and the labor and expense of res
cuing the party were not enormous.
It appears that the campaign for
Mr. Hoover is that way everywhere.
Here in the middle west they have
been telling us that while the demo
crats might have the edge in the
"cow and Bible belt" New England
was solidly against Roosevelt.
Then came the Maine election.
That was a shocker. And on top of
it Senator Bingham of Connecticut
calls on President Hoover with the
startling report that the campaign
in his own state will be close and
that it "wlil require a hard fight"
to save it from the Roosevelt column.
Can it be possible that the dis-
of New England
feel the same way about four years
more of the Hoover policies as Ne
braska and Iowa do?
And that the feeling extends to
the Pacific coast? It looks that way.
For a special writer for Collier's,
after an extended survey of Wash
ington, Oregon and California, re
ports that all three states are head
ed hell bent for Roosevelt and that
it is difficult to find Hoover support
ers in any one of them.
Of California he says there is "a
situation that lends no comfort at
all to the Hoover management," and
adds:
"No one knows this better
than the forlorn republican
bosses. Something telis them
they are in for a mean Novem
ber. The old bold front is gone
and they are almost humble. Be
hold them in California, the
ebullient Governor Rolph, the
glowering Senator Johnson, and
the fearful Senator Shortridge,
spreading germs of disquiet and
apprehension."
And he quotes a republican worker
in Washington thus:
"The machine gave me a
dime-a-dozen job running around
the state looking for soft spots
places where the republican
organization is paralyzed and
anti-Hoover sentiment is strong.
Now that's out. The organiz
ation doesn't want the truth; it
wants to be kidded. All I found
was soft spots. The idea was to
do something about those soft
spots soak them up. But they
were so soft you couldn't even
mop them up. So I went back
and told the organization the
truth and got canned. Know
what they told me? They said:
" 'Listen, you mug, we didn't
hire you to dig up the bad news.
We can get that for nothing.'
"He sighed heavily, accepted
a cigaret, and then, hopelessly:
'How's things in the east?' "
"Why change?" asked Secretary
Mills.
And it seems that everywhere the
people are retorting: "Why stay for
four years more the way we are?"
Neither Ogden Mills nor any other
of the High Command has found a
good answer to that. And failing a
convincing answer it sure enough
does look like "a mean November"
for the republican leadership.

DECEIVING THE FARMERS
hile tne farmers or Iowa con
tinue in their quixotic effort to keep
farm products from going to mar
ket until prices improve, Senator
Dickinson of Iowa arises across the
line at the Nebraska state fair to
warn them that "calamity and bank
ruptcy are threatened to the indus
trial life of the nation if democratic
free trade principles are permitted
to become a national policy." Of
course, they are not having calam
ity and bankruptcy in Iowa now
We reprinted on this page yester
day an editorial on the new German
tariffs against American products
which went into effect September 6
They include a nubmer of tariffs
against the products of Iowa, includ
ing lard, for which Germany, after
the united kingdom is our largest
foreign market.
Recently we called attention to
the tariffs imposed upon American
farm products by the Ottawa con
ference. They included a tariff of six
cents a bushel on American wheat
exported to England. England is our
largest market for exported wheat.
The democratic free trade poll
cies of which Mr. Dickinson speaks
may be judged by the schedules of
the Underwood tariff. They were far
from free trade, but they did not
bring down upon the United State
retaliatory tariffs against American
products.
It i3 thus the farmers are deceiv
ed. They insist upon remaining the
potential allies of the eastern indus
trialists. They stand on the verge
of peasantry, but they remain blind
to their own political interests. Seth
Axley said in a recent issue of Bar
ron's:
"If any skeptic should like the
exhibit of a skeleton to prove death,
he should be shown the remains of
the Balkans, where tariffs have been
used for the most complete strangu
lation and produced the most insen
sate duplication of farm and factory
To the same effect as the tariffs, of
course, are the most recent improve
ments, such as import quotas, im
port licenses, exchange restrictions
and outright embargoes. Those de
vices have produced such a blockade
in international commerce that our
own trade with other countries is
only one-third of the volume in 1929
In the first five months of this year
our merchandise exports were only
$726,300,000, compared with $2,230,-
000,000 in the same months of 1929;
and imports only 63 C million dollars.
compared with 11.932,900,000 in
that previous period."
Why should the farmers of Iowa
or any other state support a tariff
policy of which they are the princi
pal victims? What good does it do
them to guard the highways, as they
have been doing for more than 30
days, in Iowa and other states, when
they refuse to guard their own inter
est? What does it avail them to
brandish their clubs, as they are do
ing on a hundred guarded highways,
when they vote to bring down upon
their own heads such reprisals as
reprisals
the German tariff on lard and the
British tariff on wheat?

is a war that began in the United

the barriers set up by the United

their indignation they have set up
similar barriers against our Amer

Canadian border has become so bad
that literally hundreds of American
manufacturers have established
branch factories in Canada to escape
tbe tariff. No, more suicidal policy

When the Hawley-Smoot tariff

they would have exactly the effect
which they have had. The Wall

iff bill would make the United States
the gunman of the world. Almost
every great newspaper in the United
States thundered against it. Its re
percussions have ranged as far away
as Australia. They have agitated tbe
French East, west, north, south, in
