THE AUTOMOBILE TARIFF

It is now said that, though some of the largest manufacturers of automobiles are strongly in favor of the removal of all duties on foreign cars.

nhM that there are ethers who are opposed to

this policy. The announcement that all Of them were prepared to accept the new policy la now said to have been “premature." However, it is said that, if there can not be unanimity on this subject, those who will speak for the industry before the ways and means committee will probably aak for a reduction of duties That will be a sufficiently remarkable spectacle. Even those who are unwilling to see all duties repealed are prepared

to consent to their reduction.

The free trade policy in automobiles originated with the foreign

itttee of the national orof the industry, and was

Icy has been neither approved nor disapproved by individual manufacturers. With some of them favoring the repeal of duties and others asking for their reduction, there certainly will be no excuse or justifica-

tion for an inersase.

Selling cars all over the world, American manufacturers can hardly help having a world vision. They are much more fearful of losing, or failing to win, foreign markets, than of competition in the home market. There must be a great extension of trade if the industry is to thrive.

equal to that before the war. The railroads have been restored so that they are regarded as on a pre-war basis of operation. Before the price-cutting wave from America struck Belgium, the textile industry was thriving. There is less Bolshevism and less labor trouble in Belgium than in any of the allied countries in Europe, and the government seems to be able to retire the 6.000,000,000 German marks forced upon the country by the aid

of an agreement with Germany to Ingoneofthe put up German republic bonds as col-1 it must’bek

It Is evident that the fear that Belgium would become a dependent nation, ruined and disheartened by war and constantly in need'of alms from the stronger powers, was unfounded. The Belgians apparently faced their difficult work with resolute courage. Whatever the reason, they have *mpl abundantly justified the course of the allies in making the Invasion of Belgium one of the main issues in the war. The country is today rated as among the three strongest, in proportion to its resources, of the countries

juld seem, a rather primitive method of handling a problem which has become serious, largely because existing agencies for protection have failed In their duty. A riot gun is a poor substitute for conscientious and fearless peace officers, informed as to their duty In protecting lives and

The need is for police adequately equipped to cope with thieves who range about over a large territory, and trained to deal with them in their own element. Other means having failed, it would seem that a state force might solve the problem- Certainly it should be tried if the only alternative is reversion to the system under which citisens are obliged to defend their property, as if the country were occupied by an invading

army.

DOUBTFUL DANCING

Advising the young people that some forms of dancing are detrimental to good morals Is not likely to accomplish the reform sought. Telling the

laws. | people that a theatrical attraction is

bad morally usually means that the

BELGIUM'S RECOVERY

Throughout the early part of the war, Germany's treatment of Belgians was one of the strongest factors in brin ing the allies together in opposition to the German advances. The invasion of Belgium in defiance of treaty obli gallons gave them something definite to fight for. It was agreed by all that no allied victory would deserve the name unless it provided for the evacuation of Belgium and repar lions looking toward the rehabilitation of the country. Belgium became the ward of the allied and neutral world. A third of its factories were destroyed, its transportation System suffered the loss of l.*00 miles of railroads, M00 bridges, COO kilometers of can ala 00,000 railroad cars and

2,500 locomotives.

The tax law is beginning to sit up and wonder if nothing ailed It, after

The scientist who predicts another ice age, may merely be trying to throw a scare into the ice dealem.* The cabinet material is pretty well in hand. It is now only a matter of fitting %be pegs in the holes. — Mr. Harding. “Fitting them in," eh? That sounds good. Maybe Mr. Harding is not going ’to follow the well-established practice of putting the rcund ones in the square ones. With dltorce proceedings going on and an available lady that he expects to marry as soon as — or if — he gets a decree, D'Annunzio must have an awful hard time keeping his mind on a mere revolt against the Italian government. A good many taxpayers will no doubt agree that If the taxing officials had been as good as the tax law there would have been much less litigation and even much less dissatisfaction.

As the situation becomes more precarious D’Annunzio finds that dying for one’s principles isn’t merely so exhilarating as talking about doing so.

"A singing nation," R. G. McClure told the music teachers’ meeting at Chicago, "is a contented nation." Germany, ns It will be readily recalled. was — and may still be — a singing nation. Fortunately no statistician has ever tried to figure how far those long black cigars featured by Uncle Joe Cannon would reach if placed end to end. Dots of the cabinet timber no doubt has developed too rapidly to be made into the substantial posts Harding desires.

The news from Marion goes a long way toward destroying the growing belief that the new cabinet will appoint itself. The No-Tobacco League will probably argue that Uncle Joe Cannon might have been in congress longer than forty-three years if he had not smoked so many cigars.

We have seldom asked an applicant for employmerrt whether or not he belonged to a union because so long as he was able and willing to do the work for which he applied without interfering with the work of the man next to him, we were not Interested. But about a year ago a misguided representative of union labor undertook to force upon us a closed union shop and proceeded by *'plantlng” in our organization through the needs of our employment office a group of imported workmen who came into the factory for no other purpose but to agitate for the union and a closed shop. In the course of a short time we were presented with an “agreement” by a business agent which, among other conditions, stipulated “Article 3. The party of the first part agrees to employ none but members of local No. 335, or those who express their willingness to become members of said local.” Not being willing to agree, especially when the document was
