Is 10 advantage to the world that

tenn Of goyanmcnt in which money Is

manufacturers are at Kietf, and the re-
cent tariff dispute between the United

toned him on the subject.
II don't think there will be any pro-

to America is so small that the differ
ence IN duty Is not worth quarrelng,
over, Unless there Is something behind
this matter, 1t ought to be settled with

Would Russia take part In any anti
American combination, such as the

should We? America and Russia should
