BRITAIN'S TARIFF DEBATE
The British Imperial Conference
has flatly rejected the plan advane-
ed by press lords. Beaverbrook and that the military temper predomin
Rothermere. for the establishment of ate? more generally in Europe at the
tree trade within the Empire and the
erecting of high tariffs against the
rest of the world.
This plan, although it has attract
ed a large popular following, has
been consistently opposed by the
Government and has failed to receive
the official indorsement of the Con
servatives. Premier Bennett, speak
ing before the conference, gave it its
death blow. The dominions, he made
clear, desire to stimulate their own
industries and will never consent to
freedom of competition within the
Empire.
Mr. Bennett advanced as an alter
native the proposal that each cf the
members of the British common
wealth advance its tariff by 10 per
cent against other nations, while ex
tending further trade preferences to
one another. The dominions lined
up solidly behind this proposal. Their
position really amounts to a demand
that Great Britain abandon her his
toric free trade policy and build a
tariff wall against the world. If they
are to give preference to British
manufacturers in their markets, they
say. Britain must reserve her market
to dominion food and raw materials.
Stanley Baldwin, for the Conserva
tives, has approached their plan. La
bor, on the other hand, has indicated
its willingness to join the issue. La
bor will not consent to a tax on focd
which the British housewife must
buy.
"Nothing would please me more,"
said Prime Minister MacDonald
"than for Mr. Baldwin to go to the
country asking for the power to im
pose double duties on wheat and also
to tax our imports of raw material."
And again he said. "We cannot
cure the ills of this generation with
the quack remedies of two genera
tions ago. We want co-operation in
the world, not separation, and we
know we cannot get it by adding
to tariff walls. The use of political
boundaries for economic purposes
must be stopped."
The situation promises a sharp di
vision on the tariff issue in the com
ing elections, with the Liberals and
Labor opposing the Conservative
move toward protection. Labor, how
ever, is willing to make concessions
to the dominion demands. The Gov
ernment has presented to the con
ference for consideration a third
plan for increasing the economic
unity of the Empire. This proposal
calls for the creation of state pur
chasing boards which would be given
a monopoly of the business of import
ing wheat and perhaps wool, cotton,
meat and certain raw materials.
Quotas would be fixed for the purpose
of increasing the sale of dominion
products in Great Britain. These im
ports would not be taxed. Goods
would be purchased at the world
price and resold in England with
outincreasing the cost of living. But
a growing proportion of these pur
chases would be made within the Em
pire. Thus it is hoped to procure
i economic integration without bur
dening the English consumer. This
proposal, of course, calls for the in
troduction of state socialism into the
importing business. Like the other
plans, it involves deliberate inter
ference with the freedom of trade.
It sets up an agency which would al
most inevitably be moved by the pres
sure of various producing groups in
the direction of artificial fixation of
commodity prices. Although entirely
consistent with the socialistic pro
gram of the Labor party, it raises ser
ious questions for the future. At the
moment it does not appear that the
Imperial Conference will lead to any
definite immediate action.
The whole temper of the proceed
ings, however, reveals an overwhelm
ing sentiment for increasing the eco
nomic unity of the Empire. What
ever the ultimate outcome, the pres
ent tendency is to exclude the Amer
ican producer from British ma.rkets.
:o:
A fashion editor in one of the cur
rent magazines says the new Paris
fashions "are delightful from the ar
tistic standpoint, but they will prob
ably prove more difficult to wear."
That's all right, sister. The more dif
ficult they are the better wt like
them, even if they become so difficult
that the women won't wear 'em at
all.
:o:
The deliberations of the British
Imperial Conference at London are
being held in secret but it is under
stood that the MacDonald govern
ment has definitely rejected a prop
osition to combine Great Britain with
the dominions overseas in a kind of
tariff union.
:c
Don't cuss the weatherman ! His
prophecies have made you think and
no matter wind, rain, sleet or shine
you will find blessings in every one
of them if you will but reason it out.
WEY WE HAVE PEACE
Travelers who are competent to
discern conditions are of the opinion
present time than it did four years
prior to the World war. David Lloyd
George, the British statesman, criti
cizes the different governments and
nations for setting up trade barriers
against one another and displaying
mistrust and animosity. One Amer
ican observer concludes that war
might occur at any moment, and,
when it does, the political situation
in Europe will change completely,
with new powers and new masters.
Now a Belgian senator, Louis de
Brouckere, who is president of the
Aviation Commission at Geneva, tes
tifies in a criminal case in Brussels
that he is convinced that Mussolini
is preparing to seize territory in and
on both sides of Albania. He is a wit
ness for Fernando de Rosa, who is ac
cused of attempting to assassinate
Prince Humbert of Piedmont . Ke
says that he got his idea of Musso
lini's plans for Italian expansion and
aggrandizement while conducting a
disarmament investigation.
If Mussolini wishes to start a war
right now. it is doubtful whether any
strong state in Europe would antag
onize him. Threats would be hurled
at him. There would be petitions to
the League of Nations. But the only
peoples entering the combat would be
those defending their interests.
Since the great war the whole
world has been down, and not only
down, but also out. Neither Britain.
Prance nor Germany would partici
pate in the struggle except through
necessitous compulsion. Russia is the
only country that might go to war,
but only with the purpose of causing
widespread political confusion. Rus
sia, despite all the ballyhooing as to
industrial progress, is not in sound
shape economically, socially or spirit
ually. The rank and file of the people are
in a beligerent mood; however, theirs
is a frenzy of helplessness and dis
tress, and they would prefer prosper
ity in peace to hell in war. They
have experienced, worst of all, the
horrors and grievous consequences.
War would bring worse chaos in
Europe. The wisest statesmen could
not predict what changes might en
sue. The general condition is such
that a bold spirit, like Napoleon,
could shake the foundations of most
governments in Europe. We may be
sure that the leading governments
will not go to war now except to pre
vent a great catastrophe.
:o:
FORTUNES INCREASED
THROUGH GENERATIONS
"Shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves in
three generations" goes an old say
ing. It implies that fortunes accum
ulated by one generation usually are
dissipated by the third generation.
This is not true of American for
tunes. Whatever the ability of Americans
to run their government economically
and to save money there is one thing
in their financial life that is unde
niable their propensity for holding
onto the almighty dollar once it is
within their reach.
All the outstanding great fortunes
amassed by Americans have been in
creased by their heirs, with one ex
ception, that cf the Gould millions.
and in this case it was the fact that
the heirs were so bent on getting all
that was coming to them that the
fortune soon diminished through
legal fights.
The second, third and fourth gen
erations of heirs have built up and
added to most of America s big for-
tunes. John Jacob Astor fortune now
exceeds $150,000,000. Vincent Astor
alone is worth $100,000,000.
