‘TARIFF LAW A VAST MISTAKE,' SAYS EDWARDS Former Earlham President Blasts Hawley-Smoot Bill Folly. "The Hawley-Smoot tariff law was a vast mistake. It has not helped the American farmer. It has not help the manufacturer—except in isolated instances. It has decidedly injured our commercial relations with other countries." Thus does David M. Edwards, secretary of the Indiana Council on

international Relations, former president of Earlham college, Richmond, sum up less than one year's operation of the tariff wall the United States erected in June, 1930. While Indianapolis manufacturers and business men cite the damaging effects the Haw-ley-Smoot tariff has had on Indianapolis pay rolls,

Edward*

Dr. Edwards, a student of international affairs, views the new law as "a declaration of economic war upon the whole world," spurring harmful retaliations. 20 Billions in Loans “The value of the commodities exchanged by the nations of the earth is annually about $35,000,000,000," commented Dr. Edwards today. "Os this, the United States supplies about 15 per cent of the total exports and 12 per cent of the imports. “The value of the loans made by citizens of the United States to foreign countries is estimated at $20,000,000,000. “About 8 per cent of the total domestic production of the United States is exported; but small as is this proportion, it determines the value of the total product. "Then, too the United States is dependent upon imports for many of her industries. The purchase of these imports is, at least in part, provided for by exports. These simple facts will show at a glance how important any tariff law may become in its influence upon these factors in the relation of the United States to those countries with which she trades. Thirty Countries Protested "Asa harbinger of what was to follow, thirty countries protested concerning 200 articles during the time the Hawley-Smoot tariff bill was under consideration in con-

gress. Immediately following its passage, advances in tariff rates were made by Canada. Cuba, Mexico, France, Italy, Spain, Australia and New Zealand. “The Hawley-Smoot tariff law has been used as an argument for a general European customs union, which would place Europe, as a unit, in a better position to bargain with the United States in the matter of concessions. "A map of the world showing by colors the action of countries occasioned by the Hawley-Smoot tariff law leaves one with no doubt concerning its injury to the commercial and financial relations of the United States to the west of the world. "To encourage foreign trade is the most important item of our economic life and this tariff utterly has failed to do that. There is no offset to this failure, unless to help congressmen build their political fences stronger and higher by placing some product manufactured by their constituents upon the tariff list or increasing the rate on some product already upon that list, can be said to be one. "The Hawley-Smoot tariff law is

Virgil King Is Arrested. Because he neglected to get a haircut, Virgil King is facing a possible jail sentence, it was disclosed when he appeared in criminal court to answer robbery and petit larceny charges. King failed to visit his barber, and thereby throw off his jail disguise when released recently after serving a sixty-day sentence. Police officers recognised him easily by his long hair and two days after his release arrested him again. King was ordered to provide $3.000 bond after pleading guilty to stealing SB, before Special Judge Earl Cox.
