elbow to Free Trade"

In an editorial article it says:
The capture of the order for two Ar
gentine dreadnoughts by an American
firm of shipbulders is one of the most
markable blows to free trade yet re-
corded. . But an even more dis
agreeable fact remains. In addition to the
British and American firms. Italian and
German firms also rendered. Both Italy
and Germany are protectlOniSt states
Yet their tenders also were below the
British. Indeed. German yards have Sc
cured the orders for four destroyers by
undertaking British shipbuilders.
THE free trade country was thus beat
en- by all it's protectionist rivals 1t came
last, whereas, according to the free trade
There must be something very wrong
with a theory which is SO lamentably
upset whenever 1t is tested
The Daily Telegraph's nava. CORE
spondent supports the assertion that po-
litical influence had much to do with the
MANY reasons he says, apart from
the question of price and the general
financial adjustment of the contract no
doubt had some influence in the final
placing Of the Argentine contract It has
been well known for some time In WASH
ington that for political reasons inf1u-
ence was being used from the capital
with a view to such contamination.
With regard to the nature of the in
fiuence which is alleged to have been ex-
ercised at Washington the Shipping World
says:
Men of the highest authority and in
the best position to know accept the
statement that the two battleships have
gone to the Fore River company, or the
American syndicate, Influenced by the
guarantee that the Argentine navy shall
not be attacked until the new war ton
mage is in commission.

English Bids Too High.

AT first" he said, tenders were in
vited from shipbuilding firms in all coun-
tries-from some fifteen firms altogether
among that number being several Eng
lish firms: but the prices were too high.
Eight firms including three English, were
asked to tender again
again the prices were not what We
wished and third tender was asked for
from five firms. These five included two
English firms-Vickers. Sons & Maxim
and Armstrong, Whitworth & Co.-one
American firm one Italian and one Ger
man. These firms were told that my
government fixed the price Of the two
battleships at s2,2DOO0 each and no
more.
when the final tenders were received
that from the American firm was the
lowest The italian and the German
firms both rendered at about the price
we gave whereas the English firms were
above It, They were nearly f1OOOO
above the figure fixed as the limit and
s1sO.OOO above the price of the American
firm

Evil Is Growing.

AS to the extent OF the evasion DR..
Kebler said:
1T is growing every day. A big per-
centage of the worst cases of fraud and
dangerous use of drugs now is practically
confined to circularizing through the
mails and agencies and delivering goods
with labelling that the law does not pro-
hibit. Some of these frauds. like cheat
ing cancer cures we have been able to
reach through application to the Post
Office Department, but two conditions are
necessary to secure prosecution in this
way. Either the fraudulent article sold
must be transmitted by mail or post
office money order must be sent in pay
ment. Now the tricksters have learned
these conditions and have generally ar
ranged to evade them Their gulls are
notified to procure the fake remedies
from list of local agents. or through
the express companies. and the money re-
ceived is. of course. paid to the agent or
transfer company in cash. which doesn't
pass through the mails from the Gus
TONER The post office has been jealous
in cooperating to the extent of it's abil-
ity. but the current evasions are beyond
its reach.
