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.

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.

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

neys. Milwaukee Journal.

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 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. What
