TRADE COMPETITION
AND SELF-INTEREST
(National Republican.)
However much the theorist argues
that international trade is beneficial
to all countries alike, the fact remains
that it is now economic competition of
the most severe type. The school of
free traders, beginning with Adam
Smith, contends that each country
should confine itself to the production
or manufacture of only those articles
for which by climate or environment
’ is is most fitted, exchanging those
products or manufactures for articles
it can not produce or make. This re
sults in international trade, it is said,
in which both sides gain, peacefully
and harmoniously, without competi
tion.
Unfortunately, as if to dispute this
theory, many nations have developed
along parallel lines, producing and
manufacturing similar products. In
the process of time international trade
in many instances has developed into
international competition.
Great Britain manufactures many
articles similar to articles manu
factured in the United States. The
same thing happens as between
Canada or Japan and the United
States. Many countries of South
America and Europe grow certain
articles similar to articles grown in
the United States. The currents of
peaceful international exchange of
goods becomes whirlpools of competi
tion, involving raw materials, wages
and markets.
Internationalists who believe the
United States should emerge from its
“isolation,” so-called, and plunge into
the unchecked torrent of world free
trade, forget that the old theories have
been swept away and international
■< free trade or peaceful exchange has
given way to a competition severe and
heartless,
Tt is perfectly natural, when weigh
H in the scales of business, for Great
Britain or any other nation to do
everything in its power to widen the
markets for its goods and to capture
these markets at all hazards. On the
part Of (he British people, the object
of the imperial preferential tariff (now
in operation between Great Britain and
her colonies) is to look after British
' interests, regardless of what happens
to other countries.
The United States must realize that
in Great Britain, in France, in Italy,
in Japan, every move to promote the
trade and commerce of those countries
is promoted by business. It is neither
love nor hate of America, but devotion
to the material interest of their re
spective countries that prompts these
governments to discriminate against
the United States in many ways not
found on the statute books.
- If the United States expects to
maintain itself in this international
trade and commerce, it must pursue
precisely the same policy, regardless
of what happens to other countries.
It seems to have escaped the observa
tion of many of the theoretical in
ternationalists that every commercial
nation is endeavoring to get the best
of the United States in trade. This is
what Great Britain is doing; and why
not? Great Britain looks upon the
United States as its chief competitor
in the economic world. In the recent

•ctmomic conference in I/ondoft the
only nation mention^ rSpeatedly was
the United States; the keynote was
how to promote English commerce and
welfare, regardless of the consequences
to other nations.
It must be quite clear to keen and
patriotic observers that the United
States is to be the target of other
countries, especially Great Britain.
British statesmen can not be blamed
for this; American statesmen should
be on the defensive and protect
America with equal zeal.
If the United States is to retain any
considerable portion of the world’s
trade and commerce gained during the
world war, it must protect itself ade
quately against foreign inroads into
our home markets with competitive
goods. An exchange of American
manufactured goods for similav Brit
ish manufactured goods is us jess and
unprofitable; but a fight ir. the mar
kets of South America oi Far East
between American goods and similar
froods is intense competition; and the
owest price, with quality secondary,
gets the order.
The very first step in meeting such
competition is the protection of our
home markets so that our capital and
labor may be employed and supply the
home market first. The second step is
to make quality more important than
price in the world’s markets. This
Third step is to free oftrselves from
all shackles that prevent us from look
ing after the interests of the United
States by retaliating against any sort
of discrimination against the United
States in the commerce of the world.
CONGRESSMAN SIMMONS
ON THE “MELLON PLAN"
Washington D. C., Jan. 12, 1924
Tax reduction is conceded, by every
one in Congress to be a paramount
necessity. No one disputes its feasi
bility or advisability. The question
now being discussed at both ends of
the Capitol building is how to reduce ?
Secretary Mellon surprised the
country, by his announcement of a
$325,000,000 surplus, after, in 1922
estimating a deficit of $650,000,000.
The fact that taxes could be re
duced caused a general feeling of
elation, and an instant approval of his
plan. The President in his message
gave the “Mellon plan” his “unquali
fied approval”, and asked for non
partisan consideration of it. That the
Mellon plan has had the backing of a
well financed and well executed prop
aganda cannot be questioned. The
financial journals of the country and
the great metropolitan dailies all be
gan simultaneously to give their sup
port, as did also big business inter
ests of the east. A visit to most any
office in either the House or Senate
office buildings, and an anaylsis of a
days mail with its almost identical
argument for the “Mellon plan” will
show the result of this effort. But it
has been overworked, so that even the
ardent supporters of the plan are be
ginning to feel a resentment of the
efforts of a small group of interested
parties to “sell it” to the country and
Congress.
To most people the Mellon plan is
simple and short. As a matter of fact
the “Mellon Bill” to reduce taxation,
now on my desk, is a book of 344 pages
and contains about 70,000 words. It
was published on the 28th of December,
and since that time most members
have barely had time to read it, let
alone digest its provisions. And yet
many people, even before the bill was
printed, /were wjriting Congressmen
and Senators, asking its qualified ap
proval and passage. My belief is
that the instantaneous approval of the
idea was not of the “Mellon plan”
but of tax reduction, without regard to
a specific plan.
The hope that tax reduction could
receive non-partisan consideration was
dissipated by the Democratic caucus
offering the Garner plan, followed by
the President’s disapproval of it. The
Garner plan reduces the tax on small
incomes more than the “Mellon plan”.
A third plan offered by Represent
atives Frear of Wisconsin, cuts the
normal tax on all incomes one half
and leaves the sur-tax just as it is
now.
As things stand now no one expects
the “Mellon plan” to be adopted, as
offered. The Ways and Means Com
mittee have already made between
thirty and forty changes in it. The
bill finally adopted will be a comprom
ise measure. Fortunately, before
final action is taken, the country will
have .an opportunity to give a "sec
ond thought” to the whole matter
and a truer sounding of the sentiments
of the people can be had.
In considering these plans ft should
be remembered that the tax reduction
proposed here cannot become operatise
until 1925, and that it will not reduce
the amount of personal and real taxes
paid the County Treasurers in the
state, since no part of that money goes
to the support of the fedral gover
ment, and Congress has no authority
to change those levies.

Rest Cure
By CLARA DELAFIELD
(©, 1923, Western Newspaper Union.)
■pLLEN FARGIS sat In the large
chair with hands folded In her
lap. For three weeks she had sat thus,
hardly moving and never speaking,
ever since the accident to the kitchen
stove.
She seemed to recognize the mem
bers of her family, and to be grateful
for little attentions, hut for the most
part her mind was a complete blank.
The only person who seemed momen
tarily to rouse her out of her lethargy
was her old friend and neighbor,
Helena Smith.
Would she recover? With care and
complete rest, the doctor thought. Her
mind had become temporarily un
hinged, owing to the shock of the ac
cident. It was only a small gas ex
plosion, and she had only suffered a
few slight burns, but then she had
been In a run-down condition, he ex
plained.
Run down? Ellen Fargls , had
looked after her husband and family
of four for sixteen years, and, though
they were now grown up, they needed
Just ns much looking after—more. If
anything.
blie Had cooked for them, scrubbed
for them, slaved for them from earliest
dawn until the latest hour at night.
Now things were going very hard In
the Fargis home. In the first place,
Mary had to give up her position and
stay home to take care of her mother,
who was as helpless as a baby. Then
they had to get a cook.
Fortunately Jim Fargis was well
fixed, financially. It wasn’t the money
ho begrudged: It was the thought of his
wife sitting there helpless day aftei
day. she who had been so busy from
morn till night, so happy with her
home to take care of.
Yes. it was a great shock to them
all. They had tried all sorts of reme
dies. They had tried hypnotism to
recall that wandering mind. But El
len Fnrgis couldn’t be hypnotized.
They had tried countershocks. They
had shouted in her ea# that the end
cf the world had come, and that the
pudding had boiled over, but Ellen
Fargis had just sat like a stone.
Mary, who believed In later meth
ods- JiadL religiously repented m her
{3o!beNve?rivgmflgi-tT5a5 by day in
t £1)1 respects I am becoming better and
;• better." But Ellen Fargls had con
; j tinued day by day to 3lt Just like a
i stone.
“Poor thing, she’s worn out with
taking care of all of you,’’ said Helena
Smith. “You’ve got a jewel of a wife;
Jim, and if ever she does get well you
must use her carefully."
“I will,” answered Jim Fargis, al
most sobbing. “Oh, Ellen, don’t you
know me?”
Ellen Fargis Just sat like a stone.
“Mother,” said Mary, “day by dny
in all respects you are getting better
and better.”
Ellen Fargls smiled thoughtfully at
a fly that had settled on the ceiling.
“You run out for the afternoon,
Mary,” said Helena Smith. “I’ll sit
with your mother for a while. She
seems to know me. You know me,
Ellen, don’t you?”
Ellen Fargis just sat like a stone.
Mary, who was glad of the relaxa
tion, went out, leaving Helena Smith
In charge of her mother and the house
hold. Mary made Ellen comfortable
In her chair and put a child’s picture
book in her hands. Ellen seemed to
like looking at the pictures. She
would turn the pages listlessly for
hours together. Leaving her there,
Helena set about preparing the dinner.
She put the vegetables on to boil, set
the pie in the oven, and was just com
pleting her work when she heard El
len’s footsteps in the hall. A moment
later Ellen stood at the kitchen door.
And suddenly Ellen seemed to shake
off her lethargy. Frowning, she went
around the kitchen, taking down a pot
here and hanging It up there. She
filled up the sugar bowl, she inspected
the Interior of the refrigerator, she
opened the oven and looked at the pie.
And then, satisfied at last, she went
back to her chfiir in the living-room,
and sat there in apathy with folded
hands.
Helena followed her In astonishment
and stood looking%at her. Suddenlj
she sprang to her side.
"Ellen, you—you’re faking!"
Ellen Fargis looked up and nodded.
"They wore me out among them, my
dear,” she said. “I always felt how
heavenly it would be sitting still and
doing nothing.”
“Oh, Ellen!” Helena was crying.
“Poor Jim I How long are you going
to keep it up, Ellen?”
“Just a few days longer, Helena.
I’ve had the time of my life, and now
I’m beginning to get as hungry for my
housework as a war-horse hearing the
trumpet."

Recent correspondence jfrom Levi
J. Trullinger advises us that he is now

county—the blizzard of the 12 of Jan

and property of any blizzard that ever
swept the plains of Nebraska. The
unusual high wind generating electric
ity was a sensational element of the
“big blizzard”. Flashes of light
could be noticed at the windows.
Only those that were in that storm
can describe what it is to be in a real
Nebraska blizzard and we “old boys”
will not forget the experience.
