It will strike a good many people that this is an unconscionably late discovery, but the wonder is that the Tribune ever made it at all. For only an almost incurable case of jour nalistic strabismus could have pre vented our contemporary from seeing what nearly every leading economist and statesman of the world saw so plainly nearly five years ago when a protectionist congress passed the Ilawley-Smoot tariff law that it was "the extremest application cf the policy of protection, ever exacted by a great commercial country" and that it would inevitably initiate' the state of economic war throughout the world which has been one of the most potent factors in wrecking the trade and credit structure cf two con tinents. Indeed, so apparent even in that period cf complacent and opulent ma terialism were the "excesses" of the Hawley - Smoot abomination that some cf the foreign ambassadors ac tually went to the lc.-gth cf con demning it openly while it was being debated in congress a wholly un precedented course and within a few months of its enactment 4 5 na tions had raised their tariffs in di rect reprisal. Put such was the implicit confi dence of both republican rtatesmen and republican editorialists in the Ocoiulgi-Iloover claim cf sole repub lican guardianship of an unfailing horn of plenty that they couldn't tee that they were entering upon a course of economic "excesses" which would r.lake the whole world "go limping along" for at least a gener ation cr two. It has taken four years of un exampled economic distress and dis illusionment to shako their faith in the medieval protectionist policy of expanding American trade by strang ling the trade of our best customers. We cannot but thir.I: that it is mighty lucky that the pecple have forgotten to laugh at the ineptitude of the county's most prc-tcr.ticus guides, as otherwise these republican protec tionist statesmen and editorialists would be close runr.crs-up for the comic strips in the national horse laugh marathon. Fortunately the present govern ment at Washington is heavily and irreversibly committed to the lower ing of the existing hindrances to the exchange of good.s throughout the world. We believe the world, cr the Am erican part of it at least, is on the verge of a new dawn. Certain it is that a fresh wind is blowing across the minds of statesmen ar.d peoples. Challenged by a new world situation, their economic outlook is being broadened and clrrified, and this spells the doom cf the post-war tariff "excesses" by which we sought to Log prosperity for the United States, unmindful of our boligations to tho ivst of the world, the most of which owes U3 colossal sums of money which cannot Detroit News. otherwise be paid. -:o:- WILL BUY 600 HGGS A DAY Omaha.

The schedule was effective Tuesday. The hogs will be bought at the rate cf 150 a day by the Cudahy plant, 100 a day by the Dold plant and 250 a day, starting Thursday, by the Swift plant. PICKETING IS ItECCGNIZED Cleveland. An economic weapon heretofore recognized, as belonging principally to labor unions now is re- sognized by common pleas Judge George B. Harris as being a right of a trade association, in a case in volving the national industrial re covery act. Judge Harris upheld the right of a trade association to picket in a peaceful manner a firm which has cut prices below those set by the "proper code authority." AIRMAIL PLANE DAMAGED Charlotte, N. C.
