tries to full manuity. \t present. these so-called "infant" indus­tries. hy the process of dumping. export goods abroad anrl undersell foreign manu­factlLrer~ in their own countries. Again. although theoretical protectionisB call for a high tariff to estahlish new industries here. practical \rnerican financiers seek forei.l::n field~ in which to invest their surplus. Thill- infant industry argumelll has pa~sed its useful stag-e and must go into the discanl.

Today, the mo~t potent argument for prOleo.:tion is the wage argument, the helief that tariff eb-ates the price of ::-oods to pay ior the elclated scale of ,\merican worker~. In the first place. the 1llanufacnLrer~ who advanced this argu­ment were in~incere desiring as they do not high wag-cs for their employees hut large profits tor themseh·es. I f high wages enable a company to ha.\'e more efficient workman!'hip. then it is pure hn~iness economy for the mmmfacturer to pay high wages 10 hi~ worker~. This eliminates the importance of tariff in the wag-e 1uestion. In the next place, un­hir.~ed students of the lahor question point Ollt that high waj.!"e" are due. not to the tarilT. hilt to the greater productivity of the workmen. Statistic~ compiled by Bernhardt Kno\tenherg show that an .\merican worker is ahle to mine three time~ ai much co.11 as a foreign workman in a forei!;,'ll country in the same length of time. Lahor is paid more or less on the piece work hasi~. therefore American workmen with their greater productivity earns higher wal:"es than the handicallped foreigner.

Tariff does l10t ]!ive higher wages, btlt it does encle..wor to remove any profil ,!:"ainecl hy the worker .. \ high tariff, as exish on iron. l'aU$el; a raise in price of the finished iron product. The laboring mall who huys the goods pays for the tarilT many times o\·(!r. This leaves him lillIe farther ahead in the long run than hi~ foreign hrother who recei\'es lower wage~.

Through this lIi,,<"us~ion of the argu­ment:. betwetll Free Trade and Protec­liuni~m we nlaY l'<lnciude that protection­i,m dislocates natllral industry, destroys the 1~1lance of trade in a nation. aronses foreign allfag-(lni,m. is unnecessary for the \'ariagation of illdu~try. opposes the brmer's Ilee<k i~ elimin .. 1ted from the
