that the city government, instead OF
leaving TO private capital the task of

argue that the government ought TO

Nevertheless because 1t Is best for the

A Chance for Retaliation.

Secretary Root has discovered
that there is in the statute books Il
Federal law authorizing the Presi-
dent, in his discretion, by proclama-
ton, entirely to exclude from our
ports products of foreign countries
which discriminate against the
United States. All he needs do il
convince himself that the United
States is Disseminated against, and
then issue a proclamation naming
the products of a given foreign
country that shall he shut out.
This was passed when Germany
was trying desperately to shut out
American meats altogether from the
empire. and 1t was effective in Il con
siderable degree. Now il is sug-
gested that the provision may be in

the United States is called upon TO
''retaliate" against France OF Ger
many. Rather, Germany and France
are justified in any retaliation they
may aim against the outrageous
treatment which our present tariff
scords them. What the s United
States most needs is. not TO make

They are situated in one Of the new

when Taft faced the crowd OF Perkins
