STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF NEBRASKA "A Nebraska InsShilion" SERVICED -ASS TO SEE THE CAPITAL EMIGRATES TO ESCAPE TARIFF Dispatches from Ottawa have paid much attention to American branch factories in Canada. Great Britain is seeking a larger market for her manufactures in the dominions. She encounters competition not only from their industries but from goods made by American producers oper ating through subsidiary organiza tions. The tendency of American indus try to emigrate to foreign countries is particularly evident in Canada, but is not confined to that market. Am erican capital has been ecauirinc .plants strategically situated in all j parts of the world. Its movement in j to foreign countries has been under I'.vay for many years, but on its pres ent scale is a postwar development. In a report mbmitted to congress in 1931. tho department of commerce stated that there were only 131 fac tories in Canada in which American capital was interested before the war and only 97 in Europe. It is esti mated that by the end of 1929 these numbers had been increased to 52 4 and to 433. respectively. At that time tie value of American capital invested in ioreign factories amount ed in the rr-se of Canada to SS13.- 4bS,000 and m the case of Europe to IC2S.S93.000. In addition, there were American investments of $20. 939.000 in, 152 factories in South America and cf SISC.904,000 in 10C establishments in Africa and Asia. The total value of our investment in productive enterprises outride of cur own borders v.?s $1,813,000,000. A large part of this investment was made after 1923. and particularly in 192S r.nd 1929. The reason for this exodus of Am erican industry, apparently resumed on a larger cale in 1931 after slow ing down in 1930, ere readily iTtcn tificd. There has been a desire to tauo advantage of foreign wage scales ana oi proximity to iorc-:gn markets. ab:y of still mrger influence has been provided by po-t-war competition in protective tariffs. As rates on im ported goods went up, through, suc-cc;.-ive readjustments, the pressure on American industrialists to get in ! behind foreign tariff walls and corn- on even terms for foreign mar has steadily increased. The con sequence has been an appreciable re duction in the number of jobs avail able to American labor and in tho amount of American raw amterials used in the production of manufac tured goods. New York Times. :o: The striking farmers in Iowa are picketing the roads and throwing things through truck windshields. This may swell the ranks of the strikers very considerably. Lots of people don't know anything about farm str'kes, but they would like to threw things at truck windshields. :o: Many thousands of people saw the parade at Norfolk Tuesday and every side street for Mocks was packed with cars bearing license numbers from almost every county in the state. 'AHT trouble MB ATLAS GUARANTEE y ; - M II A MESSAGE IT105I DOOEN 1 The morning sunlight niters down through the foliage of the woods at Doom. Close to this benign influ ence, in the quiet of comfortable sur roundings, Wilhelm II. former Em peror of Germany, has gone about his personal business day after day. Wood chopping, strolls through the friendly Dutch village, research in history and natural science and, no doubt, contemplation have helped while away the years. Now, from the pseudo-serenity of such existence, echoes around the world the vigorous utterance: "Only . . ' . v. i 1. 1 1 . : 1: - 1 iiiiusi' iiuru usmuifc iit-s uie way to victory." It was, apaprently, ad dressed to Germany, and formally to the 1C.0C0 or more persons who had gathers 1 on the battlefield of Leuthan to rededicate a monument to victory with arms. Many of those at the ceremony were officers in the old Imperial Army, and there were j detachments from the Steel. Helmets i and ether patriotic organizations. The ex-Kaiser's words arrest the thought. Can they refer to the kind of fighting that from 1914 to 1918 cost the world more than S. 500, 000 human lives? Has the Kaiser still to recognize that such fighting has meant not success but the ultimate of its opposite for his own country, and something far from success for any reaction for any nation that en gaged in it, whether technically vic torious or not? Or does he mean another kind of fighting? Fighting against harmful, oppres sive notions, against fear, suspicion, screed, and against those systems and interests in any country which would sell for their own profit the nation's good name and the lives and morals oi' its citizens this, indeed, is fight ing that must net ceave. History probably will mention the Kaiser as one of the world's wcrst beatcn national leaders. Hi3 own loss, cf course, may seem small to the mothers and fathers of World War soldiers, and to readers of such works as Remarque's "All Quiet on the Western Front" or Sherriff's "Journey's End." No dcubt the poli tical risks he ran were great. But if his experience has been bitter, it has been multiplied millions of times for his subjects. It seems unlikely Kaiser Wilhelm, now aware cf results which few militarists of pre-war days could foresee, would encourage armed con flict as a means of achieving nation al success. But if the message from Doom is meant to invoke a recrudes cence of militarism in Germany, it will hardly receive support from those Germans who have known war as cannon fodder rather than as militaristic theorists. These are more enlightened times. To be sure the world's march Toward peace and security et ill is up the hill of nationalism. The obstacles of high tariffs, of armaments, of aggres- ive imperialisms still clutter the path. But the climb goes on. And the obstacles are being If not re moved at least flattened down 'There Is a "new patriotism" on the horizon, and a new patriot. As Vis- count Cecil has described him, he "desires the greatness and prosper ity cf his country in the largest sense. He desires to see her lead the world in all good ways." Which are the ways wherein the fighting is with oneself that among neigh bors may be peace. :o: : TICK OF TICKER NOT PULSE OF BUSINESS Already spokesmen for the Hoo ver administration are trying to make political medicine out of the stock market flurries. It wouldn't be surprising if, before election day gets here, we shall again be hearing about "a chicken in every pot and two cars in the garage." They never seem to learn, these professional poli ticians. The answer to this kind of campaigning, of course, is this ques tion: "Why, if the politicians can make prosperity at will, have they let tho country suffer for three years, waiting until just before election to make us prosperous again?" With all the money that is pour ing out of Washington, there should be some easing of conditions. Wheth er it will be temporary or perman ent, remains to be seen. Everybody, with Will Rogers, will hope that this stock turnover and manipulations are the forerunner or a lasting re sult. And everybody who has had his bitter lesson will also agree with Mr. Rogers' analysis that: "Now they are all just a-buying and selling among themselves in stocks that haven't shown a cent of increased earning power. Like ev erything that is prearranged, it's be ing kinder overdone. As dumb as we are, we know we can t get prosper ous that quick." We do not believe that anybody except possibly the professional mar ket traders would welcome a return of the kind of business that was called prosperity in 192S and part way through 1929. We ought not again, as Governor Roosevelt puts it. "mistake the tick of the ticker for the pulse of business." Our prob lem today is the restoration of pur chasing power to the CO million on the farms and in small towns, thru the restoration of foreign trade, as well as domestic trade, that our fac tories Khali not run at high speed fcr a short time and then lie month after month with smokeless chim neys. Milwaukee Journal. :0: SUBMISSIVE IOWA FARMER WORM TURNS Those Iowa farmers with their blockade of the cities look foolish and are foolish. But foolishness has great consequences sometimes. The storming of the Bastille, for instance. The farmers of Iowa have been tcmeness and submissiveness itself. Led by their politicins, they have voted their money out of their own pockets into the pockets of smarter folk the tariff getters, for example. They have taken for their crops whatever they were offered. They have paid for their machinery what ever they were asked. No muzhik under the czars was ever more hum bly regular and submissive than the Iowa farmer has been. Now, after 12 years of desperate struggle against adversity, during which he asked for bread and re ceived a succession of stones, he has gone upon the nignways wnicn nis taxes built and swung clubs and felled telephone poles in a wild and foolish exort to do something for him self. It is as amazing as if a sheep had bit a dog. It is a new thing in the world. What it means we do not know and where it will end we can not guess. We are only sure that something extraordinary is just arcund the corner. An Iowa farmer so out of character as this might even quit voting as he shot in '61, and go to voting as he shouts in '32. The pacific Iowa farmers barri cading Iowa roads as Paris mobs once barricaded Paris streets, that is one new thing under the sun. Then in Washington we have the armed forces of the United States directed for the first time in Amer ican history against an unarmed and resisting body of American citizens. the bonus camp. This, too, must mean something, though Just what must be left to time to tell. Dayton News. :o: An Illinois school teacher killed his wife because she permitted the dishes to go unwashed; a develop ment of some theory of his, no doubt, that stern measures were necessary. But even then, the dishes aren't washed. That's the trouble with so many of our theorists they're vis ionary. :o: "All crimes have diminished," Eays a writer, in disrepute since 1896." It is very cheering to know- that they have diminished in one re THE ECONOMICS OF MOSES Senator Moses has begun to figure. t He says Governor Roosevelt proposes ' to lower the tariff system so thatj our debtors may sell us goods andj use the profits to pay the war debts. ' It would have been more strictly ac- j curate if Mr. Moses had said that Governor Roosevelt's position is that if we expect to collect the debts we must let our debtors pay for them in goods that Is, in the proceeds of the sale of goods. But let that dis tinction pass and go on to the sen ator's argument. He holds that to gather approx imately 300 million dollars a year for payments on debts our debtors would have to make profits of 10 per cent on sales to us of three bil- lion dollars of goods. This leveals a complete misapprehension of the method of international settlements. But acceptance of the eccentric Moses thesis would not at all dis pose of the contention that unless our debtors are allowed to sell us goods they cannot pay us their debts. Since we have not heard that the professional cynic from New Hamp shire has joined the steadily enlarg ing ranks oi' business leaders, bank ers, economists and other "sentimen talists" who wish to kick the whole business of reparations and deuts in to the limbo of forgotten things, how does he propose to collect while "pre serving" ihe American market against the foreign invader? And when does he intend to explain the failure of hio friend and leader, Mr. Hoover, to collect while maintaining the Smoot-IIawley wall? Another thing we should like to know is whether the senator sup poses that a lowering of the tariff walls to that otfcer nations could sell us three billion dollars a year would mean that they would sell us goods to that value without our selling them goods? Reading the Moses statement, one might suppose that he had some such idiocy in mind. 'There is not a word to suggest that our industry and agriculture would send one single dollar's v.oith of goods abroad in exchange for the three billion dollars of good3 that we would buy. But if we should sell no goods, while taking three billion dollars' worth, how should we pay? One supposes, even while studying the Moses economics, that we must pay somehow. If we did not sell goods in payment for the goods we bought, would we pay In gold? And how long could the foreigners sell us at the rate of three billion a year if v.e paid in gold? Kow much gold have we? Still one more question pops into mind in reading this essay of th statesman from New Hampshire. He says the Amreican people will never consider "disrupting our agriculture and our industries, with all that means in the way of unemployment and disorganization," by lowering the tariff so that goods may enter from abroad. Disrupting! Disrupt ing! When the American people are doing nothing at all toher than to consider disrupted agriculture and industry disrupted, too, under the twin Ilooverian policies and unpre cedented tariff walls and Insistent demand for debt payments.
